El Rinconcito - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

My husband and I came for the first time here. I ordered the flauta plate. I do wish they had an option to get beef flautas, but I still loved the chicken flautas. Rice was a little overcooked, but the flavor was really good. Beans were also good! This is the first restaurant where beans don't taste like canned beans. My husband got the green chilaquiles with over medium eggs, which were also really good! We got a quesadilla de flor de calabaza.. and I think this was my favorite thing! It was amazing and the tortilla was truly homemade! Coffee was exceptional, it had a cinnamon taste which made it taste like café de olla. I do wish they had chips and salsa, but I'm not sure if they offer it later, since we went before 11 am. Ambiance is nice & peaceful. Service was great! The server was really nice! I would definitely come again! read more

Don't let the name fool you--El Rinconcito might not be in a corner, but it is a hidden gem. This spot serves up delicious, traditional food that tastes like it was made by family. It has that home-cooked feel, like your tía or mami is in the kitchen making something special just for you. It's a small, simple place where you order at the counter, take a seat, and your food is brought out to you. The vibe is casual and welcoming--definitely gives "starter restaurant" energy in the best way. I'm excited to see them grow and offer even more in the future, but honestly, it already feels like home. Bring your appetite--the food is that good. read more

Oh man.... The chorizo and egg were awful. I've NEVER tasted a such an odd but gross chorizo before. I can't even describe it. The agua Fresca lemonade was watered down and sour. As if it was old from the day before and no sugar added. I wasted the entirety of my money before I couldn't eat anything I ordered. Never again. read more

El Rinconcito - Just made terribly tasting "chorizo" and egg taco. - Mexican Near Me - Round Rock, Texas

Cute little place tucked away in Round Rock. I was craving a breakfast burrito, and wanted to try someplace new. Yelp steered me towards El Rinconcito. Plenty of parking, and easy access. I ordered a sausage, egg, cheese & potato breakfast burrito made to order. It was big and stuffed full of ingredients! I also ordered an Al pastor taco. It was ok, but not outstanding. The burrito was hot & cheesy, with big flavor in every bite! The service was efficient, and I was in and out in a few minutes. I'd like to go back and dine inside sometime! read more

Todo súper rico todo, las enchiladas verdes tanto como rojas!quedamos muy satisfechos con la comida

AMAZING FOOD! Second time here. First time I tried the menudo and the beef fajitas. Second time I was here for breakfast. I had the red and green chilaquiles that were made that way so I can try both and the machaca con huevos. And both were delicious! To top it off they have hand made tortillas! This is the closest you'll get to real Mexican food cooked by a granny at home. I can tell this meals are cooked with love! read more

I had menudo but had no hominy, at all like not a single piece of hominy. The flavor was there but ehh. I also ordered two barbacoa tacos, pretty sure it was pork not cow tongue, cheek but pork. My husband got the el pastor burrito. His taste buds are temporary out so I can't really say much about it because I did not try myself. The staff we interacted with was polite but spoke no English. Highly recommend someone who can translate. In total for two to eat a burrito, two tacos, medium bowl of menudo, topo Chico, and aqua Fresca which tasted nothing like aqua Fresca we paid $50 after a $4.55 tip. Insane! Unfortunately between the price and mediocre food we will not be back. I do love the small setting, it's an old house. Reminds me of my grandmothers kitchen only I love her food! read more

El Rinconcito is one of those restaurants on Mays Street in Round Rock that you may drive by every day and not even notice it. It looks like someone converted a small house into a small restaurant. Parking is limited, more parking in the rear (back yard). Once inside you see that it's a quaint little spot that's very popular with the locals. When you arrive, you step right up to the order window. Be sure to let them know if you're dinning in. El Rinconcito offer a variety of Mexican breakfast and lunch choices that take you back to memories or dinning in Small Mexico City eateries. The Food is very authentic and the taste is amazing. I had the Chorizo and Egg Breakfast with refried beans, white cheese sprinkled on top. I was craving potatoes for some reason so I asked if they could blend in potatoes with the meal. No problem. They serve the most delicious coffee in this cute little mug. It has a hint of cinnamon. I love it. My wife has tasted the Carne Asada Torta (Mexican Steak sandwich, but so much more). She was quite pleased with the flavor. I can't wait to try their burritos and the "Torta Cubans. You'll just have to come in to see what this is all about. Service is excellent. This location is fairly small so service is personal. The servers are always smiling and vert friendly. They are very accommodating and will build your meal to your liking. The Salas is very good, but watch out for the red one. Took my breath away. All and all I Visit this place whenever I can. I just wish they stayed open longer.

This is my new spot! Definitely a hole in the wall that is more than worth it. I came here for a solo bday breakfast and I'm so glad I did. I got a BPEC breakfast taco and the huevos rancheros. DELICIOUS! Homemade tortillas, great salsa, great quality food. I'll definitely be back to try more lunch/dinner options. The waitress is very nice as wellZ read more

Today I came to this establishment for the first time and got the lunch special to-go. Today the special was flautas with beans and rice. The four flautas were fresh and crisp an topped with sour cream. The rice for the dish was hard as if it had been left out or prepared ahead of the flautas. I would order this dish again but would most definitely check the side dishes prior to leaving with my order. read more

Update after eating here 9/16/18 and 12/8/18: The food isn't as good. I didn't change my review the last time because I thought it was a fluke but it's not. Their barbacoa is not tender anymore. The food is fine and tasty but it's not exceptional any more to us. I feel sad because this was my favorite place for breakfast The service is always friendly. read more

We were headed to a different breakfast place originally, but spotted this one on the way and thought we'd try something new. I'm so glad we did! I ordered the huevos rancheros and my husband ordered breakfast tacos. The place is small so you probably want to avoid peak hours unless ordering takeout. We arrived at the tail end of brunch and were lucky to get a table. Everything we tried was delicious. I really liked their salsa..not too spicy but still flavorful. The huevos rancheros was doused in it so I ended up eating it in tortillas like breakfast tacos. The staff were all very friendly and let us know up front how long their wait for food would be. Would recommend for a good weekend breakfast! read more

Now when you first see this place it doesn't look like much but this hidden gem be is definitely worth the look and 100% worth the flavor of the food!! I ordered Chilaquiles and the flavor was beyond my expectations! I also got a side of beans and they were homemade from scratch! My girls ordered pancakes which were fluffy and perfect with every bite! Now it's small inside and very cozy so to speak the staff was friendly and helpful! It gives very mom and pop vibes and once again worth the stop! Oh I almost forgot you must get some chips and salsa! The salsa was homemade and complete favor, not very hot but so full of flavor!!

I'm pretty sure the management or ownership changed. I haven't seen Maria or the cool guy in the kitchen in a while. The red salsa here was my favorite, super spicy and full of flavor. Today I had two breakfast tacos I usually get the #1 tacos on flour. First of all, It had no homemade tortillas like they used to have, instead it was a thin undercooked store bought tortilla, second, the egg and potato mixture was bland, like they used canned diced potatoes, so gross. They used to have big chunks of tasty potatoes not tiny mush. And my biggest problem, the salsa is completely different tasted like just garlic. I used to get tacos from here at least once a week. Not going back unless Maria and the guy in the kitchen are back. read more

Places like these are exactly why I am going to miss Austin. Such an unassuming facade, you could definitely drive by and miss this place. But thanks to Yelp, we found this awesome place for breakfast. Javier at the front of the house was warm and welcoming and made us feel at home right away. We got the Jamaica drink, a chilaquiles plate and a dish called the Huevos Azteca which comprised of a thick corn tortilla with two over easy eggs, pinto beans, queso blanca and sour cream. Each of the eggs were covered in a red sauce and green sauce and the entire dish was delicious. Who knew authentic Mexican cuisine could get any better? Check this place out if you're ever in the area! read more

Ordered Uber eats but here's the food experience: Pros- Migas taco was good! Chorizo and egg tacos were good! Cons- The salsa cups were bloated. That's not a good sign. The barbacoa tastes like boiled brisket, it definitely was not a good "barbacoa". The chips were undercooked - they had a stale texture and they tasted like a cleaning chemical smells! I won't be ordering again, sorry. read more

Easy to miss this place on Mays. A good mom and pop restaurant that has all of the basics down right. Their breakfast tacos are worthy. Good, spicy chorizo and decent barbacoa. Parking is tight, but worth a visit. read more

We tried 3 tacos and a bowl of posole and were underwhelmed. Scraped our car getting into the back parking lot. My carne guisada taco was on the small side, not a lot of taste but a lot of chew to it. I ordered a picadillo soft flour tortilla taco and got enchiladas, those went to whoever was supposed to have them and eventually I got my picadillo taco, the potatoes were huge and some were undercooked. I wasn't offered any salsas. My wife liked her crunchy picadillo taco and her posole, the posole had tons of hominy and a little pork, the pork that was present was tender and the posole rated 3 stars. read more

We came into town and found this spot based on the reviews. I was really looking forward to it because of how great the reviews were. Although the service was great and they were quick; I must say I was a little disappointed in the size of the taco. They were the size of your average taco cabana breakfast taco. (I guess I'm used to having bigger tacos, I'm from a small town). read more

Muy rico el pozole!! El pan dulce con cafe! Todo muy bueno y el servicio muy amable. Lo recomiendo 100%

Dropped in for breakfast tacos(3) and regular beef tacos(2) to go. Got home opened them up and was very disappointed. The breakfast tacos were light on ingredients and didn't include enough salsa for 1 taco. The regular ground beef lunch tacos were a joke. Mushy ground beef thrown in a small tortilla with couple chunks of potatoes (??), no pico, no cheese, one small salsa. Not what I ordered. Never again..... read more

So I've been on this massive hunt for mini taquitos. Something as comparable to Taquito West Ave in San Antonio. Let me tell you about El Rinconcito. With 4.5 stars and only mere 126 reviews, this place is gold to my quest. Beef Fajita Taquitos that aren't overpowered by salt. The beef is all the way through marinated and tender. You know when you find meat like this, you take a second to thank them for the overnight work. Unlike other places I tried, beef are BBQed to well done and chared. The flavor might be great but this makes it lose the fat and crumbles everywhere. El Rinconcito serves right, with a dump of caramelized onions in the center of the plate and a sauteed jalapeno popped on top. Corn tortillas that don't disintegrate as they fried the cheese right on the tortilla giving it that oh so appreciated crispy cheesy edges. You're welcome. Go. read more

I'm so picky about Mexican food... I mean, it's bad, y'all. This spot is a cute little house in Round Rock that has some pretty decent fare. The salsa is pretty tasty and has a spicy kick. I prefer a more chunky salsa that's cold, but this was pretty darn good. The chips are homemade and hot and yummy! THANK THE CHIPS GODS! Now, onto the food: I got Caldo de Reyes. I was thinking I should get the small bowl, since the spot I go to usually has a giant bowl of Clado... I went ahead with the large, just in case. I have enclosed a photo- it was the size of the palm of my hand. It was very tiny, several carrots and a teeny tiny piece of meat. The corn, which I am used to being about 1/4 of a cob, was also a teeny tiny piece. It was just weird. I asked to make sure I had indeed gotten the large and was assured I had. I ordered a grilled steak taco to give that a try and it was good! Ok portion of meat, fresh corn tortilla. All in all, the place is good and I'd go back if I was in the area. My only complaints would be that there was no refill on chips & the portions were expensive for being super small. There were two of us and the bill was about $30. This was expensive for a hole in the wall Mexican food spot. read more

Had a weird day at work and decided to find a new Mexican restaurant to try out. While driving, I decided to go onto Yelp to find a spot. Yes, I am a badass for texting and driving during rush hour traffic just to get Mexican food. That is some dedication. Anyway, I was reading several reviews and wanted to see how people perceived the food and service here. I'll tell you guys right now that I did not agree with the very few Negative Nancys that posted their thoughts. I tried this spot out and I know well now that when people post crap, it usually is just crap. I respect most opinions but I don't respect absolute spewed bullshit with no constructive substance. To the honest review now... Atmosphere: Outside is much smaller. Very easy to miss the spot. Next to a gas station and across from another gas station. Small parking lot in the front but there is parking in the back. Inside is surprising roomier than I would've thought. When you walk in, there is a little ordering window to the left of the door and then tables with chairs to the right; several booths. It is definitely the feel of a traditional mom and pop shop. Tip: The bathroom light is outside of the bathroom. Menu: Very big selection of foods from caldos to almuerzo, to sides and desserts. There are a lot of things to choose from and I do like the variety. Personally, I like a simplified menu of select dishes but these guys do well with the consistent flavors and dishes they put out so it works for them to have a big menu. If you have a fix for menudo or pozole, they have it. If you need to have a taco, well they have that too plus the variety of meats to choose from. Big selection so go all out. Food: We were served with some warm tortilla chips and a steaming red tomato salsa. I thoroughly enjoyed the salsa. I then ordered mini taquitos with beef fajitas, several breakfast tacos, several al la carte tacos (all on corn instead of flour), limonada, flan and churros. The meats I chose for the tacos were: tripas (soft and crispy variants, al pastor, and barbacoa. For the breakfast tacos, I had migas, bacon and egg, and papas con chorizo. It is usually very easy to find my personal favorite out of the variety but I had a tough time picking one out from here because everything was so good. Taco to taco, it was flavor from the meats melding inside my mouth (that's what she said). The limonada was quite amazing too. Great food. Customer Service: David was our waiter and he was a very cool guy. He was upfront about the selections that he recommended and even was personable. I have a lot of respect for folks who not only take care of the patrons that they serve but also the honesty of what he enjoyed personally. I trust reviews based on a wide consensus but if someone tells you something is highly recommended, that is more than enough for me to believe that the dish will be great. Overall Value: It really depends on what you get but I would have to say that this place does provide the bang for your buck. You sometimes even get more than you paid for. Food pricing was on the cheaper end so it was easy to get filled up. The flavors were amazing. Different variety and great service. All in all, this is a place I recommend for lunch and a small get-together with friends and family. The tacos are solid. I love the limonada at this joint. I would highly recommend this place and I will be stopping in a whole lot more. 5/5 stars. read more

Ive been here a few times in the last month. Ive ordered chilaquiles with beef both times that I've been. The first time I would say it was the best chilaquiles I've had since El Borrego de oro... the 2nd time I had it...the beef was kinda chewy.. must have been a bad batch of beef or perhaps it was a different weekend chef? I am excited to try their menudo/posole. The staff seemed very eager to provide great service. it is a very small space with a small parking lot so plan accordingly but it is very cute and quaint. read more

Oh my DIOS! So this is strictly a review about the Pozole because I did not have a chance to eat anything else during our first trip. The Pozole was the best Pozole hands down that I have ever had! The soup was filled with so much flavor, spoonful after spoonful it was like I couldn't get enough! I am upset that I only ordered a small because I would of loved to of had some left overs to have right now! Oh and the combination with a bit of lime, onions, cilantro AND homemade tortillas... ai! It is making my mouth water just thinking about it! If you are looking for a tasty soup filled with flavor on a cool day or if you are in the mood for soup, you need to come to this place and try it out! My Fiancé had their menudo and was also very impressed with it! Needless to say we are going back for more, maybe even today and looking to explore more of their menu! Oh and did I mention they serve their salsa hot to go along with their chips! Totally a first time thing but was also bomb! Their staff is also super nice and personable! Overall we had a great experience and will be coming back for more! read more
