not a bad experience at all!…read more fun vibes inside, kind staff, quick and attentive service. food was a blend of classic Texmex and some unique items. i got the nachos with chicken and added some pepper and onions. i prefer them more built up rather than a flat layer, and I wish they had put the guacamole and sour cream on top instead of serving on the side, but the flavor was good. all they had was pink lemonade (which I wish they had alerted me about before bringing it to me bc i don't really care for pink lemonade), but now i know for next time.

Great Mexican Food, Fun Decor We have been to the Cape Coral…read morelocation a few times and thought we'd give this Fort Myers location a visit. Glad we did. If they had any outside seating, we didn't see it. No matter as it was too warm to have enjoyed sitting outside anyway. We were seated promptly in a very colorful dining room. The jungle theme of the ceiling, the colorful lights and décor all make for a fun setting. Our drink orders were taken right away with complimentary chips and salsas delivered quickly. The chips are thin house fried tortillas, cut in half, lightly salted and still warm. A plate of 4 different salsas/dips accompanied the chips. The menu explained what each one was. Fountain soda was $3.95 and tap beer was $7.50 for a 22 ounce Modelo Negra. The menu has everything you could want at a Mexican eatery. My wife had the Juan's Combo Dinner -3 ($22.00). She selected a Steak Taco, a Chicken Enchilada and a Beef Tamale. The steak on the taco had a great seasoning with nice tender steak chunks instead of the usual diced meat. She ordered the Mexican toppings which had cilantro and onions. The alternative is American style with lettuce and cheese. The enchilada was ordered with a white cheese sauce (choose from 4 or 6 different sauces). It tasted great, lots of chicken and cheese. She ordered a red sauce on her tamale and that too was excellent. Her side dish of Beans and Rice was pretty standard. I had some dental work done recently so I need to eat softer food. I ordered the Pozole soup ($13.00) which is shredded pork and hominy based in what they called a spicy broth. I didn't find the broth to be spicy at all so I added some of the sauces they bring to the table to zip it up. (Nice carrier of 6 or 8 sauces with a few real zippy ones.) The soup is served with traditional cold items that can be added to the soup to taste. I added them all - slivered radishes, diced onion, sliced avocado, lettuce and lime. Outstanding soup! I loved it. I brought home enough to have for lunch the next day. So now let's make the night out even better. Not sure if it's every Wednesday, but this particular night was 30% off the entire bill if you paid in cash. Done deal. Cash money = big savings! Go there, eat well, maybe save some bucks.

The decor is very "on theme" for a Mexican restaurant, with bright paintings, seats, and decor, as well as tequila bottle chandeliers. The chips and salsa were delicious, and I liked that they gave everyone their own personal bowl of salsa. My son had the cheese quesadilla kids meal and ate the whole thing, so it must've been good! I went with the cheeseburger taco and buffalo taco. Everything was served quickly and was fresh and piping hot! They have many traditional, as well as unique, options to choose from.

AMAZING FOOD & SO WORTH IT!…read more If you're looking for authentic, delicious Mexican food in Bonita Springs, you HAVE to try Maria's Restaurant! Everything we ordered was SO flavorful and fresh. The food was packed with flavor, the portions were generous, and the prices were honestly very reasonable for the amount of food you get. You definitely don't leave feeling like you overpaid or didn't get enough! The enchiladas/taquitos topped with fresh lettuce, tomatoes, cheese and crema were delicious, and the rice and beans were the perfect sides. The quesadilla was also HUGE and loaded with filling! And if you're children are a fan of fries and chicken nuggets, their crispy nuggets and fries were a hit too! What really stood out to me was that the food actually tastes homemade. You can tell they put care into what they serve. The flavors, portions, and prices make this a place I would definitely come back to.

I asked a long time waitress and she said that's what "steak is for today". So I paid up for steak, get shredded beef and a shoulder shrug explanation. I then made clear I am not eating it and won't pay for something I didn't order that they knowingly served when it wasnt my order. Then another bartender lectures me if you don't order "carne asada" even though the menu says steak in English that's "your mistake and not theirs" lol. They dropped that and then tried to charge my dads meal despite fathers eating free on Father's Day and begrudgingly took it off. just do better, and If you can't read your menu you don't play linguistic games with customers to cheat them is where I stand. Avoid as that's how they treat Father's Day so imagine any other day with that sentiment. Also make sure you get served what you ordered and paid an upcharge for so they don't try to scam you too. I did eventually find another restaurant to eat thankfully and got what I ordered magically lol.

El Rinconcito Mexicano - Lehigh Acres, FL Phone: (239)…read more369‑6577 Today around 4:00 PM, I experienced one of the finest Mexican meals in Southwest Florida at El Rinconcito Mexicano in Lehigh Acres. The food was exceptional--fresh, bold, authentic, and clearly prepared with tremendous care and tradition. What truly made this visit extraordinary was the service provided by Alex, the owners' son. Alex is an outstanding young man whose character, pride, and dedication elevate the entire restaurant. He carries himself with professionalism, warmth, and genuine pride in his Hispanic heritage. It is clear he plays a vital role in helping his parents run the restaurant, working side‑by‑side with his brother to uphold the family's standards of excellence. Alex's hospitality was remarkable. He was attentive, respectful, and sincerely invested in ensuring I had an exceptional dining experience. His kindness, enthusiasm, and deep pride in his family's work make him a standout in the world of customer service. People like Alex are rare--he embodies the heart and soul of a true family‑run establishment. The meal itself was phenomenal, and the combination of authentic cuisine and Alex's exceptional service makes El Rinconcito Mexicano a restaurant I am proud to give a full five‑star rating.

It's definitely not that type of place. COVID seating arrangements are arranged for social distancing and you can always get it to go. There were three of usand we took their recommendations on food selectionsand it was simply delicious. Their house margarita is honestly one of the best plain margaritas I've ever had and I'm not a tequila drinker. But it was tasty and redesigned. The fresh made chips and salsa were a meal in itself. Check them out, as it's 70 miles from Fort Lauderdale and you can visit the Florida Wildlife Panther Reserve which is amazing. You'll see a part of Florida that you live so close to, but never realized it existed. BTW, the Seminole Tribe of Florida has a hotel and casino near by, which is very nice to spend a night at. Think of this adventure as a mini vacation that can be done and day, 365 days a year!
