My fiancé and I went to Rincon for lunch yesterday. The food did take a bit longer than we expected for a not-so-busy, rainy afternoon around 2:45 pm, but it was absolutely delicious as always, so it was worth the wait. As vegetarians, we really appreciate their vegan meat options. The portions are always very generous, and the prices are very reasonable. Rincon continues to be one of our favorite spots for a satisfying, veggie-friendly meal. read more

Rincon Taqueria - Calle Real Bowl with Vegan Meat - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

Rincon Taqueria in Norwalk, CT is one of those places you almost don't want to talk about because it feels like a secret. The food, vibe, and service are all on point. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and really informative. They're happy to walk you through the menu and make recommendations based on what you like. It's also surprisingly vegetarian- and vegan-friendly, they offer vegan meats so you can swap them into a lot of the classic dishes, which is rare for a taqueria. The food is outstanding. Even the free chips and salsa they start you with are memorable: the chips are fresh and super crunchy, and the salsa has real depth of flavor, not just heat. The entrées are some of the best value around, the burritos are massive (one could easily feed two or three people), and for takeout, the quesadillas literally come in a pizza box, which tells you everything you need to know about portion size. Their appetizers, queso, and house-made hot sauce are all excellent and full of flavor, not just spice. Most times I've been, the service has been fast, even when they're busy. The interior is clean, colorful, and decorated with authentic touches, so it feels fun and relaxed whether you're dining in or just grabbing takeout. If you're searching for great Mexican food in Norwalk, big portions, vegetarian/vegan options, and friendly service, Rincon Taqueria is easily one of the best spots around. Highly recommend. read more

My wife and I had lunch here and found the food to be delicious and plentiful. Bought the chicken burrito and wow it was hugggge. You can definitely eat for two if you decide to buy the burrito. Wife had a combo entree which she thought was also very good. Recommend and we will return. Plenty of parking right in front, staff were very friendly and prices were descent. read more

We had been meaning to try this place for a long time as friends of ours really like it. So we stopped in one day for a late lunch to give it a try. There was one group in the restaurant that was finishing their meal when we walked in. We placed our order, chips and salsa were served promptly. And that was the only food we got to eat there. After 40 minutes of waiting, we asked the waitress what the holdup was and we were told that our order was taking extra time because something in our order required grilling. Hadn't heard that one before. A few minutes later our waitress came over to offer us margaritas because of the wait, which was nice but it was mid-afternoon so we passed. I asked her then how much longer the order would be and she said 5 minutes tops. After another 10 minutes with no food or further explanation (total wait time close to an hour), we told the waitress we were leaving. I was expecting her to tell us the food was coming right out - at least ask us if we wanted to take it to go. All she said was "I'm sorry". At this point, we were the only seated party. Headscatcher. read more

I've written about Rincon before because it serves the freshest, most delicious food in a warm, friendly atmosphere where diners make new friends and talk across tables. The service is excellent and the burritos are the size of your forearm and twice as thick. Don't believe me? Judge for yourself ... read more

It was very good. The owner's father was working that night and was very nice. The service was very good. Okay, okay. You need to order the burrito when you go there. It is the size of a small car and can feed three people with ease. The one great thing is it is full of flavor. The menu is small but the food is good. The drinks were great and I really like the atmosphere. Very quaint. Highly recommend Bean Burrito read more

The server/bar tender (Elizabeth) is the kindest most hard working person. All the staff goes above and beyond the call to ensure a comfortable experience. The servers are great with kids and know how to make incredible drinks. The food at Rincon is so fresh. Walking in, I feel comfortable and at home. Rincon is a staple in my life and a great place to relax and have great conversation with the staff. read more

Still solid after all these years. Salsa is super fresh made every day and taste like it would be in Mexico. Monster burritos that seem like it'd be good for five meals, what always it take home portion. Incredibly friendly staff who work hard and never have an attitude. Since this business cares about giving quality food at their prices. read more

Great spot. The food never disappoints. Service was great. Daniel our server was lovely. Tacos and rice and beans along with chips and salsa and guacamole. The margarita was given two thumbs up. Thank you so much. We will be back. read more

Absolutely love this place! Excellent service. Warm people. The food is excellent. I love ordering a burrito and having leftovers for two meals. The burrito is huge and delicious! I get the vegetarian burrito and my partner gets the vegan burrito. Both are great and the restaurant offers an option of vegan "meat". Additionally, the black beans are vegan. The restaurant is festive, clean, and comfortable inside. I've had a couple of dinners with colleagues here. Always a great place with excellent food and wonderful service. Love to return to Rincon again and again. read more

Incredible. The best Cuban sandwich I've had in the States. The food is amazing. Do not miss out on this. Staff is very friendly too.

Casual Mexican spot with great food and service. The fried fish taco was delicious and the braised pork burrito was incredible and HUGE! Left satisfied w/ leftovers. read more

This place is the bomb! Portions are huge and everything is delicious- it's by far the best guacamole I've had in awhile. The quesadilla was so big I had half to eat for lunch the next day. The steak was tender and easy to eat - no struggles pulling at the meat to cut through it and ending up with the whole slice pulling out of the quesadilla. Everything is fresh and the owners are so sweet. Norwalk is a little bit of a hike for us but I'm going to make it a point to come here more often - there's just no good Mexican closer to me. read more

I've been coming to place since it first opened back in 2011 and still after all these years the food and service has never disappointed. Tonight with had a waiter named Alex and he was awesome. Tonight I had the steak fajita and the were incredible. The environment was so relaxed and comfortable. Good ambiance. read more

Horrible service. Not returning! We were seated. No menu cards given for 10 mins. The server wanted us to place order without looking at menu. Received menu after requesting. Placed order. Order included chicken quesadilla. Had mentioned to make non spicy as that was for a kid. Received cheese quesadilla instead. We had to wait for 15 mins to get server look at us and visit the table. (The restaurant had just 2 other tables occupied, so not busy) When asked why no chicken we were told because chicken one is spicy. Then you should have come back to us informing about the situation rather than changing our order on your own. When questioned, the server took away entire plate of quesadilla with anger. Then returned after 15 mins, not with our original order of chicken quesadilla but instead asked "do you still want chicken quesadilla?". You kidding me, you needed 15 mins to ask this? We were done at that point by their attitude and refused and left. read more

Small restaurant on post road in Norwalk. Passed it many times as looks can be deceiving. Our office ordered take out for lunch. The website shows the restaurant is open at 11 am. I called at 1130 and was told they aren't open yet. Called back at noon placed order for pick up. We had tamales that were very dense with a sweet after taste and the pork meat was sadly dry. The accompanying sauces were very fresh as well as spicy. Second we had fish tacos which were your normal fish taco nothing to write home about. The rice and beans we had as a side dish was a decent portion and tasted good but again nothing fabulous. We lastly ordered margaritas which were the smallest margaritas I have ever seen but that is the only reason the two star rating is being given. The drinks were fresh and potent but severely overpriced as was the food. Won't be back Parking is ample They do take credit card and are open for lunch and dinner read more

I like this place a lot. It feels authentic and the tacos are amazing. I tend to get the fish tacos, which are huge, crisp, flavorful and just yum. The chips and salsa they give you are also amazing, especially the salsa. It is fresh and flavorful. read more

My brother is the one that wanted to go here so badly because our friend said this was the best Mexican food in the state. I was like ehhhh firstly that's a bold statement and secondly I didn't feel like going all the way to Norwalk, but I reluctantly went. And I'm glad because this definitely is the best Mexican food I've had!!! Even better the price is right because the portions are massive. The burrito was like the size of my face, and I always finish everything, but I couldn't handle that burrito. It was so good, even the rice I could eat by itself! I could tell everything was homemade even the churros, which everyone seems to get frozen. The churros were like butter! And they give you caramel and chocolate on the side, I could eat those all day. Overall, everyone needs to try this place! read more

Rincon Taqueria - Massive burrito, definitely share - Mexican Near Me - Norwalk, Connecticut

We happened to be in this place because we really wanted to eat out and without exaggeration, this is one of the tastiest Mexican restaurants we have ever tried. Quality food, interesting flavor, food that shows the work of the chef. Everything is fresh, good spices, and good portions. The burrito is huge and very tasty, really, we hadn't seen anything like it in Mexico and were very pleasantly surprised to find it in Connecticut. We also tried the chicken and meat tacos, that was very good too. Thank you for your wonderful work. I hope your business continues to thrive. P.s. The inside is very nice, lots of greenery, all Mexican style. I recommend. read more

Pictures don't do it justice, the burrito is ridiculous. Easily could feed 3 people. It's basically the size of an arm. To put it into perspective, they give you a pizza box to bring it home. There was a good portion of chicken, lots of rice and beans with vegetables mixed in. Cheese and sour cream thoughtfully on the top so you can save it for a 2nd or 3rd meal. Wife enjoyed the pork taco and soup, said it was spicy. Great service, very attentive! Small menu but it's ok as it almost feels like you're getting an authentic home cooked meal. Really enjoyed Rincón Taqueria! read more

I like this place for: the chips & guacamole! The fresh drinks!! The BIG burritos!!! I made three meals out of mine and I like to eat. Parking is easy. Take out is convenient. But it's a nice place to eat in and chill. Nothing fancy but Never a rush to get you out. read more

This little hole-in-the-wall has the most delicious food and a super reasonable price. They provided chips & salsa to start and water.. I liked the salsa- tasted fresh & authentic. After we placed our order, we saw a waitress bring a GIGANTIC burrito to the table next to us. The thing was enormous and everyone started laughing because it could easily feed 3 grown men. My friend and I got the rice and beans platter w shredded chicken and it was delicious. We got cheese empanadas that we stuffed the rice into and omg it was so amazing. We were so full but ordered the tres leches to split. It was amazing omg. The whipped cream was very fresh tasting and the strawberries that made the presentation very pretty were delicious and fresh too. I'd recommend this place. Would be good for a first date because it's laid back and the food was good. They have a full bar although I didn't get anything to drink. The margaritas LOOKED good. read more

Been meaning to check this place out after seeing it listed in an article as the best Mexican restaurant in Connecticut. It did not disappoint. Despite being short staffed and very busy, the service was great and the food was excellent. The burrito as bigger than anything I've ever seen and had to weigh at least five pounds. We got multiple meals out of both the burrito and the quesadilla. It was a really nice atmosphere too - crowded but not too loud, nicely decorated, cozy benches with pillows - all in all a great night out. read more

Food was eh ok. Very spicy, hot! I dislike black pepper let alone spicy hot food. My dad on other hand likes it. This is how your food is made even when not requested. My dad tried mine and said wow that's spicy. I couldn't eat it. It was pork tamales. You would think when waiter cleared our plates he would have questioned me about it seeing everything was left, didn't even ask if I wanted it to go. Disappointed read more

I am from the West Coast and was excited to try Rincon Taqueria. It's got a relaxing, chill vibe. There is an uber cute small bar in the center with a nice selection of beers and tequila. Service was good and attentive. It was after the typical lunch rush, so one girl was running the front. Between the 3 tables inside, and attending to a few take-out orders, she was busy, but I never felt as if I were waiting. She was on top of things. The food was good. I had a Cheese Empanada, Shrimp Taco and Fish Taco. The Cheese Empanada was good, the dough light and crispy, the cheese was simple, yet flavorful. It was served with a salsa that I thought was just ok. It was missing some depth of flavors. When the tacos came out, I was a bit worried that as they looked similar and I thought they were going to taste the same, but with just a different protein. To my surprise, they both had distinct flavors. I was also going to ask for salsa as I am accustomed to having Salsa Verde or Roja with my tacos. But again, to my surprise they didn't any additional salsa. Both tacos were very abundant, but also hard to eat. I was also disappointed that the tortillas didn't hold up well to the sauces and other ingredients in the tacos as they began to break apart. It's hard to say which taco I liked better - the flavor of the shrimp was better than the fish, but the other ingredients were more flavorful on the fish taco. I also thought the fried fish lack any fried crispiness. Overall I had a good experience. I wouldn't hesitate visiting again, but probably wouldn't make a special trip either. read more

Good value for the money but not very authentic is how I would sum up Rincon Taqueria. Honestly CT does not have many good Mexican spots. Southern Texas and Souther Cali you can throw a rock and hit 10 great Mexican Restaurants but around here most are sub par so I'm used to this. If you like Mexican food in CT this is about average quality and the portions are Monstrous so the value is there so maybe you will enjoy it more than I did. I travel a lot and have had much better. The waiter was very nice, food came out quick and overall the experience was nice. The food for me just doesn't stand out other than the huge quantity you get but I would prefer prefer higher quality. read more

Their fish tacos are just amazing. I have had fish tacos before but this one just consisted of different flavoring which made the tacos taste delicious. FYI: one of my friends got their burrito and the burrito was huge! Never seen such a big burrito before. Could easily fill up 2-3 people. They give chips and salsa complementary and the cool part is that the chips consists of different colors. The customer service was on point. The manager/owner kept coming and asking us how we were doing and also brought us their specialty hot sauce that is made in the restaurant itself. It was very spicy!! read more

Huge portions, delicious food, great service. Ambiance leaves a little to be desired but who cares when the food is so good?

The restaurant is neat looking and organized. It's appealing to the eye yeah but, that's not why this review is here. Okay now onto the service, it's good. The service isn't at all bad but, the atmosphere is kinda awkward. There's barely anyone in the restaurant so you'll be attended quickly. The wait for the food to arrive wasn't too long either. Friendly staff but, lack of communication is all I can say. Food. The food here was disappointing. Sure, it looked nice when it arrived. The garnish on the food was okay but, the amount of chopped onions and cilantro was a bit too much. The chicken was bland it had barely any flavor on it, like it was just grilled and served and any tortilla was hard and unpleasant. The chips and salsa they serve as an appetizer was awful. The chips had no flavor and they tasted odd, the salsa on the other had was certainly something. The salsa had an alright taste at the start but, as you thoroughly consume it, it comes to a weird sour after taste. I observed the food carefully and the yellow rice is definitely canned, most of the food looked microwaved with little to no effort put in it. Overall, this was a bad experience. This is the only real and honest review you'll see and need to this place (remember this is just an opinion, it doesn't matter if you come here or not). Criticism is the key to improvement though. Good luck. read more

BEST TACOS!!! The beef and pork tacos are amazing!!! Meat was so tender, flavorful, and juicy. Fish tacos were cooked perfectly, although I would've liked an aioli or something. As of right now, they are solely doing take out; they have tables outside so you can take out and eat outside but technically no sit down dining with wait service. Super cute place, there's a reason why the reviews are consistently so high! Would highly recommend. read more
