This is my brother's favorite taco spot, so I've been here a couple of times already...it's time for a review! Service: 5/5 The servers here are very welcoming. They're friendly and constantly check on you without hovering. They offer chips and salsa as soon as you're seated. Ambiance: 4/5 The restaurant is colorful and super cute. It looks pretty clean and has plenty of tables to accommodate both small and large groups. Food: 4/5 Do you want authentic Mexican food? Would you like in house made tortillas? Then this is the place! My kids inhaled their barbacoa tacos like they were the best thing they've ever eaten. Everything was good, but I do feel like it's lacking just a bit of salt. They have a variety of salsas...my favorite is the green cilantro one. Yumm!!! Craving tacos? Go here! read more

Tacos El Rinconcito - Mexican Near Me - Watauga, Texas

A pretty standard Mexican food restaurant! The food was good but wasn't blown away. My husband and I both ordered a taco plate with pastry and it was good. Lots of sauce options that they bring to the table to put on as well as onions, cilantro and limes. I got an horchata and it was tasty! Overall, good service and food was made quickly. read more

My family and I were on our way to Rosa's for fresh tortillas when we saw Tacos El Rinconcito behind Cotton Patch (over in the shopping center by the Target in Watauga). We were immediately seated and brought chips and salsa along with our drink orders by a friendly server (Maggie was the name on our receipt!). We ordered el pastor, steak, and chicken Gorditas which were so delicious! You can choose the meats for all three gorditas or just order all the same. I topped mine with the cilantro/onion salsa as well as the green salsa. We were offered a bowl of limes which made for the most perfect flavor. They tasted SO fresh and so delicious! I also loved the spice of the green salsa, which she brought to the table in a squeeze bottle. Additional, we ordered the taco plate with el pastor. My children loved them! They advertised that tortillas are handmade and you can definitely taste the freshness. We are so glad we decided to drop by for some fresh tacos. Thank you so much!! read more

So we've been on a Mexican food kick here lately. Honestly, my wife has been but like to keep her happy. This is just around the corner from us and we liked the consistent good reviews. Stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon and the inside is really so much nicer than the outside. It has the feel of a mom n pop place and vibrant colors. Not to mention it was very clean when we walked in. That's a big plus + The staff here is awesome!!! They don't speak great English but we were able to order fairly easy. The menu is mostly Spanish with just enough English to order. Did I mention the staff??? They truly are very nice and friendly!! They brought some awesome chips out first. Loved that they were warm too. Good levels of spicy in their salsas. I got three tacos with pork, carne and chicken. They were scrumptious! Truly! The beans and rice were good too but the star of the show was the tacos. So much flavor and spice! My wife got the gorditas. She loved them. Equally impressive flavors. All this and it wasn't expensive either. read more

Tacos El Rinconcito - Gorditas - Mexican Near Me - Watauga, Texas

Ok so a few things. When I saw the reviews I was interested, especially since I wanted a good carne asada burro. The fresh tortillas helped! So they don't have a traditional carne asada burro (meat, pico, guac).. the meat was steak, and in the burrito was rice, beans, cheese, LETTUCE, tomatoes. At this point I was already there so I said "let's try it". Now one concern was what they considered a carne asada burrito, the second was the lettuce. I have a think about lettuce being somewhere I cannot see it and take it off my food. One concern is the freshness of the lettuce, what if it goes bad?... anywho.. back on track. The burrito was huge, the meat was good along with the beans and rice. However, the lettuce, tomatoes etc.. not so much. I expected more authentic Mexican cuisine. But it seemed like I got Chipotle. The tortilla was good! read more

Tacos El Rinconcito - From where I'm sitting - Mexican Near Me - Watauga, Texas

this place is more like a 3.5 out of 5 stars. this place is located right next to staples in the super target plaza. We ended up getting a torta and one quesadilla. They will give you chips along with 4 different types of salsas. My favorite one was the more milder green sauce. it went well with everything. The red and the other green sauce that has a more viscous texture were a bit spicy for me. The torta was huge, the picture below only shows 1/2 of it. I wasn't able to finish it and had to bring it home. We finished the quesadilla, and what made me laugh was that on the menu it mentioned that it came with a small side salad. But in the picture, you can see its simply tomato and lettuce with mexican sour cream. lol I don't know if it was us or the language barrier, but it was difficult to get a cup of water. our waitress kept saying glass bottle, which i assumed would imply buying a water bottle, but we kept insisting regular water would be fine. read more

The thin, soft, freshly made tortillas stole the show. Likely the best we have had. The shrimp taco had a nice amount of shrimp. The tamale was just ok. The carnitas taco was good but the pastor was hands down our favorite. The meat eas tender and the contrast with the pineapple was very good. The salsa and chips were good. The salsa was unique. A nice lunch spot with a vast menu. It was quiet when we were in for lunch. It was very clean and service was prompt. read more

Found a gem next to the Nail Salon today, we noticed they had just opened and decided to give it a go. So glad we did wasn't crowded at all which I hope changes soon, 12 or so tables available to sit with authentic Mexican menu which didn't disappoint Chivo available daily an Menudo on Sundays. The wife had Al pastor & Tripe tacos and I went with the Chivo tacos with carnitas gordita. The Homemade masa tortillas were spot on and we washed it all down with hibiscus water.Service was friendly and pleasant. This was a pleasant surprise for us and will be a definite go to in future. The price was reasonable and the value exceeded expectations. Only drawback was no dessert she did mention it would added soon. Appetizer was chips and salsa. Little skipy on the chips. 3 salsas Red, 2 Greens 1 Green a little spicy others provided flavor Ciltrano, Onion , and Lime served with meal. They have another location in Lewisville glad they expanded to this area. read more

One of my favorite places to go. Very cozy restaurant with a positive, cheerful vibe. The menu has a lot of great choices and I've been adventurous and tried several dishes and liked all of them. The service is always good. Once, our server noticed I left an earbud on the table and saved it. I noticed later I had lost it. Three weeks later, we came back to the restaurant again, and our server recognized me and brought me the earbud!!! How cool is that? read more

My husband and I were at Staples and saw this restaurant and decided to give it a try always looking for a good barbacoa taco. We both ordered the tacos with rice and beans. He also ordered the shrimp cocktail and we both had horchatas. Food was very good. Authentic. Excellent hot sauce with great flavor. Horchata was authentic, not the fake powder version. Staff was friendly and very accommodating. Would recommend. read more

Also got their Milanesa torta which is the best I've had and it was MASSIVE! Horchata was good and huarache was very good with the fajita meat! Definitely coming back and bringing others with me! read more

Such a chill vibe and great authentic Mexican food. I ordered the chicken enchiladas and loved that it came with rice and beans. No kids menu but still ordered a quesadilla for my child and it was huge but still very tasty. Husband ordered the Barbacoa and shrimp tacos but did not like that their shrimp tacos had peppers/onions in it, but I tasted it and loved it. They weren't too busy on a Sunday afternoon so service was pretty fast! read more

If you're looking for actual street tacos that are decently sized, this is the place! definitely can tell its a genuine taqueria, could feel the love and heritage poured into it. The decor was on point, and overall the service was really good. I ordered a few tacos (barbacoa and fajita) both meats were perfect. And a brisket quesadilla, which was pretty big and very good! Highly recommend the horchata as well! read more

The food isn't seasoned well enough. Our tacos with birria consommé wasn't very flavorful. The chicken quesadilla we ordered was big and stuffed well, but it was bland. The service was friendly, and the place looked clean, so I give this 3 stars. read more
