Reviews
Sep 2023 party of 6: Food felt good,tasted good with traditional hues. Had the flan it was alright but it was mexicos independence day so everything was perfect hehe.
One never understands how spoiled they are until they are removed from the source that enables it. Good and authentic Mexican cuisine is about everywhere in California and any state close to the border. So readily available from pop-up street stands to just about every hole in the wall that you just never even think about it...until you move away from it. It's been a repeated letdown since I got here a year ago with just about everywhere missing the point of how great Mexican cuisine actually is.
Here, this little spot spoke to me with one staple dish that I religiously consumed in California almost *every* Sunday afternoon. It's something I've always loved and the way my energy levels significantly elevate after a hearty bowl further drove the cravings. So yesterday, after not having menudo since my move to Massachusetts last year, I finally searched for the first legit place open for Sunday lunch and found Rincon Mexicano. I read a little bit on the background of the business and felt convinced of their authenticity. As always, a good practice back in California is to *CALL* first to make sure they are not sold out before showing up. So I called and was glad to hear that they still had good amounts of it (and found out later they served it ALL day, everyday - epic WIN).
While a little different from the spots I frequented in California, their flavors were still spot on with the few dishes I've tried so far. All I can say is that their menudo is reason enough for me to come back every week and I'd recommend them to anyone who asks me about Mexican cuisine in the area. Thank you all for the great food and fantastic service!
We wanted to try birria tacos and this restaurant kept on appearing as a good place to go. It did not disappoint. The taco orders come with 3 tacos and the birria dipping sauce. Birria tacos wasn't an option on the menu, but we ask about them and they happily obliged. They also serve 2 types of hot sauce on the side, which added to the flavor. We got beans and rice on the side as well. Great service, nice atmosphere and delicious food. We will definitely be back.
Great food. Tried the carne asada and pollo tacos. Both amazing and full of flavor with some good flavor meats
Lovely place to eat! The salsa has a great kick to its flavor and the chips came out warm. I ordered the mango smoothie. It is a MUST! So tasty! I follows up with a quesadilla that was smashing. It was a tough choice since the menu has so many good looking items. Stop by or take out from this place soon!
This place is a hole in the wall, don’t expect great service, may be I am generalizing. Our server was not the best, however there were others owner etc, who were polite and friendly.
This is a small restaurant, but had heard great things about their tacos and the tacos definitely don’t disappoint. Especially the cochinita pibil and the birria tacos are loaded on the taste front.
If you are looking for an authentic joint for tacos and don’t mind the decor or eating at a small joint, this is your place.
The cochinita pibil is a delicacy of the Mayan people from the Yucatán region, it is slow roasted pork dish. The one I had at Rincón was even better than the one I had around Chechen Itza. Must try.
I was also skeptical of the birria tacos as it is cows tongue, but was I wrong it was heavenly. Must try.
The tortas carnita and torta vegetables were below average, lacking on flavor.
If you want to try this place, go for the tacos, ignore the interior and enjoy your tacos.
AMAZING!!! I have had my fair share of Mexican food and I will say straight off the bat. This place was phenomenal!! The true taste of Mexican cuisine. The service was great as they had us seated immediately with a basket of tortillas and salsa. This was the first time my girlfriend and I have tried out this place and I promise you, it will not be the last. The food was cooked to perfection and the hospitality just made it sooo much better! Thank you for the great experience and I look forward to dining with you soon!!
Ordered online and food was ready within 15 mins around 5pm.
We got 3 tacos (pollo, carnitas, carne asada) and the enchiladas plate (chicken with mole). Tacos were decent, but the real star was the enchiladas. The mole and mexican cheese were so, so good. Would highly recommend this dish.
