If you're craving authentic, melt-in-your-mouth tamales, Tamale Shack is an absolute gem on the…read moreGulf Coast! From the outside, this place might seem unassuming, but don't let appearances fool you--inside, it's tamale heaven. Each tamale is perfectly seasoned, packed with flavorful fillings, and wrapped in that soft, comforting masa that keeps you coming back for more. The staff is as warm and welcoming as the food itself, making you feel right at home with every visit. And the best part? They keep their prices reasonable without compromising quality. Tamale Shack is a must-visit for anyone who loves real, down-to-earth tamales. I forgot to take pics of the actual tamales cuz i ate them too fast

It was a good stop. It is located north of Railroad Street in an area you wouldn't stumble across accidentally unless you were going to ALDI. A good stop

Not really sure how to feel about this place!…read more On the one hand, the food was pretty good and well-seasoned. The steak, ground beef, AND shredded beef were all delicious and cooked perfectly. The rice and beans were flavorful, the cheese dip & salsa were spicy but not overly so, and the enchilada sauce was just okay. The chips were ALL burnt. We asked for more and the waitress said "oh, they're all like that." Why?? The thing I expect most when I go out for Mexican food is good chips! On the other hand, the service was WEIRD and not in a great way. First, despite there being about 15-20 empty booths/tables, they wouldn't seat us and made us wait. Then they seated other people (who didn't have reservations - I checked) at those same booths they wouldn't seat us at! Second, our waitress didn't listen very well as we were ordering. She brought us two margaritas instead of one, tried to bring carne asada instead of carnitas, and was overall not super friendly. Not a terrible waitress, but I've certainly had better. I also have to mention how stupid their kids menu policy is. I get not letting adults order from the kids menu (even if I don't personally think it's right) but 10 years old? Come on! I've NEVER been to a place where it was 10 and under. 12 and under for sure, but 11-year-olds are still children!! We didn't even have kids with us - it just made me so mad that I have to mention it. I don't think we'll be back here, despite the quality of the food. Just not my kind of place. But who knows!

First thing I noticed was the beautiful house that they remodel to look like a Mexican adobe type…read morehome, interior to match. We were greeted right away with chips and salsa and because we chose to sit at the bar, the bartender offered us a drink. We accepted and ordered a traditional margarita. I noticed the superior taste immediately and ask the bartender what made it so unique. She explained the owner made the mix recipe himself from all natural ingredients. The menu offered all our traditional favorites plus some not so traditional but with a Mexican flare. We ordered the garlic shrimp with rice and a garlic cream sauce. It was rich and creamy with some fresh corn mixed in. The shrimp was fresh and the flavors complemented each other superbly. We also had the home made tamales, pork and chicken with bean and rice. Very authentic and we were so glad we tried these. The free salsa and chips were excellent. We were impressed that the owner/chef came out to check on our approval of our experience there. We will definitely come back on our next visit to Gulf Port.

The restaurant is decorated nicely, has beautiful wood floors and Mexican music playing...just a nice ambiance. Jessica did a great job taking care of us and was very attentive and friendly.

Visiting Biloxi from NJ, SC and FL. Was craving great Mexican food and found El Rincón on Yelp. To…read moresay it did not disappoint is an understatement. We were immediately greeted by Oliver, whose positive attitude was just as addictive as the chips, salsa and black bean dip. His sense of humor had us rolling and he customized a delicious queso fundido for us with queso, shredded chicken and veggies that we have trademarked "Michaela." The Benjamin shrimp tacos were outstanding. As were the chicken street tacos. This is the best Mexican restaurant we have ever experienced and we are representing three states. Run...don't walk...to El Rincón and when you get there give Oliver a high five from us!!!

I was there dining in and did not get asked one time how I was doing, if I needed anything, nothing but I noticed they asked the other tables... that was weird. The chips and salsa... The salsa was liquid. It just taste like tomato had no other taste to it. I was so disappointed.. the chips were whatever nothing special. I got al pastor and shrimp tacos with rice and beans. Tacos were less than mid! the tortillas were super thick, it just was not up to par, personally. I tried Al Pastor, which had no flavor at all. They drench the tacos with toppings.. I guess to hide the fact that the meat is so bland. Unfortunately, it was the same thing with the shrimp tacos + the shrimp was chewy. Pretty expensive and not worth it. Would not go back for the food or service .... maybe for the drink specials tho

Not the food or atmosphere in the least but the service well sorry there is no other way to say it but it sucks. Not because it's busy still 2 servers and a manager but the server we got well needs some training or major help. Shouldn't be left on tables by herself. If this was my first visit I can't say I would be back. She has serviced the table next to us about 5 times in a row and NEVER once stopped by our booth literally right next to the other one. But because this isn't my first and I know better than believing this is the norm I will be back but if this server is mine again I will leave before I order.
