Both ordered delivery and eaten in many times. Awesome food, great service, only issues were with third party delivery drivers forgetting items in the past, which isn't their fault. read more

Hate to do this, but I just ordered delivery the carnitas plate. The rice and beans have no flavor at all.... the pork is delicious, I have ordered this before with no problem, but today half my meal just isn't good enough enjoy. I fell that a Mexican restaurant should know how beans and rice should taste. read more

Some of the best service I have ever had in Boulder. Nicest staff, great food and drinks. Went to get a margarita and it was phenomenal as well as all the food that we had. Everyone in my group really enjoyed it and will definitely be coming back time and time again. read more

Worst Mexican food and margaritas I've had in Boulder. Been here twice. Will not return. Make the trip and go to Efrains. Even the Rio is better than this place. Nice staff. Awful food and drinks. read more

The chicken quesadilla is the best chicken quesadilla I've ever had. That and the guacamole and rice? Amazing. I wish there was a Rincon Del Sol where I live because it seriously was just that good. Chips and salsa were not the best, but everything else was amazing. Highly recommend! read more

Gross. Happy hour prices are spot on but the food is bland and not worth the price cut. I'd rather spend 3X the amount I paid than go back to Ricon del Sol. read more

Great little Mexican restaurant! Was looking for some Mexican food during the stay-at-home orders and came across Rincon Del Sol. Had never eaten there before. Fajitas and Chimichangas were delicious with plenty of food for leftovers. Picked up the food at the restaurant and the service was great. Looking forward to dining inside and enjoying the great dining atmosphere once places start to open up again. Will definitely be going back! read more

Very affordable options and tasty food. They have dinner combination options: one choice plus rice and beans for 8.99, two choices plus rice and beans 10.99. Also they have three different options for beans. Salsa was fairly plain, but food was great. read more

I have been eating here for over 3 years and have always had good food and service. Their Molcajete De Carne is our favorite. The sauce is very flavorful and the meat abundant. It is more than the two of us can eat and for only $17.99 it is a great deal, I have seen this dish at other restaurants for $34. The salsa is good and 2 for 1 margaritas go down well. The staff has always been friendly and kind. read more

Love this place! Chips salsa and bean dip at table for free. Ive had the sangria which is really good and the classic margaritas which i think is best around, at least in Boulder. Food is way above average but I like it a little spicier. Mocajete is just right, though. Ask for Froy, the new manager, who brought out chili sauce as soon as I asked and seems like he is striving to please. Would strongly recommend! read more

One of the best Mexican style restaurants I've ever been to. Food was perfect and obviously fresh and our server Asa went out of his way to accommodate us. We are guest for life now, I won't go to another Mexican restaurant in Boulder now. Oh, don't forget daily happy hour 2-6pm, awesome deals. Thanks for the great food and service. read more

Rincon is great. Good food, super friendly staff, and happy to accommodate and size group, kids, adults for happy hour, whatever. I am grateful for their consistently good food and kind service. read more

I have passed by this place so many time and FINALLY decided to dine here. Walking in, the restaurant was way bigger than I thought it was going to be, they have ample seating and two big rooms. I was pleasantly surprised that they have two for one margaritas during happy hour. Although they weren't as good as some of the other margaritas I've tried, they were still pretty good and not overpriced. For my meal I ordered the deluxe burrito with shredded chicken smothered in green chili. When I took my first bite I was blown away. It was one of the best burritos I've had in a long, long time. It was flavorful and the chicken was nice and tender. The burrito itself was pretty big too, they certainly don't skimp out on the portions. I ate every bite. I would definitely suggest this place if you're craving some delicious mexican food. I certainly will be back. read more

Spot was on the money. After reading numerous reviews, ranging from the worst to the best I give it a solid 4 stars. The service was great other than the fact that our server spoke little to no English. Drinks came out fast and before we knew it so did our dinners. Meats were seasoned well and everything tasted pretty good, other than the weak rice that accompanied the plates. Will have to go back again. read more

Wow, I wish I could rate Rincon Del Sol zero stars. The food was delicious. However, the service was atrocious to Hispanic customers. My father and his coworkers had heard about this restaurant and were looking forward to eat there. My fathers coworker ordered a margarita because they saw that other customers had ordered it and it looked delicious, keep in mind that the other customers had a GLASS with the salt rim and everything that a classic margarita entails of. My fathers coworker received their margarita in a PLASTIC cup. So they call over the waiter and they ask why do the other customers receive a glass and they receive plastic. The waiter explained that they ran out of glasses, saying that "CU Boulder students come in to eat there and take their glasses home." After that, they understood and everything was fine because it's not their fault that the glasses ran out or were stolen. Until, other customers came in, ordered the same margaritas, and they had their margaritas served in A GLASS, with the salt rim and everything! The service my father and his coworkers had to deal with was discriminatory and racist. I do not suggest eating here if you are a person of color (seeing as that is what my dad experienced), this restaurant will make you feel less than all the customers there. read more

This has become my go-to Mexican restaurant. It's not the best Mexican food in the entire world but it is convenient, reasonable priced, great service, and good food. There's never a wait, the staff is friendly, they give you warm chips and delicious salsa right away, the menu has a ton of choices. I'm never disappointed when I come here. It's a shame it doesn't get better reviews. Everyone is Boulder is all about Efrain's but Del Sol has way better service, shorter wait times, and just as good if not better food (definitely more menu options). Seriously, give this place a chance. I really love it here. read more

OMG. Came here so hungover and immediately we were served beer. Great. And then we got some water and the dankest chips and salsa. So good so far. Got the carnitas. #blessed. ABSOLUTELY WOULD RECOMMEND. Hangover is gone. read more

Usually this place does better. I just ordered delivery on the premise of a free nachos plate for an order over 20 bucks. I wouldn't have spent that much otherwise. Delivery was quicker than advertised which was a welcome surprise. However I got no free nachos, just some cheese sauce, which is a pretty balsy bait and switch. Also did not receive fried jalapeños that I ordered. Probably will never order from here again. Especially when there are plenty of other Mexican places to choose from that are just as good food quality wise, but will stand behind their advertising and actually deliver the food I ordered. read more

I guess Boulder's standards for Mexican food are pretty low. This place was disappointing... and not cheap. I had chile rellenos and an enchilada. Enchilada was bland, rice and beans sub par, rellenos were mediocre. Not really too much flavor going on. And best chips and salsa? Well that honor goes to La Choza on 30th and Arapahoe, not this place! The only redeeming part about spending 19 bucks on my meal was the cheap margaritas, but that's not nearly good enough to lure me back. read more

Do not go here! This is the worst Mexican food I've ever had, including Mexican restaurants I grew up going to in West Virginia, where Mexican cooks are few and far between! I had an Enchilada meal that had absolutely no flavor at all. I woke up in the middle of the night with the taste of their house tequila still threatening me to make me ill. I'd opt for a frozen Amy's enchilada meal from King Sooper's any day over this place! read more

Had lunch at Rincon Del Sol today for the first time and was blown away. My friend and I had the molcajete carne which serves two. This authentic, spicy and savory dish came with perfectly grilled carne asada, chorizo and chicken. It was served with fire roasted jalapeños, grilled nopales and green onions with thick slices of queso fresco in a delicious warm salsa verde. The complimentary chips and salsa are homemade and fantastic! The service was friendly and I love the vibrant colors of the restaurant. read more

Perfect location for a pre game for buff games. Food decent and pretty good happy hour. The nachos were pretty good. Much more filling then they look. It's roughly $8 for the nachos and you can easily share with another person. 10 minute walk to stadium! If you get there early enough you can park your car there and save on parking, but you need to be a 2 hours early or it'll be full. Will return! read more

First taste of Mexican in the US. It did not blow me away as I had expected it to. Probably this is what happens to ethnic foods in different countries - their taste is molded to suit the local population and I wanted the food to be spicy, which it wasn't. But, full marks for the service - friendly and super quick. Food portions were nice as well. Lot of options on the menu and since my knowledge of Mexican is limited to burritos, fajitas and tacos - I was quite happy. read more

If you want average Mexican food with average margaritas, this is the place. Not bad, just very average. No waiting and plenty of free parking, though. Oh yeah, really bad bright lighting in the back section. You should sit in the front section. read more

My friend in Colorado insisted that Rincon Del Sol was some of the best Mexican food she's ever had. As a San Francisco, I was certainly skeptical. However, I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised when we grabbed a bite there last weekend on my visit. Walking into the restaurant, it was packed for the big CU/Oregon game (already a good sign). Even though it was really busy, we were greeted right away and seated in a booth at by the bar. Immediately, we ordered margaritas. TIP: get the house margarita. It's much better than the "Skinny" margarita and a great bang for your buck. I love sitting down at a restaurant and immediately getting food. This place pretty much won me over with endless chips salsa and bean dip! Both dips had the perfect balance of spice. I ordered a lot. The Chicken Tortilla Soup and the Camarones de Casa (House Shrimp). The chicken soup surprised me. It tasted homemade with healthy doses of avocado and chicken. The Camarones de Casa blew me away! I was already full from my giant bowl of soup (and bean dip), but managed to pretty much clean my plate. If you're a mushroom fan, this dish is for you. Overall, the restaurant has a cozy family feel that's reflected in the environment and in the food itself. If you're heading to Boulder, swing by this gem, grab a (massive and strong) margarita and enjoy!!! read more

I'm surprised the average review isn't better for rincon. I go here for the fajita burrito. Very big. Steak is tender and chicken is fine also. read more

There's no cars in the lot for a reason. No you didn't just stumble upon Boulder's best kept Mexican secret. The chips and salsa likely will be the best part of your meal. And for the love of God stay away from the house margs (for 7 bucks, what?!), glorified water and sour mix, just stick with a dos equis from their tap instead and thank me later. read more

Overall, it wasn't a great experience. After finding this on Yelp and seeing mixed reviews, I figured it was worth a try. Upon arriving, the staff were slow to get me seated. There was no one at the front desk and instead the servers stood near the bar talking (which turned out to be a common theme throughout my experience). After being seated, the first server seemed friendly, but then told us how she was tired from working 2 jobs. This was irrelevant to our meal and didn't make it seem like the restaurant treated their staff well. The first server was then followed by another server that didn't speak good English so she called yet another server who finally took our order. The menu was very confusing, especially the combo dishes which didn't clearly state what options were available. A better system would have step-by-step options on the menu. I ordered a soup and a combo option. I assumed, like most restaurants, that the soup would be brought out first. Instead, both dishes were brought out at the same time. Not a huge deal, but one got cold while the other was consumed. The food was actually not bad, so there's that. But the service remained subpar throughout the meal. The server never checked on how things were; the staff stood around talking and reading a newspaper and it was difficult to get a servers attention. When I did, they seemed perturbed and not particularly pleased to help. I also had to remind the sever a number of times to get more water, napkins, etc. Overall, I'd say it would be good food to go or a nice place to stop for a quick lunch. But the underwhelming service experience and atmosphere doesn't make for a superb dining experience. read more

The food here, the service and place itself are excellent. At this price point it's impossible to find food better more unique, or original than this. Plus, it's especially good to know that this is not a chain. So many of them are overrunning Boulder. The staff goes out of its way to serve you with a smile and make sure that you leave full and happy read more

After coming to Rincon del Sol for a few years as a satisfied customer, my opinions unfortunately plummeted tonight. They seem to have changed management recently, and I was thoroughly disappointed. We had to wait 20 minutes before we could ask a waiter to take our drink order (no one asked us). They didn't have the drinks that we had ordered from the menu, so we chose something else. At least another 20 minutes before we got our drinks. Finally our waitress took our order: a tostada a la carte, quesadillas with chicken, chicken flautas, and a Don burrito. The tostada was served (and charged) as a meal instead of a la carte. The chicken quesadillas were soggy, floppy, with undercooked chicken- unedible. And instead of a Don burrito with pork (normally filled with a lot of meat and veggies with rice and beans on the side), our friend got a bean burrito with pork sprinkles and pork green chile added (and added to the bill). We had to talk to the waitress about three times before she understood and agreed to bring out the correct dish. And even then, our friend's pork was terribly dry. The flautas were the only thing dish that was up to par. Then we tried to give them a few coupons which had said "limit one per customer" (not "one per party" or "one per table"). They would not honor more than one coupon, nor did they make any offer to reduce the bill in any way after we told them that the quesdillas were inedible and that we had gotten the wrong burrito originally. Also, they have children (7-12 years old?) bussing tables and cleaning. Very nice kids, but... child labor laws? AND- we saw a server drop a napkin-wrapped silverware set on the floor and still place it at a table. GROSS. The waitress was nice, but did not understand English well enough to take our orders properly it seemed? I am very sorry to see this place slip into such a state of awful service and terrible food. We sadly will never be returning. read more

I have been to Rincon Del Sol several times now. Each time I go I wonder why I don't go more often. The food is always good. The service is good and they have plenty of parking which is a plus for me. They have very good appetizers and drink specials at happy hour. I read more

Wow, from all the reviews here you'd think people went to different restaurants. From my experience, it's consistently good. If you're in for run of the mill Mexican (i.e. burritos, flautas, etc...), they do a nice job, but what you should really try is their authentic Mexican dishes, like the mole or speciality taco dish with the chicken or pork. Those are what are really well that make them better than a lot of other Mexican restaurants. I do love the salsa and bean dip, as other people mentioned, which I scarf down every time. And the Margaritas are two thumbs up definitely. Actually I tried the Pina Colada a few weeks ago and that was awesomely creamy delicious. So, if you want some really good authentic Mexican, go beyond the burrito menu and be adventurous with the speciality stuff - that's my recommendation for the yummiest you can find better than the other joints around. read more

I'm a fan of their vege burrito, drink deals, and service. The vegetarian section isn't big, but damn they have a good vege burrito! And they are very nice about making substitutions so you can get it vegan. And I think it's the tastiest one around! I can usually only eat half of it in one sitting. One warning: don't eat the bean dip they bring with the chips if you're veg - it has pork. They also have a wicked happy hour with 2 for 1 margs. Don't drive cause you'll probably get drunk. I've always had great service here - friendly and funny people - which sets a good environment. read more

Molcajete de Carne was so good! Meat was tender, chile had good flavor. Really enjoyed our meal. On the spicy side which we really like.

Used to love this restaurant went last night and it was disgusting. Waters took around a half hour to get to the table the queso appetizer we ordered was cold. I ordered fajitas they were not served sizzling and were cold plus the shrimp tasted like plastic. My friend ordered a combination platter 2 of his items were supposed to have beef but both had cheese. Also we both felt very sick after our meals. Do not come here!!!! read more

I ate here for the first time last night. While it certainly isn't the Ritz of Mexican cuisine, I was still very satisfied. The salsa had a good amount of kick in it; I like my salsa spicier than a salsa fresca. And the bean dip was a great compliment (even if I'm more of a black bean kind of girl). I have to admit, I kind of felt like I was tripping on acid while looking at the menu. So many choices, way too many graphics, oh, so hard to decide on something interesting. I finally decided on a quesadilla off the appetizer menu with shredded beef and cactus, just because I knew I'd like it. I'm glad I did, because it was just enough for me to handle (they seriously consider something that huge an appetizer?). One reason I will rave about this place is that the margaritas are amazing! These are no sissy margaritas; the smallest you can get is a 16 oz. While they are a little bit pricey, they're very stiff and large, just how I like it! I may come back for Happy Hour sometime. Wait, I'll definitely come back for Happy Hour if they have $10 pitchers!!! The staff was very nice and courteous. Maybe they came over to our table a couple too many times, but that was ok; I appreciated the service regardless. I'm probably one of the few gringo's who likes AUTHENTIC Mexican food; Tex-Mex and Taco Bell don't cut it for me. Rincon Del Sol definitely makes my cut! read more

I didn't like the first couple bites of my burrito because I thought it tasted funny. After a couple more bites, though, I was very happy. The portions are huge and the prices are pretty good. The fajita burrito that the gf was probably a little better than my carne asada one. read more

SO yummy! I just ordered the shrimp fajitas from hungrybuffs and they're some of the best I've ever had. will definitely be stopping by this place to dine in soon--lots of unique menu options I want to try. read more

Great food, friendly service :) i decided to go vegetarian tonight and had a combo platter with a cheese enchilada and a grilled vegetable taco, both were great. Also I ordered guacamole and (as I was by myself) the server offered to get me a smaller portion than was on the menu :) I had an original margarita which had a strong taste for me but it was alright. Also the prices were very good. I'd definitely come here again :) yelp says my review is slinky average length, but I said everything I had to say... how long does it have to be??!!! lol read more

This place has awesome Mexican food. I'm visiting from California and this restaurant has been my favorite so far. The margaritas are the perfect size and they are very strong yet tasty. The service also was very excellent. Waitresses were very friendly and respectful. I would definitely recommend this place! read more
