Food was absolutely amazing. Service was phenomenal and very friendly. Zapata is a great town and this restaurant is a must visit.

First time here. The service was great! I interacted with 3 employees and they were friendly and courteous. The complimentary soup was flavorful and ideal on a cool wet day. The star of their combo plate was the taco. It was meaty and flavorful. The taco shell was homemade and crispy. The enchilada appeared to be made with American cheese. Not my favorite cheese. The chicken fried steak was moist and tender. However, it was under seasoned. The meat and/or breading would definitely benefit from any seasoning. The gravy was also under seasoned so did not serve any purpose. The beans and rice were also good. read more

I came here after being referred by a friend. Upon arrival it appeared like a good place, with ample parking and a clean business front. The inside is aesthetically pleasing inside, and has obviously been remodeled in the last couple years. The menu is plentiful and offers daily specials. Service was alright, however, I found myself often needing refills. I was not there during a busy period, as there was maybe 5-6 other tables present. My meal arrived in a timely manner, but I did not find it to be anything to write home about. It was not terrible, just nothing mind blowing. I would possibly go back, due to the lack of too many options in the area. read more

Stopped in for lunch in Zapata. Was recommended by some friends that live here. Ordered the rib eye. Came with rice, beans, and French fries. Chips seemed store bought, salsa was spicy. Came with complimentary pasta shells in a tomato sauce base. Pretty tasty. Good menu with pictures of some of their plates, I always like that. Took a bit for food to arrive. Kind of important as it was lunch and I needed to get back. Ribeye had a lot of fat on one end, about 1/3 of the steak. Stake flavor was ok. Rice and beans were good but fries were soggy and seemed old. As it's not always good to get steak in a place known for its Mexican food, I will definitely give them a second try next time I am in town again and order some Mexican food. Had to update my review. Had the Tampaquena plate . Awesome! Everything-tasted great and fresh. A lot of food for $ 11. I will be back next month read more

We went and happened to be the only ones there on a Monday evening at about 7:30pm. There were only 2 waitresses, one of them came immediately to take our drink order and leave chips and salsa on the table. Salsa was just the right amount of spicy. I ordered the tacos Carretoneros and hubby had the chicken Panchos. Food didn't take more than 10-15 min. I actually loved the tacos and tried some of the Panchos which were also great. Only thing I would change is that I would add more tacos (it only came with 3) to the plate and do away with the rice and refried beans. I was very hungry tonight and 3 tacos just wasn't enough. Also, my favorite thing about eating Mexican Tacos is eating the charro beans that are usually served along side them. For me, refried beans and rice is unnecessary and I didn't even eat it. read more

We were driving through Zapata Texas and stopped to have lunch. The food was good. Our waiter was attentive to our wants.

Great food! Great drinks! Great atmosphere! The waitresses are beautiful and attentive. Lol. A little pricey but in a small town where choices are limited, at least the food is good. read more

Spot is a solid place in what is Zapata Texas. Slow boarder town that people love to retire in. The fajita nachos are excellent with great flavor on the beef! Try them with any plate! read more

Food is alright, service is great ambiance is loud. Big portions. I had chicken fried steak & the breading fell off.

Great service. Friendly atmosphere and really good food cooked with love and care! You won't regret it!

Absolutely the worst Mexican food I've ever eaten. Enchiladas were slimy, and there was torn up American cheese singles tossed all over the plate. It was disgusting and I'm positive it'll be even worse coming back up. read more

From the initial impression of checking this place out as "a little hole" in the wall to the end of lunch, Rincon was a deliciously good surprise all way through. Upon taking our order we received a little soup taster that was Spanish Fideo broth. Then delivered to our table the chips & salsa that had the right kick & was not over bearing hot. Ordered a panchos appetizer which had tasty fajitas sliced in good bite size pieces, and the cheese was melted just right on a bountiful platter. Last up was my Rincon special plate contains a cheesy fried steak, taco, enchiladas & rice and beans. All I can say is Just Delicious!! This place does not disappoint! read more

Ordered a Tincho and it was very well made. Customer service was great! We had a sampler plate and we truly enjoyed everything on there.

Poor staff & service. Was excited to eat here at first but once I got seated me and my date sat there for about 20-30 minutes with a menu and never even got my drink order taken waitresses just went around us and never attended our table. Even people who had just got seated after us got attended as soon as they had the menu in their hands. read more

I went to Zapata for the first time with a group of friends and went straight to El Rincon to eat. We got seated fast and the menu had everything you'd expect from a Tex-Mex restaurant. I was not expecting them to be famous for their country fried steak. We had the Panchos, Country Fried Steak, and Beef Enchiladas. My favorite part was the green salsa that was spicy and flavorful. Highly recommend this place if you find yourself in Zapata, Laredo or any other nearby city. read more

I come to the area fairly often for work. I am a pretty simple person when it comes to ordering. I love all kinds of foods, but on the border it can be hard to find food that is not "Mexican food" or healthy. At this restaurant it has a little of everything. I usually order the Salmon Steak with steamed vegetables. All of the waitresses and waiters are great, but one in particular is exemplary among her colleagues. She is always on her feet and seems to be completely dedicated to her service to others. With a solid memory she continuously amazes her guests asking about previous conversations she had with them from another time that I would have personally forgotten about. "The normal order with no carrots"? They already know and will continue to ask anyways just in case. Constantly checking on the guests well-being is a huge plus. I don't normally post reviews, but in this case I absolutely had to. Often times the wait staff is so busy that I don't have time to ask, but they somehow have the time to ask how the weekend went, kids, familly, or holidays. Since I have taken the time to post a response I also want to take the time to ask; how was your weekend, holiday, and/or how's your own familly? The food is great and the service is even better. Their are no words that could describe my appreciation of the service here, so from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU. read more

My boyfriend and I have gotten carry out from this restaurant three times now while in town and it has consistently been awesome! We've had the fajitas, tacos, enchiladas and quesadillas and everything has been excellent each time. Personally recommend the quesadillas with mixed chicken and fajita beef. Soooo good The restaurant also looked very clean inside and everyone was very friendly. read more

If you think this place is very hygienic, IT'S NOT! In order to use the restroom, you have to walk outside where the bathrooms are VERY dirty with dead roaches in them and to wash your hands, you have to walk back into the restaurant where the sink is. The restaurant looks broken down as if it is hanging by a thread. The trash bins are located right outside the restaurant and you might find a cat or dog or two hanging out right by it. The food is just the same as every other restaurant in Zapata. If the restaurant building looked better, maybe the food wouldn't taste as bad. But I would say that this is the last restaurant I would go to in Zapata. The service is horrible as well and food prices are way over the top! The waitresses and waiters have absolutely no manners, tattoos and piercings visible at all times, and the owners of the restaurant seem not to care about service even when they themselves are sitting down eating during business hours!!!! Very unprofessional. Needs major improvement, a new menu, new building, and new management!!! read more

I no longer live in Zapata but every time I come I make sure to eat at this establishment. The food is always great and they have such a wide variety in meals and beverages. So glad to see them in there new building can't wait for my next visit to see the best restaurant in Zapata. read more
