    Loaded queso
    Tanera J.

    Finally got around to try this cute place in my neighborhood. Actually went on a lil date here. Sat at the bar and ordered a frozen margarita since it was $5 for happy hour. I also ordered the Birria tacos. The margarita was pretty good. Just a frozen house margarita. I could've probably drank like 3 of them but I wasn't trying to do too much lol The birria tacos are pretty good. I like that they are actually crispy. They had plenty of birria meat inside and cheese and I love that they put the onions and cilantro on the side with some lime wedges. Their consume was a bit more greasy than some other places I've had but it had good flavor and a small hint of spice so I liked that. I will definitely order them again. We also got some of the loaded queso and it was delicious! I liked that they didn't skimp on the meat or toppings. I think I will definitely make this more of a regular place for me to just grab a good drink and a quick bite since it's right in my neighborhood. The bartender was very nice too and attentive so I appreciated that because the bar was full!

    Food was very good, we went for lunch and the portions are huge! Good service over all would recommend. Poblano Tilapia had pickled veggies delicious!

    I want to preface this review with I'm not a proponent of leaving negative reviews or someone who has 1 bad experience and wants to take it to the internet, but I've been a loyal regular since the 1st month Rincon opened and an Addison Circle resident who wants this place to succeed. However, enough is enough; management needs an overhaul. They have failed to properly hold their employees to a standard. I shouldn't have to go find my own silverware on a daily basis, or constantly flag down staff to bring chips & salsa. Glass of water? Forget it. These instances happen when there's literally just 5 tables in the whole restaurant! (Take a clue from Blue Goose, that place is constantly slammed but you still get great service; employees know how to hustle). Service is painfully slow. The food portions have drastically gotten smaller but what's even worse, quality has diminished. Notice the photos- the guac was brown and the nachos were the saddest plate of nachos I've ever seen. A handful of the staff constantly acts like I, the customer, is a bother and inconvenience to them. The amount of attitude received here is unacceptable. How dare I politely ask for service. Patio TV has been broken 2+ yrs, you can buy new one right now for under $150, why hasn't this been fixed? The list goes on & on. I'm starting to feel that us regulars are condoning bad behavior because we continue to support the business. Regulars keep this place afloat and yet we're treated the worst. Again, I want them to succeed but ownership needs to know how downhill things are becoming!

    El rincón is one of the best restaurants I've been to. The managers truly care, the servers are always great and the kitchen, and the bartenders. Even though they get really busy they really make the effort. It's hard right now on all restaurants so I appreciate them trying their best even when something is out, very accommodating. The food is good too! The brisket tacos, birria, elote... been there a few times already and see the same people and customers, though the customers are sometimes mean to staff they always have a smile on their face and give one to their other tables. Will be back!

    I know it was a busy day but there's no excuse to what happened yesterday. From the moment we sat down to a sticky table to not having utensils, having to ask for them, then getting plasticware when everyone else around us had real forks, knives and cloth napkins to receiving room temp water and "iced tea" with no ice and finally feeling like we were being rushed so we inhaled our food. Again, I know it was a busy night, but there were empty tables around us so I know is not like they were packed. If the food had been delicious, I would have been cool with it, but not even that. I am so disappointed.

    I loved the environment! The Mexican decor is cute and very colorful. The staff was super friendly and attentive. The menu did provide your go to Mexican cuisine and in my case I had to try out the pollo zucchini salad which they had I believe a cilantro dressing which was so delicious. The chips and salsa was provided as a great starter. If your like me, I love a good tortilla chip which hasn't been fried in house. Which these aren't, as for the salsa I would have like a little more kick to it but it was still good. The house margarita was awesome and defiantly held its own. They have an affordable menu that offers lunch specials & a proper happy hour 3-7.

    The reviews here honestly surprise me as this is one of my favorite spots in Addison Circle. The outdoor patio is right across from the park and is a great spot to chill & enjoy some drinks with dinner. Speaking of drinks, the margarita with a side of sipping tequila is one of my favorites. I will 100% be returning.

    11/19/22: This was our second visit. This time we had dinner. We had the brisket tacos and a sampler platter. The food was well prepared, hot, and was nicely presented. The tacos were pretty big, and that sampler platter was shareable. We chatted with Harry, the manager and Jom was a great host and bartender. They made us feel like regulars, and we like the laid back atmosphere and large selection of tequilas.

    Been coming to El Rincon since moving to Addison almost a year ago. I've had a wonderful experience every time! The staff is always so wonderful and kind. The margaritas and food are amazing! Love their happy hour.

    The service here is ALWAYS on point! Crazy the amt of times we've been here and I haven't done a…read morereview! It's hard to get reservations same day, so it's best that you do it at least a day ahead and they get booked up quick! This trip we got all different entrees, everything is great here! But I will say that you HAVE to get the table side guac service! They put BACON in it and always bring a couple bucks to give to the nice attendant for preparing your fresh guac Some of my other favorites are the sopes, the carne asada and tacos are never a miss. I will say this time around we were disappointed with the shrimp tacos, it was 4 tiny tacos with 1 shrimp per taco :-/ so maybe try it if you don't have the same appetite of a 15yo growing teenage boy lol Restaurant of course is very nice and always clean. Parking gets tricky, but there's valet if you're not the walking type ;) Ps. Drinks are phenomenal. Their prickly pear Margs is an absolute go-to!

    Extremely disappointing experience at Mia Dia in Plano. Our group was diverse, and the overall…read moreservice and handling of our table were unacceptable. The vegetarian options were also very limited, with only about three dishes on the entire menu. My vegetarian enchiladas were served incorrectly twice, first with meat sauce, then with an entirely wrong preparation. It took three attempts and manager involvement to correct a basic order. By that point, I had lost my appetite. Service throughout the meal was poor. We had to request water three separate times, which reflects a lack of attentiveness. The most concerning issue was being charged $1.50 for pico de gallo that was provided while correcting their own mistake, despite being told it would be taken care of. This reflects a clear lack of professionalism, accountability, and customer care. I will not be returning and cannot recommend this restaurant.
