    Chili verde Breakfast Burritos
    Denise D.

    From sit down to stand up, a great dining experience!!! Our waitress was friendly and welcoming, engaged us in fun conversation, and took good care of our table! The food was excellent! We had a party of 5, and ordered a variety of foods. Veggie omelette, machaca, 2 tacos (asada & pastor) menudo & breakfast burrito & 2 street tacos. No complaints from anyone! I highly recommend El Rinconcito for any time of the day!

    I've been staying in the Coarsegold area since May and in search of my favorite Mexican restaurant. So far this is it! I ordered the taco salad and it was delicious. Jesus was my server and he did a great job. Service was fast and he was always checking on me. There are booths and tables and cerveza fria! There was a great selection to choose from. Chips and salsa were great too! I'll be back very soon!

    Working in Madera and got hungry- Yelp sent me the right way !! I can say good things about all : service , food , ambiance but it's just an understatement!! Jesus was great !! The food ?? How about HOME MADE TORTILLAS!!++ The salsa was fresh and so tasty .... anyway guys come here for some great food !!!

    Chili Colorado chimichanga half gone. Delicious!

    I saw the verde chili verde wet chimichanga on the menu and asked the waiter if they could do it with the chile colorado. The waiter told us yes and it was one of the best I have ever had. My wife had the taco salad and she l it was delicious and would order it again. I would definitely come here and order this same thing!

    Ordered the carne asada burrito and it was so big that I had a save half of it. It tasted great and was obviously fresh and hot. I came during the lunch rush and was still able to get my food pretty fast. There are TVs playing baseball and football which was nice to watch as I waited. I will definitely be back.

    Rice & Beans ain't looked so pretty

    We came to Madera today pretty suddenly ( our son was out here practicing robotics and dislocated his shoulder! We ended up trying to find a place for dinner on short notice and Yelp came to our rescue This place is right next to the gas station ( for the win - we had to top it off). It has a cozy homey feel and the hostess and the servers were super friendly. They started us off with the free salsa and chips which were delish ( we asked them to hit us with more spice and they happily obliged). I got the Chile Relleno which was alright ( honestly I have had better) BUT the home made corn tortillas and the chicken fajitas sealed the deal for us - if we are ever in Madera again we will definitely hit up this place. Cameron was one of the friendliest person and was so easy to talk to...we will be back!

    10/21/23 Getting breakfast for tomorrow! Ham breakfast burrito with egg whites & jalapeños added with hot sauce on the side ordered. The worker was kind and said it would be ready in 15 minutes. I went in to pick it up. Nice, little restaurant. Calm. Tv up on the wall. Lots of seating. Booths & tables. Safe & clean. Greeted and the order was almost ready. Paid for it & waited a little while before it was ready and the worker was happy to bag it along with good day wishes! 10/22/23 Happy sunday everyone! Breakfast burrito split. My half was REALLY DELICIOUS! Homemade flour tortilla, fresh jalapeños, tasty egg white & potatoes! Even better with their super hot salsa! I'm sure mother will feel the same when she gets up to have hers! Great service & Great breakfast burrito! Highly Recommended!

    First time here, Sis and family have been raving about this spot. I must say the staff are super friendly. I had a chance to interact with Jesus who was our waiter and Alex who was also working tonight, both were super friendly and attentive. Sis raved about the chimichanga but I got the burrito and soon regretted it. I ordered rice, beans and cheese with avocado inside. The burrito was okay but the contents were not hot and as I kept looking over at Sis and saw the steam coming from hers I was more and more disappointed. I was going to just accept it but Sis spoke up for me and Jesus was kind enough to bring me a chimichangas instead. This is the first spot I've come to that offers vegetarian chimichangas. I was pleased but one complaint is they do not have any mild salsa so I had to request pico de gallo. I also ordered the mini flautas (cheese) w/guacamole. Nothing major to write home about but the guac is DELISH! Bro-in~law ordered the green sauce carnitas enchiladas w/boiled beans and was very pleased. Overall the food was cool, maybe I need to try something else but the customer service is BOMB, ON POINT!!! Thank you Jesus and Alex.

    Chili verde omelette. Yum!

    OK, so my family and I have probably been here over a 30 times since we moved to Madera 5 years ago…read moreand we can honestly say that the food and service has finally disappointed us. Our reviews have always been 5 stars and we've always raved about this place so trust me when I say that our last visit we be the LAST. Our visit consisted of being ignored at the drive-through window as my husband was ordering our food. The lady with a beauty mark/mole on her cheek, was taking our order and walked away from us two or three times while my husband was ordering. This was the moment my husband knew we would not be back. Of course I am a devils advocate and I said well maybe they're really busy (or I don't know if anything really justifies leaving your customer mid sentence). It took us longer than usual to get our food. My husband's burrito was extremely poor made. I had mostly rice and not much of anything else. My sope was good so can't complain there, but the tacos were not it. The tortas aren't the same either. The taste is not the same as we loved and the service is horrible. I don't know if we will ever be back. We can get over hit or miss food (sometimes) but I can't get over her walking away while my husband was ordering. She did not say a single word to us and just walked away. If you don't care enough to respect your paying customers, then you do not deserve our service. Bueno, mi familia y yo hemos venido más de 30 veces desde que nos mudamos a Madera hace 5 años y podemos decir honestamente que la comida y el servicio finalmente nos han decepcionado. Nuestras reseñas siempre han sido de 5 estrellas y siempre hemos elogiado este lugar, así que créanme cuando digo que nuestra última visita será la ÚLTIMA. Nuestra visita consistió en que nos ignoraran en la ventanilla mientras mi esposo estaba pidiendo nuestra comida. La señora con un lunar en la mejilla estaba tomando nuestro pedido y se alejó de nosotros dos o tres veces mientras mi esposo ordenaba. Este fue el momento en que mi esposo supo que no volveríamos. Por supuesto, soy abogada del diablo y dije bueno, tal vez estén muy ocupados (o no sé si algo justifica realmente dejar a tu cliente a mitad de la frase). Tardamos más de lo habitual en recibir nuestra comida. El burrito de mi esposo estaba extremadamente mal hecho. El burrito tenía casi todo arroz y poco de lo demas. Mi sope estaba bueno, así que no me puedo quejar de eso, pero los tacos no eran lo mismo. Las tortas tampoco son lo mismo. El sabor ya no es el mismo que nos encantaba y el servicio es pésimo. No sé si volveremos. Podemos pasar por alto que la comida sea irregular (a veces), pero no puedo creer que se haya ido mientras mi marido hacía el pedido. No nos dirigió ni una palabra y simplemente se fue. Si no les importa lo suficiente como para respetar a sus clientes, entonces no merecen nuestro servicio. *notice the grilled onions in the taco picture, like Are you kidding me? And where are the taco toppings. My hubbys burrito with one piece of visible meat. This was the super BTW.

When I say the food came out fast, I mean FAST, especially for food this fresh. The wait staff was attentive, friendly, and checked in just enough without being overbearing. The aguachile was honestly one of the best I've had. The green sauce was incredibly flavorful, perfectly balanced, and everything tasted fresh and vibrant. The molcajete supreme did not disappoint. The sauce was rich and delicious, and the portion of carne and shrimp was generous and very satisfying. You can tell care goes into the food here.
