It seems to be hard to come by Mexican food in Key West. There wasn't really that many spots and the ones that are there are good but they just don't have the magic that the Mexican spots in Cali do. Keeping in mind that I walked in with Cali standards I would give it a 3/5, but for Florida I think the 4/5 is fair. It was solid food just wouldn't necessarily seek this place out again if I were to find myself in Key West. As a Mexican myself maybe I'm being a bit harsh on the food but I will say the service was good. read more

Pretty tasty Mexican food a little outside of downtown Key West. The homemade chips with guacamole were great - not too much salt and a delicious crunch. The chicken quesadilla was also pretty good - I really like that there were also onions and peppers mixed in, in addition to the cheese and chicken. Would've loved a little more guacamole on the side with it, but glad it came with some! read more

Hidden Mexican gem! This spot is delicious and great service. I got the Birria tacos, Esquites (corn) and horchata to drink. The server was very friendly with me and was always checking in. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area! read more

This place has the most amazing food. It's really small - just a few tables - and it's tucked into a Winn-Dixie strip center. The line of folk getting to-go orders sort of surrounds you when you're sitting at a table. The servers are friendly, but the kitchen is very slow. Then there's the food. It's just amazing. I had a dish called alambre, which I had never heard of. It's a meat mixed with vegetables and chorizo, covered in cheese and served like fajitas. So good. Wayne had a chimichanga and really like it too. It was so worth the wait! read more

Everything was great! We had chicken tacos, beans rice and birria tacos The chips and salsa were great read more

EL Rinconcito Mexican - It was really good we ate everything before we could get a photo - Mexican Near Me - Key West, Florida

Service is amazing first off! The shrimp cocktail is so rich with flavor and light at the same time. Their ceviche is so vibrant and packed with fresh flavor. Their portions are great so come hungry and leave full with leftovers. The beef rib soup special on Saturdays is a massive portion of perfect flavor but also lightness that keeps you thinking you can finish it all. Get it to share with one of their amazing apps. read more

Service was friendly and efficient. We ordered the enchilada special. The food was reasonably priced and tasty. I would have given four stars except the enchiladas were served warm not hot as in every other Mexican restaurant. read more

The food is delicious. The order flow is chaos and there's no rhyme or reason as to who gets their orders when. It's really a shame because THE FOOD IS GOOD. Best way to kill business is to prioritize take out orders over in house diners. :( Hope they can find a solution and get things under control. read more

Love this place! I come here often. Everything is good. The tres leches cake is the best! read more

Very authentic Mexican food. The birria tacos are so good! Service is good, fast and efficient. I love this place!

Good food, helpful staff, and a place you can find Coca Cola products. This place is small but worth the stop in.

This hole in the wall in a strip mall has 9 tables. When you first walk in you kind of want to walk out, but don't.... But appearances can be deceiving because the food was AMAZING! The service is a bit slow but they are attentive if you request something. Had leftovers the next day which were still amazing. I've been to high end restaurants where the food was not as good. Close your eyes when you go in, smell the authenticity and enjoy the taste of your food because nothing else matters. read more

If you are trying to find delicious, authentic Mexican cuisine then this is your spot! Everything we had was delicious and flavorful. The salsa might have been the best I've ever had.. so fresh! My wife had a burrito and she looked like she was about to cry because of how good it tasted. I went with the birria tacos based on other reviews and it was phenomenal. Next time, I'm trying the fajitas! Finally, my wife got a slice of tres leches cake to go and I might just get lucky tonight with how happy she is feeling after eating it. El Rinconcito has a mom and pop feel and the friendly staff is sure to make you feel welcome to keep coming back time and time again. Thank you for the tasty food! We will be back read more

Best pastor tacos in town. I love this place! Great for take out or sit down. Good pricing and tasty food. Couldn't get a picture we ate it all so quick. Will definitely be back. Friendly service and Mexican vibes . read more

We waited 50 minutes for to go ordering. It was so packed they told us to wait outside, but it became too hot to do that. The food sucks! This is not how Mexican food tastes. The rice was basically white rice in broth, no flavor. Beans are flavorless. The corn tortillas for the enchiladas are hard. There was barely any cheese, and what's up with orange sauce on enchiladas? That is not how you make them. Regret coming here. read more

Popped in for a quick dinner after a long day in the sun and was not disappointed. The Birria tacos were fantastic. I definitely recommend them. Got a side of rice and beans to go with it and they also hit the spot. Portions were well sized and the whole staff was super friendly. Space is a bit small but don't walk out the door. The food more than makes up for it. Lots of to go orders went out the door while I was there. If you are in the area please stop by, you won't be disappointed read more

Amazing food. Delicious made with love. Service is great. Love the homemade food so happy we finally have good Mexican food.

This place is a hidden GEM!! Legit Mexican food.

I couldn't leave without trying their homemade flan and it did not disappoint. So glad we came here.

El Rinconcito is absolutely delicious. Everything I've tried is great. Staff is super nice and the prices are not bad either.

Birria tacos were fantastic, in house hot sauce was very flavorful. The Jamaica hibiscus tea was to die for, refreshing and a perfect mix of tart and sweet. Staff was very friendly. Restaurant is smaller if you dine in but they do takeout and delivery as well! read more
