    El Rinconcito.
    Mark P.

    El Rinconcito is not for those in a hurry. I suggest coming to this restaurant when you have time to kill, but if you do, I think you'll enjoy it. The atmosphere is relaxing and feels homely- it must be the pastel colored walls or the Mexican music coming from the jukebox in the bar, You may have to get a waitresses' attention (both times I went there was only one waitress on duty who also told me she was the cook and the bartender... this was at lunch time) but once you know what you want she'll bring you drinks and have your order up in no time. As for the food itself, it's pretty damn good. So far, I've had the carne asada and the burritos (be warned, these are American sized ones) and I wasn't disappointed. The asada also came with rice, beans, corn tortilla, and chips. Both were moderately priced, I never paid more than 12 dollars. Overall, if you're looking for a relaxed dining experience with a wide array of Latin American food choices then El Rinconcito (NOT El Rinconsito) fits the bill.

    a menu for a mexican restaurant

    Tiny place, was empty when I got there for an early dinner - which worked to my advantage because I was able to speak to the young lady behind the bar easier. I don't eat meant so she recommended a dish made of mixed seafood and rice with "coco" sauce. Was deelish and not too spendy. I've also attached updated photos of the menu because all I could find online (they don't have a website) were blurry.

    Came in on a rainy night and had Ms. Shirley as our waitress. Imagine your sweet grandmother serving you...she was very nice. Chips and salsa are complimentary. Also a jalapeño based (sour cream?) which is addictive! I found the salsa to have a sweetness to it that I really enjoyed. Ordered the stewed chicken which came with two corn tortillas, white rice, beans, a salad, avocado, and a block of queso fresco. All for $9. Mrs. Shirley also told us that everything on the menu was available all day...including breakfast! I thought the service was great and timely, and the food delicious and a great value.

    Bistec Encebollado, real good!!

    If you are in the area, check this place out!…read more We had a really fun meal here with our work crew and Russell. This dude knows how to have fun! The food was excellent, the service impeccable and many laughs! Russell took care of us, made some great recommendations for both food and drinks. They have great happy hours specials here and the food is really good. If you are close by, come by, enjoy the ambiance, have some great food and drink.

    When in New Orleans on my trip for my graduation from LSU, Johnny Sánchez was a must stop. If you…read moredon't already know walking in, Johnny Sánchez was founded by Aáron Sánchez of whom most know from MasterChef. I'm on a mission to eat at restaurants founded by all the judges and this was my second after Gordon Ramsey's Fish & Chips in NYC. There was so much on the menu that I wanted to order (here's looking at you - short rib birria), but I figure that I can always come back on a return trip and stuck to more traditional Mexican fare. My friends and I shared an order of the chips, salsa, and guacamole of which all three were heavenly. Don't even get me started on those fried plantain chips. I could munch on those for days. For my main course, I ordered a carne asada plate and had to have a Mexican Coke to accompany it all. There was no room for dessert, as much as I know it would have been delicious. I loved the decor and the big mural on the wall, too. Our server was wonderful and patient with us (maybe more with me due to my excitement). I'll definitely need to get back when I can enjoy a margarita while I'm at it.
