I have had multiple people tell me how much they liked this restaurant. Since COVID they added a covered outdoor section. We visited one weekend while it rained and it was packed, so much so that our only option was to sit outside in the rain. While they had several tables still free inside we were told they had reservations for those. I mention this because had I know reservations were an option we would have definitely made some. Often restaurants rarely accept reservations except for fine dining. And Greenfield does not really offer anything I would classify in that category. We sat outside and ordered. I ordered the only mole dish they offered and a margarita that I was clear when I stated I wanted nothing on the rim and nothing but a blended fruit margarita. What I got was the complete version of their drink with a sting salted rim that I simply do not like. At some point we were seated inside when a table came available. The mole dish was underwhelming. Not the best mole flavors I have had and maybe living in Los Angeles for so long spoiled me for good Mexican but to me it was not good Mexican. It was average. What caught me off guard was when they finally delivered the bill. Two adult meals with margeritas, and a toddler who was fed from our plates with an additional child drink plus tip came to nearly $100. As I stated, not exceptional mexican and based on Yelps feedback it's a $$ restaurant. I would disagree with that rating. I have eaten in Monterey at a fine dining restaurant, had much better food and my bill was comparable. I live local but I will not be returning. The price did not reflect the cuisine. Castros in King City would have been half the cost and twice the quality in flavor and portion. While I want to give less than a 3 star, my partner appreciated the food, but then again she was not the one paying. But out of respect for her I will give it 3 stars begrudgingly. read more

Service/Setting: Lovely, friendly staff with attentive and fast service. The kind of place that really makes you feel like part of the family. Dining area feels very homey Food: Some of the best and most authentic Mexican food I've had. Our family ordered a variety of dishes and were all universally wowed by the quality. All the flavors were balanced just right. Generously portioned too! Overall: Highly, highly recommended! I wish I lived in the area so I can visit it again easily read more

Thankfully everything nearby in Soledad was closed. So we drove to Greenfield and found our new favorite spot. Started with a perfect margarita with our chips & salsa. My girl ordered the flautus plate. I didn't bother looking at the menu, just asked for that gorgeous bowl of seafood I see people eating. The Siete Marre! Sweet shrimp, calamari, clams, oysters, white fish, crab leg, scallops and a savory broth I would've bathed in if possible! Great service too! Great prices! Thank you! read more

I wanted some really good authentic Mexican food and my friend suggested El Rinconcito. We arrived on a Saturday night around 6 PM and from the looks of it you could tell that it was packed. However, there were still tables available and we were sat down immediately. This place appears to be a well known local spot and many people like to gather and enjoy each other's company with good food and drinks. The table ordered the Carne asada plate, a plate of tacos gobernador, the camarones al mojo and the 2 sopes plate. I tried the asada plate and the sopes and everything was delicious. The rice and beans were very flavorful and well made that I know everything else is good when their basics are perfect. The prices are very affordable for both food and alcoholic drinks. The waiters were very attentive and came around various times to make sure everything was good. read more

El Rinconcito Restaurante y Cafe - 2 sopes plate- al pastor and carne asada - Mexican Near Me - Greenfield, California

After a full day of hiking we were hangry and everything was already closing around 8 pm . Luckily El Rinconcito saved us from our hunger pains. Decided to stick with tacos and some horchata. Seriously the tortillas were piping hot and you can tell it was freshly made. It was tender and chewy and although 4 tacos were a lot I kept eating because those tortillas were heavenly. My favorite was the carne asada. It was super flavorful and tender. I loved how they gave us grilled onions and jalapeños. The green sauce was also amazzzinnngg. And the horchata.....WOOOWWW. It was smooth , creamy with a hint of cinnamon. It had the perfect amount of sweetness, not soo sweet which was a plus. After that meal I felt super satisfied and refueled after hiking for 6 hours. Thanks El Rinconcito for amazing food and fast friendly service. read more

Was this place sold? Food had no flavor! Looked good, but was horrible. I asked for a chile rejeno? It wasn't melted!!! How??? Not microwaved enough? I asked for cheese enchilada, received chicken. Was replaced with a very bland cheese enchilada. I asked for no rice , just beans, got cold beans and rice. Look at the picture. So sad this place was great 3 years ago. read more

Really good! Got the biztec azteca and carne a la tampiquena. Beans and rice were perfect, not super greasy. Steak was seasoned well. Cactus salad delicious too. Salsa had fresh, not bland tomatoes. Was quite busy when we got their Sunday mid morning but only waited a short time to get a table on the patio. Definitely plan to come here again while traveling on the 101. One thing to note is they have music playing in the patio which might be loud for some but was perfect for us and entertaining our baby dancing and masking her random noises. read more

Food and Drinks were great! Service wasn't good, workers were very rude. Had to ask 4 times if I could sit anywhere or if I had to join a list. I was sent to the same lady twice to join a waitlist but would just stare at me and ignore me. Ambiance is good, had great music playing. read more

Stopped through Greenfield on the way home from a motorcycle camping trip. We were a little bit dusty and in need of a solid meal and something refreshing. Perused the menu, placed our order and Monica took care of us from there. Checked in to make sure we were enjoying our food and set us up with a round of margaritas that set us straight for the afternoon and willl prevent scurvy for a lifetime. Will be back! read more

My husband and I are driving to Santa Barbara and decided to stop in Greenfield for food and gas. The reviews looked good for El Rinconcito and they did not disappoint! On this cold day, my husband ordered the Caldo 7 Mares and I had the Caldo de Res. Both were perfect. Huge portions each with fresh, homemade tortillas on the side. Wonderful quality and the service was lovely and attentive. Very kind staff. Oh, and I had a delicious Modela Michelada, too. Garnished generously with shrimp, Chamoy, cucumbers and fruit in a Tajin-rimmed glass. Loved our entire meal here from start to finish. We will make sure to pass through here again on our next road trip! read more

El Rinconcito Restaurante y Cafe - Me and my Michelada (so good) - Mexican Near Me - Greenfield, California

Decent Mexican food off 101 in Greenfield between Salinas and King City. Plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, friendly service, extensive menu and reasonable prices. Complimentary cups and salsa arrived soon after we were seated. We ordered... * Tacos Birrias (3) - Shredded stewed beef with cheese in a lightly crisped corn tortilla, served with a consomme and green salsa. It was good, but not the best Birrias I've had. * Chicken Enchiladas with Green Salsa - It was decent, but a bit on the dry side. Would have liked it served with more salsa Verde. If you happen to be visiting the Scheid Winery Tasting Room nearby and need to grab some food, this is a pretty safe and convenient bet. read more

We enjoyed fast and friendly service. The chips and salsa were there almost instantly. The music was a bit loud but not terribly. The Paloma cocktail was not very strong but it was pretty and good in a Sprite forward way. The tacos were good but could have used a bit more spice. read more

Had a wonderful experience here - notably the service, but the food was also amazing. I wish I could remember our server's name, but she was a lovely young lady who really enjoyed her job there. I had the tacos birria and my husband had the chile relleno plus a few tacos. All of it was delicious! I think we'll be back for breakfast next! Thank you! read more

I love this place! Mexican food is delicious and everything was great. The service, the ambiance. I've been here twice and of course you get the Mexican feeling when entering, but you won't be disappointed with getting a well cooked meal. I got a mariscada tower (not sure of the actual name) it was a hot day and this was so good. The tower was only $20 all dishes are well priced and well served. Will come again! And definitely recommend. The ambiance and people are farm workers, families, children... everyone... doesn't matter who you are, this place is great. Go try some of their Mexican food and drinks! read more

Greats sea food. It's small but great food. I love there drinks . There fresh oysters are hard core if you know what I mean.

I forgot to say there was lots of food on. The plate. I could have had a half order and been happy.

I ordered enchiladas and unfortunately they're made with canned enchilada sauce not homemade no lettuce no cream on top just mozzarella cheese that's not a traditional dish .. service was great tho .. read more

What a great place. We stopped here on our way up Hwy 101 and enjoyed it so much. Hubby had the Bistec Ranchero and said it's the best he's ever tasted! I had the Shrimp Fajita burrito and it was very good. Nice place and staff. read more

The gobernador shrimp tacos were good! I would definitely recommend this place. Flautas good but not my favorites. VICTORIA our server was very warm pleasant and helpful. The ambiance nice. I love it. When we travel from L.A. to Monterey bay is hard for us to find a good place to eat. This will be our spot from mow on. They have the molcajete and would like to try. Also the piña colada! read more

Quick service salsa and chips good, Paloma was amazing, fish ceviche was ok. Carne tacos slim and ok. Margarita was the best thing.

Great ambience, wonderful service, and an enormous amount of food! Very tasty and traditional.

Food was tasty, fresh and service was excellent. I will definitely come back again when I'm in the area.

I'll start with the food is delicious... there is no host you gotta seat yourself, we didn't know this so we waited a while. There is a indoor outdoor option. It's a bit crowded, when we arrived it was pretty busy.. it don't seem that there is much organization with staff.. I gave it 5 stars because food is really good and our host was attentive.. Parking was decent. Prices are fair.. I'll add that they messed up my order and fixed it right away.. read more

Server didn't speak English so I knew it was going to be good food! I order chilaquiles(it was 11am) and aguachiles! I don't think I have ever had as good of either before in my life!

We arrived to the restaurant, put our names on the list. The girl in the front told us a 30min, after waiting for almost an hour I go ask how much longer? Then they let us know another hour. The waitress was so rude giving me attitude which was so unnecessary. Be kind, don't promise a time you can't keep. We were really looking forward to this place but never again! No customer service what so ever! read more
