Food is amazing here! I had the 5 rolled tacos and a surf and turf burrito. I highly recommend this place if you want delicious Mexican food. The service is great and staff is friendly. 10/10 would recommend and come again read more

I had some beef rolled tacos from this taco shop. They were tasty but quite small and lacking shredded beef to call them great rolled tacos. The rolled tortillas had a good crispiness. The guacamole was very good and offered good flavor and a nice texture. They rolled tacos with a good amount of shredded cheese and a touch of pico de gallo. The house red hot sauce was very good. The hospitality was friendly enough. They offer some inside seating. They offer a large menu. There's plenty of parking. read more

A 3.5 star, I good little Taco Shop in the southbay. A few items I really like here, one is their California Burrito, in-fact it's in my Top 3 of Cali Burritos in SD. It's a good size comes with guac already you don't have to add it & pay more & it's only $13.99. Now it's a bit greasy but if you a real Mexican you like that it gives it extra flavor so just get extra napkins Nada Pasa you'll be ok. I love their Carne Asada meat in it, it's charcoaled real good, so yes I like their Carne Asada Taco as well very flavorful. The other taco I liked here was the Cabeza taco, the Adobada & carnitas was mid tho but portions are good. The Roll Tacos were ok & customer service was cool & prices were good. Overall it's a good little Taco Shop that has a few good items I like with good prices & good salsas if you like spice the Habanero one is for you. Try them out, as I will again just make sure you get extra napkins :) read more

Really good carne asada. I like the mini tacos and the carne asada tortas. The tortas are always good, and they come with beans but you can order them without. The guacamole is good. The green salsa is great. Overall good place to get some Mexican food. They also have good portions and the Jamaica is just sweet enough without overpowering the hibiscus. read more

This place was absolutely fire! Breakfast burrito was amazing. It had eggs, bacon, sausage, potatoes, and cheese. The gentleman working the counter was so nice too. He hooked me up with some great hot sauce. Highly recommend this place if you're in the area! I definitely plan on coming back. read more

El Rinconcito Taco Shop - Michos Breakfast Burrito - Tacos Near Me - Chula Vista, California

Paid a visit to this little local spot on Brandywine today. Friendly server and clean tiny dining up front. I wasn't too hungry so I only ordered 5 rolled tacos. They were on the smaller spectrum as far as rolled tacos go. Being served on a 3x6 inch styrofoam tray. They were delicious non the less. Crunchy and filled with a good amount of beef. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. I did like how they covered those rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. Out of the 3 salsas, red, green and habanero, I only got the red. Great flavor with a little kick. Overall, a nice little taco shop. I definitely have to try their burritos and carne asada fries. read more

Way better than Asada's! Can't beat their carne asada fries! Family owned business. Will definitely go back!

Absolutely delicious! I got a Carne Asada burrito and it was a 10 out of 10! The flavor was amazing -- perfectly seasoned, tender meat with no gristle or fat, just the right balance of everything. It had guacamole and pico de gallo inside, exactly the way I like it. The burrito was warm, flavorful, and surprisingly heavy -- a great size for the price. I honestly meant to eat just half, but it was so good I ended up finishing the whole thing! I'm really picky when it comes to burritos, and this one totally won me over. It smelled so good. I almost forgot to take a picture until I was 3/4 of the way done. I'll definitely be back! read more

This has been our weekly go to taco shop since they've changed ownership. The staff is super friendly! We've tried the carne asada burrito, micho's breakfast burrito, chicken burrito, birria, cabeza tacos. The chicken burrito is cooked in a yummy chipotle sauce. They have a great taco Tuesday deal. You have 3 salsas to choose from. Red, green & habanero (spicy) salsa. They are all yummy. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood. You won't be disappointed. Everything is made to order. read more

Carne asada seasoning is different and so good from others. Love how big the burritos are, only con is the person taking orders is a bit rude other wise I'd come back again read more

Taste: 4 Value: 4 Service: 5 Came here for dinner before a concert at the amphitheater. Called in an order of rolled taco plate, surf and turf burrito, mini tacos, and Cali burrito. Cali burrito was tasty, though I wish they put some pico de gallo in it. Mini tacos were tasty and I appreciate that each taco can be different. Friend enjoyed the rolled tacos plate and liked the shredded beef. Food was ready whenever we got there and staff was generous with sauces and Serrano chilis. Would go again next time I am watching a concert in the neighborhood. read more

Can't resist keep coming back to El Rinconcito & once again, it didn't disappoint! I ordered the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and let me tell you it's massive! Easily enough for two people, and still super affordable. Flavor was on point, filling and satisfying, just like every time I've been here. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like a true family spot comfortable, casual, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for solid Mexican food that hits the spot without breaking the bank, this is it. Highly recommend! read more

I would always see this shop driving on the brandywine and i thought I would give this place a try and man was it good. Everything is all reasonably priced, good selection of menu items, and overall good service. Just your run of the mill taco shop and feels at home when you step in. Im glad they had menudo because I absolutely love menudo and the chili rellenos is good too. Like everything looks good and there's literally nothing wrong with the place. Would definitely come back for more and more. read more

I was there for Taco Tuesday & tried a Cabeza, Carnitas, and Carne Asada taco. The Cabeza was pretty flavorful, but except for the look & texture, the carne & carnitas tasted the same. All were a lot greasier than I expected. My wife had a bean & cheese tostada (nobody can make that wrong) and we split a carne asada burrito. Again, carne was "meh". Good prices, but I'm pretty sure we can do better on value other places in CV. read more

special breakfast burrito was OK because it was a little DRY. i would go back to try other things.

Sooo good!!!! Soo amazing!!! Bought two burritos the breakfast and the cali so flavorful!!! Salsas are outstanding!!! Service was quick and people were very friendly! Really clean!! And the agua frescas are delicious and refreshing as well!!! read more

New owner and new name? I don't remember but we have ordered here two times already. Not bad! Rolled tacos were okay. Tacos were not that bad either - just lacked salt. Would I go back again? I'll think about it! read more

Great Mexican food in neighborhoods we move to the area and founded the best carne asada plate

My go to spot for taco Tuesday or any taco fix on weekends. Service is top tier and the recommendations have yet to disappoint. Highly recommend to anyone local to the area, or even driving down the 805!! read more

Been here a few times since they opened. Looks like it's the whole family working together which is always great . Service is great and food is delicious. Great choice for a quick bite . read more

Everything is really good here to be honest one of the best mexican spots and also price wise not expensive

This "son, daughter, papá" establishment is excelente!! Carnitas taco was flavorful and the double corn tortilla is the best move when you want the lime juice and salsa to hold with the meat and pico. Carne asada burrito is in my book "old school" estilo- plenty of meat not too salty with a good amount of guac! Service was perfect and if you want a coke or orange Fanta that's sugary and not watery- get it here!!! I'll be back for breakfast!! read more

The Pollo Asada burrito is back. It's nice to see the place more like it was was when it was El Portal all the OGs remember when this place had the best pollo asada burro. Ok so they offer a free drink if you give a review. I get the drink and they know I'm reviewing them. And they forgot my order. I sat here for 15minutes so I'm dropping them 1 star read more

ME ENCANTO TODO! El California burrito está tan rico y la carne jugosa! los dueños son bien amables también! I loved this spot. came for a quick meal and they were already closing up but still decided to take my order. The food was so good honestly best California burrito I've had. the owners were so nice and caring. read more

Do not go here if you want your order correct. First order, chile verde burrito, add cheese. Well there was no cheese, not a big deal. I gave them another shot today, since it's always worth a second try. I ordered carne asada burrito with just rice, cheese and sour cream. It comes absolutely loaded with onions and cilantro - that went straight in the trash. They clearly can't listen to customers orders. I definitely won't be back read more
