Was recommended this place and it really delivered a lovely meal on a weeknight…read more Service was stellar (also there was only one other large party present) and we got a free appetizer of fried plantain long chips with a spicy cream dip. Food was top notch and just as good as it gets. From guac to finish. We ordered a special - tacos Dorado (fried tacos with chicken smothered in a sauce) and it was superb. It's a mix of varied Latin dishes (including Puerto Rican, Dominican which I found to be quite appealing - a little like all those Asian fusion mix places that have Chinese, Japanese and Korean dishes) We had leftovers and they were great the next day. Inside is lovely with lighting and faux brick walls. Definitely coming back here and if it continues... will be a regular for this neighborhood.

Lightest grease free empanadas I've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. We ordered guac and it comes in a huge tub for a very low price so get on that one too. Burritos and rice beans for entrees. We went with chorizo and al pastor burritos that were massive and tasty. We could have split one but I'm down for having the other half for lunch the next day. Maybe they can do a half chorizo half al pastor burrito next round and blaze trails. Pictures speak for themselves. Also very nice people work here so that's a huge bonus.

Every other Mexican restaurant in Manahawkin refries black beans. Not Rinconcito! Finally! I can get a bean and cheese burrito with the best, refined pinto beans. Also, their chips are the best in town. Why??? Because they make their own! If only the other Mexican restaurants would do the same- enough of the pre-made chips. The staff is friendly and accommodating too. Highly recommend Rinconcito!

(A bonus, Coca-Cola from Mexico made with pure cane sugar, not the awful high fructose corn syrup how they make it here.) Recommended!

The woman who owns it is the cook and is a very nice lady. I wanted enchiladas which wasn't on the menu, but she said "I'll make them for you anyway." Also the portion sizes are extremely big here probably almost triple of other restaurants, so you get a lot for your dollar, which is awesome in today's economy. Everyone go try them out, you won't be sorry!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Heard a few good reviews by friends, so we decided on…read moregrabbing delivery. I ordered a couple of things to try. The first was a chorizo quesadilla. It came deconstructed, basically a plain quesadilla (meat and cheese), I got it with cheddar and Jack cheese, and the lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese on the side. It came with sour cream and guacamole on the side as well. It was tasty, for sure, but it was also a whole tortilla, not cut. The meat was also super greasy. I also got a carne asada burrito. That too had lettuce and tomato on the side, how I would put that in, I'm not sure. It was just meat, cheese and rice. The sour cream came in handy as it was a bit dry. The flavor was there, but the meat was fatty and had gristle. Not great in a burrito. Overall, it was tasty, but average. Hoping if we get it again it'll be better.
