Since leaving Southern California in 2017, I have looked high and low for a Mexican restaurant that…read morefeels like home. While visiting Statesboro we decided on El Rinconcito to celebrate our son's birthday and were pleasantly surprised. This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I've EVER been to! The chips and salsa bar was incredible! I tried all of the salsas and the were amazing. Our food was beyond delicious . My husband and I got the burrito parmesano- I've never had anything like it! Our older sons got carne asada nachos and steak fajitas and both were wonderful. All of our kids loved what they got (and having cheeseburgers and chicken tenders on the menu made our littlest ones thrilled). The service was absolutely wonderful, and ending the night with the staff singing happy birthday with a dessert was the cherry on top. We live over an hour away but will definitely be back!!

We got a great server this time and the lunch portions of food were way more than enough to satisfy! The salsa was also perfect! I was shocked to see that our entire meal was less than $35 for fajitas, chicken nachos and two big drinks. I don't know how someone could rate this place low. I've been to hole in the wall Mexican places and this one stands out as one of the best, and they've been doing it for a long time. Kudus to the staff for a great experience!

This was once a well-regarded Mexican restaurant where we frequently dined, appreciating its…read moreauthentic flavors and inviting atmosphere. However, the quality of food has declined significantly; the beef is now overcooked and charred, lacking the tender, flavorful qualities it once had. Additionally, the portion sizes have diminished to a level more suitable for children, making the meals feel unsatisfying and poorly portioned. We will never be back to this restaurant. Folks, better spend your hard-earned money somewhere.

We had a satisfying lunch at El Sombrero Mexican Restaurant or "El Som" as the locals call it. I…read morethink this place is a rite of passage for people in Statesboro. This is the best restaurant I've been to in Statesboro yet. Here's what my wife and I had: * Mixed Chicken and Steak Lunch Fajitas Over Rice ($11.25) - cooked with bell peppers, onions, and tomatoes, and topped with cheese dip * Lunch Combo Special No. 1 ($9.25) - one chile relleno, one taco, beans and guacamole salad * Guacamole Dip - Small ($4.65) Everything was delicious. This is your standard Americanized Mexican restaurant, complete with complimentary chips and salsa (side note: the chips here are of the thicker, harder, and crunchier variety). I would say this place does the Americanized Mexican restaurant concept well and operates like a well-oiled machine (in business since 1989). Our entrees came out fresh and tasty, but the Guacamole Dip was a bit underwhelming. It looked and tasted like it had been sitting out a while. It was discolored whereas the guac that came with the lunch combo was fresh and vibrant. Service was good. We visited on a Friday for lunch and it was nice and busy, though not absolutely packed. Lots of families. This location on Buckhead Drive is the third and newest of the three "El Som" locations in Statesboro, having opened in 2008. It's relatively nice and known as the "Palace." The original location opened on Fair Road in 1989 and the second location opened in the Publix shopping center on Northside Drive circa 1993-1994.

They raised up their prices two or three dollars per item and look at the receipt that I'm posting because they charged extra for vegetables for salsa for sour cream. The first time I've ever been to a Mexican restaurant where they charged for all the extra stuff and I definitely won't be going back to them ever. I tried to talk to the manager about this or the standby manager as she stated, and she said there was nothing she could do except for give me a discount never again. I guess as explains why there's only a three star rating and there was no customers in a restaurant when we walked in.
