We love this place! The food is amazing and the people working here are super nice. We order food from here several times a month.

Sinceramente es un lugar bueno, la comida es muy rica, yo he visitado el lugar varias ocasiones y me gusta el sabor, pero lo que sinceramente les falta es la cantidad, sirven muy poco la verdad, y deberían de cambiar eso ya que este lugar es muy bueno y puede ser mejor. read more

We love Rincon Mexicano! Pick up take out at least 3x a month. My favorite is the Birria tacos . Honestly though, there's not a bad thing on the menu! And the guacamole is amazing !! read more

Best Mexican food in the area great service and great quality service very reasonable prices

Rincon Mexicano offers good vegan tacos, fresh food and friendly vibes. Pro-tip: Rincon Mexicano is different than Taqueria El Rincon, a couple hundred feet away. Taqueria El Rincon is in the same building as an Aldi and has no vegan options; Rincon Mexicano is in a free-standing stripmall. It's confusing on Google Maps. The veggie chorizo tacos ($3.25 each) are vegan by default and excellent, which nicely-seasoned chorizo. Take a pass on the similar, but different, veggie chorizo with potato tacos ($3.25) which are blander due to the potatoes neutralizing the seasoning. The soy meat tacos ($3.25) are excellent with great texture and seasoning. We also liked the french fries ($2.75), which I can never pass up. Lastly, the pico de gallo with chips ($4) feature superb homemade chips and fresh pico. You can't go wrong. Stop by Rincon Mexicano for some of the best, and most authentic, vegan tacos in the Twin Cities. read more

Quick ordering from a hole in the wall. Take out or eat there. I love their verde (green) sauce. Just the right degree of spiciness for a gringo. I even ordered a quart made fresh to take home. Make a tortilla and dip it in the sauce or simply pour it on the rice, beans and steak. The numerous slices of thinly sliced steak was amazingly seasoned. At some places the steak can be tough. Not here. This place is hidden in a small strip mall behind another small strip mall. Good luck in finding it. read more

Rincon Mexicano - Carne asada (thin slices of steak), rice, beans and salad. - Mexican Near Me - Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota

Ohmigod. I am SO glad this place is here. I went to my park-n-fly hotel in the middle of generic corporate chain nowhere, and the restaurant options were dismal. Then there were these reviews on Yelp ... It is so out of the way. It is at the corner of a hidden sub-sub section of a barely perceptible strip mall. But bright and welcoming. And WOW when you walk in the door is it fragrant. You can't help start salivating - - roasted corn, a waft of garlic, searing of meats - - this place smells FANTASTIC. A lot of take out business, but I sat down and asked to see the menu. The gentleman said they are out of menus, but have pictures - - and the pictures are a Who's Who of yummy options from the $2 tamale to the bistec combo plates. I am a fan of sopes, so asked for the sope plate with pastor and carne asada. It is clearly his wife who brought it out, and she is virtually running to keep up with the pace of things, but with a sweet, warm smile and a bit of a giggle, nonstop. It came pretty fast, and was immensely satisfying. The red salsa is hot, the green more tame, and slathering them over the sopes till the whole dish was awash and aflame with flavor made for a great, great meal, for under $8. Why not 5*? Because I've had somewhat more fragrant sope shells, more tender meat, more aromatic salsas (and I take "as good as it gets" seriously) - - but the the flavors, the satisfaction, made the visit totally worthwhile. And the restaurant experience here is so genuine, so alive, so vivid, that it makes the rest of corporate chain hell out in these parts seem like a mortuary. read more

Just had their shredded chicken tacos and Barbacoa tacos and it is by far the best Mexican food I've had in MInnesota.. tasted just as good as the places back in San Diego. Great flavor, just the right amount of spice too. Very friendly staff, all smiles and helpful. Priced well, a few bucks less than the place around the corner. I'll definitely come back! read more

Rincon Mexicano - Tacos, elote - Mexican Near Me - Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota

Well well well, hidden gem here. I must say I was surprised about this place. So I'm looking online for a co worker and I to get some good tacos for taco Tuesday and came across this place on yelp. Read the reviews, saw they had $1 tacos, was sold instantly. Not only is this place cheap, the tacos are really damn good. And the salsas that they give you to put in the tacos, awesome. The green is my favorite, so much flavor. The only hiccup, the tacos were small, so I needed to eat 6 to fill me up. Your paying $1, remember that. And they do $1 tacos on Friday too. I would love to check out their dinner menu sometime. Super small place, I believe there was 4 booths and that's it. So don't "expect", to dine in. Because those 4 booths go quick. I highly recommend read more

Good authentic Mexican joint. Not much for comfort inside, but quick good food for lunch or a craving meal.

Ordered Enchiladas plater, Chile Relleno plater and a tamales. First off pretty over priced for a hole in the wall. The Chile Relleno plater was bland, the Chile somewhat rubbery and the chz inside was not melted like it's supposed to be. We also got the last tamales - which in my opinion they shouldn't have sold - we took one bit and threw it out since it seems stale. I would NOT recommend this place and will NOT be going back. Good luck keeping this place open.. read more

Very good authentic Mexican food and very generous servings for a fair price. Busy takeout with a few tables for eat-in. No fish/shrimp but they do offer a veggie meat alternative. read more

Had the Enchilada verde, it is standard Mexican American enchilada fare. Good. There was some dad TV on monitor, if you want a bit of entertainment while you eat by yourself. It's small, with just 3 booths, so don't bring all your friends, or in my case, bring all your friends plus a half dozen strangers. read more

Friendly Mexican restaurant hidden behind Ace Hardware store. I got Menudo. My Menudo had a little spicy hint, not greasy or food colored, plus fresh cilantro and amazing flour tortillas!! My beef and barbacoa tacos are also very tasty, wish they have more taco options though, especially fried tripes. read more

Great Mexican food. Authentic. Fresh. And a diverse menu. I have been once and I had the Pastor and Azada tacos. The meat was moist and flavorful. And the rice was well made. Outside and inside decor is nothing special and there is not much seating. However, the price and food are very good. read more

A wonderful little hole in the wall restaurant. Delicious food with a wide variety of options. I absolutely adore their tamales among the best I've ever had and they run a special on them on Wednesdays. My husband loves their nachos. Our daughter constantly wants to go here. Lots of gluten free options if that's a concern for you. read more

This place is small and cheap! I will be making multiple trips over here! The service is super fast and the tacos are overstuffed!

this place is down a steep hill, and right next to aldis on the left side. it's a little hard to spot from the main road but still easily accessible. the outside is filled with deals and offers throughout the week. the inside is really neat, and they have mexican soap operas playing for the most part. The owner is the sweetest man i have ever met! very joyful, and willing to help out with any questions you have. i went on taco tuesdays when they claimed to have $1 tacos, they do have $1 tacos only on tuesdays but only for a few meats not all. I ordered the tinga chicken, and it was really good but i wasn't really a fan of it. there wasn't anything lacking to it but it just wasn't satisfying. he also gave a chili sauce to go with but that somehow worsened the taste. the quantity was also really small, i understand it was a $1, but not worth it. this place has a really big menu and a lot of mexican snacks to go as well, didn't get a chance to sample any of them-but will get around to it next time! they also have seasoned mexican corn on the cob (elote) and it was around $3, so not bad, will try them the next time im there! definitely worth a visit and really authentic food! read more

Wonderful authentic tacos. Best around actually. -1 star for not paying their phone bill so I can call orders in early. Also, odd tip, if they want to stay in business they should raise their prices. They sell stuff too cheap, so cheap that they can't pay their phone bill. The tacos are amazing, Raise your prices so you can stay around. As a local and regular here I need this place around. I promise you won't lose a single customer read more

Good food, super clean, family owned and operated. Guacamole was super good and limy, chilaquiles were good enough to want to order again next time around. read more

This place is a hidden gem! The sopes my roommate and I had were amazing, as was the guacamole. Though this place is very small and I recommend doing take put, the service from the owners of this restaurant is great, they're super friendly and we're ready with recommendations! read more

This place is incredible. Fresh made horchata, great tacos and other dishes. I haven't tried the sopas or tortas yet, but they look amazing. Not greasy at all. Their location is hard to see from the road, they need to get a sign out on Cahill. I'm really worried since all of the previous restaurants in this location have gone out of business because no one knew they were there. Taco Tuesdays... $1 tacos. Awesome. read more

Taco Friday was a hit for me. Can't beat $1 tacos! Very fresh food and clean restaurant. read more

ordered a side of beans, got home, found that there was cheese on top of the beans, and that the beans had run all over my taco's. I have a severe dairy allergy. went back, told them i can't eat this cause of the cheese. they were mad and defensive, but gave me new taco's. got home and found cheese mixed into the beans. something I made sure there wouldn't be, and the taco meat was almost half chunks of fat. all that aside the foods not very good read more

Me and my son went there for taco Tuesday we each had 3 tacos the tacos are so small no cilantro on most of them barely any meat on them. We finished eating and looked at each other wondering where To go and eat we were both hungry after them. This picture is my tacos on a salad plate at home. I use to love this place when they first opened but tacos get smaller and smaller all the time. This will be my last time going back. read more

We moved to Inver Grove and were disappointed in the selection of food options. Until we found this place! It is AMAZING! The portions are great and the food is amazing. Its definitely a little more "bland" but in a safe way. I highly recommend the tacos (which are $1 on Tuesday and Friday) or the nachos with the Tinga chicken! They are always super friendly and quick! read more

Street tacos that are delicious with great service and salsa options. $1 tacos Tuesday and Friday's!!!!

Although it is hard to find (next to aldi and Paul's auto. In old papa Bella's pizza spot), El Rincon Mexicano is GREAT. They serve all authentic style food And it is flavorful and delicious. Went on a Tuesday for "Taco Tuesdays" and had 4 carne asada tacos with chips/salsa. Well worth the money. If you like authentic style mexican and live in the area I would definitely recommend stopping by. Good food. Cheap prices. What more could you want??? read more

Definitely a hidden gem as others have said. It is a Mom and Pop shop with incredible service. We walked in for the first time today, were greeted at the door and had our orders taken promptly. Everything was prepared fresh, quickly, and you could tell they took great pride in what they were preparing. We will be back. read more

For a local place near my house, I really enjoyed their food and prices. It's kind of in the corner of a very small strip mall, so it was kind of hard to notice. This is what we got: Steak Burrito: It was smaller than Chipotle (as I really like Chipotle and I've compared everyone else's burrito's to theirs now) but it did come with some unique fillings. The steak was pretty tasteful and as it was a little smaller, it didn't make me feel super full after eating it. I'd give the burrito a 3/5. (I know, Chipotle isn't probably authentic or what not, but I Like it so :p) 3 Tacos: This is where I feel for them... yup... 3 tacos... each with a variety of choices of meat: steak, chicken, and pork (marinated or roasted), there was another one or two I believe, but we went with steak, chicken, and roasted pork. The tacos were very basic, just the meat, diced onions, and cilantro, and a lime on the side. The Roasted pork was awesome! The pork was dry, but the onion, cilantro, and lime helped compliment it in your mouth. The chicken was kind of dry and tasteless, very plain, nothing to rave about. The steak was a little better and easier to eat. If I go next time, I'm just going to get 3 roasted pork tacos, MMmmmmmmMMM. I'd rate the chicken taco 2/5, steak taco 3/5, and roasted pork taco 5/5! Inside the restaurant, there's about 3 tables, so seating is limited, but there are some pictures of the food they provide (not a lot, but they are working on it, as a sign says) It's not very up to date yet, but I'm sure it's a working progress once they figure out the traffic flow in their restaurant. Overall, they have just opened up (I think?) but when we arrived (around 6pm) they were quite busy already. I'll probably go back tomorrow after work, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day, and the next day! Since the prices were pretty reasonable, I'd say give it a shot and see what you think. read more

Ordered Asada tacos, chicken tacos, and chicken enchiladas. They were out of Al Pastor :(. Tacos were authentic Mexican style, but nothing special. They got the corn tortillas right, but that was the only thing right about the tacos. The chicken was pasty white, dry, and flavorless, so flavorless that if I didn't see it, I would have never known it was there. The asada was not much better. It was dripping with grease and overcooked. The enchiladas would have been decent if the chicken had any flavor. Rice and beans came with the enchiladas. The rice was VERY oily, and the beans were just doctored up canned refried beans. The food definitely needs some work. I may go back just to see if maybe I caught them on a bad day, and to see how their Al Pastor is. read more

Wanted some Mexican, and not Taco Bell. This place is a tiny hole in the wall with real authentic Mexican. First time there thought I'd go safe and get nachos. They were awesome. Definitely will go there again. read more

very poor food for being three Mexicans working there. Food is poor. Tamalle so so. Thought this was going to be great Mexican food in the city finally. Well I was wrong. Ran out of beef for dry not much flavor. I am very sad to see another poor restaurant here in Inver Grove Heights. read more

This is the best place to get tacos don't listen to Troy G his tacos are the ones they give for a dollar guys! Don't expect too much from a dollar taco been going there since last year and nothing has change expect they made the place a bit more bigger and added more tables. Also there's another restaurant on the side of Aldi that stoled part of their name Rincon Mexicano has almost been open for four years while the other shop opened no later than 6 months I recommend the enchiladas:) read more
