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!!

Early Sunday afternoon; not busy and the food came quickly, hot and fresh. Very good.read more

We stopped here for lunch when we first hit Statesboro…read more First, I want to say that we had our corgi with us and Gnat's Landing (haha I get the 80s tv reference) is very dog friendly. Clawdia sat at the table and the server found her a banana, her favorite treat, after the long car ride. As far as the humans go, we all enjoyed our meals as well. They have a good lunch menu and prices were reasonable for other items as well. I enjoyed the popcorn shrimp while my daughter raved about the shrimp and grits. My wife also enjoyed the mahi sandwich. Service was fast and friendly despite a large lunch crowd. We ate on the porch since it was a nice day. I never went inside the main building, but we did note that they have a lot of activities like trivia night, etc.

The service at this place was excellent. Lots of variety on the menu with some interesting options…read more However, the food was nothing crazy, it was good but I have had better. Definitely probably one of the better restaurants in the area though. The Diet Coke was really good. The fried okra was not. Well priced for the food. The restaurant lives up to its name as there are a lot of gnats. Once the staff turned the fans on it was not as bad. My chicken parm sandwich was good, but probably wouldn't order it again and would stick with more classic options. Good casual place in the area though that does the trick for a good price.

Unfortunately, if I could give it negative stars I would…read more We went here with about 12 people on Saturday night. We called ahead of time to make sure that they had space because having been in the restaurant business for many years it was always so frustrating when people would come with a big group and at least not call ahead to see if we have space rather than just show up and expect the 12 people on a Saturday night could all fit at one table. Well, that could have been my first clue. And for the record, this was not my first choice and seeing that there's only 1-5 star review on their page. I would've not come at all. We get there in the place is nearly empty, but we had come a little early on a Saturday and thought OK maybe they just are not that busy. Well once we are seated and get settled first of all, they didn't have enough menus for all of us. There was literally almost no one else in the restaurant and they didn't have enough menus for 12 people. Take that in for just a minute. Then we find out that they lost their liquor license. Well, I don't drink often, but I do like a good margarita when I have Mexican food so that is strike two. It's not my favorite to write negative reviews. However, my hope in doing so is that the restauranteur will actually take into account what I've said and make some changes. The restroom was clean. That's always my first eyes into the restrooms to see whether or not they might keep the kitchen clean. They did a good job although they do need to do a little maintenance to make it even better. The place smelled of cleaning products. Actually not a good thing. Because when I'm coming to your establishment to eat food, the first thing that should hit me is the wonderful aroma of that food not the fact that you had to mask some major problem with cleaning supplies. Like I said there were only about 12 menus maybe even less because not all of us had a menu to begin with. Maybe they were 14 of us. This was several weeks ago and I should've done this then. There were a couple of server assistants that were young men who did the best job that they could, but you could tell that the owner/managers did not want them doing anything other than delivering chips and salsa. We had no silverware for ages and had asked several times. We received no straws even after several couple times. We asked for more napkins several times. The food was mediocre at best. Unfortunately, I can't find one good thing to say about the food. I know that a few people ordered the flan-like dessert. The texture was absolutely off. We are not in the area very often, and I highly doubt that I would ever go back. But if I did see that reviews were pouring in and they were very good. Excellent I might give it a try thinking that the owners made some changes. It's a great location, but they are lacking in too many ways.

Kind and accommodating staff who don't care to charge you for little extra sauces and condiments. Sad that local places like the McDonalds probably make thirty times what this place makes. These people here deserve medals.

We asked for jalapeños for one of the orders, got charged for it but they weren't in the order. For 3 of us, it was $48 with a tip. The food was decent but with my $14 quesadilla I got about a tablespoon full of guacamole and about the same amount of sour cream - both of which were supposed to come with it. And the salsa portion was super small, too. So, again, the food was good as usual, but was a bit disappointed with the portions and leaving off the jalapeños. ‍

They now have a full size restaurant in front of the Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx and Aldi shopping area in Statesboro. This location has been about 50 restaurants over the years (yeah a little exaggeration lol) and I hope the Saucy Shrimp can succeed there. The restaurant is large, very dark and has the more dramatic decor from a previous owner. We had the fried shrimp baskets which came with a good bit of small medium shrimp and fries ($15). We ordered some hushpuppies ($2) but couldn't eat them as they contained corn. Never had corn in a hushpuppy before. The batter was kinda sweet. Good variety of sauces to try and they were generous with their sauces. Service was great - very friendly and quick to refill our waters. Some menu items were reasonably priced and others were a bit absurd. I'll be back to try some other items on my next trip to the 'boro.
