The staff was very nice & attentive & served our food very fast, the food was amazing as well! totally worth it

We stopped here late one night for dinner on our way back to the hotel, and it was a great find. We ordered chips and salsa, the elote, a couple of drinks, and tried the carnitas, carne asada, and al pastor tacos. Each taco had great flavor, and everything came out fresh. The chips were served with three salsas--a mild, a mango habanero, and a spicy--all of which complemented the meal well. The atmosphere was relaxed, with lots of families dining and the World Cup playing on the TVs. It would be a great spot for a quick meal while passing through, a casual date night, or to grab drinks with friends. The staff was incredibly friendly and attentive, and the service was quick without feeling rushed. Overall, we had a great experience and would definitely stop by again the next time we're in Rincón. read more

I love this place. The nachos and tacos were terrific. The nachos especially were so perfectly distributed over each individual nacho. The queso drip is amazing. The tacos were all yummy. Relatively inexpensive spot. Kind service. Everyone spoke English very well. There was no one inside so we were scared, but that just meant we got our really good food sooner. read more

We loved this place so much we ate here twice! The tacos were great, the service awesome, and such a great vibe! I had the sea bass ceviche and it was the best ceviche I've ever had! And such great portions! Their flan is awesome too! Loved Rincon and definitely want to come back and for sure will come back to this restaurant! read more

What a fun restaurant! The servers are bilingual and the menus are available in English and Spanish. The guacamole was very chunky and tasty with their tortilla chips. The pico de gallo campechano appetizer was outstanding. The quesadillas are huge and the tacos are very flavorful. I had the Govenors tacos were overflowing with shrimp. The margaritas were perfectly made with a nice balance of alcohol and mix. Mocktails are also available. Definitely we'll be back. read more

The food here was absolutely the best I had this trip. The queso was out of this world tasty, as were all the freshly made salsas. The bartender made me the most delicious mango margarita. The staff was super friendly as well. read more

Excellent food, very friendly and cool environment. I recommend this restaurant in Rincon anytime.

The food was excellent! Service was excellent! My hubby says it was the best Baja fish taco he's ever had (and he's had a lot). The birria was delicious and so was our chicken tinga. Our drinks were strong and fresh tasting. Amazing Mexican food! read more

Food was amazing, only reason for 3 stars was the service was crap. 2 out of 6 ppl of our group received their food and it took an hr before the rest of us ate. read more

So Rincon is a wonderful, quiet seaside surf town. Taqueria is fantastic! Ordered the jalapeños poppers to share. Fair to say nothing so far has come close to Sonic (guilty pleasure but they have the standard of good poppers, sue me).......until whatever happened today that challenges my life's understanding! Anyway, aside from the poppers, we got the surf n turf tacos (me) and stuffed avocado with fish (her). Hoo boy, we've eaten plenty of similar food but this is the best. Only downside, ordered the martini del chavos not that great. Not a martini and even for a fruit flavored drink, eh. My fault on that- it is a smoked drink which is not my preference. Service and atmosphere, great! Folks, don't sleep on our countrymen in Puerto Rico. This place- and the island on the whole- deserves your love and respect. read more

Beautiful ambiance for a drink and great food. Have the fish tacos they were so crunchy, great portions nicely dressed with limited but flavorful toppings. The pina colada was delicious and strong but not overwhelming. Everything was good and super filling. Definitely a place to visit if in the area. Will be back for seconds! read more

At first I saw $15 for two tacos and wanted to puke, but then they put my plate down and I understood - SUPER flavorful and great portion sizes. We got the surf and turf tacos, chimichanga, and jalapeño poppers. Also got free chips/salsa sampler. Servers are super chill and give great recommendations. read more

Happened on here for taco Tuesday night after arriving to town and having come from gorgeous sunset. Sat at the bar. House margaritas were on the taco Tuesday special as were a couple tacos. Bear in mind prices for tacos are reasonable. Ordered the special ones plus a ceviche taco. Wondering how a ceviche could be a taco. The ceviche taco was delicious. The others were too. Now those house margaritas went down way too easy but they packed a punch! Rough next morning. The young Bartenders were friendly and making sure all was good and up for chatting. There was a DJ that night that added to the chill party vibe. read more

tldr; HUGE portions, super affordable, great service. Get the birria chimichanga if u want just one item. Great for casual & fun date nights + accommodates large groups (mine was 8) Food: chimichanga-1000000/10. The incredibly flavorful meat & all its juices are locked in a super crispy, flaky crust. Comes w beans, rice, and white sauce. If you don't like creamy sauces, I would opt out but tbh the sauce balanced out the tangy, very flavorful meat fried cheesecake - 6/10. It was good, but the deep fried coating kind of messed w the cheesecake texture imo. flan - sooooo good; it's a bit different from the usual flan in terms of texture but very sweet & soft. service: Our server was so attentive and made the experience at least twice better. read more

What a wonderful place to eat, drink and be merry! The hostess at the door and Marcus our service provider at this establishment were great. We were welcomed and sat quickly! Drinks and appetizers were soon to come. The guacamole salsa and ceviche were all overflowing with goodness and flavor! The fish tacos were the best I have had in my memory! The chicken quesadilla was seasoned well. The burritos were enough yo take some home. The margaritas were muy bueno! The prices are great! There are plenty of Sombreros to take pictures with. The staff is willing to take photos of your group! An amazing Mexican restaurant in Rincon! read more

We had a great meal and the service was great. They sat us down even though we did not have reservations which was a good professional gesture. The atmosphere was great the business was decorated as we were at an authentic restaurant in Mexico. The only negative part was the seats and tables, the seats were really uncomfortable and the tables were a bit small for all the food plates to fit comfortably. You have to park a couple of blocks away but definitely worth it, it will help you digest your food on the way back to your car. Overall I recommend this business so when you are in Rincon, Puerto Rico stop at this business read more

The food hear was "ok" but the service from Kevin was amazing and responsive and I've based this rating on the drinks and service and atmosphere primarily. Based on food alone it would be a 3. The positives on the food were there are vegan options and allergen friendly options. This is also a popular restaurant and in the heart of town. The vegan options were half an avocado with mushrooms and fries as well as the guacamole. Some people thought their meals - like the queso and the carnitas and steak tacos were meh. read more

Will deff visit this place my next visit! The surf and turf Birria taco was OUT OF THIS WORLD! Lamb and beef meat and the shrimp were HUGE! Favorite toastada was the Al pastor. The yellow sauce that comes with the salsa is just the right amount of sweet and spicy. The guac is chunky and fresh. Our waitress was great and kept checking on us. Lots of cute neon signs and the place itself is decorated very nicely. Lots of cute picture opportunities. We were put on the waitlist which they said was an hour (turned out to be 30 mins) so we waited in the bar downstairs which they do also have quick service. Bartender down there was also great! read more

Yea so this is the last time my sister will dupe me into a Mexican joint in Puerto Rico. Puerto Ricans are a lot of things, makers of good Mexican food is not one of them. The nachos had absolutely no taste to them, carnitas meat was dry and whoever thought Monterrey Jack cheese instead of oaxaca or queso blanco was a good idea needs to be fired. The pathetic attempt at an Al Pastor taco I had was abhorrent. The meat was dyer than the Sahara and had no type of taste at all. My mom got the governor's tacos and her food was so greasy she just ended up having them take it off the bill. Completely ruined her meal and appetite. After a 3 hour drive from Luquillo, very disappointed in this spot. I know the tapas joint next door is more expensive but it's gotta be better quality than this. This place feels more like a hipster trendy spot than actual quality food. The incessant banging of the performing band and drunk people at their tables made for an unpleasant experience. read more

We have been in rincon for 4 days and 4 adults and 4 kids all agree this was the best everything was amazing such good flavor

Little entryway off the street, you might miss it except for the cool neon sign in the window. Awesome graphics/artwork all over the walls/windows, plants everywhere. Super cool vibe. We had the Flautas Guadalajara and the burrito for dinner; Jalapeno poppers for an app. No, these are not what Americans think Jalapeno poppers are. They are huge whole Jalapenos stuffed and breaded. Amazing. peter the bartender was awesome - super friendly and fun. He was hustlin' all night long with a smile on his face. Often you can tell how good a vibe is when no one is on their phones except to snap a few pics. Loud and fun. Everything is made right there, down to their own cocktail mixers/shrubs, and hot sauces - 4 different types. If you want fun, good food and a great atmosphere - put this on your list! read more

First day in Rincón we visited this Taqueria, all we can say is "WOW", "I love this place" and "our server was AMAZING". Massive shout out to Abel. We are all service industry folks and agreed that he is possibly the best server we have ever had. We questioned if he owned the place because his knowledge of every menu item was spot on and extremely descriptive. Plus, wrote us a note about great spots in the area, AND gave us the name of some great songs playing (he was on top of the playlist). We could keep going on about Abel, but the food and drinks also deserve 5 stars. Guacamole, tacos, margaritas, beers, all amazing. If anyone is looking for a great meal and experience in the area, this is the spot. I would come back to Puerto Rico just to eat here again. read more

4.5 stars Very busy on a Sunday night. Because it was a little late, they were out on some items. I got a frozen margarita as well as the fish and al pastor tacos. The margarita was excellent and a great value. Both tacos were amazing. The fish taco had a large piece of fish that was battered well (i.e. not overly battered unlike other places). It's no wonder this place was busy as their food and drinks were great. read more

The food was fine, but the music was horrid. Play spanish music or play nothing please. Gringitos estan tomando el control...

DELICIOUS. So so good. Me and my husband are big Mexican food fans. I grew up in California and we have been to Mexico multiple times so our Mexican food standards are high. This place has some of the best Mexican food I have ever had. Our waiter was Celso. He is a gem and gave some great recommendations. Their nachos... TO DIE FOR. The pico- chefs kiss. I got the birria tacos. I can't put into words how good this piece of art was. Cheesy and greasy, in all the right ways. Even their side rice- please just give me a bucket. My husband got a chimichanga- his go-to order if it's on the menu. After one bite he looked at me and the shocked look on his face made me think it was gross, but I was wrong. He told me it was the best he has had. I am telling you, some of the best Mexican food. PLEASE GO HERE. Make a reservation because this place gets packed fast. We went one night and there was an 1.5 hr wait and we were starving after a day of scuba diving but we could tell this was the place to be so made a reservation for the next night and there was a line out the door when we got there! Ambiance was also fun. Great art and lighting. As for alcohol- we didn't get any drinks but our guy Celso was over there mixing drinks like a pro and the bar looked like a lot of fun if they are the only seats available. read more

I'm so sorry but the fish tacos were not the same as in February. There was no fish just crispy skin . Even the shrimp plate was mostly breading. Drinks were watery and I paid for an extra shot. I was Disappointed because I bragged about those fish tacos to my company. read more

The breaded shrimp tacos are bomb!!! Get the coconut salsa! Prices were cheap for tacos like 3.50-$4. Great place and great tacos!

Great service & ambiance. Top notch food. I highly recommend the Surf & Turf tacos (one shrimp & one birria).

Let me say this. The stuffed plabano is off the hook. What a treat. We also had the shrimp tacos and ceviche quesadilla. Let me tell you your taste buds are in for a great adventure. Service is 1 of a kind and we are lucky to be where we are. Their is always someone better around the corner and thats where we are! Around the corner. read more
