Our second time here and both were memorable. The staff is friendly, the food delicious, and the prices reasonable. Their salsa is the best I’ve had at any Mexican restaurant. Be sure to enjoy it yourself.

We are vacationing on Kiawah, our kids wanted Mexican food, and we knew the place at Fresh Fields had watery drinks and not great food. This place has a full bar as of April 2024. Service and food were excellent. My 6 year old had the chicken empanadas which were the best I’ve ever had, my chicken mole was yummy and quite spicy, they made a simple chicken and rice for our son, and my husband had a delicious fish burrito. House salsa was spicy and great. We had large house margaritas which were a little overpriced but appreciated. Entrees run about $11-$16. Melon agua Fresca was

El Rincon was empty. On a Saturday night. I think it was because of the lack of beer or wine. The food was really good, and they seemed to have a decent take-out business, but we were literally the only people in the restaurant. The place was very clean, the servers were very nice, and the decor was festive. I liked my el pastor burrito a lot. it came with a nice salad, and mediocre beans and rice. My wife liked her el pastor just ok. She added some salt. This place has promise, but I’m not sure if it will make it without being able to have a Mexican beer. I didn’t ask if you could BYOB, but I’d be interested.

Food was pretty decent. I got a variety of tacos and my wife got chicken fajitas. Portions were good sized. The service was OK and somewhat slow but they were very nice. Our waitress didn’t speak much English but it was better than my Spanish. The place was empty on a Tuesday night at 6:30 p.m. We were the only ones there but for one carry-out customer. The AC didn’t work very well in the building so it was uncomfortable in the August heat. They spent a lot of time taking an old, dilapidated building and trying to turn it into a restaurant. It definitely had some character and was very decorated. It might be best to keep this as a take-out spot if you are in a hurry or want a more upscale venue.

Foods were amazing! But service is slow so just make sure you’ve got some time. It seems like it’s run by a very nice family but just a one man show on the server front. Amazing marinations on their meat though!

As a native Texan I grew up on authentic Tex-Mex and Mexican cuisine. El Rincon brings me back to my Texas roots with a menu of fresh, homemade Mexican dishes that put the local chain Mexican joint to shame. Let’s start with the homemade chips and fresh salsa – not jar salsa too often served by other Mexican restaurants. The salsa had a great medium heat and was perfect with the still warm chips. The menu, while simple, is well executed across the board. We all ordered different dishes and each was excellently prepared. Delicious chicken mole, tacos, and carne asada quesadilla prepared with homemade tortillas (there’s nothing better) flavorful beef chunks and gooey melted cheese. We finished with crisp, cinnamon covered churros. The restaurant recently acquired their liquor license so we were able to enjoy our meals with cold Modelos and tequila sodas – a huge plus for most Mexican diners. The owner, Idalis, is delightful and deserves the island’s support. We desperately need another locally owned, authentic, ethnic restaurant and they’ve shown me that they deserve our patronage. Although we own a restaurant just a mile away, we’ll be having dinner with Idalis and her lovely staff every Tuesday night when we’re closed and invite y’all to join us and help El Rincon thrive.

The food is cooked fresh and really authentic. the menu is very limited but that’s to be expected for the area . Service was friendly but only one server so hard to get refills. Chips and salsa were good. No birria available which is what I actually wanted. Plenty of parking. Fine for families. There is a small bar. Not wheelchair or stroller accessible
