Amazing traditional spanish food with a very cozy atmosphere! The jamon iberico and the baked aubergines were exceptional - can't wait to try the paella next time! The owners are from Galicia so they really know their food. Would recommend to anyone!
El Rincon is a great family run Spanish / Tapas restaurant serving authentic fresh, made on the premises, dishes - best in the area by far and never disappoints.
This place is great. I think the staff really makes a lovely experience for you. The food was very tasty, and the wine helped wash it down . Carlos was a great help when I was stuck for choices, lol. The only thing I would personally prefer would be a bread basket served for the table instead of one slice of bread when we asked for it. One slice of bread is a bit stingy considering all the lovely sauce in the tapas we ordered. We would definitely return, though, especially to see the desserts trolly.
A business that's been going for 30 years, and definitely shows it's experience with their cuisine. Carlos and his brother took care of us throughout the meal, engaged with us and recommended plenty of delicious choices. I cannot fault the service the offered. The food came out soon after ordering, with little wait. We'll be visiting again soon!
We’ve been looking for a good Spanish restaurant for a while and even though this was a bit far, thought we’d try it out, and so glad we did. We had an absolutely delicious dinner yesterday at El Rincon! We went for a collection of tapas, and they all tasted great and very authentic like once we had in Spain. They even had some specials that weren’t in the menu, we did try one of those as well, delicious! Similar to the food, service was amazing as well, really friendly and helpful staff and the whole atmosphere was lovely. We loved it, we will definitely will be returning to try more of the options in the menu that we couldn’t try the first time!
The food and service was outstanding! I would definitely recommend El Rincon for people wanting authentic Spanish cuisine
Amazing food and a great experience. Owner Joe couldn't do enough. Will 100% be back again. Thanks El Rincon
