Reviews
This spot is always our go-to whenever we are craving some authentic Mexican food! Food is always consistent, and the margarita flights are delicious! Highly recommend!
My husband and I are driving to Santa Barbara and decided to stop in Greenfield for food and gas. The reviews looked good for El Rinconcito and they did not disappoint! On this cold day, my husband ordered the Caldo 7 Mares and I had the Caldo de Res. Both were perfect. Huge portions each with fresh, homemade tortillas on the side. Wonderful quality and the service was lovely and attentive. Very kind staff. Oh, and I had a delicious Modela Michelada, too. Garnished generously with shrimp, Chamoy, cucumbers and fruit in a Tajin-rimmed glass. Loved our entire meal here from start to finish. We will make sure to pass through here again on our next road trip!
Great food. Great drinks. Price is nominal. location seems like middle of nowhere but worth the stop. Ambiance is very trafitional Mexican and the food taste is also authentic. Dome vegetarian options available. Order came fast. We ordered a flight of margaritas and each if them was really good.
I wanted some really good authentic Mexican food and my friend suggested El Rinconcito. We arrived on a Saturday night around 6 PM and from the looks of it you could tell that it was packed. However, there were still tables available and we were sat down immediately. This place appears to be a well known local spot and many people like to gather and enjoy each other's company with good food and drinks. The table ordered the Carne asada plate, a plate of tacos gobernador, the camarones al mojo and the 2 sopes plate. I tried the asada plate and the sopes and everything was delicious. The rice and beans were very flavorful and well made that I know everything else is good when their basics are perfect. The prices are very affordable for both food and alcoholic drinks. The waiters were very attentive and came around various times to make sure everything was good.
Impressive, staff was fast, Monica our waitress was wonderful and personable , the wait was very little but at 4 pm Sunday it was as packed inside and still nice outside despite the windy weather. Food was amazing, great flavors! Makes me want to visit Michoacán.
