EL Rincon Mexican Kitchen & Tequila Bar - Carrollton

First visit last year so way overdue for follow-up lunch. Especially with SHE who cashes my retirement check. We got great service and hot food. More than enough. I posted new photos. There were more people there but left before I took photos. Also photos of surrounding area square and list of events for 2024. Plenty of free public parking for some the larger gatherings. SHE reported that the women's restroom needs an upgrade.

Solid mexican place in downtown. Happy hour all day Monday (which means $5 house margaritas, and $2 off appetizers)

The chips are served warm and best eaten right away. Our table split some Guac and some queso. Portions on those were huge. Love that they serve sangrita. A frozen Margarita and sangria combo. YUM!

I was so full, I just got some appetizer taquitos for an entree. They were good, but I've had better.

It was my first time eating here but sad to say it was a horrible experience.
While ordering food, my friend and I both did not like one of the sides so we asked the server if it can be substituted with a different side. Without hesitation, the server first looked at us with a big frown on her face, second in a rude tone said "to what? What do you want? It's going to be extra charge" then I asked what are the side options and server just continuously kept repeating the same thing without allowing us to either look at the menu (which by the way the server took away as soon as we ordered) or sharing the options to us. This went on for more than 5min in which I think could have been better resolved.
I was honestly upset the whole time I was eating that I could not enjoy the food properly due to this servers attitude and service.
Sadly, I will not be going back to this restaurant despite the fact that the food may be enjoyable next time with better service because I was not happy with the way I was treated today.
The reason for even giving 2 star is only because the food was good and the vibe was cute and colorful.

Good food here. I really liked the tortilla soup. Service was great ambiance was nice. The service was also pretty quick too

Great Mexican restaurant. I got their Rincon enchiladas because when in Rome, right? They were very good and went well with their great chips and spicy salsa. It was also happy hour so I got a house margarita on the rocks which was very tasty and I believe the happy hour special was a $5 hose margarita if I am remembering that right. It was great.
Our server was a touch slow to get to us originally but to be fair, it was really busy and then she was awesome and very attentive the rest of the time.
It was definitely crowded and hopping while we were there. it had a great feel.
We will definitely be coming back. Fun place.

I never knew that Carrollton had a downtown area until I discovered this place.

El Rincon Mexican Kitchen is definitely a great spot for brunch.

The food was amazing and the staff was friendly and had no problem accommodating special food requests.

I stopped here for a drink while waiting to pick up a food order nearby. I was pleasantly surprised to learn they carry almost all of my favorite tequilas. They also had a few others I'd been meaning to try. Will definitely return!

I spent my Cinco De Mayo here and it was AMAZING. It was packed but the service was great! I sat close the bar. I ordered the chicken locos nachos and they were so good!! Chips were good, margs were good except that flavoring they use is very thick. I recommend getting the regular lime. The vibe was great, the music had some diversity. This little hidden spot will see me again!

Such a nice place to go! Food is delicious, drinks are great!
The staff is so nice and make sure you are checked on I. A timely manner!
Went on a Friday afternoon. Really really nice place!

I can't say enough good things about this place!! I live 2min from El Rincon and let's just say me and my wife feel like we at least pay the light bill with how much we eat/drink here! All the staff is so nice and friendly! Steven and Dulce are the best managers ever! Robert, Anna, and Dante are the best bartenders!

Food wise I recommend the Mexican Fried Rice! Its the BEST! The chips and salsa are to die for. Also, if you love big portions/food challenges then try the El Gigante! The drinks are top notch! The house margaritas are my go to. Super reasonable in price and you get a bang for you buck! If you love Tequila, this is the spot! They have local brands to top shelf. I've brought so many friends here and they all wished they lived as close!
