El Rinconsito: Reviews & Ratings
Eduardo recommended to do Party packs for an office lunch. I ordered 2 party packs at lunch time and they were ready faster then expected for such a big order. The food was amazing and the service was excellent. Maria the cashier was very nice and welcoming. Definitely will go back.
I love this location. People working there are very nice! Came back to check on me multiple times offered me boxes and a bag for my leftovers :) food is always good and I love this selection of the homemade salsas
They offer a salsa bar. The meats are well seasoned. Food is authentic and delicious. Their restaurant is cleaner than most of the other taco places in the area. Al pasor is a "cant miss" choice.
My favorite El Rincosito is here in Burien. Service is always phenomenal. I always order the Quesobirria with a side of rice and beans. My friend ordered the pollo flautas. And the prices were amazing. 40 for 2 entrees.
Wonderful timeless restaurant with amazing variety of menu options and fast service. Efficient and thoughtful to help me order and find the right combo of tacos. Horchata was not very much flavor but sweet and refreshing. Beautiful salsa and hot pepper station.
Food was great, flavor is there! Rice & beans were really good. The Birrias here is shredded beef. When their busy, parking may be tight - seating may get full. Self-service fountain drinks & salsa bar avail. Cleaniness was 3.5 out of 5 - just a lot a people in&out. Service was friendly and very fast. 36 for 2 taco dinner plates... about avg. nowadays. Will be back.
El Rinconsito in Burien is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots. The staff is super friendly, and they have had quite a few people in the restaurant each time we've been there. I usually go through and rate each dish we try separately, but we've been there quite a few times now the list would be pretty long. We really like their street tacos. The 4 taco combo is a good deal even if you don't want the drink. The regular enchiladas have a delicious sauce on them and the rice and beans are great as well. Overall, we highly recommend El Rinconsito!
The food here was EXCELLENT! Being from California I thought we had some good Mexican. California does but this place was awesome. I had the pollo a la diabla. It was plenty flavorful and spicy! The rice was tasty. Man. Their beans! You can taste the puerco juices and or fat they were cooked in! My brother in law had the birria tacos with consome. He said they were delicious. My wife got al pastor tacos! Damn. These were the epitome of al pastor! I always order al pastor/adobada for but I'm never wowed. I've realized that a good al pastor needs char. These had that. Just because it's on a trumpo doesn't mean it's legit. Many I've had off the trumpo but lacked the char. This place has the best thus far. Their salsas packed flavor! They have self serve, all you can drink horchata, tamarindo, jamaica and melon!
