Reviews for El Rincon de Rita in San Jose, CA
This place is good. Consistent with the food. Everything I've tried was good. This time we got barbacoa tacos, chicken tacos and... a bowl of barbacoa. The flavors are different from birria but still really good. Enchiladas and chilaquiles are ???? Read more
Alright... on Friday I tried their Quesabirrias, and they were great! Then, today (Saturday) I had Menudo and it was pretty... good... great taste, but a bit hard for me. Based on my experience this past two days, I'm certain that my next meal is going tobe awesome!! Read more
Came here with a group of 6 and we had a blast! The food is authentic and the portions are huge! The servers were wonderful and... the recommendations made to us were worth it! The flan is to die for!! We live 2 hours away but we would come back if we had thechance. Read more
The Best tacos in San Jose! The food is authentic and No other place has cafe de olla and handmade tortillas. The service is... excellent too. My family and I drive 20 minutes to eat here and it’s always worth it. Read more
This is one of the top Mexican food places I have encountered in San Jose (I am actively looking for spots!) El cafe de olla is... a 10/10, very sweet and I love the flavor! The quesabirria is a MUST and the gorditas were extremely delicious (we had papa conchorizo and nopales con chicharron). I don't like chicharron, but this place changed that! The Carne asada burrito was good, Iwould say I have had better ones, but still, it is big and filled with asada, beans, rice, etc. We also suspect tortillas weremade by hand because it had a different yummy taste. I will definitely be coming back to taste more!! Read more
Great place and their freshly home made tortillas are fantastic. Lovely staff and ambiance. The plates and mugs are beautiful. I... could sense the care that is used on every aspect in this restaurant and their delicious food. Thank you! Read more
Don't walk, run to this place. I'm so happy "I found" this place. As a Mexican, you always miss the food with a taste of home,... and after 10 years living in the Bay Area, today I can't stop smiling and keep "thinking/dreaming" about the food. As avegetarian, it is always disappointing that in the "Mexican places" your options are: quesadilla, bean burrito with rice, chips& guacamole, and french fries, but here you can have options and also you can enjoy gorditas!! (handmade and with authenticMexican flavor). They have a varied and truly Mexican menu (note: burritos and french fries are not Mexican) and el Café deOlla (delicious Mexican coffee) is legit, and please, try their Aguas Frescas. It's a family-owned place, where 95% of itsemployees are women. All of them are very kind and friendly. Today I had: * Tacos dorados de carne (tacos in fry tortilla withpotato and lamb), comes with consomé, onion & cilantro, and hot salsas * Chicharrón gordita (pork rind in green salsa), comeswith queso fresco and beans. * Potato gordita, comes with queso fresco and hot salsa * Rajas con queso gordita (a plate with abase of poblano pepper, cream, corn and onion), comes with hot salsa * Gordita Zacatecana * Café de olla * Agua fresca (mix ofcucumber and lemon, so refreshing) Please, enjoy every single item of this hidden gem.
