Reviews for El Rinconcito Fine Mexican and Seafood in Vista, CA

This place is Mexican delight with delicious tacos and salsa. I have been here many times and the staff is always there to greet... you. The server is very attentive despite it being busy, he knows his clientele and goes above and beyond. What a great placewith good atmosphere and great Spanish music. Read more

No carnitas or mole! The enchiladas were very undercooked. The waitress got my friend's meal wrong. One of the waiters flipped... off the cook in front of patrons. Chips were thick and hard. Will not go back nor recommend. NOT fine dining. Read more

The worst seafood I have ever tasted in my life. Poor portions bad service

This was a great meal experience. My wife and I went there for dinner and I was very happy we did. Genuine gourmet Mexican... cuisine. My wife had a little issue that the whole menu is in Spanish with no American translation. I had no trouble with thatat all. I guess because I'm a foodie you can put a menu in any language and I'll figure it out. It wasn't a problem for me butsomething they might think about in the future. I had the Camarones Costa Azul, which is shrimp wrapped in bacon. It wasexcellent. It's one of my favorite dishes but it's hard to get it right. Sometime in Mexico it either gets overcooked where thebacon is done but the shrimp is tough and dry, or it's undercooked for the shrimp inside is perfect but the bacon is not crispyor well cooked at all. El Rinconcito nailed it. It was absolutely perfect. We found the restaurant through our entertainmentdiscount publications and we will definitely be coming back. Read more

Update 4/14/2021 This time the attention was much better, the waitress was very nice and kind even she was the only one for the... whole restaurant. Fast food, delicious, well proportioned. ???????????? Update 8/8/20 I am very disappointed by the attitude ofthe waitress from the beginning, I do not know if it bothered her that my partner does not speak Spanish or I dont know, but shewas very rude, got the drinks wrong and she got upset, she didn't like that we didn't order fast. We'll see how the next one is. Read more

Amazing Baja style seafood. The marlin fish taco might be the best fish taco I have had.
