“ Delicious Mexican food, humble prices and close to home. Perfect restaurant to take the family. ”
“ The enchiladas are covered in cheese, tasty and the flautas crisp and full of meat. Service was quick, great place to take out or to eat in. It took me a while to find this place because it's been over 25 years since I've been here I love it. ”
“ Few Restaurants become icons in the food industry, Rincon de Cortez is one of them. This is REAL AND AUTHENTIC MEXICAN FOOD. This time we eat breakfast but you must try their Comida Corrida (Mexican Lunch) you must come early around 11.50am-12pm to enjoy the Caldo (Mexican Soup) ... anyway today we enjoy Picadillo with Eggs and Red Chilaquiles with Beef bites and over easy eggs ... both very good and tasty. Great Job Rincon de Cortez in keeping good and service for so many years ”
“ I'm from East Texas and have been trying to find a great Mexican food restaurant in El Paso. I think I found one Saturday. Someone gave me a recommendation for this place. And they were spot on. Great food. Good size portions. Reasonable prices. This was thE best plate I've had in El Paso so far! Beef enchiladas w queso topping! I'll be back for sure soon! ”
“ Two words. Huevos Rancheros. Everything here is amazing, but the huevos rancheros is where it's at. During a four day visit in El Paso, we went to El Rincon twice. The servers there are warm and kind, and the food is the most classic Mexican cuisine you can ask for. ”
“ HELLSSSSSSSS YES! My Westside search for the best Mexican is over! First, a million thank yous to Luis-armando A for the recommendation. Luis definitely knows his stuff and I would appreciate if any and all people reading this review would bombard him with a ridiculous amount of "Thank You" compliments (link at the bottom!). He recommended, I went. Walking in, I didn't think much about the place. It just has a typical Mexican eatery look to it, lots of green and yellow. But one thing that did impress me initially was the size. El Rincon has three separate dining rooms...that's saying something. My waitress, whose name I never caught, didn't immediately come over, but she was covering at least half the other tables. When she did come over, she immediately handed me a menu and took my drink order. The menu isn't too large, but it does have a good amount of options so I ended up asking for a couple more minutes a few times. Patience is definitely a virtue and not many people have it, but the waitress was super cool about it and gave me time. Eventually I came to the decision of a dish (that I completely forgot the name of, but I do know it was #4). Enchiladas, flautas, carne con chile, a tostada, rice and beans...and it was all for under $10! That's a heck of a steal. I came in for breakfast so I had to request the chips and salsa. You can tell a lot about a Mexican restaurant by what kind of chips and salsa they serve. They were good though. I'm not sure if they make the chips themselves, but they were pure salty goodness and the salsa was HOTT (with two t's) and delicious. My plate arrived and I'm not going to lie I was a tad bit displeased. All that was on the plate was beans, rice, and two enchiladas. Whenever my order is messed up, I usually just zip it. I've seen Waiting... Keeping my mouth shut happened to work out for the better because had I said something I would have looked like a complete a-hole. The waitress returned with a second plate. That's right, my less-than-ten-dollars meal took two full plates. My eyes may have been bigger than my stomach, but I finished almost all of it. And here we are, one food baby later, I can happily say ERDC is my Westside Mexican restaurant home! *Link to the amazingly awesome Luis: http://www.yelp.com/user_details?userid=bzKZv5-dcTNf_XJ33jaTOg ”
