About the Business
El Rincon translates to "the corner". We're a locally owned business and we've always envisioned creating a neighborhood restaurant where families, neighbors, and foodies can sit side by side in a fun atmosphere. Our menu consists of Mexican favorites that you can enjoy daily. Our food is made with the freshest ingredients, subtle to robust flavors that will leave you full and satisfied. Our craft cocktails are made with the same love as our food and our bar shelves are filled with noteworthy tequilas. Our goal is for you to come in our front doors as a guest, then leave our tables as family.

We eat here about every 3-4 weeks...it is that good! Their queso is perhaps the top in the metroplex. From taste to consistency, it cannot be beat. Paired with consistently crispy chips, it's a great appetizer. Their 'dos burritos' entree is amazing! So wonderful and filling. Meat inside is perfect and not dry. Sauced perfectly and with rice and beans. The bandera enchilada plate is a 100% winner. All 3 are equally enjoyable (unlike other places where one type overshadows the others). And their chile relleno is special- with carnitas stuffed. Another amazing dish. Service is about perfect and always friendly. Prices are reasonable and even a little lower than others. We've eaten at both locations. Both good but the Carrollton location has more charm. And their margarita is way above others. Not overly sweet. This place is wonderful. Enjoy it- we do often.

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.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0 - Jan 2, 2024
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.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - 6113219Apr 20, 2024

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.

I had never been in downtown Carrollton before. Plenty of parking around and off the square just follow the signs. Plenty of seating on Sat for lunch. Order taken and delivered very quickly. I opted for meal with salad taking place of refried beans. Need to keep this place in mind again when going for lunch in area.

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.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 6914293064Jan 9, 2023
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.Helpful 13Thanks 0Love this 9Oh no 0 - Natisha M.Dallas, TX343110Jan 7, 2024
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!
