I always have a great experience with El Rincon, the staff and food are consistently great.My latest experience involved me ordering 2 main dishes to collect as my Mother wasn’t feeling well enough to venture out. Carlos had arranged for both dishes to be expertly plated and packed so they stayed warm for the journey home, which was very kind!Both dishes (skate wings and veg, liver & onions with veg) were extremely good, so tasty.Thank you very much.

A wonderful family run Spanish restaurant serving delicious food with attentive staff. One of my favourite restaurants. A very wide selection of tapas alongside full courses. Always good.

Not the first time I’ve been to this family run restaurant over the past decades but I have never left a review which I am putting right. The atmosphere and friendliness of the owner and his family is only surpassed by the excellence of the food which has never been disappointing. We are very lucky to have this restaurant in our local area and I would highly recommend it to those who have not yet tried it - trust me you will have a wonderful experience and do take advantage of his knowledge of excellent spanish wines.

Just the worst meal in a very long time. Tasteless, badly cooked and not fresh ingredients. My stomach was upset before leaving the restaurant.

Great food and atmosphere.Had a great evening and staff are very friendly.
Joe and family always make us feel like we are part of the family. Always such a relaxed atmosphere which adds to the enjoyment of a tapas menu IMO. Food was phenomenal from start to finish and there wasn’t a blinked eyelid when the family next to us wished to share their Birthday cake with us for desert! (They happily served slices to our table). Potato’s bravas to die for and pork, Hake, prawns and muscles to live for. Never been let down. And as a local cab driver I have never heard of anyone being let down. Highly recommended!

Very friendly staff. It has a great family feel to it. Food is fresh and all very well served. We recently moved from the Croydon area and visited a tapas over in CR. I'm glad we found a nice tapas to replace our restaurant with.

Nice for tapas. Some good flavours coming out of the kitchen, particularly the casseroles. Ingredients seem decent, bread was good.Some interesting items dotted around the place.Service was good. Attentive but left us to it when eating. Perhaps a little long on the bill although it started getting busy.Booking recommended on the Saturday although some walk-ins available.

Lovely place and nice as it's local. Food was really well presented and also very good. Unfortunately my last piece of the meatballs, had a long hair through the meat. I just didn't think they dealt with the situation very well, almost laughing it off as "their chef is bald and everyone else in the kitchen is dark"? I said maybe they were bought in and it happened in production, but no, they're made on site???A nice evening spoilt by an incident not really taken seriously.....we may visit again?

This was our first time at El Rincon and it definitely won’t be our last! The restaurant had a lovely relaxed atmosphere and Carlos was very welcoming and made us feel very at home. I have been learning Spanish for nearly a year and decided that it was time to practice outside of the classroom. I was nervous to speak for the first time, and knowing that I was making silly mistakes, but Carlos and the young waiter were great, thank you so much guys ? The food was incredible. Everything we had was delicately seasoned and so beautifully cooked. We had tapas to start, I had Gambon en Salsa Blanca and my husband had Higado Encebollado which is liver in a lovely rich wine sauce, I didn’t know that liver could be that tender and could taste that good! We had the Rape Langosta from the specials menu on Carlos’ recommendation and it was beautiful. We are looking forward to returning soon so we can try more of the delicious dishes!
