We had a great experience. The family atmosphere is very enjoyable. The service was amazing. I asked for suggestions and the recommendations did not disappoint. Kid-friendliness: There were several families enjoying dinner with kids. Wheelchair accessibility: My dad is in a wheelchair. It was easy to work in the restaurant.

TOO PRIDEFUL TO THROW AWAY!!! Full but disappointed, the food is very bland and I wouldnt say authentic in the slightest. It tasted like something out of a microwave. I wouldnt recommend anyone come here if youre looking for decent Mexican food. The staff was friendly and pretty understanding but seemed like they already knew about how bad the food is. Originally we had ordered nachos and had to change them to the beef fajita burrito because the nachos were incredibly soggy and the portion size was extremely small for the amount they were charging. I couldnt bring myself to trash it after spending 70 dollars but I had to review to try to help people stay clear of this nightmare!

Not authentic Mexican food!!!!! Full but disappointed:( Ony reason I finished is because we spent $70, and I m too prideful to throw it away. Called order ahead, food was ready on time and was hot. But the food was not what I was expecting. The nachos were a dozen tortilla chips with a little cheese and meat, tasted like nothing but the grease they were cooked in. The staff were very friendly when I had told them I was not expecting that and helped me replace them. The food was very bland, we had 3 different orders of the burrito combos, 3 beef tacos with corn tortillas and 2 puffy tacos. None of it had any flavor and felt like frozen food had been heated up in a microwave. The tacos were hard shell tacos like El Paso. Not authentic Mexican food

Worst experience ever..read reviews online it stated best tamales in town . Only if you like the flavor of can tamales. Waitress was the rudest we had to keep asking if we could order. Waitress keep saying Ill get your order in a min. There was only 2 tables and they were almost done. So we were only customers waiting. She just kept on sweeping while we waited to order. Reported waitress and they just said oh shes just tired, whos not. $70.00 thrown away.

Its been a while since I visited, but El Rincon is still an awesome place. The staff are friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. Their salsa is extra spicy, which is perfect for me, but might be too much for a more delicate tongue. Also, and importantly, you can get deep fried burritos, which are as delicious as they sound!

Place is good. But seems as if they kept the chicken out in the heat open a little too long. Got food poisoning & coworker had different meal so narrowed it down to the chicken. Be awhile before we re back.. Just hope the cooks keep meat up to correct temp.

We were passing through Longview and we stopped to eat, we searched on Google and found this place, we ordered cheese enchiladas and a meat dish, the food was truly delicious!! , but we ordered a side of cheese and it seemed like water, the truth is a place with potential for visitors, but they lack more professionalism, the waitress served us very friendly, but the rest had an unfriendly attitude, although they are more friendly with the local people and It is understood, the difference was felt from the moment we entered, in short just a constructive criticism.

I love El Rincon; its my restaurant to attend on taco Tuesday. They have the best tacos in Longview to me because of the seasoning and spice. Their refried beans are light and dont give me acid reflux, the rice is exceptional and the salsa is really good. They have great sweet tea and the flour tortillas are divine. I pick up my food, but my things are always separated to assure therell be no sogginess; its perfect EVERYTIME. Theyre on the Southside of town so its a drive, but its worth it. The customer service is always on point; theyre friendly and kind. Dont take my word for it; go check them out for yourself. This is just my perspective.

Some Real Deal Mexican food in Longview Texas. None of that tex-mex stuff you find that other restaurants this is actual authentic Mexican food. Started off with standard chips and salsa. Chips were served warm and the salsa was delicious. Not too spicy it had just the right amount of kick to it. Ordered the two cheesy enchiladas with rice and beans. Bonus point they do not skimp out on the cheese and the meal was absolutely delicious. Ordered the three pork tamales with rice and beans. This was kid approved and enjoyed. Ordered one beef and cheese burrito and this was has been approved. Also had a side of french fries and these were absolutely delicious super think you could tell they were homemade. Dont be scared of the location youre just fine and youll be safe. This restaurant stays busy day and night. Parking: They have their own private parking lot.

Worst Tex-Mex food ever!! Everything about this place is very unsatisfying. They don t even carry aguas frescas!! Only fountain sodas! The wait time was ridiculous, and we were the only people inside. 30-45 minutes waiting only to find out that my food came out cold. Previous reviews state that it looks like microwaved food & they were not lying! DO NOT BELIEVE THEIR 4.5 STAR RATINGS!!

Everything was just ok. Sour Cream served in packages. Seems as if they were saving or preserving their supplies. My food was diced in small pieces, and I asked for slices . No communication, you have to wait to be seated, but no one tells you that you have to walk to the register at the close of the meal. We were a bit confused on how they operate. For a simple. Nachos no cheese, only meat with sauteed bell peppers and grilled onions, it seemsed to be a BIG DEAL .

I ordered and picked up enchilada plate with a taco and I was very dissatisfied. The enchiladas tasted like microwave food, very fake like and the price of it was not worth it, possibly at best $3.00 it should have been. Whenever Im in Longview, never again would I get food from this place.
