El Rincon Chiapaneco Mexican Restaurant

This is a hidden GEM That you could easily drive right by… THE FOOD IS FANTASTIC!!! Authentic Mexican that is super tasty and feels homemade. Tacos and Fajitas perfectly spiced bursting with flavor peppers done just right. Chips and salsa and queso on point. Ask for the homemade hot sauce tasty and just right!!!

Our second time here and both were memorable. The staff is friendly, the food delicious, and the prices reasonable. Their salsa is the best I've had at any Mexican restaurant. Be sure to enjoy it yourself.

We are vacationing on Kiawah, our kids wanted Mexican food, and we knew the place at Fresh Fields had watery drinks and not great food. This place has a full bar as of April 2024. Service and food were excellent. My 6 year old had the chicken empanadas which were the best I’ve ever had, my chicken mole was yummy and quite spicy, they made a simple chicken and rice for our son, and my husband had a delicious fish burrito. House salsa was spicy and great. We had large house margaritas which were a little overpriced but appreciated. Entrees run about $11-$16. Melon agua Fresca was 👍👍

El Rincon was empty. On a Saturday night. I think it was because of the lack of beer or wine. The food was really good, and they seemed to have a decent take-out business, but we were literally the only people in the restaurant. The place was very clean, the servers were very nice, and the decor was festive. I liked my el pastor burrito a lot. it came with a nice salad, and mediocre beans and rice. My wife liked her el pastor just ok. She added some salt. This place has promise, but I'm not sure if it will make it without being able to have a Mexican beer. I didn't ask if you could BYOB, but I'd be interested.

The food and atmosphere was so good!!! Service was a little slow but not too bad. Staff was very nice.
