El Rinconcito Restaurant — Restaurant in South Gate

First time sitting and eating here.

I rate restaurants like these on 3 standard basis, so here goes.

1 - Taste: the chips with salsa were not seasoned and the salsa was too watery. the chilaquiles texture was good, the sauce was too thick for me, like it was mixed with flour or something, rice was good on both plates, beans were ok, my wife said she really like the fries, however, if I’m being completely honest, the milanesa tasted like an old piece of dee fried rug (not good). The thickness was like 1 cm.

2 - Customer service: the waiter/cashier was kind and courteous. This restaurant seems to have only one person up front and no busser so some tables may not be empty after customers leave.

3 - the price was decent, 11 for chilaquiles but around 13 or 16 for milanesa plate. Unfortunately this time the milanesa wasn’t good at all and the price wasn’t worth it for the taste.

In essence, other plates can be delicious but ours were a bit underwhelming. Just taking a bit more time to plate the food better can make this place more enticing and please work on...

Defenatly not fresh authenic mexican food. I would not recomend this place :(

Came in for their Chile's Reyenos and was very disappointed in the quality of food. Their green and red "salsa" for the chile rellenos and green enchiladas was clearly from a can. The beans were definitely from a few days ago as they had been refried several times, ours were so dry they were salty. When I first got my plate I couldn't even see the chile reyeno, it was so flat, I knew that couldn't possibly a fresh chile reyeno and it was filled with seeds! The Carne asada fries were soggy covered in refried beans, and dried meats. The tacos were cold and hard. The horchata tasted like it was made from a powder mix. Nothing I had tasted fresh nor homemade. It was an utter embarrassment to have Mexican dishes ...

Small place, great molcajete, one of the best ones I've ever had. Top 3, if you ask me, but dont expect attentiveness, their customer service is not their best. We have been here too many times and have become accustomed to just seeing the lady twice to take your order and serve, so make sure to ask for all you need or you'll be seating for a while waiting on her... my advice,...
