Customer Reviews

"In town for business and this was close by. Wasn't many cars in the parking lot but I trusted the reviews and entered. Very nice man helped me place my order. I received chips and salsas & three tacos. My favorite was the asada!! Tortillas perfect and really good rice & beans. I'd recommend"

"Had a quiet dinner at this nice little restaraunt. Gentlemen who seated and served me was very friendly and gave me a great recommendation for dinner after listening to what I was craving. So ordered the Tejana Burrito with cheese sauce and filled with steak, chicken and shrimp. It was served quickly and hot. And, Wow, was it delicious and filling! Came with 3 sauces to try, though I'm not versed in sauces, they were all good. The red sauce was nice and spicy, the greens were more mild and flavorful. Also enjoyed their chips and salsa while waiting. When I'm back in the area, I'll definitely stop by for dinner again. Thank you to the crew at El Rinconcito for a great meal! Update from August 24, 2022 Came back 2 years+ later, food here is still amazing, just like the staff that works here. Food was served fast, hot and most delicious! I had the Queso Birria Taco Platter from the hosts recommendations, but it was so good, I forgot to snap a pic. I will be back again!"

"This restaurant comes highly recommended because I'm not a big Mexican food eater. With being said, I'll definitely be back... like in a couple of days. El Rinconcito is a quaint little restaurant located in Lexington Park. It was clean and not busy when we first arrived. Jose Luis was our waiter and the customer service was top notch. Let's talk about the food..... everything was fresh and delicious. I had chicken and shrimp tacos and guacamole. The portions sizes we plenty, so we all had our fill. I highly recommend this local spot. I can no longer say I'm not a fan of Mexican food."

"Ordered through Doordash and the food only took about 15 minutes from the time I ordered to the time I received my food. Everything was amazing! The meat seasoned perfectly, nothing was cold, nothing was dry. The tres leches was perfect as well. Would highly recommend!"

- Chyane J.

"Love this little place! Great authentic Mexican food at a reasonable price. Really close to Gate 2, so lunch is very doable. Been coming here for a few years and will continue for many more. Today I had the Al Pastor Burrito: $12.99 Flour Tortilla Stuffed With Marinated Pork With Pineapple, Rice & Beans Topped With Queso Sauce, Cheese & Sour Cream. This is one of my favorite dishes."

- Michael C.

"Absolutely wonderful Mexican food! I'm originally from Texas and struggle to find good Mexican food in Southern Maryland. From the salsa to the beans and rice and everything in between, this place is amazing! Try the enchiladas and the tacos. Homemade tortillas! Yum! You gotta try this place!"

- Sondra R.

"Group of 2 went here on Cinco De Mayo. We ordered the Birria Quesadilla w rice and beans, taco platter w all beans, and a side of chile toreados. It was all great, 1st time trying the Birria and it was well worth the price. Filled with a lot of meat and the consomme was flavorful. They recently renovated the place because the "L" wall that was in the middle is gone, opening it up to hold more people. Menu has been updated and looks great."
