Reviews
The tacos were awesome again. Some tacos are more expensive. Very friendly staff. Good music playing, I don't speak Spanish but it sounds good.
Been here a few times to buy some Beef and Chicken Tacos with Salsa Verde and Salsa Rojo along with Corn Tortillas. Really like the spiciness and flavor! Adds to the Tacos! Quesadillas are OK, as well as the Burritos. Parking can be a problem when it's super busy! Gotta wait for people to get out if there are too many at once.
Just an update, they are now serving the salsa bar again. It was one of the worst parts of the pandemic when they stopped. It's back and it's just as good as before! The food has not gone down in quality and unlike a lot of other restaurants in the area, the price hasn't skyrocketed. It's reasonable and delicious, plus it's open later than most other restaurants in Auburn. The service is great too! The counter cashiers are always hopping but I never feel rushed. Such a great vibe with this place! If you are looking for that good good taco truck feel but in a nice fast casual atmosphere this place is for you! Try the green salsa, it's delicious or be brave and try the deep red one, chunky and fire! The food, the staff and the price don't disappoint!
It's as authentic as it could be! We love their street tacos and burritos are bomb digady too! Sometimes service can be glitchy and they miss a few items in the order but it's all good - the quality of food makes up for it. It sure is your average lunch spot to grab a bite and head about your way. The inside is a bit cold and it doesn't have a welcome-y vibe. The workers are nice and seems like such hard workers. Come give this place a go if you're in the area but don't go out of your way to get food here.
This El Rinconsitos in Auburn is much bigger than the Kent location. I'm glad that we came here because we were able to dine in. They had lots of seating inside and seem like their booths were new, too. We order our food with the cashier and there's actually server who comes out with your food and clean your table when you're done. This is like a fast food joint, but the service they go above and beyond! Now for the food, we ordered the special. Which was the Pollo Asado with the chicken thighs and corn tortillas . This was only $9.99 for the moment, not sure how long this special will last. But of course, we had to get extra rice, side of guacamole and sour cream! The chickens were seasoned well and all the sides just made it taste better!
