9 reviews for Rincon Mexicano
Come if you're a) hungry and want to stuff your face with Mexican carb-wrapped protein or b) thirsty and want to get wasted with their large selection of beverages.
Tortilla chips were crisp and tasty. The salsa could be better, but whatever.
I really enjoyed my obviously-microwaved burrito de carne asada.
PS. get your bill and pay at the front. orrrrr wait forever at the table.
Rincon is upstairs above bar/restaurant Charlie Brown's on Euclid Avenue. The dishes are typical of most of the dozens of other family-owned Mexican restaurants in Lexington. Rincon, however, has the best fajitas in town in my opinion. I particularly like the fajitas huastecas, a mixture of chicken, beef, and shrimp. Try them with a few drops of the green chili sauce in the bottles on some of the tables.
The clientele is a mix of local campus types: college students, professors, etc.
It's not bad. The Enchiladas Rancheras are worth going for! Typical fare otherwise.
Eh, Rincon is just OK.
However, I do remember being an beautiful, undergrad Spanish student, yearning to get bonus points with Rincon as an excellent, and only, choice to make such a thing happen. Tortulia anyone???
Ah, the memories.....My friend Jennifer taking 21 shots on her 21st birthday...Me,knocking a few back at the tender age of 19.
Thanks for the memories, Rincon. I love you, but not your food.
edit: there have been some more Mexican places coming into lexington which are probably cheaper and better than rincon. One place to try is Jalapeno's. After going to Sedona and eating at the Elote Cafe though, I've decided that all of the Mexican food around here is pretty uninspired. Hopefully i'll find a place that will prove me mistaken.
The decoration of this Mexican food shop is creative and original. The food, while not that creative, is good quality. Perhaps a little overpriced compared to Jalapeno's (another Mexican place) and arguably not as good, but a great college joint with respectable specials on Margaritas and other drinks if that's your thing.
Location is probably their best quality. I love the interior; it's stereotypical mexican restaurant style but it feels really cozy to me...very colorful with murals covering the walls. The food is, as stated, pretty good but nothing exciting. They are generous with the chips y salsa. This is pretty much where I go for Lex Mex. lol
Ok food, but we went there a lot for the 2-for-1 margaritas on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I'd never choose the place, but I never really minded going there.
Greasy and noisy.
A wonderful Mexican restaurant in Lexington. The service is exceptional: fast and friendly. No matter how packed the place is, I'm always promptly seated and never have to wait long to receive my food. I think the prices are very reasonable for what you get. The salsa is very fresh here. Their chimichangas are great, and the stir-fry steak/chicken platter is delicious. I'm out of college though, so I feel a little overwhelmed by the sorority and frat types here sometimes, especially during the week when they come for the sole purpose to drink and drown out the rest of the crowd in Rincon. But overall this is a great little Mexican restaurant. I think they own Mi Pequena Hacienda too, and that's equally good.
