“Wonderful food I forgot to take a picture of the huge quesadillas it's a small place with good food”
“Very good food and service. The tacos were authentic. The al pastor and carne asada were amazing! The Horchata was great. They were also very friendly. Muchas Gracias!”
“Stopped by with the fam after a soccer. And glad we did. Very good food, great service and, inviting and clean. Will come back when we’re in the neighborhood!”
“If you want incredible food, Rinconcito de Arandas is the place. The gigantic steak quesadilla practically needs its own zip code, and the Cabeza tacos and Asada Torta dinner were absolute perfection! You also can't skip the homemade Tamarindo and Jamaica waters—they are incredibly refreshing. Beyond the out-of-this-world menu, the hospitality is unmatched. A massive thank you to the talented chef and our wonderful young waiter for making us feel right at home. Highly recommend this spot to everyone—we’ll definitely be back! 🌮✨ This should be the perfect length for a quick read on Yelp or Google Reviews while still packing a punch! I think that perfectly rounds it out and gives them a nice shoutout for their catering business too.”

“I am so disappointed I could cry real tears. I was really trying to figure out what I was going to eat today and then I decided then I decided that I wanted to do a burrito and I did research and found this place based on the reviews, I decided to give it a try. I specifically ordered a steak burrito no tomatoes, everything else and add rice and beans on the inside he told me a price for Kash and the price for credit when I got there I pay with my credit card. I asked for a couple of ice. He told me it’ll be an additional dollar so I told him never mind I get to my car. I’ll look in a bag. I see that I have a green and red sauce I proceeded to pull off and then I’m like you know what I’m so hungry. I’m so excited. Let me try this out. It tasted really good initially, but I noticed I can have rice or beans so then I went back on the inside and I told them that I told the young man who took my order that I didn’t have rice or beans and he said yes you do I said no I don’t. He was like yes you do so I opened up the burrito to show him. There’s no rice or beans in there. He said oh, and then he went in the back and start speaking in Spanish And then I’m like so how long is it gonna take? He said two minutes so I waited then I got my burrito. I was like can I have a couple of ice complementary for the inconvenience because I pulled out the parking lot he had to come back he said oh OK so damn I get my burrito. I do the exact same thing I look in the bag I noticed that my red sauce was removed and now I have three green sauces. I didn’t ask for three green sauces Then when I finally decided to open the burrito and bite it into it, the taste was different and one thing I hate is to have people remake my food that’s a no no I hate that so then I opened it up still they have rice this time but no beans still no beans so I caused there and I told him I said there’s no beans. Yes it is. He said that he makes the beans the meat and the rice together and I said there are no beans he said yes there is I said OK no problem but it is a problem. There’s no customer service no accountability and cannot follow. Basic directions. I pay extra to have rice and beans inside my burrito. I was starving. This was something I specifically wanted and I’m really really pissed off Look at this picture and tell me where the beans are.”
“Owner is very nice and the restaurant has very very tasty, green sauce is on point! Definitely recommend.”
