Food is always great and the owner is a friendly, hardworking lady! They have the best fajitas in town! Most items are gluten free.

It's been a while since I visited, but El Rincon is still an awesome place. The staff are friendly, the food is delicious, and the prices are great. Their salsa is extra spicy, which is perfect for me, but might be too much for a more delicate tongue. Also, and importantly, you can get deep fried burritos, which are as delicious as they sound!

I had a asada with cheese Burrito. Actually it was 2 burritos in the plate. Enormous plate. It was really good. Rice could be a little fluffier. Beans had really good taste. All food was great. Excellent service. Very clean.

Some Real Deal Mexican food in Longview Texas. None of that tex-mex stuff you find that other restaurants this is actual authentic Mexican food. Started off with standard chips and salsa. Chips were served warm and the salsa was delicious. Not too spicy it had just the right amount of kick to it. Ordered the two cheesy enchiladas with rice and beans. Bonus point they do not skimp out on the cheese and the meal was absolutely delicious. Ordered the three pork tamales with rice and beans. This was kid approved and enjoyed. Ordered one beef and cheese burrito and this was has been approved. Also had a side of french fries and these were absolutely delicious super think you could tell they were homemade. Don't be scared of the location you're just fine and you'll be safe. This restaurant stays busy day and night.

We've been twice in one week now....Our new favorite place to eat!! Ms. Martha is super sweet and always makes us feel at home. The food is delicious and price is great for the very reasonable prices. Great service plus great food is an absolute Win Win. Driving by you might wonder but if you pass on by you are making a big mistake....We almost did but so glad we didn't. Love love love it!!

I love El Rincon; it's my restaurant to attend on taco Tuesday. They have the best tacos in Longview to me because of the seasoning and spice. Their refried beans are light and don't give me acid reflux, the rice is exceptional and the salsa is really good. They have great sweet tea and the flour tortillas are divine. I pick up my food, but my things are always separated to assure there'll be no sogginess; it's perfect EVERYTIME. They're on the Southside of town so it's a drive, but it's worth it. The customer service is always on point; they're friendly and kind. Don't take my word for it; go check them out for yourself. This is just my perspective.

Great food. The tamales rock. Really liked the pico de gallo. Good food in a plain wrapper, as it were. I'll be back.
