What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Rincon Taqueria is celebrated for its incredibly generous portions, especially its massive burritos and flavorful tacos and tamales. While many praise the vibrant, welcoming atmosphere and classic cocktails, some reviewers mention inconsistent quality, particularly with the chicken in burritos, and occasional deviations from traditional flavors. Despite minor complaints, the value and overall deliciousness keep diners returning.
"This is one of my favorite places in all of Fairfield County for fish tacos, and empanadas. Although they are known for their enormous burritos and quesadillas, I love the freshness, the texture and flavor of their fish tacos, and recommended it to anyone in Norwalk. You won’t be disappointed."

"Stopped in hoping to be blown away. Not quite. My friend and I ordered the guac to start, nothing special. I had a really good spicy margherita, I enjoyed it very much. We then had 1 chicken and 1 cheese empanada. They were both tasty. My friend ordered the braised beef quesadilla which was both our favorite dish. Then we had their enormous burrito. I was hoping it was as good as it looked but it was the most disappointing dish. We chose the chicken burrito and I immediately wished I had chosen the braised beef. The chicken was dry, tough and not tasty at all. I mentioned this to the waiter. He wasn't able to get the owner to care and address the bad chicken."

"Food is fresh and made to order if the Spanish ppl aren’t listening to loud music in the kitchen I don’t want it rice and beans were slightly over salted but the atmosphere and Ora of the restaurant was amazing, Matt the server was a great host would come again if I had 100$ to spend the burritos are huge ! One is enough to share with at least 2-3 ppl and chips and salsa are amazing!!! Wish they had more deals for happy hour !"
