el rincon de rafa

food andservicejust excellent. a real authentic taste of spain. relaxed atmosphere and very friendly helpful staff. well worth a visit.👍👍👍

this is a great place, we were 26 people and yes we did book and pre order the food in advance but nevertheless that’s a lot of people to serve. the food was excellent and theservicefirst class.

we have visited el rincon a couple times and never been disappointed . the food is very authentic , good value andserviceexcellent , i look forward to our next visit .

the food at el rincon was brilliant, but the place needs to slow down. the staff were rushing around like a flustered benny hill sketch. great food doesn’t bring people back if theserviceruins it.

terrible - frozen food and stressful service. i was expecting authentic spanish cuisine, what i got was truly flabbergasting. frozen surimi crab claw that had been pre-bought, ready made and frozen (do a google search on frozen surimi and look at images) which was tasteless and pure white imitation crab meat (no fresh crab to or fresh anything to be found at el rincon except the side salad of half a tomato and 2 slices of cucumber on one of the plates!). everything was covered with tinned tomatoes on every dish, and all dishes tasted the same except for the frozen meatballs, the meat was tasteless but i got a hit of chilli with the tinned tomatoes this time. the same with the squid it was chewy and clearly pre-frozen. very disappointingly (because this place could be so good, and has gone very downhill) the management have obviously decided to cut corners in an effort to turn over tables.servicewise everything came within 5 minutes of ordering and as we had barely taken the last contents of a dish the plates were whisked away from us within a split of a second. the wait staff were constantly hovering making it a stressful evening (we were in and out within 40 minutes!)
