We had a wonderful evening at El Rincon. The tapas was amazing. Great atmosphere and exceptional service. Very lucky this is our local restaurant!

Carlos, the waiter and Jose Antonio (known as Joe), the chef run a double act that is to die for. Carlos is the most charming and efficient of waiters who ran the tables with a skill and efficient to marvel at. Joe prepares the delicious food promptly, well cooked and beautifully presented. We have lived in the area for several years but only visited tonight. We will be regulars and with over 79,000 visitors to my reviews on Trip Adviser, I highly recommend the unsophisticated but brilliant restaurant.

We decided to change things up for my dad's 50th birthday celebrations and go for a Spanish cuisine. A couple of people had recommended this place to me, so I thought why not? I called the restaurant to book the meal for 12 people. I was greeted by a super helpful man on the phone. I could already tell this was going to be a good experience. He was very passionate about the food and making sure I knew all that they had to offer and that everything is ordered in fresh. He asked if it was a celebration and I explained that it was. He was very helpful and said if we want to bring in decorations before or bring in a cake we are more than welcome to. He called again nearer the time to make sure all was ok and ask if there's anything more he can do. On the day the food was really really good and authentic. The restaurant itself was lovely and the service was 5*. We will definitely be paying another visit, such food value for money.

I went here last week at the suggestion of a friend who visits regularly and she has high standards so I reckoned it would be good. There were 3 of us and we were fitted in at the last minute at the last table available on a Saturday evening. It was full of families and couples having a great time. the atmosphere was lovely.
The service is friendly and the staff are all very polite. the food was excellent. we all had 3 courses from the set menu and were all very happy with our choices.

The food was excellent . Nice little family run restaurant . Very friendly. The homemade desserts were the best part. Definitely try the chef's specials . Waiting to go back :)

Although I have reviewed this restaurant previously I think a further mention is deserved. I recently held my 70th birthday lunch here with all my family. To accommodate over 30 customers with the courses arriving all on time must be a nightmare for restaurants but Joe, Carlos and the team really came up with the goods. Every one of our guests remarked on the quality of the food and the service provided. Ages ranged from 83 years down to 11 months and we all had an excellent afternoon with no requests being refused and with always a cheerful face on hand to deal with them. It is not surprising that whenever we visit this restaurant we notice that so many of the customers are regulars and known to the staff. A real family run restaurant and highly recommended.

Staff very friendly and helpful. One member of family Gluten free and they discussed her menu choice with her. They hung up birthday hangers for us.

I've lived in Epsom for years but had never been to El Rincon, I WILL be returning, very soon.
We had the tapas; you could tell everything was freshly prepared, cooked to order, and also very authentic.
The restaurant has a lovely family run feel to it and the waiting staff couldn't have been more helpful!
Thanks for a great night x

We visited due to the generally excellent reviews on here but except for the initial very warm welcome from the owner/manager our experience wasn't that great unfortunately. We ordered 6 tapas but 1 came 15 minutes before another 4 arrived with the last 1 arriving after we'd finished almost everything else 15 minutes later. We had asked if the last dish had been forgotten and was told tersely by the waiter "it's coming." Nobody enquired as to whether our food was ok as we would have said something to the owner and our bill was given when we requested it with no acknowledgement that we were going or had we enjoyed our meal etc. We have visited many local Tapas restaurants and have always found that things flow better, more staff needed possibly? The atmosphere between the staff did seem rushed and stressed.

Love this place, Joe and his brother have got it right, good food, but one place that does not rip off for wine

Very good service and interesting tapas menu. Easy to park,Google food but restaurant slightly lacking in atmosphere

I was able to pick 3 dishes from the tapas menu Spanish potato omelette which I had as a starter whilst hubby had chorizo with poached egg, which looked lovely, he followed that with the veal with sate potatoes and a selection of veg, I had potatoes with garlic and mayo plus sweet peppers. Then we shared a raspberry Mille feuille and we had a bottle of white Rioja with our meal. Restaurant got pretty full later, we started earlier than usual, 7.30pm, Carlos and Robert are always very welcoming and helpful to poor me and we have never been letdown on our visits here. It was really useful to use two different menus

This was my first time at this restaurant. I received a warm welcome and the restaurant has a lovely family feel. The service was top class and the food was simply exquisite. I would highly recommend. Well worth a visit.
I am already looking forward to our next visit!
Thanks again to Carlos and his wonderful staff.

What an excellent welcome we had here at our first lunch. We look forward to coming back another time for paella as we were recommended to pre-order to avoid having to wait whilst it was being prepared. We had two courses, based on the set lunch choices, although they kindly offered me an alternative from the fresh fish that had just been delivered so I had a delicious monkfish with a lobster sauce and tiger prawns. Chris enjoyed his lambs kidneys. Our mains came with plenty of veg, we had 3 alcoholic drinks, a mixer and tea and coffee and the bill came to £25 per head.

I've been to El Rincon a few times now and every time it has been an absolute pleasure. The staff are very attentive and have always helped me to find something new on the menu to try. If any of my friends ask me for a restaurant suggestion El Rincon is at the top of the list!

I am on holiday from Australia to meet my daughter who lives in Epsom. She used to live in Madrid and we have shared many tapas meals, so after checking reviews and their menus she booked El Rincon. Imagine our surprise when they said there was no tapas as it was Valentine's day Saturday and they had a special menu only. Why didn't they say that when we booked? No mention on their website either.
That said at £32.50 for 3 courses and coffee the meal was good value for money. My starter was really a prawn cocktail with a couple of slices of smoked salmon. OK except there were only 4 small salad prawns.My main course of Steak Diane was average, the vegetables were good. My dessert of lemon cheesecake was very good.
The service was also very good.Guess we will have to go another time to try the tapas!

Very efficient friendly service. Nothing too much trouble, and always the same, whenever you visit. Good food and good size portion. Lovely vegetables served separately.

Fantastic service from the manger. Busy for a week day night. Food quality was good. (Tapas menu)
Other staff member could have been more attentive. A lot of tables had bottles of wine, instead of standing around perhaps topping up glasses and talking to guests.
Overall a great experience

Extremely friendly staff - we were given a very warm welcome when we arrived. We ordered paella and were not disappointed. Freshly cooked to order, more than enough for two of us and absolutely delicious. Wonderful atmosphere in the restaurant and would definitely return.

Went here for dinner last night with my daughter & her partner who have been here regularly & now I know why. What a charming restaurant. I am a tapas fan & was not let down at all. The food is freshly prepared with a lot of TLC & is delicious - we had about 8 different dishes of seafood, meat & vegetarian & each was as great as the next. Atmosphere is wonderful as is the service & due care paid by the owner & his charming staff. Other tapas restaurants could learn a thing or two from this place. Thank you for a wonderful evening - I can't wait to come back! X

Had Tapas here after watching horse racing at Epsom. Every dish was excellent and the staff/owners were very friendly and welcoming. We don't live that close, but we'll go out of our way to eat here again. It was full of regulars too which is always good sign.
