A genuine warm welcome on arrival. Shown to table. If you want a drink, the choice is yours and you are not sat in the bar forcing you to have a drink prior to your meal. Food and variety delicious - it is hard to know what to eat; service excellent, staff all friendly, atmosphere is really nice. You are not rushed and can enjoy a leisurely meal. We are looking forward to our visit on 25 November...

A table for 2 turned into a table for 4, but that was not a problem to the friendly waiter. He was attentive to our group and nothing was too much trouble for him. I was there with 2 visually impaired people, who felt spoilt by the attention they received.
The food was delightful, flavoursome and the portions were of a great size.We were a noisy group and on preparing to leave the restaurant, I apologised for our noise and the disruption we coursed, the waiter told us there was no need to apologise and that we were all welcome back anytime.

We have been living in Epsom Downs for over 20 years and El Rincon's continues to be our favourite restaurant. This is not a fast food outlet. You go here for the complete dining experience. Yes when its busy, sometimes you have to wait, but the waiting is well worth it and your table is yours for the entire evening. In reading some of the other critical reviews, it appears that a small number of people find the service slow? well boo hoo, if you want serving two minutes after you arrive, go to MacDonald's. Perhaps you'll find their salt filled burgers more to your taste. However, if you want something just that little bit special, give El Rincon's a try, I promise, you will not be disappointed. (Try the Garlic & Cream Prawns for starters.) If I have any criticism at all, it would the menu. They could do with changing it occasionally, or perhaps offering 'specials'. If your on a budget, then stay away, this is not the restaurant for you. Basic meals are priced about average, but add on wine, dessert, coffee etc... don't expect much change out of £100. Even so, you'll need to book, especially on Fridays and Saturdays. (PS. Paella to die for!!!)

A truly wonderful gem among so many imitations. I would say traditional Spanish cuisine so don't expect silly foam and other nonsense. And the prices won't get you foaming at the mouth either. You come here for quality freshly cooked food so it's not instant, so if you haven't learnt by now that good things are worth waiting for then this is a very good place to start! Carlos welcomes all with genuine Galician warmth and I want to thank him and all the family. Evening 3 course meal for 2 from set menu and a bottle of house white is under £50 including a tip that is richly deserved. No service charges here, just genuine people and genuine food! Viva El Rincon

Authentic Spanish cooking at its best. We ordered a paella for 6for a family celebration. It was cooked freshly for us and well worth the wait. We were even offered,in true Spanish style, the scrapings of the pan(the best part). A very drinkable Rioja accompanied it and the service was both friendly and professional. Definitely worth a visit

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

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.

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

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.
