I have been to this family run restaurant a few times, with my last visit in August for a birthday meal, The staff are friendly and welcoming and the atmosphere is chilled out. The food is fantastic and all freshly cooked, with the most amazing desert trolley. give it a try you will not be disappointed.

The owner himself welcomes u n talks to u, makes u feel comfortable, which in most places its all about getting the customers in, paying the bill n out.

I regularly visit this family run restaurant. The greeting from Joe, Carlos and the team is always so welcoming and the service is first class. The food is amazing from the tapas to the paella. Always have a great time and would thoroughly recommend you visit soon!

Yes ...... we've returned, although not as much as we'd like to.
Fantastic food, clean and tasteful surroundings, a small friendly team and Carlos always has a smile while incorporating time to speak with the customers.Paella is to die for, but remember to pre-order when you book. The liver Tapas dish is absolutely delicious, but in general there's nothing on the menu we won't order.
Desserts look fab, but we've only managed to squeeze it on one occasion. Will be back soon, providing they can accommodate us considering the Christmas party season is fast approaching.

In December 2016, FridayFishClub said about El Rincon
'Friday Fish Club' have voted El Rincon our 'Top Restaurant' for 2016. Friday Fish Club are a group of friends that meet at least once a month, on a Friday, in different restaurants around the Epsom area. In addition to having fun our main aim is to find restaurants that offer good service, ambiance, offer value for money but most importantly serve high quality fish dishes. El Rincon, in our opinion after trying lots of restaurants in the area, was the best scoring against these attributes in 2016. The three things that made El Rincon stand out were, number one, the quality of the fish dishes, whether the prawn with garlic and chili tapas, the amazing mussels in white wine sauce through to some absolutely delicious skate that was lovely and moist, just falling off the bone, which we had on our last visit. Naturally Joe the chef, is clearly the main reason why the quality is so good but as was explained the regular sourcing of fresh high quality fish plays an important part to. The second reason we chose El Rincon to win our award was the quality of the service. Carlos particularly has a knack of making everyone who visits feel special , offering excellent advice about their signature dishes whilst also ensuring dishes such as the whitebait were prepared in a way to keep our gluten free member of the club happy. Then value for money was the third reason El Rincon won our award. In many restaurants, certainly in central London the cost would typically be double for what El Rincon charge and the quality of food and wine no where near El Rincon's standard. If you are after a great evening out with friends or family, want what we consider to be the best quality fish dishes in the area, together with exceptional value for money and attentive service in a warm, welcoming, family run restaurant that cares about its customers, then El Rincon we think is the perfect place to go..

My fiancé and I just got home from this wonderful restaurant and we couldn't be happier. After getting a call back from them we decided to go and weren't disappointed! The staff are lovely and friendly and really made our evening. It was very homely and the decor felt appropriate. What's more is that it's wheelchair accessible as are the toilets which could be updated and re-painted but it serves its purpose.
We shared a jug of sangria (home made recipe) which was gorgeous, sweet and refreshing. We were also offered some lovely fresh bread.
The dishes are very good value for money, ranging from £5-7 per dish and they are generous portions!
We then ordered calamari in batter, prawns in batter, monkfish in batter, mushrooms in a cream sauce and pork marinaded in paprika which was lovely and piping hot. After more people began to arrive things took a little more time, but it's to be expected.
We then ordered aubergines in tomato sauce, stuffed peppers in tomato sauce and meatballs in tomatoes sauce which again was all lovely and piping hot.
To finish my fiancé had a Spanish imported chocolate cheesecake and its definitely not what you'd expect! Lovely but not overly sweet and different. Overall we left very happy and full which is always a good thing in my book and will definitely be returning.

After hearing great reviews from people, I decided this restaurant would be worth a mothers day visit. From the moment we set foot in the restaurant, the atmosphere immediately allowed us to feel at home. There is no doubting the owners are genuine people, with a love and passion for serving authentic Spanish food. We can't wait for our next visit.

Its been a while since my Husband and I have had the opportunity to grab some time to go out together. So we thought we'd pay a visit to our favorite Spanish restaurant. We booked a table and pre-ordered the amazing paella. If you like this dish, you'll just love it Electric Ricon style, as its cooked to perfection. They do a new pate starter which is a beautifully flavoured taste of the sea. Personally I'm not a wine lover, but as I was the designated driver, my husband tried a bottle of the new white Rioja - recorked for taking home. I tried a little sip and it wasn't bad. Light, fruity, crisp and a great choice with the paella.
Carlos as usual was very attentative and always has time for a quick chat.Looking forward to our next visit.
