I was introduced to this restaurant about a year ago, having complained to a colleague that there was nowhere to eat around Epsom. This is truly a little gem. The food is outstanding, the prices reasonable, and the hospitality wonderful. I often come here by myself, and made welcome as a 'regular'. My calamari has just arrived, so I have to go..... Damn!

Charming restaurant, white tablecloths, carpeting and homely atmosphere. Attentive and friendly staff and good selection on the set menu. Good food freshly cooked, hot and well presented. Very enjoyable and would thoroughly recommend. Well done to them - couldn't be faulted.

We've been visiting El Ricon for over a dozen years now. A great meal every time. Clientele tend to be middle aged plus. Food and drink always brilliant and reasonably priced. The best kidneys anywhere. Great selection of taps. Jose is happy to let you go off the menu if it is not too busy. Well worth a visit.

We visited this restaurant for the first time last week and can say it was one of the nicest meals I have had in a long time.
The food is traditional home style Spanish food, and cooked by Spanish chefs, and I have a sneaking suspicion the head chef is the owners wife.
We chose the tapas menu and had 2 rounds of main courses 5 in the first round and 2 in the second. I highly recommend the prawns with garlic dip, and the Chorizo cooked in cider is AMAZING!
The Ribera wine we chose was also excellent (recommended to me by my Spanish colleague). For desert we both had the home-made lemon cheesecake which was lovely, extremley light and refreshing.
The service is also first class and very friendly. The owner comes round and chats with everyone and can't do enough to help.
The coffee is also spot on. No Starbucks crap here!
All in all 9.5/10, only slight issue is the price but then again we did order too much!

Visited this restaurant last night with a group of 15 women. Service was friendly and we felt neither rushed nor kept waiting. We had menu 1 which was excellent value and everyone appeared to enjoy their food. I had the mussels as a starter and pork in a blue cheese, wine and cream sauce. Both were delicious. This was my first visit and I will definitely be back!

I and my wife usually visit this restaurant 3-4 times a year (only because it's a bit of a journey from where we now live) but every time we have a lovely evening :) food is delicious, great wine list, staff are very friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is great if you want a romantic meal or friendly evening. 'Not recommended for business meetings in the evening!!!' Last time we visited their were a silly middle aged couple with blue prints, charts, note pads etc
Holding a little meeting with their loud voices (not sure who they were trying to impress?) but the restaurant can't be blamed for dimwits like them :) you don't go to a romantic restaurant for a business meeting do you?We must have been 25-30 times and that was the first time we had a problem, but as it was with guests not the restaurant I can't blame the staff.
To sum up 100% lovely Spanish restaurant :) we will be back
