Excellent food. Very welcoming. There is a menu & a tapas menu. We went for tapas. The tapas menu is not too large & quite honestly everything we had was excellent.

I have reviewed this restaurant before but am reviewing again as prompted by Trip Advisor.
My earlier remarks still stand in that it is a very good place to eat Spanish style food and parking is easy. They are very friendly but on the two times we have been again, there were problems.The service was painfully slow and added to that people who came in after us were served first, so that we waited 15 minutes before even being offered a menu and some bread. I thoroughly enjoyed my meal but my partner had whitebait which she felt had been cooked in stale oil as it had a funny taste(or her taste buds were playing up!!!) I am reluctant to complain as I think she was unlucky with the whitebait as I have no complaint at all about the food I had and would certainly go again albeit she won’t(see last paragraphs) The second problem for her was the dessert which was listed as lemon sponge and I have to agree that there was no lemon flavour.
I mentioned the problems when I paid the bill but sadly no compensation or apology was offered.. It would have been good customer service to allow a discount or offer a percentage off a future meal rather than lose customers. The slowness of service and how the manager failed to respond to the issues raised were my only gripes about this otherwise excellent restaurant.

Visited with friends. Nice atmosphere, tables well spaced making for comfortable in crowded seating. Excellent food choices, sadly my companions wanted to eat set Menu ( which was excellent value) so was disappointed not to sample Tapas. Good news is will return with others who will be more adventurous. Very laid back Service but no complaints as refreshing not to feel rushed.

Lovely evening with friends and family. Needed a bit of cheer and it was a lovely place to go. We had an assortment of tapas so tasted a bit of everything and it all tasted good. We were too full to order desserts. Friendly service and nice house wine. It was quiet as it was a week night but strongly advise to book at weekends. In the summer they open up windows and have outside seating. This is my second visit and will be back. We paid about £40 each for aperitif drinks, tapas, wine and Irish coffee. Feel absolutely stuffed

Welcoming friendly service, good house wine and a fantastic, fresh, generously portioned seafood paella. Best restaurant for quality, service and value in the area.

We went on a Saturday Evening with some friends. We have been going to El Rincon for over 20 years, in recent years we have grazed the Tapas menu. The choice is excellent, the food is tasty and fresh. There is a lovely atmosphere in the dining room and the service is always friendly, polite and attentive.

Wide selection of authentic tapas that went down a treat. Stuffed aubergine was my favourite.
And special mention to the maitre d' who was so welcoming and friendly - he helps make the place really great.
I certainly will be back & recommend to others.

A birthday treat from my daughter, and it certainly was a treat.
Great choice of tapas, every dish we chose was delicious. Would have liked to try other dishes, but could not eat any more.
Very friendly service which made up for the rather bland surroundings.
