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.

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!

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!

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 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.

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.
