We went here due to the excellent reviews. I cannot fault how friendly and lovely the staff were. Real family restaurant.
But the tapas just wasn't great quality. Everything was under seasoned and needed salt. Some of the dishes were on the cold side and looked like there had been sitting out for a bit.
I wouldn't be convinced that the food is home cooked. Real shame as lovely people but I wouldn't recommend the food. It's not true authentic tapas for me.

The really good points were my friends steak, friendly waiter, tasty paella and clean restaurant.
After we choose our wine we had to ask for olives ( very small portion between 4) and the bread came in a big basket and you picked it out with your own hands yuck! One piece! Why not a little selection with oil, balsamic or aioli?Sardine starter soggy and only 2, whitebait starter very small.
The mussels in the paella stuck to their shells and tepid but the actual paella tasted great but again not a lot of it.We asked for water and did not receive it.
I think they should have more waiting staff as the head waiter was extremely stressed and this made me feel uneasy.Obviously people love this restaurant as it was extremely busy but it’s not for me sorry El Rincon.

Extensive choice of main meals and tapas to choose from. Maitre'd was very helpful. We each chose 3 or 4 tapas dishes. Excellent in taste and ample in quantity. Homemade puddings were good too. Service was excellent. Would definitely visit again.

Spend a fantastic Jazz evening at El Rincon last Sunday but was quite disappointed about he food.
Had the Jambon which was decent and then tried the paella, which was the dish of the day and it was literally unreadable.
Still annoyed the music and nice neighbourhood atmosphere with some friends.

What a wonderful evening we had at El Rincon restaurant the food was spectacular, the desserts were so yummy we couldn’t choose so we ended up having a selection of everything between our large group. We would thoroughly recommend the restaurant and the atmosphere was great too!

Loved it! Don't normally leave reviews but I was so impressed. The atmosphere was buzzing - the restaurant was full & people were chatting animatedly - not a mobile phone in sight! The waiters were cool & laid back whilst at the same time engaging & tolerated out eclectic eating style - typical grazing! The standard of the cuisine was superb some of the best tapas I had ever tasted. Lovely family restaurant. Will definitely be back!

We had a party of 23 for lunch at this restaurant. They did a great job of serving us all in a timely fashion and the food was very good. The proprietors made us very welcome.
