After having to reschedule 3 times in the evening due to the chaos caused by the "gay pride" gridlock in London, we finally reached the restaurant about 22:15 The chef was standing by to prepare our orders. They did not clear the kitchen because they knew we were coming. Carlos greeted us and made us feel like long lost friends. The food was perfect, the service efficient, polite and friendly, we were not rushed despite arriving minutes before closing. We felt as if we were family before we left. I would eat here every day if it were not so far from home. However we are planning trips to the area so we can eat there again! The cuisine is Spanish so I have ticked a no to local cuisine question.

A gem of a restaurant at Tattenham Corner, minutes from the Downs and the railway station. An excellent menu for both lunch and dinner make this venue a very enjoyable experience

Nice enough place with friendly welcoming staff. We shared tapas meal which was good but just one or two things could be improved. Very busy Friday night but service good although food could have been a bit warmer. One or two requests forgotten but quickly put right. Decent light draft lager which went well with food.

Very friendly staff. A wide selection of food to chose from. Authentic Spanish cuisine.
Food tasted fresh and well prepared. Home made Desserts finished off our evening.
Would recommend.

Went as a group of four women on Friday night. The service was excellent, order taken in a reasonable time and food arrived without us having to wonder where it it had got to, but reassuringly not too quick! Nice atmosphere. Highly recommend this restaurant.

As soon as we went Into the resturant the staff were very welcoming, and helpful especially as we were first time visiting. The waiter made some very helpful recommendations off the menu, and the food had great flavours. We will def be visiting again soon.

Went here for a meal and a catch up with our friends. Haven't been here for years, and pleased to see it was still owned by the same family. Food is excellent, and a lovely atmosphere with super friendly staff.

We have been to El Rincon a couple of times.
The first visit was great. Superb food and service just right. Not to rushed but reasonably attentive. We were one of 3 tables that night.The second visit was not so good
The food was again superb and the restaurant spotless but with the restaurant just under half full, the two waiters struggled.We asked for olives on our arrival, asked 4 more times and eventually got them a minute before our order arrived.
When we had finished, we waited about 10 minutes for the plates to be cleared, which is just about OK and then a further 25 minutes for the desert menu.Clearly, they need an additional waiter or perhaps less chat with mates around the bar area.
We will certainly try one more time in case our last visit was an aberration but if this is normal service (as noted in a couple of other reviews), we wouldn't return.Finally, I echo the comments about picking out one small piece of bread from a basket - A small selection with some olive oil etc would be far more in keeping with the Spanish way.

I can't think of what to write, except you must go here and try out this amazing restaurant. The food is too authentic, with flavours to die for, and some lovely wine to help wash it all down.
A great family owned restaurant that you will want to visit again and again (trust me!)
