Have been to both locations. Rincon Tapatio is absolutely the best Mexican food I've ever had. Even just getting a side of beans, the beans are more flavorful than any other beans I've had with Mexican food. The rice is also outstanding, some of the best Mexican rice I've ever had. The chalupa is insanely big for only 6. The street tacos were also absolutely fantastic with great salsa verde.

As a Family of 5 on a Saturday, at 2pm during Alumni weekend at GU we were seated quickly. They provide healthy servings even for the kids menu. Staff is friendly, attentive, and efficient. Highly recommend if you are in the area. There is a small selection of American Food for those.

Everything was delicious and MASSIVE portions! And the salsa that comes out with the chips definitely has a kick to it! I didn’t get a photo of my chicken chimichanga (eating some of my leftovers now) but here’s my husbands massive dish of pollo rancheros- I think is what it’s called. His came with tortillas as well, not pictured. I also got a strawberry margarita to go - holy moly they don’t hold back on the liquor! That was a good damn margarita! Definitely recommend!!

This place is small and nondescript, but what it lacks in atmosphere it surely packs a punch in terms of taste! I ordered from their Specials menu and got something termed "Plato Grande" (yeah, "big plate" literally LMAO) which they named "Martin's Special". It was a HUGE platter that could've actually been shared, so I had plenty of leftovers since I ordered it under the assumption of receiving individual portions! It came with THREE proteins: shrimp, sirloin steak and grilled chicken breast. The succulent and tender shrimp was absolutely bathed in a silky red sauce with mushrooms, onions, garlic, butter and spices while the steak and chicken were grilled to perfection. The platter also came with refried beans, Spanish rice, guacamole, mole, lettuce, chunky salsa, green salsa verde, and sour cream. Very authentic with NO cheddar or Monterey jack-style shredded cheese in the mix to appeal to American taste sensibilities—just a little sprinkle of Mexican goat cheese shaved on top of the refried beans. Of course as in all Mexican restaurants it came with a complimentary order of salsa and warm house-made tortilla chips while awaiting the main course. I also treated myself to a Gigantic 1800 "Prickly Pear"-flavored margarita. The atmosphere could use some help, but the food is about as close to ideal as one could experience. 4.5

Friendly and inviting staff. The food is great and if you're in a hurry the food is quick too. Prices are reasonable. Service is top notch every time. If you're in the area forba Gonzaga game day, add this to your stop.
