I had 4 asada street tacos with a side of rice (my husband had the chicken street tacos) and I must say, it was an incredibly satisfying experience. The food was not just good, but really good! The flavors were perfectly balanced, and each taco was packed with deliciously tender asada meat. One of the things that impressed me the most about this place was its cleanliness. The restaurant was spotless, which added to the overall pleasant dining atmosphere. Additionally, the staff were exceptionally friendly and quick in their service. They were attentive to our needs and ensured that we had a great dining experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for delicious Mexican cuisine in a clean and welcoming environment. I will definitely be returning!

I've had to edit my review over the years. This place has become one of my go-to places and a favorite for friends and family. The Staff is always friendly and the manager, Luis, checks in to make sure everything is going well. The food is good and well priced. Quesabirria will always be my go-to here although the flautas and tacos are always classic. The fried Ice cream is one of my favorite things to get although my friends normally love the Burrito Cheesecake as well. El Rinconsito in Puyallup is a place I can trust to be open late, clean, and have good food whenever I need. Definitely one of my favorite places for dine in or to-go, whatever the occasion, I can trust it's fast and good. Try it!

El Rinconcito in Puyallup has been a local eatery that I hadn't visited in the 2.5 years I've lived in the area but my kids said that it was worth a visit so I decided to give it a try. With a wide variety of eating choices, I went with their street tacos al pastor. The food arrived quickly with just enough time to self-serve a small assortment of their different salsas. The tortillas were freshly homemade and the meat was very tender and flavorful with just the right amount of savoriness and sweetness and with a drop of freshly squeezed lime, the right amount of sourness to brighten the food. The salsa was very good with a good amount of heat but not too much. I'll admit, I also tried both their enchiladas regulares as well as their enchiladas Mexicana, both of which were just as delicious as their tacos, but unfortunately, I ate them before realizing that I forgot to take a picture. All in all, El Reconcito was a nice experience with friendly and prompt service, delicous food, and a variety of additional salsa. I highly recommend this restaurant, especially if you're in the mood for good mexican cuisine late at night as this location is open until 12am daily and even later on Friday and Saturday night.

Great place for a quick lunch. Super good prices. I also highly recommend their party platters. I have ordered them 3 weeks in a row for work meetings. They are always helpful and food is always ready when I arrive. It has been a big hit!

Their birria tacos are so incredibly good I crave them at least three times per week. One thing I suggest to the establishment is that they don’t lay the tacos on top of each other when they’re in the tray because of how warm the food is, when they’re laid like that for a while, the ones on the bottom get soggy.

This was one of the best Mexican restaurants we have been to in a long time. I had the tacos, quesobirria and carne asada. All the food was very good, fresh and well seasoned. The cheesy crust on the quesobirria was my absolute favorite. The mini condiments bar is worth visiting as their sauces are also excellent. A hidden gem in Puyallup for sure. We will be back!
