363 Pitfield Rd, Scarborough, ON M1S 3E5, Canada
Mexican food restaurant
Cute mom and pop Mexican restaurant but the food was a little disappointing with such high review on google. This is my first time visiting at this restaurant and the service was okay, it was order over the counter. The taco wrap is definitely hard to chew. It is taco Tuesday with $3.00 special. I ordered 3 types of tacos - grill chicken, chorizo, el pastor, and the quesabirria. The taco proteins are dry and unflavoured, but it is drenched with dressing and hot sauce. The quesabirria meat is seasoned however the wrap was pulling teeth. There are tables available to eat at but it seems more of a takeout shop. We spent approximately $40.00 for two people.
Had the pozole to go and it was delicious. A generous portion and freshly done tortillas. The radish could be chopped instead of big slices but will request on my next pozole. The restaurant can use some « musica » but it was clean. Can’t wait to try the tacos on Tuesday.
This unassuming establishment was a bit difficult to find, but other than that…I have to say the food was truthfully some the most flavourful, authentic tasting Mexican food I’ve had in the city. The prices are very reasonable, especially for the portion sizes. They have great daily specials too! Incredibly pleased with the Brisket Burrito and the beef nachos. I would recommend this place to anybody in the mood for some home-cooked, authentic Mexican food! Will most definitely be back soon.
My friend and I went for lunch, we randomly found it on google and thought we’d give it a try. We both ordered the quesabirria (< highly recommend this) and The shrimp taco. You could taste that the food was freshly made and the flavour was amazing. I’ve tried multiple Mexican restaurants around the city and this is a hidden gem! The space was very clean and the owner was so nice. It is a small space, if you’re with a larger group I would recommend ordering out, but it’s perfect for 2ppl. I will definitely be coming back!
Decided to give this restaurant a try on a whim. I tried the brisket tacos based on a review. I have to agree, it’s excellent. My husband got to rib special. The fries were good but you get a very small amount. The ribs were so incredibly stale and tough. He was so disappointed. I still recommend folks give this authentic, new, family restaurant a try, the bad ribs could be a one-off or just stick to the tacos to be safe.
Small place with fresh and delicious food. It hit the spot:) definitely coming back to try other items on the menu. It’s a great option in Scarborough if you’re looking for reasonably priced Mexican food.
100% going back!! Authentic! Truly what we were hoping for, We went in for 5pm grabbed 1 of 2 tables at this Mom n Pop feel with wholesome home cooked food. Brisket Tacos were my absolute favourite! I can't wait to try the burritos and full Brisket next time!! Muchos Gracias!!
I discovered El Rincón completely by their Inflatible Cactus Man while at their Pitfield location. Decided to head in when I saw their board had Qesadillas because I love Quesadillas. It was the best Quesadillas I've ever had. I ordered Chicken Quesadillas but you can mix and match with steak too if you want. You get 3 pieces for $15 and they come loaded. The chicken is so good you can taste the grill marks. The store itself is bright and warm and the staff is friendly and will let you sample toppings if you're not sure. I definitely recommend this spot for authentic Mexican food in a plaza already filled with amazing food options.
tried the birria tacos and they were amazing! Will definitely be back to try more
Cashier handled food Tham money
El Rincon Mexican Food at in Scarborough is a fantastic spot for authentic Mexican cuisine! The tacos and burritos are packed with flavor, and the ingredients taste fresh. The cozy atmosphere and friendly staff make for a great dining experience. Highly recommended!
Food delicious and fresh in a fair price, definitely I will go back I recommend Pozzole and the beef Brisket amazing. The personal very friendly.
so cute and yummy food. good vibes
i got a chicken taco and 2 steak taco the meat is unseasoned so load up the toppings.
Every thing was great but the table top was really wonky and moved a lot with little movement
We got the birria tacos and and a fish taco on the side and wow....was soooo delicious....so fresh and very authentic... hidden little gem
Good food. But the information says that they open every day and its a lie, we went 2 days in a row and it closed
A cute mom and pop shop that made my Friday night! Friendly staff and really great, fresh tacos. We had quesabirria, birria, tacos (chorizo, steak snd cactus) and nachos - all delicious! Ill be back for sure :) Vegetarian options: The Cactus and mushroom tacos are a great option!
The best Mexican food I ve had! The owners at the shop are super sweet and kind too. We will definitely be coming back!
The absolute best birria tacos in Canada Ive had, definitely amazing and I would recommend to anyone!! The staff is also amazing!!
For my first visit, the staff were extremely accomodating. I went with my little brother who is quite the picky eater, the staff kindly guided him to a taco hed enjoy. Then shortly after they guided me too! I had ordered 1 order of Quesabirria and 2 chicken tacos, their birria sauce is delightful and the food came out at the perfect temperature to eat. There were a wide variety of sauces and toppings and the menu is quite diverse. I came with intentions to keep my shirt clean but was unsuccessful in that regard. We came in during a hotter time of the year, so the restaurant was noticeably hotter than outside. Not too much of a big deal as when you have a spicy taco the temperature feels normal. Kid-friendliness: Very friendly, all staff do a good job to make sure children and adults feel heard and understood.
Easily one of if not THE best burritos Ive ever had. This place is right mear my work so Im definitely going to start going often. Thanks for the awesome food!
Amazing!!!! The best quesabirria taco!! Will definitely come back!!
Very friendly, delicious food, amazing service, good atmosphere, great prices. 10/10 experience
El Rincón is an authentic Mexican eatery with amazing food (¡que sabor rico!) and equally awesome service. The quesabirria tacos are my favourite! The steak burrito is also yummy. Cynthia is always there and is so warm and friendly. Dine-in or takeaway, you will not be disappointed.

Best quesabirria in the city
Amazing Mexican food! Ive had the burrito bowl, quesabirria, fish taco, and al pastor taco. Everything Ive tried is delicious and the burrito bowl came with 2 protein choices. Would definitely recommend El Rincon to anyone craving Mexican food in the area.
Delicious authentic Mexican food. Highly recommend.
We had steak tacos and the quesabirria tacos. They were both fantastic. The service was great as well. Food : 5/5
Tried their birria tacos and they were soooo good. Cant wait to go back.
Likely one of the best taco places in Scarborough. Birria tacos were delicious and the pickled onions marinated with habanero were fire. Don t sleep on this place!
Great place for a quick bite, a couple tables for sitting, definitely the steak tacos are a must try! Parking: Limited spots
Hidden gem. The quesabirria tacos were some of the best I ve had and it s hard to find good ones in the area. Definitely recommend! Food
This place surprised me, to say the least. I was craving for some tacos while in Scarborough, and this place popped up in the search. I was very skeptical going in here, but oh my wow! they delivered. Its a small shop with limited sitting. They make very flavourful Tacos and have a very nice colorful theme in around the shop as well. You dont wanna miss this hidden gem. Try it out
The food was delicious and the staff were very friendly.
Had steak quesadillas. It was good the fresh veg mix was good , I had the cactus . The sauces were very good . Especially the spicy . I would definitely go again . The steak was a little over done .
Great food! I recommend the brisket tacos and the birria.
