For entree my husband had the mofongo de churrasco and I had the garlic mashed potatoes with churrasco and lobster. Food was 10/10! Our server was attentive and informative regarding the dishes. Loved this place will definitely be back.“

“Paterson has a lot of good Mexican food and El Rincon has to be somewhere at the top of the list. I am not sure how authentic these nachos cantinero are but they taste amazing. I frequently order their quesadillas de pollo, tamales verde, tamales de Rajas (stuffed with peppers and cheese), and their tacos de bistec. Call them. You won't be disappointed. Btw... their prices are cheap for the quantity of food that your getting.“

San Isidro Mexican • $$

“Was visiting my mom but left her casa hungry. I stopped by looking for authentic mex food and found it. I'm not sure which part of Mexico the family that runs this place is from so I something I'm more familiar so I ordered the chicken quesadilla. It was really good with the chili sauce. Only thing missing was horchata. I washed it down with grapefruit jarrito. I paid in cash not sure if cc accepted. Next time I will see if they have a house special like dish more known in there hometown“

Ramirez Bakery & Restaurant Mexican • $

“Small, no frills, Mexican mom and pop place with baked goods (conchas , pan dulce) and home cooking and Mexican street food (tacos, huaraches, burritos, tortas, sopes etc etc) ... I had the huaraches al pastor ($13) and a jarrito. They were very good, and proper ..the portions were big. I was expecting 1 big huarache but I got 3 small ones, which is good because they were so filling I ate 2 and brought the 3rd home. I would go here again. I want to try the tacos which all the other tables were eating on their lunch hour.“
