El Rincón del maíz

Few things, Friday at 6:30pm. They were short staffed and it's not too busy being a new place. We were patient, and food was understandably slow to come out of the kitchen. My husband got all his food, my tacos and entree were forgotten, and they comped the tacos. We gave up on my entree at about 7:30ish (they close at 7pm) and they removed those from our bill. Tacos are good here, best part and the savory tamales too. We mentioned it to staff for review on what we didn't like. I hope they improve, because they have potential. 4 tacos, 1 comped taco, 1 entree and 4 tamales with 2 horchatas $58

Yummy! I had the Boricua taco on cilantro tortilla and the Birria taco on regular corn tortilla and a guava and cheese tamale, they were all very very delicious! I was served quickly and was given great service by the staff! I can’t wait to be back to try other items on the menu!

Delicious and well thought out menu. Shared the tostada ap and what a delight. The switch to plantain from tortilla made it so fresh and interesting. Puerto Rican style taco with bits of fried plantain was exceptional. Green chili tamale (not shown) was also really great - banana leaf was ra special. Not Tex Mex on our “famous” Mckinney street row of Tex Mex. I wish it was in downtown Denton, but as good as the food is then I think their location may not matter for their success. If you have been missing Boca 31 then get your bottom over to el Rincón. Fresh and clean atmosphere.

The curb appeal could use some work; but, the inside is tastefully designed, and the food is even more delicious! We had hibiscus agua frescas, the queso & tostada apps, quesabirria, a tamale, and a couple tacos. Everything was 🤌🏼

Unfortunately the service really took away from the food experience, although some of my friends were not fans of the food either. They brought us one little "can" of chips, of which 2/3 were crums. When I asked for more, they said no. I asked if I could pay for more and they offered "chips and guacamole" - so no, "no chips for you". Then when the food came out, it was one person at a time... about 5 min apart. And then mine was about 10 min after the last, so everyone was able to watch me eat! Excuse was kitchen was slammed but there was maybe 20 people in the place that is for a hundred? I may give them another try in a couple of months for the good food, but hopefully the service will drastically improve and they will figure out that chips are cheap, reviews are expensive!
