While the service can be slow at times, the food there more than makes up for it. You wont find pre-processed junk microwaved and dumped on your plate as you will up the road at Over the Border. Their sandwiches are wonderful, but the Pambosa is top of the heap. Ignore the fact you will get red sauce on your fingers and grab a stack of napkins, as youll be too absorbed with the flavors. My bf and I slip in to eat dinner here about once a month because of the friendly people, the agua de horchada, the delicious tres leches cake, and the authentic food that arrives on our plate after we order. Definitely worth the trip, and a good deal for the money.

I work in Kennett Square and eat Mexican food there about once a week, but I live in Downingtown. One of my favorite Mexican meals is chicken quesadilla. I have become spoiled by the quesadillas in Kennett Square -- the flavors and mix of ingredients are excellent and I cannot match them at home. The quesadilla I bought last night at Rincon Tarasco was smaller than I expected, more expensive than I expected, and it was very plain. I was really looking forward to having good Mexican food close to home. No luck.

The Best food! If You know. What a really. Authentic. Means! Food. Takes a little Extra time when is made to the order, I never had a food so fresh. And even better nothing taste the same and for all those the didnt eat there. Yet. Go you are going to love a real Mexican food! And for all those the dont like this restaurant. And think the taco bell is Mexican. Food or Chi chis chilis Don Pablos or on the. Border is authentic Mexican food. Then you are missing all the flavor

This was my first time trying the food here. I lived in Michoacan Mexico for several years, and I have tried many Mexican restaurants in Chester county , looking for a decent place to get food comparable to real Mexican food. I have finally found it. So far, this has been the best place for mexican food outside of actually going to mexico. Thank you, I enjoyed my Mothers day treat from my kids. We will be going back.

Ive been here three times now and havent had a bad meal yet. Their tortas are way tasty (get the one with hotdogs on it, seriously). They also give you fresh salsa and chips at your table and if you ask nicely, theyll bring the special hot stuff from the back. Its hard to find Mexican food in the area, much less good Mexican food, so dont hesitate to eat here. Support your local restaurateurs and enjoy an evening out.

Home style, homemade and no corners cut. Mexican food the way it should be. Seems to be family run and cooked to order. The tacos are fantastic, fajita mix was wonderful. Homemade tortilla chips great salsa, pico they did keep it kind of light on the spice since were gringos if you like spice ask for more jalapenos all this plus great price and free margarita on the rocks :-)

This is the kind of place where you order guacamole and they go in the back and start cutting avocados. Everythings fresh, wait staff are great. If youre the kind of person that can appreciate good mexican food over taco bell I recommend you give Rincon a try. I would put Senoritas in WC as a close 2nd.

If you want fresh, authentic Mexican food, this is it! The portions are filling, and I want to drink the salsa verde its so good. Casual eat-in or take-out. Credit or cash.

Food was good and authentic. Ingredients were fresh and no over powering spices...nice balance. The service was a bit slow though and not very friendly.

The food is excellent. If you live in near Downingtown or Exton, this only place to go for authentic Mexican food. They even have horchata!

Food was good, but plain, lacked Mexican flavoring. Waitress was slow - couldnt keep a simple water glass filled.

The HORCHATA (rice water) is homemade liquid happiness. I am in love with its simple freshness.
