   Fantastic food and service. Loved it all. Paella was fire and so was everything else… we had octopus, pork belly, jamon croquette and the tortilla. The girl serving us was lovely. Thankyou!

   Great Spanish restaurant! I loved every detail from the beautifully patterned tiles to the music. Incredible service! And really good food. My favourites were the morcilla and the mushroom croquetas. The tortilla tasted good but I’d recommend making it a bit juicier but it’s a personal preference. I’ll visit you again 💃

   Hi Alexandra, Thank you so much. We're glad you loved the atmosphere, service, and food, great choices with the morcilla and croquetas. Appreciate your feedback on the tortilla; we’ll keep it in mind. Hope to see you again soon for another taste of Spain.

   Our flight from Sydney to Melbourne was delayed so we called the restaurant and Alex said they would keep the kitchen open for us. We ordered over the phone and everything was ready when we arrived. Alex made an off- menu cocktail for us too. The service throughout was amazing, especially Raquel who was really attentive and just wanted us to have a nice evening after the stress of the flight. The food is awesome and great value and there are some smashing wines on offer. Thank you Alex and Raquel and the whole El Rincon team for a delicious welcome to Melbourne!

   This was a repeat visit for lunch. We were 4pp and had seafood paella (for 2pp - was plentiful to satisfy our appetite), crispy roast pork, crumbed calamari rings (v fresh), and garlic prawns. All very yummy. Service was great and cheerful, always attentive enough. Would have loved to add the harmony plate but were too full by then. Will surely come back again for great spanish food.

    Highly recommend this restaurant for anyone wanting to eat authentic good Spanish food. As someone who was born in Spain, the flavours of the dishes takes me back to my family’s kitchen. The food and service quality was truly exceptional, I can't wait to go back when I am back in Melbourne. Muchas gracias Rafael, por tu buen servicio. Hasta la próxima vez.
