“ Early morning stop going to the river in the summer or coming back from Glamis in the fall/ winter. Get yourself a Cadillac margarita and the huevos rancheros. You just can't beat it. So bomb. ”
“ Come here almost every time I am in Coachella Valley. Patricia is always so accommodating. The chilaquiles are some of the best I've had and my dad always gets the menudo. ”
“ I was staying nearby for a concert, and wanted to try a Mexican breakfast that all the locals eat at. This was the right place! It was packed and I definitely see why. The food is amazing! I had the shredded beef nachos. It comes with a mild red sauce on top. The nachos were so flavorful. Definitely enough to share. My husband had a combo plate with chicken enchiladas and a chile relleno. He loved his meal. The chips and salsa were great and the service was very attentive. We were constantly given refills on our iced tea. This is a casual, family friendly spot. I'll definitely be back! ”
“ I have been coming here for over 30 years. Rincón Norteño is a small casual Mexican restaurant that has been in the Valley since 1964. Their salsa is amazing, it's not your typical cold salsa it is served warm homemade tortilla chips. I always usually sit at the counter so I can watch football or basketball and be close to my server. I order either the chili Verde or the green chicken enchiladas combination plates. I get both the rice and beans. Rincon has the best rice it's moist. A lot of Mexican restaurants serve it very dry and I appreciate the fact they don't. I love their refried beans. Every time I am in the valley, I make sure to stop by and enjoy a meal and place an order for salsa to go. ”
“ ****** HoT Salsa ****** ( temperature-wise ) Excellent Food ! This place has been recommended .. to me .. by several people over the years. It's a diner-esque atmosphere .. but all the people are warm & friendly here. It's just so lovely to experience, I made several changes to my Huevos Rancheros and they were able to accommodate me with no problem at all. Instead of 2 eggs like they normally do .. I requested 3 eggs and for not much more .. Prices are Phenomenal ! You will not get regular red looking salsa here with your chips. Never seen this before. I requested something "red looking" and the solution was Salsa Fria ( cold salsa ).... How strange is that ? Lol Salsa Fria is AMAZING taste wise so make sure you ask . . I can taste the lard in the beans .... That's probably why they taste so good .. haha ”
“ Mixed experience, but mostly good. We ordered a combo plate with a beef taco and an enchalata and a Gaffina con Venduras burrito (chicken with vegetables). The burrito was delish. Lots of tasty shredded chicken. The vegi was sliced green peppers and tomatoes - not what I was expecting, but tasted pretty good also. The enchalata was very good. The beef in the taco was dried out and tough. Both dishes came with refried beans and rice. The beans were excellent - smooth and creamy. The rice was, well, rice. We may be back to try some of the less traditional dishes. ”
