El Rincón

Great carnitas! I recommend the plates and combos, and always extra salsas because they're so good but they only give you like two.

Carnitas El Rincón serves up delicious and authentic Mexican dishes with fantastic service, making it a must-visit for any food lover.

Great and quick service through door dash, everything was tasty

Best carnitas in the South Bay. Probably whole Bay Area but don’t tell anyone so they are ruined like the ones in Gilroy. Tasty and great service

I love the carnitas I never go any where else but here always tell my family and friends to come here..... never disappointed

Best pork carnitas. The ladies working there were extremely nice today, very good customer service.

I get take out at least 1 to 2 times a week super delicious

Great food reasonable prices made to order and very tasty

Carnitas on point and their salsas are spicy just the way we like em

Love this place! U can order to have no fat!

Carnitas to die for. Knowing some Spanish will help.

The best no fat cooked fully taste fenomenal

Carnitas are unbelievably amazing! Felt like I was back in Michoacán, Mexico! I forget the lady who attended me but she was phenomenal. She took great care of me with anything I needed to make sure I enjoyed the meal! Definitely worth a visit once a week!

Best Carnitas ever

Was reading the reviews so I thought I'd take my chance I'm always up for some good carnitas that are tender usually they're too deep fried or hard, these were so tender perfectly sesoned, juicy and overall fantastic 👌😋👏 do not hesitate they are so so good.

This place was recommended to me by a friend and it did not disappoint. The person that helped us was very friendly and helped us through the menu, even gave us a free sample of the skin. We were warned about how spicy the jalapenos were and they turned out to be spicy but very delicious. The Alum Rock location is right around the corner from my house but they have 3 or 4 different locations around San Jose. I'll definitely be back to the Alum Rock location soon.

The carnitas here, for me, are the best in San Jose. The flavor is really good.

This lil hole in the wall serves up above average craft style pork carnitas and salsas at reasonable prices. Carnitas make an awesome pre-party appetizer and they go a long way.

Carnitas El Rincón offers mouth-watering, authentic Mexican dishes in a warm and inviting atmosphere, making it a must-try for any food lover.

One of the best carnitas in town.

Love their food and salsas! Dine-in option but I never have. Great serviceas well! It's a busy so parking may be taught but we'll worth it.

very tasty carnitas at an affordable price, might have some difficulty communicating menu and cashier speak Spanish only just point at pictures 😅 The place is very small, get it to go

If you ever wanna try some of the best carnitas this is the right place ! Soooo good ! Ask for pickled jalapeños, those are the best 👌

This place is a bit small and you feel unsure when you walk by it. It seems like it might not be open but we still gave it a try. Its been a few days and we are still kicking lol. Needless to say, you guys have to try it, their dishes are really good. I always appreciate a fully served salsa bar. If had to choose the one thing that made my visit a nice experience, I would have to say the service. They guys have a cool attitude and they all smile when they welcome you in. I will sure be back again soon.

One of the best carnitas restaurants!!!

Great place to get carnitas

Habanero salsa is the best.

Delicious like always

The food was great. It’s a small eatery and the ambience is not that great but the food was so authentic.

They use to have coupons that were great. That's what got me to go here a couple years ago. I did take out. I didn't have to wait long.

I ordered 1 lb of mixed carnitas, they were nice and warm and tasted delicious. Good portion that will feed up to 4 people, everyone wore a mask and the place was clean with gel to clean your hands.

Carnitas are a little dry. Didn't expect to have half of my meat to be skin. Beans were good but rice was also dry. They do give a lot of corn tortillas.

Food is great. However I give 3stars because when you ask for a Burrito they always have something negative to say. It always seems like they don’t like making the burritos if that’s the case just take it off the menu. Always go to get carnitas here but poor customer service. I rather drive the extra miles to keys for better service

Good carnitas but not is to find parking

I ordered 1 lb of carnitas mixtas, meat was tender and juicy, too bad that is was soo salty. It ruined the whole experience. If you find the right balance of seasonings, you can have a winner. Until then, Ill skip the salt lick.

Basic carnitas. Not exactly welcoming to güeritos. I just came out of Michoacán so I may have a high standard for taste and kindness.

I was waiting and made eye contact with 2 of the workers, and they never asked if we needed to take our order. But they helped the lady behind us. Just because I don't look Hispanic doesn't mean I'm not. Very disappointing.
