Authentic Mexican fare, standout birria tacos & horchata
"Rincon has hands down the best Mexican food in Somerville. You can’t go wrong with anything on the menu here, like the rich cabeza tacos and large bowls of pozole, but there are two clear standouts: the citrusy, deeply savory cochinita pibil tacos and their sweet cinnamon horchata that’s almost as thick as a milkshake. The staff are warm and friendly, and it’s a pretty ideal place for a quick lunch or weekday dinner." - tanya edwards, lala thaddeus, catherine smart

"This East Somerville staple has a vast menu, which includes a no-fuss version of tacos al pastor: smoky, juicy pork, bits of pineapple, cilantro, and onion. Voila. Rincon is open for indoor dining and takeout."
"I haven’t done enough exploration of East Somerville’s renowned Mexican food scene as I tend to default to Taco Loco when I’m in the mood, but our quesabirria map inspired me to finally check out Rincón Mexicano, and I will absolutely order from here again and again. Wish it hadn’t taken me so long to try it. Definitely get the birria tacos for as long as they’re available (they’re a special.) —RLB Currently offering takeout and indoor dining.

"A popular East Somerville taqueria whose quesabirria tacos are next-level: cheesy, meaty, and dipped into a rich consomé; the quesabirria is a special you must order by phone or in person, and a useful tip is to add the onion-and-cilantro mix to the consomé so it doesn’t fall out and so you can drink the savory broth at the end." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
