Authentic Home-Style Mexican Cooking
in San Jose, CA
Welcome to El Rincon de Rita, a local San Jose restaurant serving authentic Mexican food made with fresh ingredients and traditional recipes. From tacos de canasta to classic favorites, we focus on bold flavors, friendly service, and food that keeps our community coming back.
Every morning, our kitchen begins with intention - prepared with care, tradition, and heart. Inspired by a mother’s humble but unforgettable cooking in Mexico, our founder carries forward a love for food that began in childhood, when even simple meals brought comfort, joy, and a deep sense of home.
Today, that same spirit lives here in San Jose, California. Each dish is made with love, tasted before it leaves the kitchen, and served as if it were for our own family. Our goal is that every customer leaves happy, reminded of the warmth of their village, their roots, and the feeling of a meal made from the heart.
