El Rincón de Julio

• ★★★★★

  ​A charming gem with incredible food and family history! We made reservations for El Rincon de Julio, and it absolutely exceeded our expectations. The restaurant has a wonderfully charming atmosphere, but the service truly made the night. Marco took fantastic care of us and was incredibly kind and patient with our broken Spanish. ​We ordered the tomatoes, jamón, mother-in-law's croquettes, and the oxtail. Everything was delicious, but the croquettes were next-level; perfectly crispy on the outside while creamy and savory on the inside. Marco told us the recipe was passed down from his grandmot

  Came to Europe for a couple of weeks through France (Paris, Lyon) and Spain (Madrid, Valencia, Granada). We stopped by this restaurant in Granada because we had been hunting for highly rated and recommended restaurants online. This was one of the best we've been to. We highly recommend the chicken croquettes. We also ordered the albondigas and the octopus - the flavor and texture of both were excellent. Additionally, the atmosphere is really welcoming. Julio and his chef are both nice and friendly people. The food was amazing and the price was very affordable. This is one of the places I hope

  Booked ahead as advised by other reviewers. Intimate dining experience, a few outdoor seating available and mostly inside. The restaurant was efficiently ran by Julio and the chef.

  El Rincón de Julio is a must stop while you’re in Granada! Make a reservation, super easy to do through WhatsApp, and enjoy! We ordered the Croquetas caseras de cocido de mi suegra (mother in laws croquettes), which were a mix of cod croquettes and ham and chicken. They were delicious!! We had the rabo de toro (ox tails) and the coronal estilo tradicional (ham hock). They were absolutely perfect. The ox tails were so tender and juicy. The ham hock literally fell off the bone when the plate moved. Both were served with some of the best potatoes. We asked Julio which wine would be best with our

  Food was delicious and service was excellent! We came early and let us sit in the shade. The food is worth waiting for. The octopus and oxtail was well worth our trip. Didn’t have any of the mother in law’s croquettes unfortunately but opted for cod as per Marco’s recommendation - was really good! Overall would recommend and bring my family and friends here thank you!
