I had never been here before and also never eaten tapas, so I was really unsure what to expect. It was a lovely evening. The staff were amazing, ready to answer my questions and very attentive. The food was brilliant. Full of flavour and good portion sizes, everything was cooked to order. I would definitely recommend the paella. As a treat or a special occasion I would definitely go there again.

To be honest we’ve eaten in here 5 or 6 times and this time was not as good as previous visits. The calamari was bland, so different from before…we didn’t finish it. The croquettes didn’t taste the same which have always been a favourite of mine. The wine we chose was great. The following morning our clothes smelt horrible ! Cooking fat. It doesn’t please me to write this as we have always raved about this place but I fear this may have been our last visit. 😞

Delightful informal restaurant. Would be 5* for ambience on a different night but we were there on a quiet Monday. Would be 5* for value too were it not for the cost of living crisis which has pushed up costs massively for the hospitality industry. Excellent, professional and friendly service and everything that came out of the kitchen was delicious. Will definitely return.

I Googled restaurants in Worthing Rincon de Peps came up as one of the best 10. I’ve lived in Worthing 25 years and did not know of this place, so my girlfriend and I thought we give it a try. I have to say I’m so glad we did, the young lady who served us was welcoming and professional. I pre-ordered a Paella, this was served less than 10mins after we arrived and was amazing, the chef a lovely lady came out to check we were happy. This place is a hidden gem! I would not recommend it for fear of not getting a booking to eat there again 😁.

Fantastic food and great value . Only slight criticism is that all dishes are ordered at once on the order form and as such all dishes arrive together .As we had ordered starter dishes we expected these 1st and after a reasonable gap after we had finished these we would expect our main dishes .As such we had a table full of dishes that we had to get through quickly before they got cold . Once all your dishes arrive you are then basically ignored by the staff . To get deserts we had to wave to get attention so we could order . As I said , great food, but the dining experience could have been so much better .
