Dad’s Café in Antioch is now Rincon Café, with new, husband and wife owners, José Recino and Laura Salguera, venturing into the restaurant business as operators for the first time. But, they both bring with them years of experience. José has been a chef for 22 years and Laura has worked in the restaurant business for 18 years.

They’re keeping the menu the same as Dad’s, but are focused on adding more Mexican dishes. They plan to feature special meals during their Fiesta Fridays.

Rincon Cafe customers enjoy breakfast on Saturday morning, November 21, 2015.

We want everyone to know about our delicious, Mexican food dishes,” Laura said.

Rincon means corner because that’s where they’re located – at the corner of Deer Valley Road and Hillcrest Avenue in Antioch, in the Crossings Shopping Center where Safeway is located.

The restaurant offers inside and outdoor dining on the patio, take-out, catering and private parties.

We’re very excited to be part of the community,” José stated. “We look forward to serving our current customers and meeting new ones.”

Rincon Café serves breakfast, lunch and dinner all day and offers their Hora Feliz! which means Happy Hour, from 2 p.m. to close, each day. The restaurant is open seven days a week from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. Call for reservations or to go orders at (925) 777-0791.

    Congratulations but I hope they do something about the smell in the women’s bathroom.

    A picture of some of the dishes would have been nice.

    That picture of the customers dining was not taken on November 21, 2015, it was a photo taken of Dad’s Cafe many years ago. Dad’s Cafe artwork & old serving/host staff pictured. Nice try, but shame on you Antioch Herald!

      I’m sorry, F.S. But your statement is incorrect. I took that photo on that day.

      The sign may have still said “Dad’s” on the outside of the building, but the new owners had taken over and the name “Rincon Cafe” was written on the sign inside the restaurant, which the new owners and their staff are standing next to in the photo at the top of the article, taken a few minutes later.

      In fact, the server in the center of the photo speaking to the patrons, didn’t work there years ago. She’s new and you can stop by and speak to her, there, today.

      Thank you for reading the Herald online, nevertheless.

    My husband and I had a really scrumptious meal there yesterday. I had a spinach, mushroom & potato enchilada w/cheese sauce…soo good. My husband had chicken crispy tacos and we sampled each others’ food. Really, really good. We’ll be back.
