“We stumbled upon El Rinconcito while exploring Key West and were so glad we did! Tucked away in a strip mall with plenty of parking, this quaint little Mexican restaurant exceeded our expectations.

We started with the chicken nachos, which were absolutely delicious — you can definitely tell they hand-make their corn 🌽 tortillas. Fresh, flavorful, and the perfect way to kick off the meal.

For dinner, our family ordered a variety of dishes: Birria Tacos, a hearty 🌯 Burrito, a cheesy Quesadilla, and Carne Asada — everything was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. You could taste the care and authenticity in every bite.

To top it all off, we had the Flan for dessert, and honestly, it might be the best dessert on the island. Smooth, creamy, and just the right amount of sweetness — definitely better than some of the more well-known local dessert staples!!!

Whether you're a local or just visiting, El Rinconcito is a must-try for anyone craving authentic, homemade Mexican food in a cozy setting. Highly recommend!“

“We stayed down the block at a AirBnB so naturally got coffee and breakfast our first morning. It was so delicious we ate breakfast there every morning except for one (we had to leave for the ferry before they opened, so we ate dinner there that night!) All the food was amazing! Well seasoned, fresh, flavorful, and portions were huge! The coffee was perfect, I really loved the cortadito and milk espreso. The staff was friendly and offered recommendations if needed.“

“I was excited to try the food here after reading all the reviews. The service is great with very friendly staff. The food, however not bad, lacked flavor. I wasn't expecting this from a Caribbean food truck and felt disappointed. The price was also higher than what is shown in the pictures here.
The juice, though, was amazing.“
