El Mercadito Rincon Mexicano, located in Kona's International Market, is a popular spot for Mexican food. With a simple and solid menu, it has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. The street tacos and chicken tostada are standouts, and the bean and cheese burrito is highly recommended. The enchiladas, nachos, and chili relleno are also favorites, with generous portions of rice and beans. The restaurant uses premium ingredients, so orders aren't overloaded with sauce, and the food reflects authentic Mexican flavors. The chili relleno is loaded with cheese and just spicy enough, and the enchiladas are filled with lots of chicken. Corn tortillas are thick and sturdy, not falling apart easily. The inclusion of a small green salad and a slab of sour cream with the enchiladas adds to the meal. Despite the busy atmosphere and potential for long lines, service is efficient and friendly. The restaurant's location in the market adds to its charm, making it a hidden gem for those craving Mexican cuisine. It is easily accessible in Kona, with a food court entrance around the back that is well patronized.
