El Mercadito Rincón Mexicano is a family-owned restaurant located in a hidden spot within the International Market Place in Kona. Known as a go-to place for authentic Mexican food on The Big Island, it offers traditional dishes cooked in a genuine way. The restaurant is praised for its friendly staff who make guests feel like family. Popular menu items include quesadillas, carnitas taco plates, and the wet chicken burrito with chilli verde, which is often mentioned as a favorite. The rice and beans are well-seasoned, and the tortillas are heated to perfection. The guac and salsa are consistently enjoyed, with some reviewers noting the salsa can be mild or spicy. Portions are generous, and prices are reasonable, making it a great spot to enjoy flavorful Mexican meals. While some dishes like carne asada may have less flavor, overall, the food is considered delicious and better than many other options in Hawaii. Despite its modest appearance in a small food court, El Mercadito Rincón Mexicano is highly regarded as a hidden gem for authentic Mexican cuisine.
