El Rinconcito is a charming restaurant with a friendly staff, who make an effort to check in on customers. The kitchen offers a variety of Mexican dishes, such as pastor and barbacoa tacos, shrimp burritos, and beef soup. The tacos are street-style, served with chopped white onion and cilantro, and the barbacoa tacos are a standout. The restaurant also features a digital DJ and slot machines, adding to its unique atmosphere. However, the music can be quite loud in the small dining area.
Accessibility may be a concern for some, as the ramp to the front door is steep. Prices are affordable, with most tacos priced at $3-$4, and the quesadillas and fajita plate are also popular choices. While the margaritas are just okay, the beer selection is a good choice. The restaurant may only accept cash, but they have an ATM on-site. Overall, El Rinconcito is a hidden gem that offers authentic Mexican food and great service at reasonable prices.
