El Rinconcito II: Reviews & Ratings
The food is great, but let me talk about the service first. This place has so much class. The servers are so friendly and are more than happy to explain the menu to you. The place is clean and very hip. Going here just makes me happy.
As a Californian, I've struggled to find a great burrito in DC. This was great for the area!
Pretty delicious! Prices were higher than i'd like but so are other DC restaurants in the area. The food wasn't mind-blowing, but definitely hit the spot and was delicious. Comfort food with a margarita. Pupusa combo is a must!
Got food to go! Will go again the food was filling and comforting. Recommend the burrito if you are high (review from a friend).
El Rinconcito is a cute neighborhood Salvadoran and Tex-Mex cafe in Columbia Heights. Came here on an early Sunday morning for brunch and it was pretty crowded. - The desayuno tipico with chorizo ($16) which came with scrambled eggs, avocado slices, plantains (crispy!), two corn tortillas, refried beans, block of Salvadoran cheese (tasted like heavy feta), and sour cream. - El Rinconcito is probably know for their pupusas and they did not disappoint! There are lots of fillings you can choose from and the one with meat, beans, and cheese was super flavorful and came with a side of slaw - The Mariscada Salvadorena ($19) (seafood soup) came with two tortillas too. It tasted fresh and came with lots of shrimp, squid, mussels, and even crab! You can choose to get the cream on the side (I like the soup better with cream and soak the tortilla in it)
My favorite pupusa joint in DC! Their quality is second to none, and the food is well priced. You are also able to sit down and eat. I always go for the pupusa combo, however have been told the seafood soup cures all hangovers!
Popped in unexpectedly while on a walk and so glad I did! Really enjoyed a bean and cheese pupusa, corn tamale (fried) with crema and horchata.
