#Update 5/24/2022 — pupusas de queso para llevar! Que Rica Comida! Y no tan caro! ? The best pupusas in the NW DC quadrant!This eponymously named “Little Corner” restaurant sits just enough patrons, including a few bar stools, to make a simple weekend lunch feel like a Fiesta con Familia!With a flair for Comida Latina, especially from El Salvador ??, there is plenty of La Vida Feliz to meet everyone’s particular “el disfrute” wish. Pupusas, tacos al carbon, fajitas, nachos… the standard fare expected and well-glamored… and thusly prepared finely by a hidden kitchen that certainly possesses the culinary culture deeply ingrained.Mi Contessa had two chicken enchiladas (“rojas”) which she found to be quite delicious and served warm, not too hot. With the small salad (“pico de gallo”) and an illuminating beans & rice combo on the platter, her hope for a blessed Mother’s Day meal was realized. The can of ginger ale was a surprisingly pricey addition to an otherwise very, very good bargain lunch celebration at this hidden hacienda.For me, my enchiladas were filled with frijoles (currently necessity requires eating less meats, though proteins are crucially important). The tortillas themselves were the best part, quite refined and baked evenly. Nicely evened “queso” melted on top, with a bit less smattering of the salsa than i was hoping for. Still, quite flavorful, even with a slight disappointment over the refried beans wrapped up. (Not so sure, but perhaps not homemade but from a can.)Overall the meal was quite what one will want when seeking a simple meal alone or small group desiring traditional Central American cuisine. However, the happy vibe of this hard to find place must not be underestimated, and the two mesera gentlemen really enjoy doing the serving to please — a service not found easily as well during our Covidmess times.*** ⚽️ on the televisions also! … Barca o Real Madrid??? You decide, Caballero!***?✌️✌?
Yum! Yum! Yum! It’s hard to find good and authentic pupusas that aren’t too greasy but this place has them! Sooooo good! I ordered two chicken and two pork pupusas. They are huge! I didn’t need four haha! And a side of fried plantains! Small hole in the wall very much worth visiting!!
This place is phenomenal !!!the food is very delicious,the coffee and the natural juices tasted very good,the owner and the waitresses are very friendly and we found the place to be cozy and very clean.
Great food, reasonable prices, and large portions! The restaurant is small but cozy and very clean. The staff are very kind and welcoming. I will definitely come back and try their other dishes. One of the best Salvadorian food restaurants I have been to in DC!
Good food, but not 100% my taste! Somewhat close to Mexican food and unfortunately that's not my favorite! But everything was fresh and well prepared! Enjoyed free tortilla chips with tomato dip as a free starter!
My typical experience with Salvadoran food is that it sucks. This place was great. It's small but the food is great.
Excellent little Salvadoran place. A bit larger than a hole in a wall, but certainly not by much. Seating is very limited, but the service is prompt, courteous and friendly. The menu is huge, as are the portions, with prices very competitive. I wouldn't hesitate to go again!
The beef enchiladas are SO savory. I ordered from El Rinconcito through Seamless for the first time and did not expect my meal to be this excitingly delicious. Will be ordering again!
This place has the best horchata and the best enchiladas I have ever had. Every bite of this meal has bursts of flavor! The refried beans were ?, and the salad on the side with the sour cream and guacamole wasn’t just that, it had a bit of salad dressing on it too! Ever been part of the clean plate club? This place will make you a part of it so fast you will want to come back for more ?
Rinconcito, always in my heart .I have ate very expensive food before, but there is nothing like, El Rinconcito food, always the best . Consistency is amazing , and I want to say thank you , for keep up the good flavours .
