I'm a pupusa fanatic and this place does not disappoint. Small footprint, local patrons, good food, inexpensive. What more could you want?!

Delicious food, the best salvadorean food i've tried in Washington DC! I loved the pupusas and the dessert <3
Had some AMAZING Sopa de res and Frijol de queso pupusa on a cold rainy day for lunch. The soup was heartwarming and filling and the pupusa was one of the best I've ever tried. This is THE place for authentic and delicious Salvadoran food.
The food was just amazing. Lots of options and the flavors were great. I definitely want to return to try more of their stuff. Staff was super friendly as well. Decent prices.
Absolutely fantastic food! Sopa De Res made me a believer and the pupusas we're outstanding. Some of the best latin food I've ever had. Very authentic vibes! Must try!
Food was great, although they made a mistake with my order
When my friends and I attend the
GALA Hispanic Theatre, we usually eat at El Rinconcito either before or after, depending on whether the performance is in the evening or a matinee. I almost always have enchiladas, but the last time I was there, I had shrimp on the grill. I like the food. It's relatively inexpensive
The food was AMAZING full of flavor and well seasoned. There was so much food I couldn't eat it all.
The papusas were fantastic and full of flavor. Everything was delicious, belly-warming comfort food.
El Rinconcito was a great place to drop in for lunch! I went here with my boyfriend, and we each got a papusa combination platter. The price was great for the amount of food we got, and the papusas were great (and absolutely humongous), although they weren't as crispy on the outside as I would have loved. They also had a large variety of alcoholic drinks (definitely a perk).
Excellent pupusas in an authentic local eatery — the original El Rinconcito on 11th is slightly better, but that's no knock on this delicious Salvadoran outpost.
Food was great, hot, fresh and tasty. I prefer my food spicier so that would be my only criticism. Everyone was lovely and welcoming.
