Restaurante Y Pupuseria El Rinconcito Familiar: Reviews & Ratings
I go for the Pupusas. With all the trimmings Cabbage, crema, cheese, chilli. They are always fresh and really good.
Pupupas and quesadillas and the lemonade/chia seed drink are to die for. Made fresh right in from of you. It does take time, be prepared to wait a little bit. Well worth the wait. I look forward to coming here whenever I get piñatas from Navarro’s across the street.
Love it here. We drive to LA just to get some pupusas. They have a spot across the street too. So much to choose from. There is a restroom in both spots, and they are clean (I'm big on restrooms). The pupusas de chicharron con queso and the pambazos are my favorite. And to finish a platano frito is delicious with lechera. And once there there is so much more to munch on. Come extra hungry!
Delicious food, Great staff, and great location. The staff were so nice and willing to give samples to make sure we got what we really wanted. Will definitely be coming back
