True to form I got one of everything because it was my first time here. It is a small place on wells st. If how it usually works but we grabbed menus and picked a table. A young lady came over and got our drink order while we decided what all we wanted.
Tamalito, chicharrones, papusa, pastelitos de pollo, and the tostones. The tamalito was served with cream almost like sour cream but it was a nice corn bread. The chicharrones were fried to crispy perfection and went well with the red sauce they bring to the table. Tostones were a bit sweet and went amazing with the cream I had left over. The pastelitos de pollo was the show stopper though... a wonderfully seasoned shredded meat inside of a delicious crust. The papusa were also pretty tasty.

Okay so i don't just throw around 4 star reviews. Therefore, you know when a restaurant gets one-they absolutely earned it. And new eaterie, El Rinconcito, earned these stars.
Authentic. Flavor-filled. Fresh. Grandma is in the kitchen. Down home, Salvadoran/Mexican deliciousness.
Papusas and tacos are priced right at $1.50. The asada taco was filled with small pieces of steak, topped with cilantro and white onions and served with lime. Ok but i wouldn't return for the tacos. I WILL absolutely return for the papusas. Hot off the griddle, the tender masa dough us slightly crisp on the outside and stuffed with your filling. In my case, beans, pork and lots of cheese. Its magical! It has a certain umaminess. And when you pair it with the tanginess of the curtido (the vinegary cabbage slaw) and the heat of the chunky tomato salsa...mmmmm...A-MAY-ZING!
And i saw fried fish that looked great. A seafood soup that was filled with all kinds of oceanic goodness. Menudo. You name it, it came out the kitchen looking awesome. You won't visit El Rinconcito for the atmosphere. But you will visit it for friendly, attentive and informative service. You will definitely return for the papusas. And you will tell others because there aren't many places in Fort Wayne that transport your mind and your taste buds to other countries. Yet, I promise you that El Rinconcito will! -

Three pupusas with rice and beans for 6 dollars or three tacos with rice and beans for 6 dollars is a sure sign that you can't go wrong for lunch that will keep you full well until late evening. Really polite family ran restaurant. A great change up from the typical Mexican meals we are custom too.

After going here for the second time yesterday, I can without question tell you this is some of the best food in Fort Wayne. This little restaurant has amazing pupusas wonderful sandwiches and salsa that is out of this world. This menu is for the most part an ala carte menu. Some dinner options are available but I would suggest an array of pupusas and sandwiches and chips and salsa very affordable. The only negative is that there is a parking issue because you have to park somewhere on Wells Street or an off Street. Don't let that stop you eat here you won't regret it.
