If you ever find yourself in South Kansas City craving some south of the border flavor and flair…read morethen look no further than this unassuming, charming family owned restaurant tucked into a quaint strip mall. El Rincon Latino Restaurant is one of the many Latin owned and operated restaurants near Grandview in Kansas City Missouri however, what makes this strip mall standby standout is the emphasis on El Salvadorian cuisine instead of the traditional Mexican or Tex-Mex offerings. Also, bonus points for them being opened early in the morning to feed those traditional A.M. working commuters though, me personally, I have never tried their breakfast offerings. The morning menu seems to consist of some hearty South American staples such as Huevos Rancheros and a breakfast burrito as well as a meal that includes 2 sweet corn tamales and a cup of coffee. The national dish of El Salvador is the papusa and El Rincon has many varieties of these on their menu, most are also vegetarian. My ultimate favorite is the one with zucchini and cheese filling but, if you are trying to be the most authentic with your filling choice then the cheese and loroco, a traditional vegetable grown in El Salvador, Guatemala, and other central American countries, would be the correct choice. The loroco is described as a mixture of artichoke and asparagus with a slight floral essence. I would describe the texture of the papusa itself as close to that of an arepa but without the presence of corn-meal or masa, the dough itself is closer to a thicker flour tortilla, sort of..maybe. Well, anyway that you try to describe these griddled UFO-looking stuffed El Salvadorian goodies isn't going to be as good as a just eating one! (Or two, or three, especially with a price just below $3 a piece they are definitely worth trying a few) Also, do not skip out on the accoutrements that come with the papusas, there is a very thin watery slightly spicy tomato based sauce (perhaps a salsa of sorts) and an amazing pickled vegetable slaw condiment that takes any of the papusas up a notch, I'm assuming these are traditional accompaniments you'd find in El Salvador when ordering this type of street food. But don't count out El Rincon for other unique South of the Border street food as well such as, sopes, gorditas, tostadas (barbacoa one is excellent) as well as great prices on street tacos- under $2 daily?! Heck to the Yes!

To sum up the experience of eating at Los Amigos in a few words - They don't care; and they…read morecertainly aren't going to be my Amigo. I seated myself without acknowledgment, I was given a bowl of chips without salsa and not told of the self serve sauce table - I figured that out after eating dry chips for a few minutes. I got nothing but shrugs when I questioned the food, was never given follow up service and I had to ask how to pay my bill and exit. It was one of the few times I wanted to leave $0 for a tip but I resisted and played nice. There was not a language barrier either to explain the lack of attention, my waitress spoke perfect English. As for the food; I ordered a zucchini and a cheese pupusa. The pupusas were grilled well and not too doughy with plenty of filling but the curtido or sad excuse for curtido absolutely proved to me that the back end didn't care just as much as the front end of the restaurant. They gave me a small bowl of freshly poured shredded cabbage out of a bag. I kid you not! No vinegar, no added onions or carrots... no cooking, no pickling, no aging; just shredded raw cabbage! The honorable nation of Guatemala should send an envoy to rip the Guatemalan flags off the walls so they are not associated with such an affront to Central American cuisine.

After having arepas at another place, I was excited. I ordered one of each to try and a empanada. The arepa was quite different than what I experienced before, different parts of South America influenced. I tried all three, pork, chorizo, and chicken. Each was good, the meats had nice flavoring. The meats come served on what I would say is similiar to a small square pizza dough. The empanada was good. Nice flavor, potato stuffed which was a new twist. Nice flavor and sauce with it, although I would have liked the sauce thicker. Not my favorite arepas and empanadas, but if I saw them out, I would stop again.

My three street tacos ($2 each including tax) and one fish taco ($3 including tax) were ready eight minutes after I ordered. The ordering process was efficient, with a friendly staff member outside the truck using an iPad with a credit card reader. There was no signing and no touching the iPad, so it was all contact-free. The tacos were nicely packaged, with a nice, medium salsa and lime wedges. The 4" tortillas were soft, moist, and fresh, while the four meats I tried varied greatly in flavor. The al pastor was moist, flavorful, and somewhat spicy with a good portion size (nice!), while the marinated pollo was a little drier (but still good), the grilled tilapia was okay with only a small portion size, and the asada consisted of tiny, over-cooked, dry beef cubes. Bottled water and sodas were available at reasonable prices from their cooler, but there was no seating. Watch their social media sites for their next location. Overall, I'm thinking 3.5 stars and rounding up for the reasonable price.
