It's a cool change up from the other 13 Mexican restaurants in town and they have 2 other locations in Asbury Park and Belmar which to me means they are legit. Don't expect apps or dessert though ... again not that kinda place. Their specialty drinks pair well with tequila but they don't offer margaritas mix like some of the other places to make your byob experience a little easier. Birria broth was excellent and service was great. Meals came out fresh and fast. Bart Simpson driving the bus on the wall mural was unexpected in 2024. Props for that choice. Last thing bring cash to tip. They take cards but can't leave a tip that way. Hope that changes ... everywhere !!

One of Manahawkin's best kept secrets, Latino Flavor Grille!!…read moreWe stopped in last night for dinner, ordered fajitas. My friend ordered seafood fajitas, and I ordered steak fajitas. We were greeted by a delightful server, Astrid! I'm not big on rice or vegetables so I made a few changes to the menu. Chef stopped at my table to be certain he had my order correct. We began with guacamole and chips. Probably the best guacamole I have ever had in my life and that includes guacamole I had in Mexico. I can't remember when I have had better fajitas. The steak was cooked to absolute perfection. My friend who ordered seafood fajitas... The shrimp looked amazing and she was thrilled. You're able to order half bottle or a full bottle of wine and this is a new feature! As a local, I realize many of the other locals have found this little gem of a Latino restaurant, fantastic!! This is now on my restaurant rotation as, sad to say, there are very few restaurants in Manahawkin that are worth a revisit. This is definitely one that should be visited, often!!

Lightest grease free empanadas I've had in a long time. Absolutely delicious. We ordered guac and it comes in a huge tub for a very low price so get on that one too. Burritos and rice beans for entrees. We went with chorizo and al pastor burritos that were massive and tasty. We could have split one but I'm down for having the other half for lunch the next day. Maybe they can do a half chorizo half al pastor burrito next round and blaze trails. Pictures speak for themselves. Also very nice people work here so that's a huge bonus.

Every other Mexican restaurant in Manahawkin refries black beans. Not Rinconcito! Finally! I can get a bean and cheese burrito with the best, refined pinto beans. Also, their chips are the best in town. Why??? Because they make their own! If only the other Mexican restaurants would do the same- enough of the pre-made chips. The staff is friendly and accommodating too. Highly recommend Rinconcito!

(A bonus, Coca-Cola from Mexico made with pure cane sugar, not the awful high fructose corn syrup how they make it here.) Recommended!

The woman who owns it is the cook and is a very nice lady. I wanted enchiladas which wasn't on the menu, but she said "I'll make them for you anyway." Also the portion sizes are extremely big here probably almost triple of other restaurants, so you get a lot for your dollar, which is awesome in today's economy. Everyone go try them out, you won't be sorry!

Been wanting to try this place for a while. Heard a few good reviews by friends, so we decided on…read moregrabbing delivery. I ordered a couple of things to try. The first was a chorizo quesadilla. It came deconstructed, basically a plain quesadilla (meat and cheese), I got it with cheddar and Jack cheese, and the lettuce, tomato and a bit of cheese on the side. It came with sour cream and guacamole on the side as well. It was tasty, for sure, but it was also a whole tortilla, not cut. The meat was also super greasy. I also got a carne asada burrito. That too had lettuce and tomato on the side, how I would put that in, I'm not sure. It was just meat, cheese and rice. The sour cream came in handy as it was a bit dry. The flavor was there, but the meat was fatty and had gristle. Not great in a burrito. Overall, it was tasty, but average. Hoping if we get it again it'll be better.
