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!

Also hard to identify is the unique flavor in the horchata drink, which I really liked too. I want to come back and try every drink.

The restaurant is small. They have maybe 12 seats inside and a few picnic tables outside. They do have a drive thru but I'm not sure if it's in working order. I did have to wait a minute for my food but I was ok with that because I knew they'd be fresh. The lady I interacted with was friendly. On Thursday the special is 4 deep fried shredded beef tacos for $6. So that's what I went with. They were decent sized and had a fair amount of shredded beef. The lettuce was fresh. And I liked both the mild and hot salsas. The mild was more like a tomato sauce but kinda Italian tasting. The hot wasn't over the top and was very smoky. They have a very vast menu so I'll definitely be back because there's many other things I'd like to try. I definitely recommend checking them out and take a peek at their specials.

The salads are fresh made to order as well. And served with a half of an avocado and a half slice of lime! The prices are affordable! I highly recommend this establishment. Don't let the outside scare you away! I went about 2:30 in the afternoon and felt great! I did not check the restrooms. I could see into the kitchen area and it looked clean and well organized. Spacious seating. And some fun candy machines for the little ones after dinner treats! Very family friendly and they were playing Selena's music while we ate!
