Exactly what I want from a restaurant. Absolutely incredible quality of ingredients, from their limes to their meat/seadfood. Everything was flavorful, filling, and made perfectly. I left this place absolutely stuffed and incredibly satisfied. Excellent service. It's clear this business has pride in themselves. I got the salpequeno steak, seafood soup, and pupusas. The steak was perfectly marinated/flavored and incredibly tender. The pupusas were packed with simple yet pronounced flavors and were the perfect texture. The seafood soup was packed of all sorts of goodies, with prawn and crab and a rich broth. MAKE SURE YOU COME HERE read more

El Rinconcito has become one of my go-to places whenever I'm craving Salvadoran food. The food here is always really good-, flavorful, and served hot. The prices are very reasonable too. It's one of those places where you feel like you're getting real value for your money. The enchiladas are my favorite. The hot sauce is so good on the food too. Sometimes, the wait is long but it's always worth it. The atmosphere is casual and welcoming, with fun music, TVs playing, and the staff has always been friendly and attentive whenever I've eaten there. Where they lose a star is the wait times (sometimes wait for a reallly long time) and the consistency of freshness... sometimes the food is outstanding, and sometimes it tastes old and rotten. (Like the cucumber, tomatoes or avocado toppings). My mom had a severe allergic reaction last time we ate there. Still, I like to come back because it's that good when it is good. read more

Rincincito #2 is one of our favorite local spots. The food is always super fresh and tastes homemade. My go-to are the enchiladas -- fried tortillas stuffed with meat, cheese, beans, sour cream, and more. They come out hot, loaded, and full of flavor every time. The vibe here is really laid back. Service can be on the slower side, but honestly that doesn't bother us because the food makes up for it. It feels more like you're hanging out at a friend's place waiting for a home-cooked meal than a fast-paced restaurant. On top of that, the prices are great. You get a ton of food for what you pay, and it's always consistent. We love supporting this place and will keep coming back whenever we're craving fresh, authentic flavors without breaking the bank. read more

Horrible they didn't let my service dog in they kept asking me for a DOG ID what is that! That is not a thing! Under the state law of Florida that is literally not a thing! Know your law before turning customers away! I drove 30min just to come eat here to get denied entry over a false law!!! read more

They were very busy and maybe short-handed? It was delicious and a great value ;) Will go again for sure. read more

Met a friend for lunch who is staying at a nearby timeshare. Service, food, and prices were excellent! I can see why the restaurant is very popular with folks looking for a reasonably priced, tasty, and authentic Salvadorian meal. Definitely look forward to going back! read more

The food is always fresh and delicious. The ladies that serve are friendly and are able to recommend items if you are unsure. Every time I go to the area from central Florida that is my first place I stop to grab lunch or dinner and I stop on my way out. The pupusas are delicious. read more

This is one of my favorite spots in Broward county. I had been to their location out east and this one might be even better. I usually order this Togo and you know the food is good when it still tastes amazing after a delivery. I dined in last week and was also blown away by the excellent service. Inside the place is not fancy but feels very warm and inviting. My go to - Carne asada - grilled beef. Comes with tortilla choice and two sides. I always get this and it is always bursting with flavor. It has yet to let me down. Perfectly seasoned and nice quality cut. 5/5 ($16.75) They also have amazing queso frito, pupusas, taquitos de pollo frito. You can't go wrong with this place. I could eat here everyday and not get tired of it! read more

The food was PERFECT. very authentic. There's not much good Spanish food in pompano but this spot won't let you down.

This place is fine--nothing particularly good or bad about it. There's nothing special that stood out, but it is cheap, which is a plus. Gave it a try, but I wouldn't come back. read more

Dropped in because we were staying in the area and hesitated because we're from Virginia aka the land of El Salvadorian restaurants. However this has to be hands down the best Salvadorian food and restaurant we've been to. They give you complimentary chips and salsa and we ordered the Carne Asada which was delicious. Ended it with a flan. The restaurant itself was very nice and clean. Large TVs and music. Our waitress Claudia was great from the moment we walked in! Wish I lived in the area to visit more often. read more

The steak sandwich was DELICIOUS! The waitress was nice but wasn't able to share what the specials were and it took a long time to get our food. When you're on an hour break, this may not be the place to sit in for lunch but maybe order to go. The ambiance is that of a "hole in the wall", but those are the best places to grab some authentic food. El Salvador flavors are definitely delicious!!! read more

We love Latin food and had tried Salvadorian food before. I was craving pupusas, which are an arepa type type tortilla filled with chicken, beef, cheese, or other fillings. We ordered a cheese and a chicharron one. They were delicious. Took over 20 minutes to come though. We had to ask because we thought they forgot to put them in. We also ordered Churrasco, and Salvadorian steak. I loved my food. It was very tasty. You also get a very generous portion. Prices are reasonable. The Churrasco was $24 (which is comparable ) and mine was $15. Pretty standard for Latin fare. Service was friendly, and they came to ask how we were doing often. The food did take longer than it should have, but it wasn't a big deal. It Would be if you came on a weekday on your lunch hour. We had flan for dessert, which was so good! They serve many natural juices, sodas, beers and I did see wine, which is not on the menu. There is not a lot of decor so to speak, but the place is clean and spacious tables are spaced appropriately. Not on top of one another like some places. All in all it was a very hood meal. We will most definitely come back for more pupusas and to try more dishes. read more

One of the great things about spending time in South Florida is all the different cuisines we get to try. Tonight we had Salvadoran food for the first, but not last, time. I had a side of fried beans which was one of the most delicious bean dishes I have ever had. In fact everything was very tasty. We ordered take out, but when we went to pick it up, we could see that the restaurant was very clean and nicely decorated. The lady who helped us was quite friendly. read more

As a Salvadoran who grew up on this food, el rinconcito #2 is the place to go. El rinconcito #1 is just as good. I had the traditional Salvadoran breakfast and it was perfect. I also had a cafe con leche and a tamal con crema. And now for the Spanish review..... Todo bien delicioso. Me hacía falta comerme un desayuno típico y, como pueden ver en la foto, me lo comí todito. También me eché un tamal de elote con crema y un café con leche. Este rinconcito es igual de rico al rinconcito #1. Les recomiendo bastante que vayan a comer aquí! read more

As much Latin/Spanish food I've eaten over the years, I've never had a meal from El Salvador! Living in south Florida I've had my more than fare share of Cuban. And here and on the island, Puerto Rican food; an occasional Colombian or Argentinian meal; a lot more Peruvian lately. And in Costa Rica, Mexico, and Brazil their local cuisine. So I wasn't sure what to expect or how different it would be. About a year ago, I remember reading a review from Melodie M about a place in Lake Worth that specializes in pupusas. I looked them up at the time, and learned they were a national dish of El Salvador. So I did know I wanted to try one of them. We were greeted warmly in Spanish on entering. And asked in Spanish what we wanted to drink. As I told my husband in English to go look at the cooler, the young gal realized she'd better send someone over who spoke better English. We got to meet one of the family members who owned the restaurant. We later learned they'd been open almost a year. We got great suggestions and recommendations from him on what to order. The pupusas (a thick corn meal flatbread that is stuffed) came in either cheese, chicarones (which is actually a pork paste), beans, a plant vegetable, or a combo. We were thinking the cheese one (I was playing it safe), when we asked the gentlemen for his favorite. His favorite was the combo pork and cheese. So that's what we ordered. It was served hot and divided into four pieces for us to share. There's a coleslaw on the side that you put on top. Then you choose one of their 3 side sauces -- one is mildish red tomatoey; one green and a bit spicy; one chunky with marinated veggies and jalapeños. Oh my. This was wonderful. And we decided we could make a meal of these pupusas next time we come. Then for our entrees, my husband chose the liver steak with onions and tomatoes. He said it was very good. I opted for their fried snapper. I thought it would be a fillet, but it turned out to be a huge whole fried fish served with many pieces of lime. It was very good -- but oh so much food! You can get tortillas or instead sweet plantains with every entree. Plus you get your choice of 2 sides. We both chose yellow rice and salad. Portions are large. We wound up sharing one of the sides and taking the rest home. As full as we were, we couldn't resist trying their home made flan for dessert. It was very good, as well. So glad we decided to try this casual local restaurant. A new experience with a new cuisine at very reasonable prices. read more

Food was absolutely outstanding here. I have been looking for a yummy authentic pupusa restaurant and I am so happy I stopped in when I did. The ladies here are so welcoming and super sweet from the moment I walked in. Hospitality was definitely amazing. I had pupusas and a side of rice and everything was way better than I expected. Truly a 10/10 and I can't say that for many restaurants I have tried. The rice was so yummy! I got the bean and cheese pupusas. Filled me up the entire day. I will definitely be coming back. Give this place a try! read more

Dropped here by accident, I usually include pictures of the food , however, this time, I was too busy eating because the food was delicious, and all that was left was the Menu. This is a high compliment and a most definite recommendation for this unassuming establishment that, despite its "hole in the Wall" look, this establishment is a tour the force in terms of its culinary excelence. The food was fresh and delicious, took some time to get it ready (that's what the chips are for), but in the end, it was well worth the wait. I highly recommend this place and going definitely going back for riund read more

Great!! I love this place! Great service and food! I always have a good time.

I hadn't thought about having Liver and Onions accompanied by a bottle of Banana soda when my day began, but so glad my day ended that way. We had never tried Salvadoran cuisine before and decided to give this place a go as it was just around the corner from us. Lots of parking available and we were offered our choice of tables as we entered. As we looked over the menu, Omar (part of the owner family) came over to greet us and explain the cuisine and suggest his favorite papoosa: cheese with pork. Omar wanted to try one and was kind enough to comp one on the house. It was wonderful and delicious with different layers of flavor and textures. For my entree I saw they had one my "go to" dishes : Liver and Onions, Salvadoran style with tomatoes in the mix! My dish came with sides and I chose yellow rice, sweet plantains and a salad (the salad covered an entire plate!) My meal was wonderful and the 3lb whole fried snapper my wife ordered was "reportedly" delicious and perfect. read more

Tasty papusas, you'll need to wait some time, but it's reasonable and service was cordial, we'll go back to try more dishes!

Visiting the area for the week we tried multiple restaurants of Cuban and Salvadorian cultures and being Mexican ourselves this was the best and only one we returned to before leaving. Staff is very friendly but the food was amazing! Everyone shows the plates before but we were to busy digging in!! read more

They have okay food but the customer service is by far the absolute worst. I work in the same plaza as them and every single time i order it takes them 20 minutes to make a small order, When you finally get into the restaurant to pay they make you stand there for 2 or 3 minutes when it is COMPLETELY EMPTY (not a single customer inside) The most recent issue i had which is the reason i will never order from them again was this. I walk in to get my food and they make me stand there for 5 minutes answering the phone taking orders instead of just taking my card and giving me my food which is sitting right there in a bag. every single time i order from them there is an issue. they are rude also, yesterday they messed up my order (I ordered 2 pork and cheese papusa's) and they did not put any pork in my meal. i did not make a big deal about it, instead i walked back over and smiled and said "hey no big deal but you forgot the pork" and the woman replies "No you didn't say pork" and said next time you have to let us know. she was clearly upset and even gave me an attitude. This place is by far the worst experiences I've had in a restaurant. DO NOT RECOMMEND read more

Pupusa queso y loroco is a must. The food is tasty. The location is being remodeled so the hours are short.

La comida estaba muy rica y el servicio muy bueno, lo recomiendo y regresaré pronto para tratar algo más.

They have the best food and I don't have no regrets eating. Anyone can come and try them. They have lunch specials for $10 with an drink.

The BEST Salvadorean food around! The Pupusas are some of the best I've ever had! The Pastelitos are so good and the seafood soup was amazing' we are there every week!!! read more

I used to love an el Salvadoran place when i lived in birmingham, i haven't had this type of food in a couple of years and was craving it when i was on vacation.

Y'all are amazing, don't hesitate to order from this establishment!!! read more

Awful service, I waited 40 minutes for my food. When I finally got it, the flavor was strange, and after some time, my stomach began to hurting, and an hour later I also got a really strong headache. STAY AWAY FROM THIS PLACE! read more

We were staying at Wyndham and I drove past this place. I couldn't find it on yelp but assumed it was related to El Rinconcito, which had great reviews, so we tried it. No idea why others had such bad luck. Our service was great and our food ranged from good to great. We had tacos de pollo frito, mar y tierra, baleadeas con todo, pupusas, empanadas, and burritos. Best were the tacos fritos and the baleadas, but nothing was bad. Baleadas are huge. A whole meal for $6. read more

I'm so sad that I have to write this review, but it seems like they changed chef. I used to love the pupusas here. Now the revueltas barely have cheese and you're literally getting a fried pupusa. It's not the soft dough with just the right amount of meat and cheese inside. Last time I eat here! read more

Great experience overall. Waitress spoke in Spanish to us the entire time. Pupusas were very tasty! Beware the green hot salsa unless you love spice - great flavor but will set your mouth on fire!
