El Rinconcito Salvadoreño - Salvadoran Near Me - North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina

still the best Papusas in area!!! so much flavor! service is still great! [[HIGHLIGHT]]Music maybe a bit too loud but hey least it is Latino-Jesus!! amen![[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]When you first drive up, it doesn't look like much. There isn't much curb appeal, and the dark windows make it hard to tell if it's even open except for the signs.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]But once you step inside, it's a whole new world. What a great surprise.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]The ambiance feels authentically Salvadoran, with beautiful hand-painted wood furniture. The music created a warm, inviting atmosphere that immediately made us feel comfortable.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Our server, Alejandra, was wonderful--friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful from start to finish. She made excellent recommendations and took great care of us. The food was fantastic. Everything tasted fresh, the vegetables were crisp, and every dish had great flavor. The tacos were very good, the pupusas were excellent, and the beans with the amarillo rice were the perfect combination. The empanadas were delicious as well. All of the flavors--from the salsas to the cabbage--complemented each other beautifully. We highly recommend this family restaurant. We can't wait to go back and still can't believe it's been hidden from us for the past four years. So glad we finally found it! read more

Delicioso food! I really enjoyed the Loroco pupusas, chicken tamal and champurrado. I'll definitely recommend this place. Very authentic.

took to long to serve the food and the lemonade had no lemon on it it was water they charge too much and the food was bad

Mal servicio / terrible service. And the mugs were not cleaned well. Food was alright not the best.

Ordered the mixtas pupusa con frijole queso chicharron (mixed pupusa with bean, cheese, pork rind), pollo en crema (chicken in creme), and 7 mares caldo de mariscos (7 seas seafood soup). The taste and freshness of all the dishes were amazing. read more

One of the best places to eat in all of the Carolinas. Super high-quality authentic Salvadorian food at fantastic cost. I don't know of any other places where you can get dishes prepared like this. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Rich environment, rich diverse dishes and foods that are very hard to find presented and served authentically.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

The kind waitress helped us with the menu. Both the fried chicken and grilled was outstanding. My daughter said it was the best chicken ever. The pupusa was great and the shrimp ceviche was all good. read more

The food is great, but make sure you know how to speak Spanish since there was not a single person there who knew English.. luckily, we survived with Google translate and some words of Spanish and got some great food. The plantains, as always, were our favorite.. read more

I went here on my birthday and I wanted to try everything. This place is really good! If you have never had this kind of food this would be a great place to start however when you try something different you will be disappointed because this place is so good. The tables were so cute and colorful I loved how they had the name of different cities in El Salvador, very cute. The server was nice & the place was clean. Out of everything we ordered I would have to say the pupusa's would be when I go back for.I got the seafood soup and it was delicious. Fyi-This place is not serve alcohol and that is OK with me!!! Good for them!!!! It seems like a family business and I love that. I love supporting family owned small businesses. They have done and are doing a great job. Go ahead and try it! read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Great place very authentic and priced right.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] Big selection and lots of options. I would recommend it when you want some authentic South American cuisine read more

Great pupusas and sopa de res. Carne asada tasted like it could've been good if the cut of steak were good. Sadly it was very fatty and gross. I'll give stars for everything else that was yummy. read more

I translated the name. The Salvadoran Corner. Not entirely accurate because El Rinconcito is smack in the middle of an unprepossessing shopping plaza. Might even could say it was ugly. No matter. Ugly shopping plaza means low rent. Low rent means more money to make good food without the pressure of having to turn over a bunch of tables all the time or having to make stupid faux margarita umbrella drinks. I could make a meal of just the pupusas alone. I probably should have. Tomato salsa and cabbage. I added liberal amounts of Valentina Picante Sauce too. Ordered french fries with mayo, ketchup, and parmesan on it for the table. That was ridiculous. But they didn't last long either. My tacos were brilliantly simple. Two chicken, two beef and just the meat please. Other people ordered other stuff and it was all so good we didn't even need alcohol to sing little songs to the ladies behind the flat top. They smiled shyly and pointed at me--probably just to point out where to shoot me if my singing got too bad. This ain't the North Myrtle Beach purple hippo Mexican place or the Barefoot Landing Taco Universe stuff or even the more slovenly Tex-Mex joints up and down the strand. Its just good, heartfelt Salvadoran food without much pretense at all. That's worth singing about, I think. read more

We just found this place recently. The food is very authentic and tastes great. Good size portions. Menus is not in English, but they have pictures and at least some of the staff speaks English. We will definitely go back. The Churrasco Salvadoreno is our favorite. read more

Came back to this restaurant on a return visit to Myrtle Beach. We still enjoyed everything we ordered. Has much of the same meals as last time. (Don't mess with a good thing). For some reason I didn't feel the pollo en crème was as good as last time. The cream was a bit thick and missing some flavor. The green sauce that came with the papusas was excellent and we asked for more to use as a salsa on our meals. We tried the guacamole. It came with chips. There was plenty of it. It and the chips were tasty. We also orders pico de gallo which was excellent. The service was especially bad this time. Very slow, no drink refills offered, and even brought some of the wrong stuff to our table. Toward the end of our meal, w Waldo heard an animal in the ceiling. That freaked out the whole group. Didn't sound small, possibly a raccoon or something. The meal itself was still excellent, but we will watch for other reviews about any pest problems and may check into that further before going back. read more

I had my heart set on eating here since it caught my eye as I was whizzing by on Rt 17, but MAN did they make it hard to get takeout. I tried calling multiple times. First, I got a busy signal for close to half an hour. Then when the phone finally rang, nobody answered. I almost gave up, but decided to just drive there and walk in. I ordered a papusa and the pollo encebollado. They were out of the chicken dish, so I ended up ordering the Milanesa de res, which is breaded fried steak served over rice. The food was good. It tasted very similar to my Cuban grandmother's bistec empanizado, but honestly it's not what I was hoping to eat. I really would like to come back under non-COVID circumstances and see if I can get the meal and service I was hoping for. read more

This restaurant was one of the highlights of our recent trip to North Myrtle Beach. The food was very tasty, well made and prepared fresh which was a good contrast to the majority of restaurant options in the area. As Myrtle Beach is a big tourist destination there are mostly chain restaurants in the area. El Rinconcita Salvadoreno is a small local restaurant who can put together affordable and delicious food. We had the seafood stew which we highly highly recommend and also the Carne Asada which was very good as well. The flautas were light, crispy and tasty and the tamales were both tasty and filling. read more

Best Authentic Salvadoran Pupusa in NMB! The place was clean and nicely decorated. Food was hot and fresh. Don't let the location in the strip mall fool you. This is a local secret. If you are looking for a non tourist location, this is the place! If you don't speak Spanish there was a bilingual server available ! read more

The food was very fresh and tasty. The flavors were bold but not overly seasoned or spiced. The hostess found someone who spoke English fluently as there was a little language barrier. It wasn't necessary as far as we were concerned but definitely made their job easier (we speak little to no Spanish). The server was very attentive and the food came fast and hot. The place could use some sprucing up and a little more attention to the floors, especially under the table. Or booth was a little awkward as the seats were a bit far from the table, which is why I prefer tables with chairs. We'd consider going back as it was definitely a nice change of pace and taste. read more

1 hr + to get our food. Once we got the food, everything was either cold or seemed like it was warmed up in the microwave. Flautas tasted stale and old, beans tasted burnt and salad looked weeks old. Only thing kinda good was the pupusas. All this for a hefty check and very disappointed. Service was not good and [[HIGHLIGHT]]the ambiance was sad.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] DEFINITELY not recommended. read more

Ok. So I've been wanting to try this place out for months...being a local there are so many tourist traps out here...but THIS PLACE IS LEGIT!! I ordered chicken tacos and rice my friend had the pollo de crema--that crema is AHHHHMAZING!! I wanted to pour it all over my food! And beyond all that...we absolutely LOVED the Christian music playing on the screen! We recognized some of the songs in English!! WE WILL BE RETURNING AND SENDING MORE YOUR WAY!! Don't expect fine dining, just DELISH food and a good, peaceful atmosphere. read more

This place was so good!! My family and I throughly enjoyed the food, and the service provided by the staff. The place was very clean and beautifully decorated. We can't believe we found such an authentic salvadorean restaurant in Myrtle Beach. We are originally from El Salvador and every plate we got was so delicious and tasty. Highly recommend if you're looking for authentic Central American cuisine! ¡¡Este lugar era tan bueno!! Mi familia y yo disfrutamos mucho de la comida y del servicio proporcionado por el personal. El lugar estaba muy limpio y muy bien decorado. No podemos creer que hayamos encontrado un restaurante salvadoreño tan auténtico en Myrtle Beach. Somos originarios de El Salvador y cada plato que obtuvimos era tan delicioso y sabroso. ¡Muy recomendable si buscas auténtica cocina centroamericana! read more

This place is THE BOMB. I'm not from Myrtle Beach, but due to work we've had to stay here for a little over two months. Of course, I'm always looking for authentic food, and THIS. IS. THE. PLACE. Service is excellent, food is delicious and affordable. I recommend the "7 mares soup" So far, I've been there 7 times within 8 weeks, and it's always the same 5 start food and service. read more

Stopped in to get pupusas for takeout. This place was jumping at lunchtime. Had to wait maybe 20 minutes, but totally worth it.

Always prefer smaller, private restaurants and this one is a great find! Friendly, pleasant service. Food came hot and very flavorful. Thank you for not American-izing your food! As a fellow Central American, I need, want, enjoy our flavors. I had the Carne Asada Plate. The beans yaste great. The steak is tender and very well seasoned. I will definitely be back. read more

Let me start by saying that I am white and my husband was born in El Salvador. That being said I know great Salvadoran food when I eat it. The mixed pupusas were excellent! The pork, bean and cheese pupusas melt in your mouth and are full of flavor. A must try! The carne asada was honestly the best I've ever had! I have no idea how they get so much flavor into that steak but it is delicious The rice was moist and had great flavor as well. This is truly the best little place for authentic food from El Salvador. You won't be disappointed! read more

This was my first time trying Salvadorian food. Wow it did not disappoint. This is a must try if you're in the area.

Terrible. Service was horrible. Yucca wax half hot and half cold. Pupusas not good. Never go there again

If you're in the mood for amazing El Salvadoran food, this place is a winner. Everything we ordered was delicious. I highly recommend their pupusas! Can't wait to go back read more

Guys the best authentic place to eat Salvadorian food I had the Churrasco gosh all I can say delicious The Panes Reyenos de pollo taste like momma cooking Best food in North Myrtle Beach hands down. The only bad side was the Horchata it was bitter as if it was toasted. Pupusas Booooommmmbbbb!!! Other than that food was Deeeeellliiicious !! read more

These are truly the best Pupusas in town, and the nicest servers too! Can't wait to go back!

The food is very good, the service is good and the restaurant is Ute and well decorated with pictures of Salvadoran life. We lad pupusas and shrimp tacos. Both were excellent. It is a family friendly restaurant. It doesn't look like much from the outside, but go inside and enjoy the food and atmosphere. They don't serve beer, but the Coca Cola is good. read more

horchata was NOT good ...it was more water than anything . took a little bit more than an hour to get our food ... and our food was served cold ! tried the elote atole & it was no good as well . im Salvadoran ... and I've had better food . i definitely don't recommend this restaurant . please do better . read more

Authentic Salvadoran food at great prices. The place is clean and the servers friendly. Had the tacos, Plato especial de la casa, and pollo encebollado. Will definitely come back while in NMB. read more

No doubt the food here is great. But the customer service is horrid. There is one young woman in particular who answers the phone, and has an attitude. The conversation starts out normal but she always catches an attitude. My husband loves the food, but I hate calling it in. We've ordered food here a total of 3 times. Today I called at 9:16 PM to ask for 2 orders of grilled chicken breast dinner and she put me on hold and came back to the call and you could hear the click of her trying to hang up on me from the land line. Thought it was a fluke, so I hung up and called back, she answered and put me on hold. She did this several times. My husband who was going by there to pick up the food pulled up and watched them turn off the light to the restaurant at 9:30PM. She coulda said that they weren't taking anymore orders and saved everyone time. You bet I'll put this same review on google, and tomorrow I'll talk to the business owner. read more
