    5 rolled tacos
    Jenner B.

    Paid a visit to this little local spot on Brandywine today. Friendly server and clean tiny dining up front. I wasn't too hungry so I only ordered 5 rolled tacos. They were on the smaller spectrum as far as rolled tacos go. Being served on a 3x6 inch styrofoam tray. They were delicious non the less. Crunchy and filled with a good amount of beef. The toppings were fresh and plentiful. I did like how they covered those rolled tacos with guacamole and cheese. Out of the 3 salsas, red, green and habanero, I only got the red. Great flavor with a little kick. Overall, a nice little taco shop. I definitely have to try their burritos and carne asada fries.

    Carne asada burrito

    Absolutely delicious! I got a Carne Asada burrito and it was a 10 out of 10! The flavor was amazing -- perfectly seasoned, tender meat with no gristle or fat, just the right balance of everything. It had guacamole and pico de gallo inside, exactly the way I like it. The burrito was warm, flavorful, and surprisingly heavy -- a great size for the price. I honestly meant to eat just half, but it was so good I ended up finishing the whole thing! I'm really picky when it comes to burritos, and this one totally won me over. It smelled so good. I almost forgot to take a picture until I was 3/4 of the way done. I'll definitely be back!

    California burrito had no flavor at all awful to even think it's okay to sell food with no flavor

    This has been our weekly go to taco shop since they've changed ownership. The staff is super friendly! We've tried the carne asada burrito, micho's breakfast burrito, chicken burrito, birria, cabeza tacos. The chicken burrito is cooked in a yummy chipotle sauce. They have a great taco Tuesday deal. You have 3 salsas to choose from. Red, green & habanero (spicy) salsa. They are all yummy. Definitely give this place a try if you are in the neighborhood. You won't be disappointed. Everything is made to order.

    Hot Cheeto Burrito

    Can't resist keep coming back to El Rinconcito & once again, it didn't disappoint! I ordered the Hot Cheeto Burrito, and let me tell you it's massive! Easily enough for two people, and still super affordable. Flavor was on point, filling and satisfying, just like every time I've been here. The staff is always friendly and welcoming, and the atmosphere feels like a true family spot comfortable, casual, and full of good vibes. If you're looking for solid Mexican food that hits the spot without breaking the bank, this is it. Highly recommend!

    The menu. Everything is good.

    I would always see this shop driving on the brandywine and i thought I would give this place a try and man was it good. Everything is all reasonably priced, good selection of menu items, and overall good service. Just your run of the mill taco shop and feels at home when you step in. Im glad they had menudo because I absolutely love menudo and the chili rellenos is good too. Like everything looks good and there's literally nothing wrong with the place. Would definitely come back for more and more.

    Carne asada tacos

    Very tasty carne asada tacos and very refreshing Jamaica drink . Good service and fairly clean ! I'll definitely be back to try more dishes

    Breakfast burrito

    Love this local taco shop!!! We recently moved to this area and prefer them over (overrated) Lolita's! Their service gives that sweet mom and pop shop & so does their food! So bomb!

Just be more patient and mindful that they're doing the best they can Food 5/5 -mixed(surtido) and cheek(cachete) tacos, meat is TENDER. I honestly can't taste the difference between the two, I just knew I wanted to keep eating them(even after eating 3). Sturdy tortillas so the tacos weren't falling apart as I was eating, I also really liked that each table had two squeeze bottles of salsa, so convenient -orden/order, if you come here, you have to order this soup with the head meat. It's the essence that sums up the restaurant, it's a little peppery with the sweetness from the diced onions and meaty goodness. It comes with about 4 tortillas and there's a lot of meat in the soup to be made into more tacos Ambiance 5/5 -restaurant was full of people eating food happily(obviously the food was delicious) and there was a guy that sang for donations and vendors that came through selling trinkets, just a mixing pot of life and happy place to eat

Not pictured was a taco de tripas which my dad was not very impressed with but everything else he got, he loved. IMO, carne asada tasted a bit burnt. I'd recommend trying the flan, it was really good. Prices were decent and overall I'd be back and would recommend you stop in if in the area.

The portion was huge. The service is attentive and casual with the girls that help you very friendly and specially a girl taking the order always smiling to everyone. The ambiance is casual, non stressed with everyone enjoying and listening to regional Mexican music. I thought the efficiency of logistics to serve could be improved. They just yell and walk around looking for the name on the order. Other than that observation, I think the place delivers what it promises with good tacos, decent prices and awesome attitude

    I kept hearing about this place from friends and decided to try it out today…read more I ordered a Vampiro Carne Asada, Vampiro Al Pastor, and an Al Pastor taco. Everything was delicious. This was my first time trying a taco Vampiro style (crunchy and cheesy), it was great. You order at the counter and they bring the food to you. The location of the menu vs the counter didn't work well - you couldn't see the menu when ordering so everyone had to keep looking back and forth just to place each order (they need to fix the signage or layout). Service was super fast. It came with a small plate of cucumbers, radishes, and limes. They also dropped off 2 salsa bottles - a super spicy habanero salsa, and a medium spicy salsa verde. They had plenty of seating inside or outside on picnic tables. I sat outside to enjoy the weather and smell the carne asada being cooked on wood fired grill. Side note / tree hugger comment: They were a little wasteful with the plates... each taco came in its own separate basic.

    It's been awhile & I gladly like to update my review here up to 4 stars! One of my fav taco shops…read morein SD. At first I gave them a great review & last time not so great due to prices & portions. Well now over the years their prices are better than other taco shops & portions have gotten bigger. Tho they only have 3 tacos on the menu, Carne Asada, Birria, Adobada, they are good & they have one of the better Birria soup/broth in SD. Their carne asada is one of the best in SD, so juicy & soft I love it, their Birria taco is good too but I prefer their order of Birria or broth & their Adobada is ok just a bit too marinated for me. They also have burritos, tortas & Mullitas & I recommend the Carne Asada form in those because I believe they have one of the best Carne Asada meats in SD. The customer service is really good, cooks are cool & fast & the girls on the register are really nice & the place is always clean. And you know the best part, they have a dispensary/weed store next door so you can buy a joint & go smoke a joint in your car & then walk here & get a few tacos & Birria broth, now that's a perfect breakfast or lunch, tacos & weed go hand & hand baby :) Overall a good little hole in the wall taco shop if you don't want crazy long lines & good service & good tacos & Birria meat or broth this is your place. I even met the Baseball player Adrain Gonzalez here (you can see in my pics) & had tacos on the table next to him & talked baseball a bit & no I was not high, at that moment. So keep up the good job Poblano's & staff & see you soon amigos :)
