El Rinconsito | Burien

Jaqueline Robel

El Rinconsito is a delightful gem in Burien! The vibrant ambiance instantly transports you to Mexico. 🌮 I indulged in their signature carne asada tacos, which were bursting with flavor and perfectly seasoned. The salsa verde added just the right kick!

The staff was friendly and attentive, creating a welcoming atmosphere. I also loved their homemade tortillas - they're so fresh! It’s a cozy spot for a casual meal, though it can get busy during peak hours. Overall, a fantastic experience I can't wait to repeat! 🌟

The food here was EXCELLENT! Being from California I thought we had some good Mexican.
California does but this place was awesome. I had the pollo a la diabla.
It was plenty flavorful and spicy! The rice was tasty.
Man.
Their beans! You can taste the puerco juices and or fat they were cooked in! My brother in law had the birria tacos with consome.
He said they were delicious. My wife got al pastor tacos! Damn.
These were the epitome of al pastor! I always order al pastor/adobada for but I'm never wowed.
I've realized that a good al pastor needs char.
These had that.
Just because it's on a trumpo doesn't mean it's legit.
Many I've had off the trumpo but lacked the char.
This place has the best thus far. Their salsas packed flavor! They have self serve, all you can drink horchata, tamarindo, jamaica and melon!

They offer a salsa bar.
The meats are well seasoned.
Food is authentic and delicious.
Their restaurant is cleaner than most of the other taco places in the area.
Al pasor is a "cant miss" choice.

Food is typically good but today I ordered ahead for a 7:40 pick up and got a text an hour before that my food was ready so it was cold when I went to pick it up at my scheduled pickup time.
Disappointing that they would make it that far ahead of time.
