A small corner eatery with a fast moving line, Rinconcito serves up home-style meals in a colorful dining room. Expect traditional eats like milanesa (chicken fried steak) with macaroni salad or steak fajitas with a stack of warm tortillas. A glass of freshly made lemonade typically included (just like at abuelita’s house).
