Rinconcito Latino — Restaurant in Fridley

I created an online order at 10:42am to be PICKED UP knowing that pupusas take some time to make. The timeframe it said it would be ready was between 10:58-11:05am. This is fine considering I planned my lunch break to accommodate this. However, when I arrived, they said they never received the order and that they would make it right away. I may not speak Spanish as fluent as the ppl working there, but I understand it enough to know when the employees are being disrespectful. I wasn't ordering just for myself but for multiple ppl who are also accommodating their lunch break around this. I waited 15 minutes in their restaurant for eight pupusas to be ready with no customers in the place. Luckily, I had an hour lunch break to not be late to clock back into work on time, but this is why I ordered ahead of time for it to be ready by the time I pick it up and make it back to work for me to eat and do other duties in my free time. If time is of the essence, please save yours and DON'T order through their online platform because it is trash & they may never "receive it".

If their failure to make the order on time wasn't enough to make me upset, by the time I sat down with my coworkers to eat the food, I found a hair in the tomato sauce after I had applied it to my food. I had overall a terrible experience with this restaurant. I've gone their multiple times over the years for their food despite the poor customer service and always tell my coworkers how good the food is there. We have a New Years party coming up that I was going to order a batch of pupusas for my colleagues to enjoy. Now that I see they can't even handle making 8 of them on time nor keep their hair tucked away from the food, I will no longer be...

The pupusas here (pictured) are incredible. I always get bean and cheese pupusas, douse them in salsa (never too spicy, sometimes a little kick to it), and though I've tried many other menu items and enjoyed them, I stick with steak tacos as my main dish. You have to have a Jarrito to drink (ok, you don't have to but they're so good), and plantains make a yummy dessert.

I've taken all my family members, friends from out of town, and anybody wanting awesome Salvadorian food. Everyone also loves the curtido (kind of like a cabbage salsa) brought to each table.

The only thing to be aware of is that you might wait a while if they are busy (they do a lot of pickup orders), and sometimes it helps to go to the counter to ask for whatever you need. It's a small place but tons of flavor.

If you speak Spanish, you'll fit in well, and if you don't, they have English definitions and pictures on the menu! You can order in either language comfortably. They appreciate cash payments but cards are accepted as well. I frequent this family-run small business as often as possible! It's the best hole-in-the-wall discovery...
