Hidden Gem Alert!
This little hole-in-the-wall mini supermarket completely blew me away. Tucked away and easy to miss—but don’t! Inside is a small but mighty kitchen serving up some of the most delicious food I’ve had in a while. You order in the supermarket(register), can sit and eat, but it’s mostly to-go style.
I ordered tacos, a quesabirria, and chilaquiles, and everything was 10/10. Super fresh, flavorful, and just hit the spot. The salsas? Fire. Each bite tasted homemade with love.
Special shoutout to the young man at the register—he was incredibly helpful and kind, really went above and beyond to make sure my order was perfect. That level of service makes all the difference.
They also have a fully stocked mini market inside, so you can grab snacks, drinks, or essentials while you wait on your food. Overall, just a great vibe and even better food. Will definitely be back—and bringing people with me next time!
Muchas gracias por todo!
Inside a little latin grocery store. That’s how you know they’re real.
Lots of options, with lots of different fillings. Natural juices that’s basically 2L bottle. (It’s not, but you get it)
I had the quesabirria that’s done on the weekends, and one taco and a fermented pineapple with spices juice.

The places is a little cramped and you will get a little messy, but it’s immediately cleaned after you leave, so no worries. Or you can just do take out.
Once your order’s in, head to the room next door where the taqueria lives. There’s limited counter seating, so you might need to wait or take your food to go. While you’re at it, browse the market for some unique Spanish groceries. There’s a full butcher counter in the back too if you want to bring home something to cook later.
When I visited, it was packed. I’m talking full-on, no-empty-stool energy. And even with the crowd, Alex stayed patient and welcoming. The kind of service that sticks with you.
I went with the fried chicken cutlet torta with beans, avocado, Oaxaca cheese, lettuce, and mayo. I skipped the pineapple and tomato because I like my tortas focused. This sandwich came out looking like it could bench press most sandwiches in town. Hot, crispy chicken layered between toasted, soft bolillo with just the right amount of texture and flavor. It was a four-napkin situation and completely worth it.
Behind the scenes: I got to step inside the kitchen and watch Marco do his thing. He’s the man behind the grill and works with the kind of focus that makes you stop and just appreciate the craft. Tortillas are pressed to order. Meat is grilled to order. Every dish is built from scratch with speed and intention. If you see Marco, tell him Evan the Charlotte Foodie Guy sent you. He’ll probably smile and keep moving, but he’ll know you’re in good hands.
Did I try the salsas? No. I like being able to feel my face. But they’re all made in-house and come in little plastic pouches that look like hot sauce Capri Suns. Not resealable, so once you commit, you’re in.
Everything is cooked to order, so expect a bit of a wait. But this is the kind of food that makes you rethink settling for fast food.
If you go on a Sunday, don’t miss the chilaquiles. They’re only available once a week and absolutely worth it.
Parking is free, but can be a bit hectic. Feels like part of the experience.
El Rinconcito Chilango is serving up authentic Mexico City flavors with heart. The food speaks for itself, and the people behind it are just as solid. Ask for Alex when you order. He’ll take care of you.
