Rincon Santaneco’s

I love the pupasas and the Plato topico it’s just a great spot for a quick Central American meal. Makes me feel like I’m in El Salvador again.

My husband and I love the ceviche and seafood soup. A lovely place.

Ate here a couple of weeks ago and I was extremely impressed with the food at Rincon.
We didn’t encounter the language barrier issue that other reviewers did, and were there a bit early so it wasn’t busy.
But let me tell you… the pupusas were some of the best I’ve ever had, and the Taco/​Enchilada combo plate was spectacular. Add a glass bottle of Fanta and you are in business!
Make no mistake — you don’t come to Rincon for the ambiance. This place is all about high quality authentic Salvadoran food at a great price.
Great value, great flavor and a solid alternative when you’re looking for Latin, but want something different from Mexican.
We will be back!

I love this place. I’ve been coming here for years. It’s kind of a «hole in the wall» but the food is authentic and delicious. I’m the type of person that is interested in good food and as long as the place is clean I don’t care about the rest. Every time I come here I always get the «Plato tipico» that comes with two pupusas of your choice, rice, beans and a sweet plantain. The beans are honestly the best in all of mt. Kisco. My only complaint is the service. They are SLOW. Very friendly, but slow. Even though they are painfully slow I feel the food is worth the wait it’s a hidden gem in mount Kisco. I questioned myself before writing this because I don’t want too many people discovering it. The food never disappoints and the prices are really good.

I love this place. Definitely a hidden gem– don’t be surprised if you are the only gringo there. Food is fantastic and authentic. The no frills restaurant serves up amazing grub. Love the pupusa. Taco and enchilada combo is my go to dish. Rice and beans are always on point. They have some great looking soups I have not tried but which always seem popular. Overall, delicious and can’t beat the bang for the buck.

This place is excellent!
I love it when the food speaks for itself — and this is where that happens.
Authentic and delish El Salvador cuisine.

not that great. the chicken guisado smelled and tasted funny.

Great papusas! If you’re new to Salvadoran food & not sure what to order, the «plato typico» is a good place to start– 2 papusas, rice, beans and some sweet plantains. The beans were possibly the best I have ever tasted!
They serve a typical red salsa with your meal and curtido, a kind of cabbage slaw to eat with your papusas. I also ask for a side of avocado & some crema– all together it is a great good combination!
Also, their iced tea is sweet & tangy, which was pleasantly surprising (normally I don’t like sweetened iced tea). They also serve horchata if you’re into that.
All in all, it is a very filling lunch for about 10 bucks, plus tip. Yes, it is a hole-​in-​the-​wall, but don’t let that deter you– this place is a great find! It really helped me get over my disappointment with La Papusa Loca in Port Chester.

I love this little gem of a hole-​in-​the-​wall and wish I can get to eat here more often than I do. The staff is very friendly — for non-​Spanish speakers, just point and smile. Pupusas are delicious — try them with queso y chicharron (cheese and fried pork skin — mmm!). The platters are yummy too, especially the daily specials. A must-​try if you’re on Main Street!

After hours of bumber to bumber fun going from Jersey City to Newtown CT, I needed food close 684. Opened up the Unilocal app, and this seemed very promising.
Unlike the previous two posters, I know absolutely nothing about El Salvadorian cuisine. I’m probably as white as you can be, despite having been to South America several times.
If you don’t know (I had to google it), pupusas are like gorditas. Filled hand made corn tortillas. You can fill them with whatever (cheese, potatoes, pork, etc). The thing is that apparently the corn used is processed differently, but I couldn’t tell. Their pupusas were very good and hot, and of the ones I tried I especially enjoyed the cheese+pork skin. Also, the refried beans were excellent. The rice was just your standard white rice + vegetables.
The service was fine. The waiters indeed did not speak much English, but after living in Eastern Europe for a while that doesn’t bother me. Point, Man, Point (and smile).
I did leave jolly full, for about $ 10+ tip. Certainly beats fast food off highway exits.

This might be the best food in Mt. Kisco and to tell the truth I’m glad nobody goes there, nobody American anyway. The first thing to know is that you should speak Spanish, or bring someone who does. The menu is bilingual, but the staff is not. When in doubt you can point, but you’ll miss out on the specials, which are only posted in Spanish on the board.
Now on to the food,
HUGE portions, for no money. My favorite is the taco /​enchilada combo with rice and beans. It is El Salvadorian so don’t expect Mexican enchiladas or tacos, these are different, and better. The combo is served with mounds of meat and rice and shredded greens all seasoned perfectly and only $ 8.00. That’s right 8 freakin’ bucks. I usually top mine with an order of the chorizo which is the best I have had in my life. They also have authentic South American drinks like horchata which might be an acquired taste for some.
The décor… Well, the place is a hole in the wall and looks more like an extension of the bodega next door than a restaurant. The walls are covered with El Salvadorian art and money. Telemundo is the program of choice on the Television. Rest assured you would probably never look twice at this place.
As I write this review, I almost want to delete it. I am the only «white» guy I have ever seen in this place and I would be very disappointed if I couldn’t get a table because the world found out about my very favorite place to eat.
