Rinconcito Luncheonette

I found this place on Unilocal about a week ago and have been there twice since than ! The food is great and the prices are reasonable. The owner is friendly and the atmosphere is more like you are eating at a friends house than in a restaurant. They have the best Papusa !

Amazing food and owners. You feel like your eating at your family house. Very caring people and friendly. Food is great.

this luncheonette is a hidden gem in plain sight! located on a busy main street in downtown newro, i’ve driven by it a million times. thank goodness i felt adventurous one day. everything I’ve tried so far muy delicioso!: arepa, steak, chicken empanada and colombian sausage, colombian scrambled eggs with diced scallion and peppers and more! haven’t had a bad meal here.
the setting is a very casual humble mini-​diner, with ~12 seat counter and perhaps 3 little 2-​top tables. the service is polite, but a non-​Spanish speaker like me may find a bit of language barrier; but, when the main chef is there (i’ve been here 5x and he was there 3 of 5) his command of English is perfect. the 3 ladies behind the counter less so but the menus are written in English with photos. i now order specific items rather than the dishes or the combos set out on the menu and they dont mind it at all.
this place prolly will hopefully never become a destination for foodies, but this lover of tasty culinary creations from fresh ingredients, is hooked. i’d drive from Greenwich CT or NYC for those yummy arepas any chance i get!

this is by far the best Colombian place in the area, including neighboring towns white plains and port Chester. it is very authentic and the service is A+.

Ordered the typical Colombian dish found metal shavings in the chicharron. Yea I think that will be the last time I eat there!

This place was found walking around New Rochelle and this place is worthy for a eat in when in this town. The food is authentic Latin in flavors and the prices are the best for each meal. If I wasn’t living in the state of Florida, I would try everything in the menu… until my death bed. Recommended for anyone who wants a taste of Latin cooking.

Good lil place the people behind the counter are very friendly and inviting they have a good selection of food to choose from and the prices are not bad, i had the puposas and some Empanada and two maltas nothing to big but it was good will good back again

Please don’t let the size of this establishment discourage you from dinning here. The service is 5 stars all the way! I love the atmosphere of a «moms & pops shop» this place has, it is usually places like this that serve the best quality food.
I had a «Bandeja Paisa», which includes steak, eggs, rice, beans, pork chunks with soft plantains and a salad. It was awesome ! I drove from the south Bronx to this place just to have it and it wasn’t disappointing !
Although it was a small place, it was extremely clean and bright ! I had no problem eating there but you can also take it to go you’d like. Definitely coming back here !

Initially, I was put off by the small space, but in 30 seconds the lady there made me forget the size. She answered my questions with a smile and offered to let me taste things I was thinking of getting. The «mondongo», is what I ended up with and there are NO regrets. The food was EXCELLENT (super fresh and home cooked), the price was affordable and the service 5 star! I decided to try it because of the reviews of others, I am now paying it forward with one of my on.
If you are coming with kids, leave your stroller in the car, other than that, this is a MUST try for all. It was my first time trying Colombian food and believe me, every time we visit NY, we will come visit.

Every Tuesday and Thursday this is my spot to eat an amazing Latin dish. The food is amazing the ladies are amazing, and the prices are extremely pocket friendly. The food is always on point and the service is exceptional. The place has a homey feeling and the food is consistently great. I advise all Monroe students to try this place out.

Best colombian spot! I enjoy coming here everytime I visit NY! Definitely coming back!

We are from Yonkers, and I had never hear about this Colombian Restaurant before, we decided to give it a try. We absolutely love the food!!! the owner is very attentive and super friendly, the food on top of been good is a very reasonable price. I posted on my Facebook account right away, and my family and friends from Yonkers know where to go now for amazing colombian food…

Best Colombian food in the area.
Try Bandeja Paisa or their delicious empanadas…
People is friendly and courteous… Is like being in Colombia!

This is a great little Colombian spot right next to my brother’s salon. They have all of the traditional Colombian foods like steak, eggs & rice along with some of the drinks that I’ve never gotten to taste but always see at Colombian restaurants.
They also have some of the basic Spanish & American food, but I don’t mess with that stuff. I can tell it’s not their thing. Stick with the empanadas, arepas, and traditional Colombian food. All of that stuff is really good.

I Love These Guys!
Actually, most of the time I go there I’m served by these very nice Columbian Women. The coffee is Phenomenal. This is the place I have been looking for a very long time. Authentic. Real Deal. Filling. Tasty. Tons of choices. Home-​style…
Usually I have to go before or after work cause everything is made fresh and I forget to call ahead. There may be a slight language barrier but they have a picture and number system– and if it means that much to you to know what’s in the dish– download an app!
This place is worth every penny and more. You’ll never get food this yummy and traditional for what they charge unless you’re actually in Colombia!
Try everything! If it looks good, get it. The first time I got something for breakfast, I swear to God my insides smiled!

We found this little Colombian gem, because it’s across the street from the bike shop were my husband services his bike.
I am Colombian and I always crave «my» food. The place is family run, very attentive and has a polite staff. The food is very good and fresh! We usually have breakfast (Arepas, coffee, eggs) the but last time we had lunch, chicken soup with all the Colombian fixings! Fantasic!
It’s not fancy but it reminds me of home! :)

I literally dream about their empanadas.
This is a tiny little Colombian spot in New Rochelle — my boyfriend introduced me to it and ever since, I have had crazy cravings for some of their food! Rinconcito has an old time diner feel to it — you have the option of sitting up at the counter on raised red stools or at one of the 3 small tables against the wall. It can get a little warm in there, but only because you are right next to the kitchen no matter where you sit!
The first time we came here, I made the mistake of ordering a bacon, egg, and cheese on a roll. What was I thinking?!? Yes, it was good, but I was being too cautious. I tried some of my bf’s empanada and I was INSTANTLY hooked! We wound up ordering a second round of empanadas that morning!
Since then, we’ve gotten take out a few times — I got to try the chicharrone. So sinful, but so delicious! Not to mention the salsa verde that they give you with each order… MMM! I’m counting the days til I can get back up to NY to gorge myself on Colombian food again!
