EL RINCONCITO CAFETERIA – Mexican
El Rinconcito Cafeteria began in 1997 as a small walk-up counter on West 56th Street in Hialeah, the work of Rosa Rivera and Pedro Delgado, serving buttered toast, Cuban coladas, and cortaditos from a modest takeout canteen. The counter has since grown into a dining room pairing Cuban staples with Puerto Rican plates, mofongo chief among them, mashed plantain packed around your choice of meat. The coffee remains a house strength, poured strong and sweet alongside a case of desserts regulars single out by name. Dine in, grab curbside pickup, or have it delivered; the pace stays unhurried either way.
