Breakfast burrito
Sevak E.

Honestly love this place! Food is great and customer service is fantastic. I have been trying to find a place with good Mexican food in the area and this tops all the places. The breakfast burrito is phenomenal, I would definitely recommend you all to try it. Prices are great too. I am pretty sure you all would love this place definitely give it a try!

To answer your question "Mary B," Finding wonderful little family-owned eateries and sharing them with each other is really what yelp is all about. A question worth asking yelp members is: "Why did you start your yelp account?" That is exactly why, I'm all about supporting the little guy bustin' his A%$ trying to make a living, and in most cases you'll find better tasting and more authentic Mexican food from those small places, street vendors etc.. Another reason I love yelp is you can find places like this that I might not have found on my own since I don't frequent that area. So thanks to Mary B. for sharing her review on El Rincon but.......I'm now craving BBQ and peach cobbler. It's a small place but has a good menu selection, so I decide to try a couple tacos and some mole poblano. Tacos - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=YOukxFviy_UmJSkP3BfjFg Lengua - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=SfLLM_JhS25i94TLleK6gQ there's nothing like a little tongue, and this one is tasty!, nice tender meat, I prefer it shredded instead of cubed but it's all good. Al Pastor - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=C4kI19_Ev9BHQ6rCDO-ARA was very flavorful, meat was very moist and tender, I'm sure they don't have a trompo here but they sure do get the flavor. Salsa - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=Y0TR6HimQodlj1xafQ1VLA to me was a fail, very bland flavor tasted like a thinned out tomato sauce. Mole Poblano con Polo - http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=314Xa3XylQO6SLNwTsUcnA wow the mole was EXCELLENT, what great flavor!, and the chicken breast was cooked perfectly still moist http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=qt_AL7mtGXR0mcwjdwayXA http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HPNYWhhGWKo1-KKdqvO39A?select=P7kykH1Ug4OvknnhvXJUdA but the rice was hummmm not all that and unfortunately the beans were horrible. The beans were lighter in color than a normal pinto bean should be and a very odd taste, when I asked what kind of beans they used I was told pinto, Hmmm so why the odd taste?, well after talking with them for awhile as they were real nice people, I found out they are using vegetable shortening, "YUCK". Seriously this is MEXICAN food and you are in Tujunga, NOT yuppy ville Beverly Hills, Silver Lake etc with all the vegetarians, keep it real and if you don't want to use lard?, psst use "Corn Oil" to re-fry your beans. All and all food is excellent but sides are sub par!, so I'd say your 3.5 pushing 4-Stars, and I'd definitely go back when in the area.

Had the enchiladas suizas and huevos rancheros. Their aguas frescas are delicious and best I've had in a long time!

This place is delicious and if you want authentic Mexican food, you must come and try this place. Their aguas frescas are fantastic! Great customer service.

Fresh made tortilla chips, fresh guac...the beef and chicken enchiladas are some of the best I've ever had. The enchilada red sauce is not my favorite,...i can only describe it as being more like a thinner mole sauce, but it's still tasty. The parking lot is a questionable due to the other businesses in the little strip mall (seriously,...how many vape shops are there in Tujunga ?!) so the curb appeal is unassuming. Great service, clean, and inviting inside.

Mmmm tacos

See all
