First time here but not the last time. I wanted something different so I decided to check this place out. While they had some offerings on DoorDash, if you go there personally, you get a better scope of their menu. It's a very small, hole in the wall type of place. Not a blink and you'll miss it, but you probably aren't going to bring a ton of people with you. Very dicey and very much for the locals. Not IG famous. But that's beside the point: it has amazing food, quick service, and super nice employees! They answered all of my questions and they were so patient with me! The carne asada fries came fully loaded: beans, tomatoes, lettuce, avocado, onions, sauce, sour cream, carne asada, and fries. It is a lot and honestly, you might need to share it with another person or 2 more people. But it's so good, y'all! It's really good! Highly recommend it! Seriously, you need to come here. I highly recommend it!

Omg! This is a hidden gem here in Baldwin Park, service was amazing! Food is 100/100 I had a Pambazo my bf had a cemita

Alhambre
Winn H.

TLDR: Average food, above average prices. Possibly a good once-in-a-while location to visit, but I would rather try something new if given the opportunity. - - - - - - El Rinconcito Azteca feels like a small mom and pop shop, and I wish I had visited earlier in the day. Instead, I came on a weekend afternoon, and it was fairly empty. The restaurant is located on the corner of a block, but there is nearby parking as well. I ordered the Alhambre - probably butchered the spelling of that - and it is like most of their premium entrees priced at $15 before tax / tip. I took it to go, and it was 4 4 tortillas, steak, a side salad, rice, and beans. I have to admit that the food was pretty petite. I tried to make it two meals, but it was pretty difficult - if anything 1.5 meals was doable. I wasn't a big fan of the tortillas; they were pretty brittle and crumbly. The rice and beans were alright - thankfully not too salty like other restaurants that I had visited. The cheesy steak was alright, but I felt as if the cheese was meant to mask the flavor of the meat - not sure why. Overall, I didn't enjoy the steak too much; there were pieces that were quite tough to chew.

Huarache pollo

First time trying Huarache. It was delicious!! Chicken tamales was too soggy for me, but it was good. I would definitely come back and try other dishes.

Enchiladas Verdes
Elba C.

First time eating here and did not like it. Enchiladas Verdes- the chicken is the chicken they use for the tacos it's crispy not shredded. The sals has no flavor. The beans taste like if they were burn. Pupusas Revueltas- not good they do not taste like pupusas at all. I do t recommend the food at all Es la primera vez que comí aquí y no me gustó. Enchiladas Verdes: el pollo es el pollo que usan para los tacos, es crujiente, no rallado. Las salsas no tienen sabor. Los frijoles saben como si estuvieran quemados. Pupusas Revueltas: no son buenas, no saben a pupusas en absoluto. No recomiendo la comida en absoluto

I'm not a local but I wanted to take my mom somewhere close by. My daughter found this place on Yelp and we decided to check it out! We walked in pretty early and the place was empty. Did see that the local police was just leaving after breakfast so that was a good sign. We ordered and our meals were ready with in minutes! The service was friendly and the food did have good flavor. They do serve beer that's a plus. Overall I will return!

Chilaquiles con Huevo, Chilaquiles con Huevo, Huevos Rancheros
Michelle R.

I am so glad we came across this place after a hike at Eaton Canyon. We were looking for huevos rancheros and chilaquiles, something with a home cooked vibe. Most breakfast places these days lack authenticity and cater more to the aesthetic of things. This place definitely delivered. The chilaquiles and huevos rancheros were flavorful. And it was a pretty goof portion size for price. The service was very welcoming as well. It felt like I was eating at home. Althought there wasnt many people dining in, there was a lot of people picking up to go orders.

Tacos de Carne Asada, Al Pastor, Suadero y Chorizo con Papa

Mi Rinconcito Azteca is located on the corner of Orange Grove Blvd and N. Raymond Ave the former location of Maritza's Restaurant, Huraches seem to be their specialty but they do offer a pretty nice variety of food from Breakfast to Lunch/Dinner, but I'm here to check out some tacos. Tacos ($1.60) https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-rinconcito-azteca-pasadena-3?select=xOrwiKkyphSN06spGI1Jpg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Carne Asada - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-rinconcito-azteca-pasadena-3?select=l6TNkyFcLht14EaVBiTVIg&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Nice lean and tender beef, could have been grilled more but did have good flavor, tortillas were nothing special. 3.5-Stars Al Pastor - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-rinconcito-azteca-pasadena-3?select=dJgljUdTfz74lthK-4Z8sQ&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg No trompo here and not much flavor either, nothing bad just ok. 3-Stars Suadero - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-rinconcito-azteca-pasadena-3?select=0Lf8T1YJOAK6u48FhtkMzQ&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg A nice mix of some crisp bits with flavorful beefy goodness and some good salsa's. 4-Stars Chorizo con Papa - https://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/mi-rinconcito-azteca-pasadena-3?select=CQWAygUYZAalcWDEVNwnsQ&userid=mXl8GMozjLoraG7PyFHWkg Chirizo porky goodness mixed with papas done well. 4-Stars

Flautas de pollo
Rosa S.

I was not expecting my flautas to be this good . For 12dlls you get this and a drink which I thought it was pretty fair . I came here during my lunch time around 12-1 and they had my food ready in less than 15 min . Def coming back again !
