A friend of mine advised that he had eaten at El Rinconcito De Lima earlier in the week and suggested we go for lunch. I was in the mood for pho or ramen and really didn't want to go, but he insisted. As we approcahed the location, I was a bit turned off and starting giving my lunch partner the serious side eye. We walked by the food truck (kitchen), where we were greeted by the individuals cooking and into a small eating area. I was immediately impressed with how clean it looked and smelled. So my doubt eased and I proceeded to scan the menu. To my surprise, it was filled with many options and they all looked amazing. Having been an avid diner at Cerviche Jax, I was eager to see how El Rinconcito De Lima would compare. We decided on a few dishes for comparison's sake. The first were the empanadas. These are by far the best I have had. They were filled with seasoned beef and onions. Absolutely delish! We then had a ceviche-type cold soup that had quite the kick. It was like nothing I had tasted before. The dish was filled with red onions, fish and a tiger milk based broth that exploded with the tanginess of lime and added heat. The first taste had me puckering like a fish, but after getting used it, I found it to be really tasty. Next, we had the chicken. Nobody does Peruvian chicken like the people of Peru and this place did not disappoint. It was grilled and seasoned to perfection and extremely moist. Since, I originally had a desire for soup, I ordered the Parihuela, which was filled with calamari, shrimp, fish, mussels, onions, peppers and potatoes (or may yucca). It also included a side of rice, which would have gone great mixed with the soup. Move over gumbo! Amazing was the best word to describe this dish. My soup craving was completely satisfied. I even had enough to take home for leftovers. I have finally found a Peruvian restaurant I can go to for a delicious meal. Again, the atmosphere was a bit different; however, the food and music totally made up for it. I was also pleasantly surprised with the bill, which was relatively cheap for all of the food we ordered. I will most definitely visit this establishment again and suggest that you treat yourself to El Rinconcito De Lima's delicious cuisine. read more

El Rinconcito De Lima - Pollo a la Brasa - Peruvian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

I've driven passed El Rinconcito De Lima for over two years, only to muster up the courage to try it a few weeks back. The verdict? It was so good I visited two days in a row! Do not sleep on this unassuming Peruvian food truck. These guys are legit. They even have an indoor, air-conditioned seating area with a flat-screen television. During my inaugural visit, Enter The Dragon was on; hell to the yeah! Onto the delicious food: Papa Rellena - Stupendously tasty. The potato was tender to the umpteenth degree. Probably my favorite dish here, because it was just unexpectedly delicious and full of massive amounts of flavor. Beef Empanada - I'm typically let down by empanadas, but this one was a winner. Seasoned beef was the frontrunner in making the saliva run down my chin. Good texture from the dough, as well. Tamales de Chancho - A GREAT tamale. Soft, delicate, I almost wanted to put a bow on it and not touch it. Interesting flavors and textures made this a memorable bite for me. Taco Tacu con Lomo Saltado - This is Lomo Saltado on steroids, because it's loaded with rice underneath. I wish the beef and the rice were cooked a little less, but the veggies had beautiful texture to them. The owners are super nice. It's a locals only type place, so shhhh don't let the word out! Kidding, show these guys some love. This Beach Blvd. hole-in-the-wall deserves it! read more

This small restaurant may be hard to find because it looks like you are pulling into the parking lot of an auto repair shop, but it is well worth finding! Our family held a dinner party here for one member who is married to a Peruvian. We had different menu items but we all agreed that the food was delicious. The service was excellent, as well. We were there on a less busy night so I don't know how it is on weekends. I would definitely go back and to try another dish. I had the chicken Lomo Saltado; so good! read more

El Rinconcito De Lima - Peruvian Near Me - Jacksonville, Florida

My coworkers and I had lunch here. This place was hard to find. I guess they moved to a new location, but when we got there, we saw a food truck parked in front and a small room for dining. They cook the food in the truck and bring to the dining area. I'm not going to complain since the food is delicious. Good Peruvian food. I ordered the Aji de Gallina. It's pulled boiled chicken breast in a creamy yellow sauce served with boiled potato slices and white rice. Loved the yellow sauce, but the plate could definitely use more chicken. Plenty of carbs, but not enough protein to offset. I had a taste of their Lomo Saltado (sliced steak chunks) and Pollo A La Brasa. The pollo (chicken) was slow roasted in authentic Peruvian charcoal rotisserie oven. The taste is out of this world! Too bad they only offer 1/4 chicken platter. 1/2 chicken platter would have been nice. Friendly family-owned establishment. 3.5 stars! read more

Yumm! There is not much else I can say about this restaurant. It's a little hole in the wall type of place but oh what a wonderful surprise. This is the most authentic Peruvian restaurant I've tried in Jacksonville. I have already planned to come back next week a try the lomo saltado and the seafood soup. I recommend the ceviche, you will not find a fresher one anywhere! read more

Fui con mucha ilusión a comer pollo a la brasa, sorpresa!!, El pollo era tan pequeño que parecía casi una paloma, las papas fritas blandas, lo mejor fue la ensalada pero sirvieron poquito, honestamente una decepción, no vuelvo a ir ahhh y.el costo del pollo entero fue $32.84. read more

If you haven't had a chance to stop by, you should! The service was very fast and friendly. We ordered the ceviche, lomo saltado, and tallarín verde con Bistec. It was delicious! My husband and I pretty much devoured it :) As a Peruvian, I am pretty picky about my Peruvian food and this one hits the spot. If I ever find myself in this area again, I will make sure to stop by. We also had our pup with us and the owner was great about bringing water for her and being friendly with her. Great experience overall. read more

I ordered the tacu tacu with lomo, rotisserie chicken and huancaina noodles with lomo. First I have to say lomo was delicious, rotisserie chicken was ok but as a Peruvian a little dissatisfied with the beans( not authentic Peruvian beans) and the rotisserie chicken wasn't serve as the Peruvian traditional pollo a la brasa. No sauces, no salad not spicy sauce. I will appreciate if this restaurant will cook Peruvian food to honor the real authentic Peruvian food. No me den gato por liebre. Gracias. read more

Really like the food and the employees, the place was very welcoming and enjoyable. Would go there the next time I can!

Chino and I love Luis. Great Peruvian Flavors! Tacu Tacu with double meat is my go to. I enjoy the ceviche la chalaca occasionally. Love the customer service and the welcomeness. read more

This food is AMAZINGGG. They don't cook at 100% , they cook at 120% ! Everything I have ever tried here is delicious to a "T". I can never seem to stop myself from ordering more than one plate here at a time because of how delicious it is. I first fell in love with this place when it started out on the flea market. Now he has relocated to a food truck ( next to the bridge on beach Boulevard leading towards university on the left hand side in an United Auto car lot). However they do have a inside room where you may sit and dine or sit and wait for your take order! Definitely worth the wait. #MustTry read more

Best little hole in the wall you will find! If you love Peruvian food this is a must! My boyfriend is from Lima and does not "do" flea markets by any chance but goes out of his way to eat here every weekend along with all of his Peruvian friends. If that isn't a good sign I'm not sure what is. His favorite dish is the Pollo a la brasa (Rotisserie Chicken) and the Lomo Saltado. Both are amazing and full of flavor! They also have a green hot sauce that is out of this world, they refuse to share the recipe but I highly recommend you try it! The worst part is this is tricky to find. You have to weave your way through the flea market to find the food court area, I'd make it an adventure hunt whilst browsing the vendors. Good luck! read more

My Peruvian friend Kenneth mentioned to me that there is a little place at Beach Blvd Flea Market serving delicious food. The menu is extensive, lots of the main original Peruvian dishes. The owner Luis prepares all the meals. I ordered Lomo Saltado because people from Perú have masterized this dish. Lomo saltado is a popular, traditional Peruvian dish, a stir fry that typically combines marinated strips of sirloin, or other beef steak, with onions, tomatoes, and other ingredients, served with fried potato slices (french fries) and rice. The dish originated as part of the chifa tradition, the Chinese cuisine of Peru, though its popularity has made it part of the mainstream culture.(Wikipedia). It was delicious, maybe it needee more salt for my taste. read more

Went to this hole in the wall and was pleasantly surprised. We had a hard time finding the place but it was worth the headache. The place is small and not much too look at from the outside, however, the food was on point. We had the Anticuchos, Lomo Saltado and Ceviche, and we liked all the dishes served. The Ceviche had too many onions but it was very good, the Anticuchos were tasty but small in size and the Lomo was also tasty. Overall, the service was great, reasonably priced and the food was good. We will be going back. read more

these guys have amazing food. The chicken the best smoked chicken in Jax. Great service and great environment

Best Peruvian ever! The truck came to our complex and I had three of the dishes. Can't wait to visit the flea market! Yum!!!

We came here with the best intentions and although the surrounding area was not particularly clean we were still going to try it but unfortunately the lady helping the chef was without a doubt on drugs. It was very unpleasant and uncomfortable. My review is based purely on that and not the taste of the food. I hope he gets new help! read more

A hole in the wall location and service. I asked for seco de res and the cook "owner" substituted five day old chicken instead and boxed it up to go and thought that we would not know the difference? (integrity issue in my opinion) Also, the tamales are smaller than I've ever seen and a high price for what you get. The food is not fresh and the flavor is not the greatest and lacks seasoning. They have pictures of the food posted on a board, and I questioned the owner's wife (that checked me out ) why does the picture not match the food that we received and she said that those are just pictures it's not of the actual food that they have made. Wow! Sounds like false advertisement I guess this is what you get when you go to the flea market to pick up food. Never again! read more
