    Caldo de Res
    Victoria J.

    An Authentic food delight! 4.5 star I was a little confused and intimidated at first entering the store, (my Spanish is rusty). The owner Andy directed me to where I place my order (Wish I would've researched the menu before arriving). I think the women taking my order felt my anxiety; however, she was patient, understanding. I ordered the Caldo de res and the tamales de masa y pollo. Caldo de res: Best I've had in OKC. The Caldo had tons of flavor. To top it off they gave me a huge Styrofoam bowl full of stew. Tamales de Masa y Pollo: You can taste the heritage. The banana leaf gave the tamales different layers of flavor. Every layer was delicious. It was my first time trying Guatemalan tamales The tamales were huge! I plan on researching the menu and returning with an empty stomach...I'll need to be rolled out of El Rincon, I'm coming for the rice and potato tamales.

    Potato tamales  $2.50 each

    How did I find this hidden gem? Well I have to credit Gary for this. Back in the day... before the Plaza District was the hustle and bustle that it is today, there used to be a Guatemalan grocery store with a tiny restaurant inside. I was under the impression that Chiltepes was now the restaurant part... and the grocery part was across the street. Turns out I was wrong... yes ladies... I do admit I am wrong (on that note...dating applications welcome). But I digress. .. the restaurant is now El Riconcito on NW 13th and May. Did I say restaurant ?.. I meant the whole concoction... grocery store and restaurant. There are a few items on the menu on the board from fried chicken to beef tongue in tomato sauce to beef stew to Carne Asada to chicken/beef in mole sauce. They had 3 types of tamales; corn, rice and potato? The drinks were Horchata and Naranja .. whatever that is. I first chose the Lengue con salsa (beef tongue in tomato sauce) ... The English speaking guy asked if I would like a sample... because he didn't want me to get something I didn't care for. It was pretty good, but didn't seem filling enough. In retrospect I should have gotten that. I ordered the Carne Asada... thanks to the Taco Bell commercials. It came with a 1/4 of an Avocado, salad, black beans, pasta salad and tortillas. All this for under $10? The Carne Asada itself was a little tough/ fatty... but there was enough to fill you up. I am sure it is hard to get really good cuts of meat for that purpose. I tried the fried chicken, which was pretty good and a little of the potato tamales. It was a different flavor from the regular Mexican tamales. It is Guatemalan and it was potatoes with jalapeños and chicken in a giant banana leaf for $2.50. I am definitely ordering a tamale from here in the future. The drink selection is what was listed above or the Mexican drinks in cans or bottles. I got a coconut drink for $2. Walking through the grocery store enticed me to get a chocolate berry ice cream for $1.25. A lady was actually dipping bananas in chocolate and adding them to the freezer for $1.25. I was truly impressed with the service and attention they showed their customers. I forsee a future meetup here. This place is a solid 4.5 in my opinion

    I really like El Quetzal, awesome Latin American restaurant. More people should check this place…read moreout but it's not perfect though. They have the robot that brings out food for you like at certain hot pot restaurants. The robot was not precise and it would stop at random table instead of the exact table where it should be. Could be because the restaurant is small for this robot or the set up was not good. Service was excellent. Server came to check on me four times. Plantains were great. The el mar which is a seafood combination dish and included lobster tail, shrimps, and a piece of salmon. The dish was really cheap, only $23.99. The shrimps and salmon were good. The lobster tail was not the most fresh. The meat at body end was soft/soggy. The mixed vegetables were frozen vegetables. Please never ever use frozen mixed vegetables. I would rather pay a little more for fresh vegetables. I didn't quite understand the use of salsa as there were no chips for it. There were tortillas but salsa and tortillas don't go together, am I right? Who knows? I didn't touch neither. This restaurant also has burgers, steaks, and pasta which I haven't tried. I feel like wether you give this a 4 or 5 stars all come down to what you order. An incorrect order will automatically knock it down to 4 stars. It is such a cool restaurant though. I wish Tulsa has something similar.

Got three things - their pastelitos maiz, which are like corn based empanadas filled with rice and beef. We LOVED it - so good with the little slaw and pickled onions they served it with. And great portions too! Also got parrillada la fonda - which was their meat sampler served with some slaw, beans, and fried green plantains. Pros - literally everyrhing. Meats were seasoned and grilled great, and we loved the sauce that it was served with. Seemed like some kind of hot sauce + sour cream? Whatever it was, it was DELICIOUS. We looooved it. I also got one order of the catrachas to try - the menu doesn't say what it was so we were totally gambling on what it was, but it's a fried corn tortilla, topped with beans, pickled onions, and some cheese. Tortilla was a little soggy by the time it got to us but I bet it'd be delicious in store. All in all, loved the food. We'll go back in person one day so we can see the ambience and comment a little on the service, but for now - the food will keep us coming back for sure!

    This place is a little bit of a hidden gem. Food was definitely delicious however the presentation…read morefor the food was just all over the place. They just threw it together in one box squeezed all together but no doubt the sauce that was on the chicken was sweet and sour and just perfectly delicious for the chicken. The chicken was crunchy somewhat but soggy towards the bottom due to the sauce being all in. I also got some of the corn Karipap looking pie which had rice and beef on the inside. That dough was a little too salty but the beef on the inside was just sooo good.

So first they tried to sit us at a round booth with a rectangle table that didn't fit so that was poor planning. We asked for a different table and they obliged, no biggie. The oldest young man told us we could scan the QR code for the menu and then left. The menu site had big ads that made it hard to be visible sometimes but we worked through it. He immediately came back and started asking if we knew what we wanted. He didn't even offer drinks, we had to ask and tell him we were figuring it out. We ordered appetizers and food eventually. The empanadas came out, the description said there was meat in them, I saw none. He asked us if we wanted plates, we said yes please and silverware. He brought plates, my husband had to get up and get silverware. Then almost immediately our food came so the timing was poor. The food came out a little at a time. Like our sides and then our mains with some space in between. As they left from the first round of drop off, one of the boys farted really loud right next to our table and just walked off. No excuse me. No I'm sorry. The food was fine and okay, the experience with the wait staff made it just not enjoyable. Also, the carne asada doesn't seem to be actually carne asada so it felt like a lot of things were not as promised. We watched them lock the door a half hour early so be aware they don't honor their posted hours.
