"It opened in 1994, but closed down a couple of years ago, only to reopen at this brand new location on Avenue C. El Rinconcito has retained its menu of Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban fare, centered on various forms of mofongo, the dome of mashed plantain that can be flavored and extended in dozens of different ways. The usual pernil and rotisseries chicken are also available, and the place now looks like a gleaming diner by the highway." - Robert Sietsema
