El Rinconcito Colombiano

The Best Colombian Food in East Boston | Eater Boston

"Freshly-fried empanadas are a touchstone of the street food culture in Colombia. Arguably the best empanadas in Eastie, El Rinconcito serves up this Colombian classic on a greasy paper napkin, sans frills. Whether it’s chicken, plantain, beef, or cheese, the empanadas will leave you stuffed. Order an empanada or pan de queso — a roll made with tapioca flour and grated cheese that is typical in Colombia — to go, and enjoy it walking down the East Boston Greenway or along the harbor, which are both just a couple of blocks away. El Rinconcito is open for indoor dining and takeout." - Tommy Ranucci
