"The narrow, Sal-Mex cafe near Mt. Vernon Square has helped customers nurse many hangovers over the years with hearty breakfast plates. The desayuno tipico is a Salvadoran breakfast composed of an egg scramble filled with tomatoes, peppers, and onions; a helping of refried beans; fried plantains; crema; crumbly Salvadoran cheese, and avocado, and two thick tortillas. All that comes for just $11.95, or $14.50 with the addition of Salvadoran chorizo. El Rinconcito also offers a huevos rancheros plate for under $10 ($12.50 with chorizo). It’s never too early to order a pupusa, either. Order takeout online starting at 10:30 a.m." - Lisa Ruland, Gabe Hiatt, Tierney Plumb
