Rincon Escondido: a tiny, cozy spot serving fresh, flavorful Spanish and Argentine tapas like grilled octopus, paella, and rich fried goat cheese balls.
"Judging by the old-timey signage and wooden exterior, you might think Rincon Escondido was country western-themed. But thankfully no one is wearing cowboy hats and spurs inside this Spanish/Argentinian spot. There’s usually just one employee taking orders and a single chef who you can hear cooking a few feet from your table. It’s all tapas here, so bring a few people to share - but the tortilla de chorizo, fried goat cheese balls, and Serrano ham croquettes are all good enough to consume without any help." - Ryan Pfeffer
"This Spanish/Argentinian spot is not a place for big groups—even a party of two is going to feel slightly cramped in here. But a lack of elbow room is a small price to pay for food like this. They only have one person working the kitchen, cooking up things like gambas al ajillo (sauteed shrimp), pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus), and fried goat cheese balls you should absolutely order. It’s very impressive, but it also means you might be waiting a little longer than normal for your food, so don’t come in a rush." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo, mariana trabanino
