When you're the first to add a business to Yelp but slack on writing a review, you end up being the second person to review Your Little Corner. But you still give it a good recommendation when its due.
I first came across Tu Rinconcito during this month's First Friday when the good communal crowd that they brought in and delicious looking coffee beverages had me instantly mental bookmark it to try, and I was very impressed when I did.
This little corner doubles as both a coffeehouse and a neighborhood taqueria in an Old City neighborhood that could really use one. While Lucha Cartel dishes out good TexMex in a bar setting, and Las Bugambilias is a great sit down Mexican restaurant; that's all Old City really had for Mexican food, and a corner spot that echoes that South Philly taqueria vibe that doubles a coffeehouse is a very good thing!
Honestly, the only reason I give four stars is because breakfast ending at 11:30 am on the weekend was a bit of a downer for not just me going off the # of people who came in and left after me when they weren't able to snag a breakfast burrito, and upping breakfast time on Saturdays and Sundays would absolutely bring in an Old City brunch crowd. But I was able to pivot and enjoy some delicious tacos al pastor. While the pork might have been a bit on the drier side, it was nothing that lemons and homemade hot sauces couldn't fix, and the spices and flavor were there!
The iced americano was the perfect wake up call, and it was a spot on first visit that will likely lead to many more.
