About Us |  El Rinconcito Salvadoreño Restaurant

El Rinconcito Salvadoreño was born from a dream — a dream to share the food, history, and hospitality of El Salvador with our local community in Asbury Park. What started as a humble kitchen has become a go-to spot for those craving an authentic taste of Salvadorian cuisine.

Our name means “The Little Salvadorian Corner,” and that’s exactly what we strive to be: a warm, welcoming space where families, friends, and neighbors can come together to enjoy food that’s rich in flavor and tradition.

Salvadorian cuisine is a beautiful reflection of our country’s history — a blend of indigenous Lenca roots, Spanish influence, and deeply rooted family recipes. Our most iconic dish, the pupusa, is a handmade corn tortilla stuffed with cheese, beans, or meat, and it’s been passed down through generations as a symbol of unity and culture.

But our menu doesn’t stop there — from sopa de res to tamales de elote, every dish is prepared with fresh ingredients, traditional spices, and plenty of love.

At El Rinconcito Salvadoreño, we believe food is a bridge — one that connects memories, cultures, and people. Whether you’re new to Salvadorian cuisine or you grew up with it, you’ll always find a seat at our table.

I was blown away by the flavors here! The pupusas tasted just like the ones my grandma used to make back home. The restaurant has such a warm, welcoming vibe — it really feels like a little piece of El Salvador right here in New Jersey. Can’t wait to come back!

This is hands down the best Salvadoran food I’ve had in the U.S. The tamales were soft and flavorful, and the plantain empanadas were sweet and perfectly fried. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Highly recommend for anyone craving real Salvadoran cuisine.

José R.

Everything we ordered was incredible! The pupusas were stuffed generously and full of flavor. I especially loved the loroco and cheese combo. The atmosphere is very homey and family-friendly. Definitely adding this spot to our regular rotation.

What a hidden gem! I stopped by on my lunch break and was pleasantly surprised. Fast service, amazing pupusas, and the curtido had the perfect tangy kick. The prices are great for the amount of food you get. I’ll be bringing coworkers next time!

If you’re looking for a real taste of El Salvador, this is the place. The ambiance is relaxed, the music is traditional, and the food is out of this world. I brought my wife here for date night and we both left happy and full.

Diego C.

Such a cozy and friendly spot! I loved how everything on the menu feels homemade. The beans and rice were perfectly seasoned, and the pupusas were crispy on the outside and cheesy inside. Truly a place made with love.

Sandra L.

This restaurant is a treasure! The staff treated us like family and the food brought back so many memories of my childhood in El Salvador. The horchata was rich and creamy, just how I like it. I’m so glad I found this place!

Marvin E.

My whole family loved it here! We tried a bit of everything — pupusas, yuca frita, tamales, and even the horchata. Everything tasted homemade and authentic. The place was clean and the staff was kind. It felt like a little family gathering.
