Rincon Latino

Roasted jalepenos, chips, slaw & sopes.

This is what I call getting the most for your money. On Sunday at Rincon Latino we ordered plantains with sour cream (delicious), two pupusas, and two sopes. Our total bill, with tip, was just at $15. The restaurant offers complimentary roasted jalepenos, which went very well with the sopes - watch out, though, they're hot! When they bring the check they also offer cajeta lollipops, which are delicious. Definitely a worthy BuHi spot to try. The decor is very simple and some of the waitresses don't speak much English, but their menu is in English and they are very helpful about finding someone to answer all questions.

Pupusa Heaven

Recently I tried Pupusas (thick, stuffed handmade tortillas found primarily in El Salvador) from two Atlanta locations: Rincon Latino and El Salvador Restaurant. Both were quite tasty. While the decor at Rincon is nothing to write home about, the blasting music at El Salvador may be too much for some people. I did like that El Salvador offered two styles of cabbage slaw for the pupusas - one spicy and one mild. Rincon provides patrons with cajeta (caramel) lollipops along with the check, which was a surprising treat. Unfortunately I didn't get any photos of the pupusas, but here is a look at the chips & salsa, condiment platter and spicy slaw at El Salvador Restaurant. Both restaurants serve Mexican dishes as well as Salvadoran specialties.
