El Rinconcito
About This Spot
Stepping into El Rinconcito in Rogers feels like finding a little well-loved corner where the rhythms of a busy day slow down just enough to savor a genuine meal and a welcoming smile. The atmosphere is cozy yet lively, filled with the gentle hum of conversations, the clinking of glasses, and the occasional comforting sizzle from the kitchen. It's the kind of neighborhood spot where familiar faces mingle with newcomers, all drawn by a shared appreciation for food that feels homemade and thoughtfully prepared.
The pace here is warm and unhurried, an invitation to sit back and enjoy dishes crafted with care and authentic flavors that bring stories from Mexican kitchens to the heart of Arkansas. Whether it’s early morning and the aroma of breakfast tacos fills the air, or later when the tables fill with plates of richly seasoned tacos, molcajetes, and hearty salsas, every bite seems to carry both tradition and the gentle attention of those who care deeply about their craft.
El Rinconcito’s charm is not just in its food but in its ability to create moments that go beyond the meal. It’s the quick, motherly care extended when someone isn’t feeling well, the staff’s friendly attentiveness, and the sense that here, you’re not just a customer but part of something more personal. You don’t just come for the taste; you come for the familiar comfort that wraps around you with every visit, making it easy to understand why locals keep returning and new friends are made over shared platters and refreshing micheladas.

Tacos are yummy, and our micheladas are yummier. I love how they are open early in the morning for breakfast . Tortillas are great . Shout out to the ladies (waitresses) at El Riconcito for attending my son asap when he was not feeling well. They rushed to get him a caldito and attended him with motherly care & love that's why this is one of my favorite places

Being new to the area, we are trying to find some good places to eat. This has been more difficult than we expected. We were starting to think we weren’t going to find any traditional Mexican food. I asked a co-worker where she liked and she said the ONLY place worth going is El Rinconcito. That was a bold statement and she was absolutely right. The food was authentic, fresh, and delicious. We all four tried different things and we all enjoyed our food. I tried the gorditas - one al pastor and one steak. They were amazing. My husband ordered some chicharron tacos and said it’s the best chicharron he’s had. Our waitress was friendly and the owner rang us up and was so polite. We told him about our food journey and that it was now complete since eating there. I look forward to going back and trying something else. And DO NOT skip the agua frescas!! My husband got the cantaloupe and I got the cucumber lime. They were both so refreshing.

I was really impressed with how authentic the Mexican food wasit had that true homemade flavor that’s hard to find. Every dish tasted fresh, well-seasoned, and full of the traditional flavors I was hoping for. On top of that, the service was fast and efficient, with the food coming out quickly without sacrificing quality. A great spot if you’re craving authentic Mexican cuisine and don’t want to wait long!

Best steak tacos in Northwest Arkansas!!! “These were bursting with flavor unbelievable” Every time I visit Northwest Arkansas I will be going here, now it’s your turn give this place a try you will not regret it.

Great service overall, and a fantastic michelada. My only real complaint is that the queso birria seemed a bit stale. It came out very quickly so they might be pre-made and reheated. And maybe a little bland for the seasoning (had to add some salt but the dish was missing something) otherwise it was a pleasant meal.

First time eating here. Ordered the Burrito California with chicken and steak. Food was good and service was fast and friendly. Will be back!

This place was legit! Much better than the over hyped places in Springdale. Enchiladas michoacanas were delicious!! Portions and value are there plus every plate you see coming out of the kitchen looks delicious. Can’t wait to go back
