[Updated] El Rinconcito is on the move

El Rinconcito, the family-owned Latin American restaurant at 408 E. 10th St. between Avenue C and Avenue D, is closing on Friday ahead of a move to a new (undisclosed) location... (thanks to the reader for the pic!)
No word yet on the new space. 

And based on a recent Instagram post, we'll have a little while to wait: "Our new location is still in the process of construction ... We hope to open in the coming months." 

El Rinconcito has been serving delicious and inexpensive food here since 1994.

Updated... EVG reader Stacie Joy stopped by...
The restaurant is moving to Avenue C near Fifth Street for a year or so while 408 E. 10th St. is being renovated. Sounds as if they will be returning to the building someday.

And as a P.S. — the tree out front here came down at some point this past weekend (reader photo!)...

Wishing them well for their new space. Their food is really good, and it's always had a friendly atmosphere.

Another tree down! As a frequent pedestrian I am beginning to wonder about my safety.

A longtime favorite of mine. Good luck to them through the transition!

This friendly, family owned, neighborhood restaurant has some of the best food around. Been eating there for many years. I will be watching for news of their new location. Wish they moved a little further West so I don't have to walk so far...but it will be worth it, even if they moved two miles away.
