El Rinconcito opened Friday in its new home at 73-75 Avenue C between Fifth Street and Sixth Street.
The reasonably priced Latin American restaurant closed in the summer of 2021 at its home of 27 years at 408 E. 10th St. between Avenue C and Avenue D. (The building on 10th Street was undergoing a gut renovation.)
And after some Con Ed-related delays, the new space was finally able to open.
Owner Pedro Rodriguez and his family said that they were thrilled with the support from the community while waiting to open ...
The staff was happy to be up and running...
... as well as patrons who filled the space for dining in or taking out...
So far, the best-sellers are the (new) fettuccine a la vodka con camarones (shrimp) and Irma's mofongo ...
Hours of operation for now: 8 a.m. to 9 p.m., six days a week. Closed on Sundays.
If you're on Instagram, you can follow them there. Or the old-fashioned way: (212) 254-1381.

The smiles say it all!
Happy they are finally open and look forward to checking it out. Hopefully the continued focus on reducing red tape leads to reductions in the absurd wait times tied to ConEd!
