Last we checked back in March, there was a legit dumpster fire.
Like the way it’s now coming together?
Before:
It’s official!! El Rinconcito II finally reopening after suffering a terrible fire nearly a year ago. After Thursday’s news that Taqueria Distrito Federal had closed their 14th Street location this is welcome news indeed.
Kevin sums up the feeling of many nicely: “At least 2017 isn’t a total loss.”

SAF reports:
“Headed out today with a friend to have lunch at the 14th Street location of TDF. We ran into Luis on the street as we were walking up, wondering why the place looked closed. He’s closed this location, leaving only Kennedy Street. Their lease was up, and the rent was going up too much for him to afford.
He is planning to stay on Kennedy Street though – made the comment that he’s glad he got in early, as the prices are really rising up there too!”
