El Rincon Criollo

I don’t give out 5 stars regularly. So kids, listen up.
Firstly, I want to say how much I enjoyed walking around the Yellow Green Farmers Market. So much diversity in offerings from vegan/​vegetarian to Ethiopian to Indonesian. The place was hopping! Your stomach is only so big, so you need to choose wisely. We walked around the entire market before deciding.
We saw a few people making handmade «something» in a tent just outside the main market. It reminded me of some areas where they make handmade tortillas. We were intrigued. They mentioned they were making bbq ribs (husband happy, not me) and then she said plantains patty. I was ready, something I never quite had like this.
I ordered the Pantacon (green plantain sandwich) with avocado, tomato, cheese, and homemade garlic sauce. I can’t describe how good this very simple sandwich was. Delicious! Of course, most would order with chicken, beef, or pork. If that’s your thing, go for it!
There are a few nice picnic tables nearby and a counter at the stand. The owners were extremely friendly and helpful. I couldn’t resist getting a cheese/​plantain empanada to go. It was amazing, not your typical empanada, Venezuelan style with a corn cake outside. Can’t wait to go back!
