I do think it’s a little pricey, I think a lot of things are ~$2 more compared to Azteca.
Went there once for lunch. It’s cool inside, but took forever. Food was decent lunch stuff, nothing amazing.
Aztecas chile verde is legit. They do a great job. The combination of value and service is really good.
While I like Rinconcito a little bit more on purely the basis of food, I like both places a lot.
This is exactly why I no longer eat at any of his places. Not trying to cave this one but if you want to see a relevant example of his character, just search YouTube for "Shares his INSANE "Proof" China is going to Attack Us" (I left out the first word in the title of the video for obvious reasons) and it's an interview he did earlier this year that if you didn't put much into what was exposed in the article linked above then you may think differently after you hear the 5 minute interview he did. Again, I am not trying to cave or politicize this which is why I just shared a way to find the interview I am referring to without actually posting the video. My intent here is providing an example of what a POS he is in general regardless what you think of his politics.
Sexual Harassment, Booze, and Barbecue: Inside Bruce Gerleman’s Restaurant Empire
In early June, shortly after restaurant dining returned to Des Moines from the COVID-19 shutdown, Kelly Anderson Vizcarra took her two sons, ages seven and ten, to Jethro’s BBQ Southside, the newes…iowainformer.com
Noticed there hasn't been any cars in the parking lot of Mongolian Buffet lately so we drove by to check out the situation. Hand written sign in the window saying ownership had changed and it was going to be remodeled to Korean BBQ.
I can't believe that place lasted as long as it did.

Not a bad choice. Half of their salad bar was already well on its way to fermenting into kimchi, anyway.
Tried Rinconcinto last week. Salsa has a weird color/texture/flavor which is a deal breaker for me. Street Tacos were pretty good, though.
Heard five people never showed up on Sunday to work and someone else walked out. Sounds like they might be closing at 3 pm for now due to not having a full kitchen staff.
Not a great sign of ownership/management IMO.
imo - Mullets is foolishly following the Fongs Pizza model where you have a good thing going with 1 OG location but overextend yourself with multiple spots. Fongs went from 1 to 4 and then back down to 1 in like 5 years
Mullets also now is up to like 3 locations?
A friend went to Mullets Friday and said food and service were good. Sounds like it was packed. Hopefully they can figure out the staffing.
Stopped last week because it said online that they were open but when we arrived there was a sign on the door saying they were closed for a private event.
Hope it doesn't turn out like most other local restaurants that try to expand throughout the metro. Seems like a a number of them fail or tarnish their original location with controversies.
Prior to their opening Friday I think they were testing things out for staff and family/friends.
