Reviews
What a surprise! Great food for a low price! This place is adjacent to a very bad fast station - don't hold it against it! Coming back here again - once or twice!
Comida deliciosa y servicio excelente. Tuvimos que esperar 30 minutos para sentarnos.
We planned a long layover in Orlando, just so we could could visit this restaurant. It has a local feel, and great atmosphere. The food is authentic and was hot. It is connected to a gas station, but it is a very clean restaurant.
Nestled near a gas station, El Rinconcito emerges as a hidden culinary gem awaiting discovery. During my visit to Florida, my craving for authentic Cuban cuisine led me serendipitously to this humble establishment as I put gas in my rental car. I was Intrigued by the crowded restaurant so I decided to venture inside and place a takeout order. I ordered for the roasted pork belly with Cuban rice and plantains, alongside an avocado salad and flan for dessert, I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the dish as I devoured my food in my hotel. The pork was tender and juicy and the pork skin was crispy. The different flavor on the Cuban rice alongside the sweet and perfectly fried plantain satisfied my craving. Don't forget to grab flan to finish your meal because it will sure complete the meal with this creamy, perfectly sweet delight. Despite the language barrier, the staff exuded warmth and hospitality, swiftly attending to my order. In conclusion, stumbling upon El Rinconcito proved to be a fortuitous stroke of luck. With prompt service, delicious authentic food, and affordable pricing I rate this restaurant a perfect 5/5 rating, this hidden gem undoubtedly exceeded my expectations. Try this place out.
This place rocks and was very delicious. Whole red snapper took the prize and so did the empanadas. Service was great only wish my Spanish was a good as the food. Ambiance.... You have to enjoy family cooking to appreciate what I was provided. Muy buena.
