My cruise crew recently had breakfast at Rincon Criollo during an early morning visit to Miami,…read moreand it was one of the better dining experiences of our trip. From the moment we walked in, Judy and Diana made us feel genuinely welcome. They were the perfect hostesses--friendly, attentive, and incredibly accommodating, especially considering how early we arrived. Despite the early arrival(we literally waited outside for them to open doors), we were able to order everything we wanted from the menu. The food was good from start to finish. We ordered quite a variety of dishes for the crew as well wanted a bit of everything and everything was fresh, flavorful, and prepared with care. The standout items were definitely the beef and chicken empanadas, which were perfectly cooked with delicious fillings and just the right amount of seasoning. (However the ham Empanada was about my paper it tasted like ham in a can stuffed in crispy pastry) The omelets were great--generous portions, , and packed with ingredients. Before taking my first bite of breakfast, I started with a Cuban coffee, and that turned out to be one of the highlights of the entire meal. It was rich, bold, and exactly what I needed to get going in the morning. It did a great job of jump-starting my appetite and set the tone for an excellent breakfast experience. Everyone in our group enjoyed their meal, which says a lot considering we had eaten at several Cuban restaurants throughout Miami during our visit. Rincon Criollo stood out as #2 of the 5 we visited more than a few of the other highly rated Cuban establishments we tried. And this was better than three of them. The combination of exceptional food, warm hospitality, and outstanding service made this meal good. A special thank you to Judy and Diana for making our visit so enjoyable. Their,sense of humor & hospitality truly elevated the experience. If you're looking for authentic Cuban food, excellent service, and a welcoming atmosphere in Miami, Rincon Criollo is absolutely worth a visit.

The plantain and beef was to die for and the chorizo croquestas were handmade and sooooo good! Then the Cubano sandwich was extremely good! Give this place a try! 5/5 Rating

Kuba Cabana had a "car bar" outside their place, not sure it it's associated with the restaurant or not, but the mojitos got us in the mood for Latin food.

While we were there a DJ was playing and people were already dancing. The inside with its neon signs and décor is very Instagram/photo ready. We had croquetas, fried yuca, tamales, salad... they have it all. And all was delicious. The appetizers are perfect size for sharing.

Some were thirst and some were hungry, so I suggested we try this place. We didn't have a reservation but it was early evening. We were able to get a table for 5 quick. It's a nice place, felt classy. Luckily we came in looking classy. Our server was a nice guy. He took our orders, including my Mai Tai which was off menu. We also ordered different bites for the table. I got a tamale and also the croquetas. Both were very good, and the Mai Tai was perfect. It's got a touristy energy, a little overly Cuban. But honestly its probably not noticeable unless your from South Florida. The waiter was able to take orders and conversate in Spanish and English which was good for our table. It's a nice spot for bites and drinks. We are sure to hit here again soon.

Everything tasted so fresh and not frozen or premade. To start we had calamari and grilled octopus. Both were very good. My fiancé and I both agreed the coating/batter on the calamari was really good! It also came with a sweet Thai dipping sauce and a marinara sauce, both great! The grilled octopus also had nice flavor. For my entree I had lobster raviolis and my fiancé had seafood risotto. We both really enjoyed our entrees! Portions were generous and wholesome. I really enjoyed the cream sauce that was paired with the lobster raviolis. The seafood risotto that my fiancé ordered had shrimp, scallops and calamari. Service was great as well! Great spot to have a meal if you're staying at the hotel. We both agreed this truly was a 5 star experience!

Food was amazing along with the staff. We had a group of seven and everyone was very happy with their choices. It was a Saturday night and they were having Spanish karaoke.

While waiting for my mom's delayed flight to come in, I decided to pop over to this quaint cuban restaurant about 2 miles from thr airport. The outside definitely could use a touch up but the inside was clean, inviting and nice for a casual night out. I didnt end up ordering a drink and ordered a Ropa Vieja. This came with a choice of 2 sides, of which there are plenty of options. I ended up picking the Yuca fries and black bean rice. The Ropa Vieja was packed with flavor and the yuck fries were perfectly crispy without them being overcooked inside. The black bean rice was the perfect compliment to balance it out. I was able to fill up on one dish by myself for dinner, so you'd likely need one dish per person. The Levhin Asada was highly reccomended as well! I was happy with the price for the meal as I felt like they were priced perfectly and felt like a good value. The staff was incredibly friendly and were only ever genuinely smiling! I will definitely be back on future visits to Miami!

We sat down and a lady in glasses took our order. We didn't even ask for it recommendations and she recommended two things and literally forced us to order one and we did. It was the A lo Guijio natural and it literally tasted worse than the Costco chicken. And she told me I should order the other shredded beef thing she recommended and I said no. I want to try a Cuban sandwich and there were several on the menu. I specifically told her I wanted the steak sandwich and pointed to number one and the brought out the el kubano sandwich which was number 2. When I raised my concern she argued with me and said I ordered that one and was giving me full attitude. Please do yourself a favor and don't come there. I don't know what other people are saying but I guarantee you food suck and service is even more terrible. Go somewhere else and maybe pay a little more or even the same to make sure you get what you order and probably way better food. DO NOT go here and have your day ruined like mine.
