Family bought a couple of meals. The chicken came with two sides. I had it with the moros and maduros. The food was decent. It was ready quick, and it's a plentiful and efficient meal if you are looking for something casual to feast on. I'm interested to see what else this place offers. read more

This latin restaurant has a vast variety of foods in its menu. There is a lot to choose and try from red meat, to poultry, to fish and pork. Also very special recipes and soups that are so delicious. The service is great and servers have a lot of knowledge about the menu. There's indoor and outdoor areas. Also a to-go/waiting/pickup area outside. A lot of parking as well. read more

Stopped by Rinconcito Latino around 3 PM on a Thursday and had another great experience. I ordered the pan con bistec, my son had the vaca frita with white rice and tostones, and my mom got the boliche with white rice and plantains. Everything was delicious, but the vaca frita was honestly the star of the table -- it's my favorite dish here, and the portion was huge. Easily 2-3 people could share it. The only downside was the complimentary bread. They used to bring out amazing Cuban bread, and now it's just basic dinner rolls. I really hope they switch back because it made a difference. Aside from that, everything else was perfect. The location is super convenient, close to West Miami, and even though the shopping plaza gets busy, I usually find parking without a problem. Service was good and the food came out fast -- something I've always appreciated about this place. I used to eat here weekly when I lived down the street, and I'm happy to see they've kept the same great quality after all these years. Highly recommend! read more

I was in the need for a Cuban coffee so I ordered a colada. I got my mom two croquetas and I ordered an orange juice. They do have a $5 minimum when you order with card. The associate in the window was super sweet and took care of me. I came back to get colada for the Vet staff that took care of my dog. read more

El Rinconcito Latino has been a lunch staple for me for years, can't believe it's taken me this long to write a review. It's in a tight shopping center, so parking can be limited, especially during the lunch rush. Inside is always clean, there's some TVs around, and the waitresses are very friendly. The food has always been consistently good, even throughout all these years. You can always pass by la ventanita for a quick grab. read more

Came here for lunch today and I'm stuffed! The restaurant is located in a busy shopping center but we had no problems finding parking (which we all know is sometimes half the battle here in Miami). They give you complementary bread and butter to start your meal which is always nice. We also ordered some mariquitas to munch on while we looked over the menu. They were perfect! Not oily at all and the garlic dipping sauce was really delicious. We also ordered the avocado salad which always hits the spot for me. For my entree I went with fricasse de pollo which was one of the specials they had for Monday. I'm a sucker for this dish so if it's on the menu I'm usually gonna order it. First off the portion size was huge! The sauce was so flavorful and not heavy. I got it with white rice and yuca hervida. Both sides were equally as addicting and I had to stop myself from eating more or else I was going to burst! To finish the meal I got a colada to go that was so sweet and gave me enough of a caffeine boost to power through my food coma. Our server was also super attentive and kept checking up on us to make sure we were good and refilled out waters a few times throughout the meal. This is a Miami staple for a reason. If you're in the area and want an inexpensive meal that will give you enough leftovers for at least one to two more meals this is definitely the spot. read more

Prepare to test your Spanish speaking skills! I was a little intimidated by that when we first walked in. However, they were accommodating and found a server who spoke both English and Spanish to attend to us while we dined in. My boyfriend was raving about how much he wanted to come back to this restaurant since the last time he was in Miami. Unfortunately, the item he wanted was available that day because it was a special item served on Sundays only and we came in on a Thursday. I ordered the Batido de Mango (Mango Shake) and Sandwich Cubano Regular. The mango shake was really good and refreshing since it was so hot that day! It was more like a smoothie to me rather than a shake. The Cubano sandwich was good, and filling! I didn't eat it all and had to save it for later that evening. read more

El Rinconcito Latino - The bandeja paisa. Rice, black beans, chorizo, maduros, steak and pork - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

In the area taking care of some errands when we needed to get a bite to eat. I've been eating at this spot for a while and it's was a good place to eat. I ordered the vaca sub and my wife ordered the pan con lechón. The service was good. The bread rolls were hard and the taste was bland. The pan con lechón was average but the vaca sub didn't have much taste. It was not that smart as I recall it. Too bad because they used to make some good food here. Not trying to be mean but it's probably the last time I'll be eating here. read more

A note to management: you are going to lose your business if the city of Miami doesn't repair that sewage problem right outside this restaurant; the appalling smell right at the entrance is just unbearable!! Totally makes me lose my appetite! The food quality was below average: ordered tamales, which were tasteless and cold! My kids did not go past their second bite of their chicken tenders. Overall disappointing experience. read more

I give few 5 star reviews but this place has earned it, so long as you keep in mind this is a local restaurant catering to not just the Cuban palate, but also it's cultural norms. It's inexpensive, fast, and serves some of the best Cuban food in Miami. (You'd think there were a lot of good Cuban restaurants in Miami, but among the mostly mediocre this place is a standout.) I came here last Saturday for a late breakfast and found sometime since the last time I was here they'd renovated, giving the place an updated modern feel, still casual but almost trendy. We had the ham croquetas, which were flavorful with a crispy light crust and served hot, fresh out of the fryer. I ordered the Perico Ripiado, which is scrambled eggs mixed with ham, onions, peppers, and tomatoes. All the ingredients were fresh and the eggs were cooked perfectly, not dry but also not runny. The accompanying fries were the perfect size and crisp but not overdone. I drink American coffee and they make a surprisingly good cup. The Cuban bread used in the toast was a little dry for me but that was just the luck of the draw as my wife's was perfect. She ordered the vegetarian omelet, with tomatoes, onions, green peppers and mushrooms, which she said was also perfectly cooked and it was obvious the ingredients were fresh. The service was fast, professional, and efficient. This is still my #1 go to place when I want good Cuban food with no fuss. read more

Food: the salad was freshly cut. The French fries were fried perfectly; crispy enough that as you chew it could be heard a mile away. Ambience: Friendly and warm; I felt like I was eating at my grandmas. Love it ! read more

The Rabo Encendido was amazing! Great friendly service. Will be interested in trying the other locations to compare good continuity.

Came for lunch with my daughter. We ordered sandwiches I had the Rinconcito especial which didn't look or taste especial. I was expecting this sandwich full of pork, turkey, ham, and bacon, and what I got was ONE extra thin slice of everything like if the ran out of the deli meat. And gave me the scrap and I don't mean scraps. My daughter had a vaca frita sándwich which she said it was good. The service was good and ambiance was fine. I did see the Rabo encendido special and it looked amazing, and I heard from the person eating it that it was delicious. Maybe when I'm back in the area I'll have that. In General I may give this place a try again and hopefully I get a better meal. read more

Consistency in food preparation, freshness and flavors is always what restaurants strive for, achieving this is the tough part. This is one of the most consistent Cuban restaurants in South Florida. My family and I eat in or order out at least twice a month. The food is very fresh, it has to be since this place has great deal of flow. If you are in the mood for good Cuban food, this is a must try. Warning the portions are huge and the prices, very reasonable. read more

Don't know what has happened to this restaurant. They used to be on point but now it is lacking. The restaurant is almost always half empty and the staff is new. The food taste is not the same and they skimp on quantity. This time I ordered for a gathering at my house and they got the order wrong. I ordered portions placed in aluminum trays and when delivered they were on paper containers with the rice and the yucca together and everything a mess. An order of rice is no longer a large order but a cup of rice. I ordered the mojo in a separate container and they put it on the yucca and also on the fried pork chunks and the chicharron de pollo appetizers so it was all wet and soggy. I called to rectify and they would not budge and did not bring me the mojo claiming it was already on the food itself. Here the customer is never right. Will not use this restaurant again. read more

The service is terrible inside! Stay away Go to the one on 102st bird road 100% better!

Consistently delicious is the best way to describe this place. Have been eating from here for over a decade and have yet to be disappointed. Portions can be very big. For example when I order arroz con pollo I can usually feed four people with it. The service inside is quick and friendly and the takeout/delivery is usually quicker than any other restaurant I've eaten from in my neighborhood. Highly recommend for a casual, no fuss, delicious meal read more

We stayed in the neighborhood near to this place and got take-out from here several times. Overall, I'd say it's pretty good. We really enjoyed breakfast here. The cafe con leche was excellent, as well as the croquettes. I really liked my steak and eggs, and the eggs were cooked just as I ordered them (over medium). My wife liked her pancakes as well. We enjoyed dinner a little bit less. We got two Cuban sandwiches and arroz con pollo. The portions were ample, but the taste and texture were not as good. The bread was good on the Cubans, and they came with plenty of tiny French fries, but the ham was kind of rubbery. The arroz con pollo was a ton of food for the price but not very flavorful. read more

I previously gave them 4 stars but after my recent order I have to give them 5 stars. They have several locations and I accidentally ordered online at wrong location and the manager was still able to accommodate the order for me. Everything was well prepared and fresh and delicious.

Subpar. Not a place you want to go for authentic Cuban. They cut corners everywhere. My croqueta preparada was ham and croquetas, no mayo, mustard, pickles, pork. The prices are way too high for the quality. They have a "vaca frita sub" and it has American cheese blah. It was disappointing. Many other places to go for Cuban food. read more

Good food. Boring interior. God awful service. My waitress actually disappeared and I saw her with her purse. She stood with her back to me as she served herself a drink ignored my calls and my waves and disappeared out a door. I sat there wanting my check and after a long 7 minutes I called out to a young woman who referred me to yet another woman who pretty much didn't want to hear my complaint. No excuses nothing. She stood there waiting for her too. That irritated me and is the main reason for one star. Things went south after Covid19 and this restaurant has allowed poor customer service to dominate it. I've been going there many years. Guess what? Im never returning. Im no chicken liver I'm an adult female who must be treated as well if not better than drunken old regulars at the counter. Testosterone rules in that area. Waitress are treated by men as call girls so much lack of respect. And it trickles down to me, a customer who spent $26 at lunch for beef stew "special" soda and cafe. God awful experience. read more
