    Empanadilla de Carne
    Eduardo B.

    Authentic cuisine and ambience is what El Rincón Criollo is all about. They are located in Cayey, about 10 minutes off the PR-52 Toll Highway. It's one of those hole in the walls that just make one proud of traditional dishes in Puerto Rico. Being one of the first restaurants we visited, we were worried about what our overall experience would be, this place more then delivered. Food cooked to perfection, seasoning and flavors that reminded all of us of our uprising, OMG! We ordered a bit of everything on the menu and they came out as ready, nothing was pre-made, all cooked to order. If you are wanting to see it up a notch, as them for their homemade hot sauce, a mix of seasonings and liquid flavors, went well with all our orders. We loved the Chicarron de Pollo, Mofongo with Churrasco with Chimichurri Sauce, Alcapurrias, Tostones, Sorullitos, the variety of Empanadas and their large selection of fresh juices. We also had to order a Pina Colada and a Malta India, the official Malta of Puerto Rico. To wrap up, this is the spot, if you want the food of the island at a price that will blow your mind, check out El Rincón Criollo!

    We're currently dining here, and from the moment my partner and I walked in, the experience has…read morebeen mixed. One of the hostesses was noticeably rude at the start, which set an uncomfortable tone. After being seated, our waiter hasn't been outright unkind, but there's a clear difference in how we're being treated compared to other guests. As a same-sex couple, it feels like we're not being received as warmly, even though he seems to be making an effort to remain professional. As a Puerto Rican, that's honestly a bit disappointing and feels out of place. That said, the food itself has been very good.

    A gem. Sat outside & had a great night. Food, vibes, & service were all wonderful. Started out with…read morea complimentary soup & cod fritters (yummmy! & I don't even like fish, usually). The hot sauce on the table was nice, not too hot but a good kick, I usually do not like habanero based hot sauces but this was good! The Queso Frito was interesting in flavors & textures, delicious. El Conflicto was perfect, all the flavor of a pina colada but without the heaviness of syrups & sugar. The Pollo Borracho was super flavorful & filling, chicken cooked to perfection falling off the bone. My fiancé had the Carne Frita, it was super tender & a well balanced dish. Service was friendly & attentive. My only complaint- we were so full we couldn't even look at the dessert menu! Guess we will just have to go back.
