The food, we had the fried chicken with beans and rice, plantains, salad. As always everything was delicious. Service was great. The ambiance was amazing, it reminded me of Havana when we were there. read more

We came across this spot while in town--& we absolutely loved the atmosphere, the bar area outside is very cool. We actually did not go inside at all, so I cannot speak on how the inside look. This place is authentic. They even have a waitress that did not speak English (she experiences a rude customer, which I witnessed, and took her negativity out on other customers which is my reason for only 4 stars). The original waitress we had was AMAZING. The food was good, except they gave my son a spoiled burger which I didn't realize bc I didn't taste it until it was almost time to leave. My husband and I received our food before our children, which also disappointed us. The Latin dishes were delicious. read more

Decent Cuban food, close to the airport. The funniest thing: I'm pretty sure you could finish your meal, call for an Uber, and, using the location map, discover that he's sitting across the room from you. "You done? Let's go." read more

Great time. Came for dinner, Recommended by Emilio from the Element hotel. Food was amazing, people, cool as f*ck. I recommend heavily. read more

This restaurant was close to the hotel we were staying at, so we gave it a chance. We went on a Sunday evening around 3pm and was told we couldn't order from over half menu because they close at 4pm on Sunday. So we had to rethink our order. It a small neighborhood place which has the potential to be a nice spot to hang out. The service, let say if you go avoid the tall dark haired cuban waitress, she is horrible! Poor people skills and a lack of attention to customer needs. As for another server, hopefully so you the shorter on that is very friendly and attentive. She waited on us towards the end of our meal. Now for the meal. I had the lechon asado which they give you a huge portion, that they need to shred the port some more, the dish had huge chunks of pork that came across as dry, the beef empanadas were really good, the plantains and tostones were average, the sangria was nice, the tres leches cake was way to sweet and had the texture of bread pudding. If I'm ever in the area again, I won't go on a Sunday and will get empanadas and a beer and call it a day. read more

Came here since it was the nearest place to eat from our hotel. Definitely not the most organized place to eat. Their outdoor menu on the wall is completely different than the menu you get inside. Their staff was not friendly at all, nor were we greeted. Their staff also did not speak English so it was confusing to order. It is obviously a place for locals and employees of the Miami Airport. If they want to improve, I suggest streamlining their confusing menu. Overall, the food was awesome. I just wish our experience matched it. Food 9/10 Service 5/10 Ambiance 4/10 read more

Our hotel offered shuttle service to Rincon Criollo, so we decided to try it while on an overnight layover in Miami. The shuttle wasn't even necessary as we decided to walk back instead of waiting for the shuttle. It was an easy, 10 minute walk with sidewalks to a handful of hotels near the airport. No trip to Miami is complete without some Cuban food, preferably a sandwich. The whole experience felt authentic. We sat outside on a breezy evening at a picnic table. I had a coconut water that was delivered ice cold and my dining companion had a Modelo. He had a steak with rice and beans and plantains, while I had a sandwich. We both enjoyed our meals and the prices were reasonable. We spent under $50 for two meals with drinks. The Cuban sandwich was basic, no frills. Served so fresh from the press it was too hot to eat. Service was quick and efficient. I don't know if I would go out of my way for this restaurant, but would happily return for a quick fix of Cuban food near the airport. read more

This was a great spot and near the airport too. The pricing, portions and quality are excellent. I had a sandwich here and it was very tasty. The service was friendly. If I lived in Miami, I'd come here often! I'd recommend this to tourists visiting as it feels "authentic" as a culinary experience. read more

I absolutely loved the outdoor seating! As soon as you sit down, you're welcomed. We had pork tacos (delicious) and hubbs had 2 chicken empañadas. He loved them so much that he ordered 2 more! I also ordered a small pitcher of sangria and it was perfect! Fruity and not overly sweet. Plan on going back for morning coffee! read more

The ONLY thing I don't like about this resturant is that they don't have prices on the menu. That is it. And even with that the prices are pretty cheap. Otherwise, this place was a delight. We were in the area renting a car and passed by the smells and it hit us right away. Everything was delicious - from the steak and eggs to the Cubano sandwich. The absolutely perfect ham croquettes, the empanadas, and the cafe con leche. 10/10. The staff was super nice and friendly, they also sell cigars! You can't go wrong here, the food is solid. read more

Great meals and fast service. Breakfast was more than enough. Loved the familiar ambiance also.

Don't listen to the haters, this spot is amazing!! 1) They certainly do speak English 2) They serve the whole menu all day, we flew in on a red eye from LA and didn't want breakfast. No issues getting whatever we wanted. I had the masas de puerco with rice, beans, and tostones .. my wife had the pork lechon with rice, beans, and plantain chips ... our daughter had the ham n cheese sandwich with sausages on the side. 3) The food was made quickly and was damn good 4) The fresh squeezed juices were so good, I had passion fruit and the wife had mango 5) Everything was DIRT CHEAP! Everything above plus a strawberry shake was $46 ... they did add a 15% service charge but that was only $6, no big deal given how inexpensive this place is. Don't sleep on it, don't listen to the grouches. Go happy and you'll leave happy. read more

Delicious Oasis of Latino food. Kind of in the middle of nowhere near the airport. Seating outside on the counter and inside in the dining room. Fantastic! Reliable Latino food welcome service. Very easy parking. Highly recommended. read more

This place is small, but packs a punch with flavor! I ordered the Cuban coffee and a Cuban sandwich. From the perfect kick from the coffee to pick up my afternoon slump to the deliciously prepared sandwich, I left very happy. I want to come back for other dishes! The arroz con pollo and the tostones look amazing. So I think I must return. The prices are perfect and the options to sit either outside or inside is great for everyone. read more

When certain people are working, the service is good. But however, this morning I decided to stop in for coffee and breakfast. Servers completely ignored me and the other people that came to sit down. Didn't care at all, it's sad to see a good business with terrible customer service skills. Will be going to CAO bakery or anywhere else that's near by. Won't waste any time or hoping things will change. The girls don't want the business to get any better. So customer service will continue to suck. read more

Was excited to try this family owned restaurant but it quickly turned into my first and LAST time visiting. Starting from the beginning, the middle aged waitress was rude and rushed me as I ordered. She kept slapping the menu pointing to the sides so I could choose. I ordered the steak, white rice, and plantains. The steak was as slimy as Elmer's glue and colder than my deep freezer. The rice was dryer than the Sahara desert but the plantains were decent. The restaurant was completely empty so I should have known.. would not recommend! read more

We had supper and brunch...the place is clean, cute, and full of local workers. The people are very kind and helpful to navigate the menu. The food is simple and great with all the Cuban and Caribbean dishes. Plus it is a great way to practice your Spanish, everyone will encourage you and be happy to speak to you in Spanish!!!!! read more

We were staying at a nearby hotel before a cruise and wanted to grab some Cuban food for breakfast. This place hit the spot! Servers were very kind and the food was good. My coffee was perfect and the prices are very reasonable. It helps if you speak a little Spanish but you can get by without. read more

We were passing through Miami International and had a layover. Walked to this place for dinner. Excellent food and service. The servers only spoke Spanish and we aren't fluent but we made it work. read more

Street food at the airport. Great fried flour empanadas. Plantains were excellent. Sandwiches were classic stylistically, and large. I had the chorizo and it was on point. I can see the criticism of variations on the service, hot and cold, alternating attention. Think of it like a busy food cart with excellent food. read more

This is a family owned restaurant in the middle of an industrial area near Miami Airport. We stayed at a nearby hotel for one night due to early morning flight. Decided to give this place a try. Took an UBER to and from this place. It is very basic furniture and not much ambiance. But the food was authentic Cuban and absolutely delicious. The service was also outstanding. Our server spoke English and took the time to answer all our questions regarding food choices. We ordered the shrimp dish that was delicious. We also ordered two types of flan for dessert. Both were super tasty. read more

I went to Miami with my boyfriend and his family (4 people) as we are departing from a cruise there the next day. We loved the atmosphere, it was small but homey and they also had outside seating too. The waitress we had was very nice and she made a drink for us that wasn't on the menu. She was very informative and seemed all of our questions about their menu and about Miami as tourists with patience and kindness. The food was very good and the prices were very fair. We paid $108 when we got 3 meals, 3 drinks, a milkshake, and a dessert. Each big meal also comes with three free sides, plus the tip was already included. We said that if we stayed here longer we'd definitely come back. It's a hidden gem! read more

I normally don't post when I am disappointed with service or place of business, but I feel the need to warn other people. Cafe con leche was not good. BEWARE menu has a price and they charge you more. Server wrote something differently than what I had ordered and I was also told that the Cafe con leche that I asked for was large when I asked for whatever was included in the meal. No attempt with me to correct it and when I asked if I could speak to the owner they told me she was not there. read more

The worst experience. They don't provide decent food and prices are above the listed price. The service price is automatically added creating a very poor service. read more

I really liked this place, it's outdoor, it's super cheap. I'm from Cali and their prices are like heavenly cheap. we had the sandwich de pollo for $5.95, huge sandwich, and chuleta san jacobo with plantano and salad for $12.50, again crazy cheap. we were pretty happy with the door until I cut into the pork and found uncooked meat, very very disappointed. we totally do not want food poisoning on a trip 3000 miles away. will I visit again? possible if I'm in the same neighborhood again. read more

As a field traveler I rely on YELP to help me locate good places to eat when I am on the road. I like Cuban food so I decided to try Rincon. The place was run down but I gave it a shot. What a disappointment! The food and service was terrible. The waitress had a major attitude and said nothing when I did not eat my food. When I asked for am itemized bill, I got more attitude. When the itemized bill came, I noticed that they added a 10% gratuity. Bad service and terrible food read more

Great place, had perico breakfast with colada and cortado! They offer natural juices which are amazing.

We visited for afternoon drinks and a snack. The service was friendly and helpful. The prices were reasonable beer $5, sangria carafe medium $7.50, white wine $5 and loaded fries $5. The cafe was busy with airport drivers and tourists and the food was fresh and hot. We will definitely return and recommend this cafe to one and all. read more

This place is definitely worth a visit, especially if you're near the airport! We ordered through grub hub and got our order hot and fresh. I got the fried pork chunks and it was fantastic! The pork was so tender and juicy. Full of flavor. The rice beans and plantains were great too. I also ordered ceviche and they didn't give me chips for it which was annoying. We also ordered papa rellanos and they were bomb!! Soooo good wish we would've ordered more. The Cuban was good and so was this meat n cheese croissant. The food is priced low so it'll make you want to get a little of everything lol. Enjoy! read more

Tengo q decir q la comida no es mala pero las porciones son chicas y la presentacion no es linda. El plato de picadera es todo medio quemado, diferentes temperaturas y muy mal presentado y caro. Por ej, aunque tenía bastante pollo los egg roll estaban explotados, los cubitos de queso pegados unos a otros, un cuero de cerdo y arriba aceitunas.. Aparentemente te fríen lo que tengan en la nevera sin ninguna consistencia pq la empleada no sabía lo que incluiría. No lo recomiendo! Pedimos unos tostones que estaba muy duros y para fallarle a los tostones... El sándwich cubano no tenia pernil pero estaba comible. Capaz que era viernes a las 5 y estaban por cerrar aunque después vimos q cierran a las 10pm, pero parecía que carecían de todo. Las mesas muy sucias, pegajosas! Una experiencia muy triste Necesita mucho cariño este restaurante y que los empleados tengan más ánimo y conozcan lo que venden pq la chica no sabía nada. read more

The place needs to be inspected by the health department WHY ??? While you are outside eating there is FLIES ALL OVER THE EATING AREA plus THERE ARE BIRDS also next to you searching for your food that's UNHEALTHY !!! Also they have a menu with NO PRICES AT ALL !! So you have no idea how much they will charge you unless you ask for prices prior to order !!! The food is good but the FILES AROUND (too many ) makes you think about how clean that place could be !!! SORRY I WILL COMPLAINT with THE HEALTH DEPT. and the BBB ( better business bureau ) in reference to the menu . Thank you read more

This restaurant is really good. I think it gets slept on because of its location. It's right by the Miami airport so it's hard to get to. They also don't have many people here that speak English but if you get past those two things it's really good. I worked in Miami for a month and it was my breakfast spot every morning. It was just that good. The other good thing is that if you're into cigars they have a really good selection. It's kind of an underrated feature of this restaurant. I love it because I can get 5-7 South American cigars for less than $25. That's a steal for anyone who regularly smokes cigars. read more

This place is super authentic. I really loved the vibe. The server told me she didn't speak English well and I told her I didn't speak Spanish well. We laughed and made it work. My bf and I split the cheeseburger and the Cuban sandwich with yucca and gravy. The yucca had a really nice garlic gravy. The cheeseburger was one of the best I've ever had and the Cuban was pretty good too. All that down with a nice Modello Negro and we were some happy people. Thanks for the patience. Much appreciated. read more

When I am by the Miami International Airport, I love to stop by here. This place is always popular with locals. They have inside but usually people just sit by the counter and enjoy food and cafesito! My favorite here is pan con lechon!! The price is reasonable and so flavorful. I think it's the best in town! When you have some time to kill at the airport, try! Have some Cuban coffee and sandwich! read more

Wait a minute...is this menu seriously offering 2003 prices on Cuban breakfast? Ok...dale It's a rincón, alright! Hidden on the eastern end of the airport, this casual Cuban spot has that nostalgic feel with its counter service and open infrastructure. The prices are honestly unbeatable so those seeking a bargain on traditional Cuban cuisine can definitely find this spot to be the epitome of BBB-Bueno, Bonito y Barato! Ask for extra butter on the Cuban toast for that extra oomph. There's not many spots that you can score breakfast for under $5.00 so it's certainly a relic of the vintage Miami ventanita ordeal. The club sandwich is the perfect portion for a quick and easy lunch that's both filling and savory with its healing portions of meat nestled between crunchy toasted bread with the cooking touch of the lettuce and tomato that seals the deal. It's off the beaten path but worth a visit for cheap Cuban food with the total Miami experience. read more
