We passed this unassuming restaurant many times. It wasn't until last week that a friend of ours said you have to try it! The ladies are very warm and friendly and explained the daily specials to us. Dave got the ox tail stew that was served with plantains and rice and beans. I got the chicken cutlet with tomato., ham and cheese, rice and beans and a Tamale. I couldn't believe my eyes-the portion was enormous and covered with delicious melted Swiss cheese. I brought half of it home! Dave's was served in a little covered pot and there were large pieces of meat and bone! He had Cuban coffee and I had an American. The server was so sweet and asked us if we wanted more to go! No dinner for us tonight lol! We shall return for breakfast soon! read more

I was recommended to go here. It's a nice little queue restaurant served authentic food, reasonable pricing. Clean atmosphere inside with Cuban music in the background. Service was attentive and food came out quickly. I would recommend to stop by and give it a try. I got the Vaca Frita with black bean and rice , and plantines. $15.95 read more

We absolutely love Rincon! I've been coming here for over 20 years, when we moved here from Key West when I was a child, it brought back a lot of memories of home and the amazing Cuban food. Now my husband, son and I love eating here and also ordering delivery. They always package everything nicely and everything stays nice and hot during delivery. Some of our favorites are their Cuban sandwiches, Ropa Vieja, Picadillo, Arroz Con Pollo, Lechon Asado...they have, hands down, the best Cuban yellow rice in town as well as their black beans! The plantains are always cooked nicely and our son loves their crispy French fries, haha. We did catering for Christmas last year and honestly that may be the new tradition because it was absolutely perfect! read more

I called in after paying for my order - 4cubans and four sodas I got a tamal and beef empanadas which I thought were both better than the sandwich- the lady who picked up the phone saying they never received my order ? was avoiding me - when I walked inside - that's completely fine - but when I seen my order on the counter- it was handed over and I left - thanks again read more

I ordered from your restaurant yesterday for the first time, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. The first thing I noticed when my order arrived was that there were no utensils included, which made it very difficult to enjoy the meal. On top of that, one of the items I ordered was completely missing. I understand that restaurants can be very busy, but attention to detail is critical. With so many Cuban/Latin restaurants in this area, customers have plenty of options. This is why it's so important that every order--whether in person, over the phone, or online--is handled with 100% accuracy. Otherwise, it becomes difficult for customers to return. read more

We've been coming to Rincon for 15+ years - it hasn't changed much in that time. You can slap new paint on a hole in the wall, and it's still a hole in the wall.... This is one of our favorite hole in the wall spots. A solid 5.1/5 on my scale. Is it fancy? NO! Is service fantastic? No, but it's by no means bad. Can be slow sometimes... but the staff cares! Is the food great? Yes, and it's priced right! Sure it has increased over the years, everything has... but it's still a real solid meal at an excellent price. I take family and friends here! And you should too! :) read more

First time here, a Cuban that we know recommended this place. We will be back, I had a Cafe Con Leche which was very good, we split a Cuban & ham croquette sandwich & a beef empanada, both very good. Waitress spoke hardly any English so a little hard to understand what we wanted as my husband didn't get the coffee he wanted. read more

Rincon Cubano - Cuban Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

We eat Cuban at least once a week all over Lee county and have Cuban coffee 5-6 days a week. Unfortunately, we have noticed a decline in the quality of several items, every where in the past couple of years. We decided to take a ride to El Recon and try it out. We had the palomilla steak fries, yuca frita, congri and a tamale. Everything was great and better than we can find on the mainland. We cannot find decent steak and pork steak. The steak is small and the pork steak is paper thin and NOT a real pork steak. Two years ago we got much better, they're buying junk from the wholesale people. This was a pleasant place, great food and we will return. read more

Used to be great. Was there last night and my bill was heavily inflated. When questioned they claimed that was the right price and the receipt machine wasn't working .. okay. Pollo tropical for now on. Breaks my heart, but you can't rob me because I'm American. Bye Ricon read more

They have a nice breakfast special with coffee Cuban toast eggs sausages chorizo excellent Cafe Con leche and friendly

Don't waste the money on this place. The food is at max a 5/10. The only thing I truly enjoyed with no problem or issue was the croquettes, empanadas & smoothies. I don't know where the heck they think their pricing comes from, when this food was worth maximum 75$ but I got charged $110.84 and that's not even the worse part, they had a service fee of 18% after any check above 15$. See, I thought it was an optional to tip at any restaurant based on the service. Server deserved it anyways, but the fact that I didn't have that option to choose made me feel robbed. No signs on the menu so really how are you supposed to know? honestly everything is just way to overpriced. First time goer, last time buying... but the service was friendly. read more

I love this place! I always order through DoorDash, and whenever I can, I visit the physical location. They have amazing specials, and the lamb with congrí is my favorite. Plus, they are very fast with orders and packaging. Highly recommended! read more

Some of the best couple sandwiches I've had in a while. The Cuban was perfect the bread was great. The steak sandwich is incredible as well.

Delicious, affordable food, quick, but mediocre service. Excellent prices, decent ambience. I have eaten here a dozen or more times and only had a bad experience once. Of course, with my Latin mother! :/ Anybody from our team that visits from out of town is granted a visit here, new hires are treated with lunch here as well. Love this place! read more

Went on a Sunday with my wife it was packed. Excited to eat great food we waited for 30 mins without being acknowledged by one employee. When I mentioned to a still did nothing. They were rude and even let my wife clean the table that had been empty for 20 mins and was still not helped or served food for another hour. I don't care how good or bad the food is service like this is never acceptable...not even in Cuba do you wait 1 hr to be asked if your would like a cafesito...muy malo servecio. read more

Rincon Cubano - Palomilla al Caballo Steak & eggs w/ white rice - Cuban Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

I am giving Rincon two stars and I shall show you my justification. I order their oxtail stew some tamales and a steak sandwich. We'll start off with the best the oxtail stew. The ox tail stew had three big pieces of oxtail a lot of rice and some gravy. The problem was half of the gravy spilled all over due to improperly packaging into the plastic bag which caused a big mess.... But things happen! They cannot follow instructions as far as my sandwich. The first thing I asked was no potato sticks. As you look in the my photograph you can see obviously that they did not listen or did not read and put too many of those nasty little potato sticks on my sandwich. Also it was cooked well done I requested medium rare to medium. The steak being thin I understand this is quite hard to do for a inexperience cook or chef, but cooking it well done like a piece of shoe leather is only for Republicans and idiots in general.... And of course trying to eat it was like trying to chew on a piece of a leather sole. I also ordered a side salad it only cost approximately $1.75. But when I picked it out of the bag I got soaking wet of water dripping out of the salad . which was shredded lettuce and four very thin slices of tomatoes. including the end of the stem of the tomatoes .. I also kind of expected some type of salad dressing but there was none included anywhere in the bag... The lettuce once I had a drained it was still very soggy. You would think being in United States people would understand what is the traditional way of serving a basic salad. Here obviously they do not have a clue. The last issue that I will bring up is which they probably had no control. Maybe due to the restaurant was busy...It took a long time for them to do my order because my Uber driver arrived there and had to wait at least 20 minutes. Uber driver was very quick though he too did not pay attention to instructions. The instructions are very simple you're allowed to Park in my driveway and to please beep the horn so I know that you are arriving..I am mobile challenge. ( I walk slowly. ) read more

Rincon Cubano - Tamales - Cuban Near Me - Cape Coral, Florida

There's only one place I trust for authentic Cuban food in the Cape and it's Rincon. Introduced to me by my in-laws, who are originally from Miami like myself, we've been frequenting this place for several years now. From sandwiches to pastries to entrees and desserts. This place is everything you want from a Cuban restaurant. And honestly, you cannot beat the $8.95 daily specials. Yes, rotating specials every 7 days of the week for only $8.95. Some of our favorites are the Lechon Asado, Pan con Bistec and Rabo Encendido (please try this before you go on in life). Shoot, the Arroz Moro, or Moro Rice, alone deserves some time in the limelight. Get this as a side always. If you're looking for authentic, flavorful Cuban food for the best price you can find in Cape Coral, give Rincon Cubano a shot. read more

In town from NJ for a baseball tournament, this is EXACTLY what you need to be eating for dinner when you're in the area. The churrasco was delicious and very tender, the rice and beans were full of flavor and the yuca with garlic was amazing! Already came back for the second time in the week that I'm here! Ordered so much food and a bunch of food to take with me for later and still didn't spend what you spend at some of these other restaurants. This is truly good Cuban food! read more

We were looking for a Cuban cafeteria for a Cuban steak sandwich or pan con lechón, we opted for pan con lechón and I have to say it was by far the worst ever they served it with mayo,lettuce and tomato, which defeats the purpose it was tasteless and the meat was hard, service was ok but for a $23 check gratuities are added at 18% I have to say the place was very clean but the food was disappointing, I even googled pan con lechón to make sure that's what is supposed to be pan con lechón nothing added is needed. read more

We came here for my birthday and to have Rabo. The Rabo was fabulous, tender, meaty but with enough bone to really enjoy the "process." I was surprised at how flavorful the red beans were, yummy with red bell pepper and some secret herbs and spices. Very clean and airy indoor space, booths were comfortable and not worn out. The service was pleasant and helpful. Can't wait for another excuse to indulge, or maybe I'll just come back for the rice and beans! read more

This restaurant is a hit or miss. I've eaten here several times and when they are on point their food is awesome but when I ate their Saturday special of rabo ensendio (my favorite) the only thing that was ensendio was my stomach; it wasn't that good. I guess the biggest thing they got going for them are the beautiful Cuban waitresses; they are very nice and accommodating but I'm there to eat good Cuban food. All in all I would recommend eating here because like I said when they are on point their food is excellent. read more

Food is great. Service is not. I ordered some food an hour and a half before the pick up time and it was not ready. Once I got there I had to wait an extra 30 minutes for my food. I was in a rush so you can imagine I was not happy. I ordered ahead for a reason, if it wasn't because I had already paid I would've just cancelled the order. read more

This place is 5 minutes from where I'm staying currently, and it's in a sea of Cuban restaurants. Florida has an abundance of 2 things Salt Life bumper stickers and Cuban restaurants/bakeries. This one has earned the 4 Star from me after much more work than others. This one is a 4 after going several times and trying several items on the menu. I had the palomilla steak with rice beans, maduros and salad. Wow, this hit the spot. It was all really really delicious and hot and seasoned, good portions. Service is where they could do better. They mean well but just aren't into it. They forget about you, and easily forget things you ask for haha. Anyway, I still enjoy eating here. For $8-10 dollars you will walk out full! read more
