It's a cute, small Spanish restaurant. I randomly stopped by one night very late to grab some food. I arrived about 30 minutes before closing, but they still let me sit and place an order, which I appreciated. The restaurant has a small outdoor area on a little veranda, and the indoor area that isn't very big either. The design of the place is simple but pretty. The menu offers a nice variety - from small tapas to large main dishes like paella. I decided to try two hot tapas: ham croquettes and octopus with boiled potatoes. The croquettes were good, but not super delicious. The octopus dish, however, tasted fantastic; I really enjoyed it! Price-wise, the place does seem a bit pricey. For 4 small pieces of Serrano ham croquettes I paid $13, and the octopus was $20. Tapas usually don't cost that much, even at many other restaurants around Miami that I've been to. And considering that the croquettes were just okay in quality, I definitely think they should lower the prices a bit. Another annoying thing about this place - the 18% tip is automatically included in the bill. I truly hate when restaurants in Miami do that! And honestly, in this case, I wouldn't have tipped my waitress that high. She wasn't particularly friendly or welcoming. She gave me literally 2 minutes to choose my food (yes, I know I came late, but still...), took my order, brought it, and only came back once she noticed I had finished, just to ask if I was ready for the check. She didn't even ask how the food was. In my opinion, this wasn't 18% tip-worthy service. To sum up: I'm glad I tried this place. I might come back one day to try something else from the menu. I can recommend this restaurant, but be prepared - your final bill won't be cheap. read more

We felt like we were dining in a friend's living room and it was amazing. We had a reunion with friends we met in Spain and were seeking out a tapas spot to bring back the memories. The restaurant is tiny, with one big table and only two or three small tables. I therefore recommend getting reservations in advance if you plan on dining here. The food is a mix of Spanish and Argentinian tapas, and the owner is from Argentina. The menu was very similar to what you would find in Spain though. We ordered one of almost everything and enjoyed every bite. The jamon, manchego, and bread was amazing. As was the pulpo (octopus), calamari, shrimp, tortilla, jamón croquetas, patatas bravas, and salad. We were celebrating our friend's birthday, so when I mentioned it to the owner, he was awesome and brought her out a flan with a candle - so kind. The prices were reasonable and we had a great time talking to the owner for awhile. The restaurant is located just minutes away from the Wynwood neighborhood, which we still took a few-minute Uber to afterwards, as the neighborhood seemed a little sus at night. I'd definitely recommend dinner here! read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - Croquetas de Jamon Serrano - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

This restaurant really lives up to its name, which means "hidden corner tapas", as it is very easy to just walk by without noticing it. We may or may not have done just that. The tapas are pretty much all excellent. I would highlight the fried octopus as a must-have. In contrast, the patatas bravas can be safely skipped. In theory, they offer paella, but due to staffing changes their paella chef was actually working front of house. While he was very kind and hospitable, I do hope he's able to get back to paella-making in the near future. Lastly, if you drive, they do have free parking, which is a nice perk. Rincon Escondido is a small, cozy place perfect for savoring a quiet meal, despite being on an incredibly busy street. Maybe it's just the magic of tapas. read more

This place always remarkable with there food and service. A little spot with big love for there food. Try it!

Super Small dining area. A handful of tables inside and then a few high tops/ tables outside. Very casual and service was a bit slow but to be fair only one person working. Had a red sangria, a glass of Tempranillo and empanada sample. The empanadas didn't have that much meat inside but enjoyed the fact that they were BAKED Empanadas! Would be interested to see what their other tapas are but not making not making a giant effort to go back. They probably get lots of local traffic which is great support as it does have lots Spanish variety to offer the community read more

Again, it's been a while since we've been here. Still so good. We decided to stay with the tapas. The restaurant filled up really quickly and we were glad for that decision. The tables a small, and the timing perfect, one dish almost magically followed the other, fresh from the stove. First came the octopus a la placha, cooked perfectly with a side small salad. Next were the tortilla de patatas with a garlicy mayonaise, followed by the utterly delicious mushrooms in sherry sauce. I want to find this recipe. Finally was the luscious gambas al ajillo. Each course was served with a small, hot baguette to catch every bit of sauce. read more

Cozy atmosphere with friendly service. All of our dishes were made fresh and timed well in order to give us time to enjoy each dish individually. My favorite was the shrimp - the sauce was delicious and I actually ended up dipping the patatas bravas and tortilla de chorizo in the sauce too. It had a tasty garlic flavor with a very subtle kick! read more

A great place if you're into Spanish style food. The service is always good. Garbanzos, tortilla de chorizo, pulpo (grilled octopus), and steak are great options to share with a special someone. The owner and chef are Argentine which is a plus since they really enjoying cooking delicious dishes of food. The ambience takes you back to a cool hole in the wall you'd find in Barcelona, Cartagena or any Latin American restaurant. read more

Found this little place via yelp. Went to check out and was pleased. Great food. Great atmosphere. Service very friendly but lacked in service experience... but what do u expect. Its a little dive and they deliver.... I recommend it..be ready to wait...only 17 tables. Go during off hours. read more

Cozy, intimate and delicious! Feels like you are back in Spain. Great service, within shouting distance of the chefs and everything was delicious. Sangria had great flavor, loved the garlic dipping sauce with croquetas and the paella was moist, flavorful and huge! Make sure you give yourself time as it takes over an hour for them to make fresh. Also pro tip from the kitchen: you will have better chances of convincing the chef to make it fresh if you make an appointment for it ahead! But I got lucky! read more

Finally went here after seeing it super often and I loved it! There is Spanish and Argentine food and I loved both. We had the patatas bravas, gambas al ajilo, goat cheese bombs, and a chicken milanesa. We also had sangria which I didn't love but I really liked everything else. The owner is super friendly and it is definitely a great hidden corner! read more

The food here is literally like something you'd reheat at home when you have leftovers. I came with a friend and it was us and one other table. The same person who takes your order also cooks the food, although it was clearly microwaved other than the fries. Appetizers were meh. We ordered the chicken manchengo dish and the picture attached is what we got. The chicken was covered in a brownish black goop -- the taste was "OK" it looked much worse than it tasted... but not worth the $60 or so our bill came out to in the end. read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - Pollo Manchego - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

I'm sorry but it didn't do it for me mainly because of the service. The server (she) was not having it, I guess, even though there was no other customers. The mushrooms croquetas were good but the empanadas were meh. They were frozen and then baked, but they were not evenly heated through, leaving portions of the empanada kind of cold and the rest hot. All in all, not recommended! read more

Excellent local hole-in-the-wall. If you're looking for fancy, this isn't the place. But if you want a neighborhood joint that sticks to authentic Spanish tapas dishes, this is a very good choice. It's very tiny, so don't show up with a big group, but I appreciate the intimacy and the homemade feeling. A nice alternative to the craziness a few blocks away in Wynwood. read more

The sangria is made with wine that has gone bad, and when I mentioned it to the waitress, she didn't say anything at all. The service is average, so is the food. The tip is included in the bill, however in the note the tip line is empty, as if it had not been added before. Misleading. I wouldn't go back, never. read more

Fresh, tasty food! Highly recommend for those wanting to share delicious meals (tapas- family style)! We shared the Pulpo a la plancha (out of this world) and the empanadas platter! The food is all cooked right when you order it, so it might take a minute, but is worth the wait! Small, intimate space. But there's truly nothing better than a hole in the wall establishment that treats you like family read more

Great food. Great service. Watch out when you get the check. We had a plate of meats and cheeses, some some shrimp, other things. All top notch. Generous wine pour. My dining companion had a fabulous beer, perfectly chilled. When the check arrived, I saw there was an 18 percent tip already added. That's fine. Plenty of places do that. But when the credit card slip came, there was a line for a tip, with no mention that the tip was already included. Conscientious places usually had a line called "additional tip" or something like that, in case patrons missed the original tip listing. Also: a "non-cash charge" was added of $3.74 -- I guess for using a credit card. read more

I believe this is my third review but how can not post anything when me and my boyfriend have the best time in this little spot, aside from being so Welcoming the ambience is just wonderful.

Seafood paella was delicious. The Sangría was tasty. Ambiance is chill and laid back. Damian (the owner, waiter, cook, host, cleaner) was running a one-man show that night and he was GREAT.

I had hitched a ride to Miami w my work bound hubby one day. So dramatic is the after-work traffic, and as tired/h-angry as I was, I insisted we stop somewhere on Biscayne Blvd to wait it out. As I waited for my poor hubby's 45minute 3-mile drive to pick me up, I found Rincon on Yelp. As tiny as the place looked in the pictures, I prayed we'd be able to be seated, I didn't want to make reservations since I had no idea how long the 1-mile drive to therebwould be. Parking was tricky, particularly whenever hubby's precious set of wheels (the death star as we call it) is involved. We ended up parking across the street on a meter so he could keep a hawk eye on it. The owners told us later that they did have free parking in the back. The restaurant is tucked next to a motorcycle shop, a collection of hot bikes are displayed there. On the porch, there are high tables were you could eat outside, but the charm is more appreciated when you sit inside. Charming, warm tiny little place, obviously updated based on some older Yelp and Gggl pics we saw. We were greeted and seated by a very sweet lady, who was also cooking later. Place settings are simple yet elegant, even though I must've looked like I had been bashed and beaten down from an 8 hour workout instructor event, they treated my suited beau and myself like we were long lost family coming to dine for the first time. We were the only ones at first, but the restaurant slowly started filling up and was PACKED by the time we left. There are myriad specials on a chalkboard, along with the in your hand tapas menu. We ordered charrasco meal version, shrimp tapas, calamari. He didn't have diet coke, do you know he went and brought back cases of soda INCLUDING a case of diet coke! You can feel how much pride this place takes in a great food experience for their crowd. Even the though food was amazing, the CS was flawless. My hubby was so happy to have found a traffic break place. Tapas. With love. read more

Came to this place with 3 friends after it was recommended to us. We're greeted right away by 1 out of 2 employees here. We're able to do outside seating - the place is small but we had called ahead of time to make reservations and they were quick to accommodate us. We wanted to order the paella which comes with a warning that it takes 60-90 minutes to make, this was no problem . The time passed quickly , we had sangria and ordered goat cheese croquetas, Serrano ham, the empanadas (favorite was ham and cheese), the ham croquetas, and churrasco. The food was excellent! The service is good for a mom and pop shop but know that the owner is also the chef so you might be waiting a while. For dessert the flan was delicious, super creamy! 10/10 would recommend read more

Delicious food and beer. The goat cheese balls and the gambas are the best dishes! Beer is freezing cold, great for hot weather like Miami.

Great service, delicious fresh made food. Our server Mario was friendly and attentive, while his mother created delicious plates in the kitchen. The vibe was relaxing and cozy. The shrimp, empanadas and tortilla were very tasty. Very family oriented, average pricing...it's like going to grandmas house for some freshly cooked food. First time here, loved it! read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

I am a bit bummed I wasn't able to take more photos but that is because everything looked so good that I couldn't help myself but devour everything as soon as it came to the table. To start off, the name of the restaurant describes exactly what it is. A tiny little spot on the corner of 27th street that's hidden and you would never even think there's a restaurant in there. But don't let the name fool you because as tiny as it is, the food speaks volumes. I ordered the Pulpo a la plancha (grilled octopus) which was one of the best octopus I have ever had! It was seasoned and cooked so well. Then I had the grilled shrimp which had a little bit of a spicy kick but boy was it delicious! Finally for the entree, I had the churassco which comes with two sides and I chose the rice and fries (they are home fries but crunchy just like French fries). The meat was cooked medium and did not disappoint! Service was great as I met he owner and he told us a little bit of the history and we talked about the business and it felt very homey. They only have one person in the kitchen and that person takes time to perfect the dishes and really cares about the food. Make sure to call ahead of time to reserve a table because on busy days it does get pretty full! I would definitely come back for more! read more

This is absolutely one of the best Tapas places I have been to in the southeast. The food was very well prepared and the portions were not micro portions like you normally get. There were four of us in our party for lunch and we had 6 tapas to share. We walked away stuffed. The icing on the cake was our waiter Mario who is from Uruguay. He was very pleasant and personable. Describing the various items and making us feel very comfortable there. It was definitely enjoyable and highly recommended. read more

We had a lovely evening at Rincon Escondido! Everything was superb: the exquisitely prepared tapas, delicious tender churrasco, crisp red wine.....and reasonably priced. The service was warm and friendly, and perfectly timed, provided by the owner/chef/ maitre d, Damian. His restaurant is a true neighborhood gem, with an easy intimate ambience, reminiscent of an earlier time. An added bonus is free accessible parking behind the restaurant. I highly recommend this little spot!! read more

The food is absolutely incredible! We had the mushroom croquetas, spinach empinadas, and queso bomb, and all three were on point. Heads up, being tapas, the portions are small but the food is heavy so order accordingly. There's only one person running the show so it takes a little time for food to come but it's totally worth it. Just go there when you're not in a rush and can relax and savor the food. Highly recommend this place! read more
