What a lovely little hot spot this was! Totally unassuming from the outside who'd have thought there would be such warm service and quality food inside. We were so happy to dodge the SOBE area for Valentine's Day and find ourselves in this tiny yet still romantic gem. The one server for 18 little tables was super friendly and the food was flavorful and down to earth. We had shrimp, grilled calamari and the goat cheese balls. To love the shrimp is to be a true garlic lover, which we are. The calamari was cooked to perfection, delicately presented with very light but savory lemony oil and herbs. The goat cheese balls made for a totally decadent dessert- save for last and you won't be disappointed! read more

Went here last night after a reading some yelp reviews and wanted to see if it lived up to the hype... It definitely did! This place is small and dimly lit which adds to it's charm . My Friend and i say down with big appetites ready for what rincon Escondido had to offer. Mario, the server greeted us and took our sangria pitcherorder . It was amazing . Refreshing and had a hint of cinamon ... Perfect for the heat outside! We began to talk about the menu with him and he recommended we order the pulpo a la plancha and told us that the other items we chose were all very good. He was very knowledgable , attentive and handsome ... Eye candy is always a plus in my book ;) he brought us potatos aioli which was like a potato salad and it was very tasty! Next we got a tabla mixta ( meat and cheese platter) which came with olives and it was the right amount of salty! Next we got the setas al Jerez ! Holy gods of food! This was everything ! It was almost like a Marsala but better . I almost drank the sauce . Next we had the bombas de queso =fried goat cheese balls with honey . Perfection . It was both sweet and salty ! And lastly we had the grilled pulpo ! We added a squeeze of lemon because we love lemon but it was flavorful on it's own and wasn't that chewy texture . All of that came out to $89 with included gratuity! I will definitely be coming back read more

We are always looking for new places to eat and we found this nice place in yelp !! AMAZING food and the waiter is supper nice ! The place extremely small but very charming when you walk in you feel like to are somewhere in Madrid !! The food was amazing ! Nice little place hidden in Miami ! read more

The place is very small and run by a mother-son duo. The food was extraordinary and the ambience was very relaxed. Frankly I am embarrassed I never knew about this place until now since I live a block away. The most tender octopus ever. The gambas al ajillo pull no punches with their roasted garlic and spicy sauce. Definitely has become my favorite place in the neighborhood! read more

Perfect name, perfect place for late night tapas and sangria. After enjoying a flamenco show at the Adrienne Arsht Center down the street, my friend and I yelped spanish tapas and based our decision on the reviews. I'm happy to say they didn't disappoint. The place is uber cozy, hip with personable service and the best sautéed shrimp I've ever eaten in a restaurant...like cleaning-the-bowl-dry-with-your-bread best. The calamari was also tasty, the sangria full of robust flavor. We'll be returning for sure. read more

So I found this little gem on Yelp while looking for somewhere laid back to go on date night with another couple. I am so glad I did! We all loved everything we tried!! For appetizer we had the bombas de queso, the fried garbanzos, the croquetas de jamon...all delicious. Main plates were a fish, pechuga de pollo a la milanesa, and two goat cheese stuffed churrascos. Everyone loved all their food. The owner/waiter was beyond hospitable and nice. I would definitely recommend and will go back! read more

Excellent Food... can't be more delicious "Beaf milanesa". The Chef amazing!!! I just ordered over the internet thru EAT 24 and for some reason my address came wrong to them. They called me and verified the address and the delivery was way faster than 45 minutes as posted on EAT 24. The delivery guy forgot the salad that was included in my order and the Chef in person called me with an apologize and she sent another guy just delivering my salad.... I considered this type of service and food quality a five star with no doubt. I want now to give them a try for dinner with my wife and taste other delicatessen dishes.... Felt in love with this place. read more

My husband and I visited your place for the 2nd time last night. I just want to say I love everything about it. The food was delicious and the service was great! I will definitely recommend this little hidden gem. Look forward to going again soon. The octopus is my favorite. Both ways they make it. read more

The most delicious food ever! First time going to this hidden gem and I'll definitely come back. Great service and once again the food was awesome. read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - Churrasco with goat cheese and Snapper - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ok so last night we wanted to celebrate my friends birthday and was looking for a new place and came across this restaurant on yelp. We decided to give it a try . I am so happy we did .This is the SPOT!!!!!. Great amazing food with outstanding taste . It is a tiny place and because their food is fresh and made on the spot there will be a wait of maybe 45 min for your main course . The owner Damian is amazing and he will tell you upfront wait will happened and is also listed in their menu . However again and I repeat is because the food is made fresh at the moment . So if you are in a rush to go in and out and want to eat pre-cooked or frozen food don't come here . If you want to enjoy good fresh made food and amazing hospitality and take your time and enjoy then this is your placed. Sorry there were no pictures we enjoyed eating it lol We had the amazing Bombas the queso and gambas al ajillo to start along with a pitcher of sangria which was really good and you can tell it was not make with cheap wine like other places. We also had a churrasco relleno de queso de Cabra with salad and potatoes and the pollo a la manchega!!!! All of the plates recommended 100% I will definitely come back Damian the owner is so nice and attentive and friendly !!! This was my first time here but definitely not the last . Thank you Damian read more

What a find! Amazing food and lovely owner. We highly recommend this small quaint amazing restaurant. Don't let anything detour you from this south american experience. read more

Went for the first time and it was a delightful experience. The food is suoerb... and you can find delicious vegeterian dishes too. It is small and intimate with a cozy decor that you don't expect when seeing it from outside. It has parking in the back. The service is great and the owner is so friendly and goes table to tabke making you feel more than welcome. Definitely a little jewel that you have to try. Prices are reasonable too. read more

My fiancé and I finally stopped in last night and this amazing neighborhood gem certainly didn't disappoint! The restaurant is small and cozy. They have daily specials listed on 2 chalk boards, along with a regular menu....it was a mouthwatering selection. We went with the Serrano ham for a starter and the seafood paella for our main, both of which were delicious. They also brought out a complimentary cold potato dish with a creamy yogurt, dill and garlic sauce that was unbelievable. So on top of a great culinary experience which was very reasonably priced, I have to mention how the awesome service we received too. The owner was very hands on and you can tell he has a personal interest in making sure his customers leave happy and full. We couldn't be more pleased with our experience and look forward to our next visit to Rincon! read more

Rincon escondido is small but the flavors are amazing! I love eating tapas when I go to Spain, and Rincon escondido brings back those memories in such a positive way. The service is outstanding, the sangria is a must have drink, last time I was there I had the paella and it was simply marvelous. The chiperones were grilled perfectly, even the complimentary starter of potato salad is the most amazing potato salad I have ever had. Can I say more, yes but you should go and try it yourself you will be pleased. read more

Trifecta - great food, great prices, great service. Will definitely be back.

The place is very nice. The food is excellent with a taste very good and the presentation is attractive. The price is a little high. I recommended the place for an especial occasion. read more

Everything I ordered was delicious had gambas al ajillo, cheese plate and salad al Escondido and I loved every bite. Very dope, hidden gem in Miami read more

Nothing great. Plus out of the four things I ordered for delivery, they forgot to bring two of them. Thus, I paid $44 for two small plates. They were rude on the phone, as well, when I called to let them know. Rather than sending my food back out they decided, on their own, to credit me. But... I'm still hungry. read more

This is a small restaurant but the food is delicious! You will be served by the owner who is a really nice guy. I recommend the paella but you better order it in advance ( call them the day before going). I went there with some friends after my civil wedding bc I knew the place already and everyone loved it. they asked me again for the name of the place be they want to go back. It's not cheap, but totally worth it! read more

Visited based on yelps positive reviews. Not disappointed. Food was good, nice laid back atmosphere, service was good. Had tapas, a main dish, and Sangria. All were good. Appears to be a family owned restaurant, tables a bit small, but ok. Nice casual dining experience. read more

My boyfriend and I went here for dinner and had a great experience. The owner waited on us and had a really warm personality. He told us some of his favorite things on the menu and when we told him my boyfriend had a gluten intolerance he was very helpful. The food and wine was delicious! Overall this place was amazing! read more

Stopped in before catching a flight and had a fantastic meal. 4 of us shared many of the small plates but the highlights were the grilled octopus and chorizo. The sangria was also a great hit! Excellent, fresh food and cozy atmosphere. Really glad we stopped in. read more

Most amazing hole in the wall in Miami. Everything on the Menu has been amazing. Great prices. And best sangria in Miami. My boyfriend very handsome man found this hidden gem and took me here. We took friends here but they fought but loved the food. No more double dates but would def go back here w future hubby anytime. He's the best DAMIAN AND CHRIS. The boyfriend is Chris though. Come thru! Food so good u make love after. Depends. I'm religious. read more

So so so good! My roommate talked it up so much that I didn't know if it could live up to the hype but it was even better. Every tapas we ordered was incredible, flavorful, and perfectly portioned. Plus the service was great. Going back for sure. read more

Not so happy on my second visit here. took them a hour and 30 min to serve me 5 tapas lol I asked for the paella they said I had to order it a day before I thought it was pretty funny but my waiter said no I'm serous you must call me the day before and order it. I asked myself why not just take it off the menu! But what do I know I'm not a restaurant owner. Well first time I was there 2 years ago owner was pretty cool and food was good and pretty fast but guess I won't be back there. read more

I Really loved this place very very good food, amazing costumer service and very cozy environment. I recommend the grilled octopus. Definitely I'll will come back soon. read more

Excellent in every way, was not anticipating the quality of food from such a small hidden away place in the middle of a decrepit shopping plaza with a Papa Johns! Server Pau was efficient and friendly. Finally a new place to add to our list of favorites! read more

very cute inside. simple but effective. great authentic tapas and yummy (a bit sweet) red sangria. great place if you're looking for a nice, easy, and affordable sit down meal! :) read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - ;-) - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

As an spaniard living in Miami, this place fells like home away from home. Don't expect hyper refined nouvel cusine tapas, this place is real, like any other bar on an spanish main street. Prices are more than reasonable, and the service is really friendly. I recommend it to anyone who want to enjoy a casual lunch or dinner, without renouncing to eat well. read more

So happy I discovered this place. As its name suggests, it can get a little lost in the array of restaurants and stores that line Biscayne Blvd., but once you've found your way to it, you'll never forget it (and will want to keep coming back). The owner, Damien, is so friendly and welcoming. Leaving the restaurant after my meal, I felt like I had made a new friend. The place is also decorated so perfectly -- a real, homey feel that you'll absolutely love. It helps that it's pretty small and intimate too. Plus, the music they play is so relaxing and unique. I could have stayed there forever. Now on to the food -- WOW! I went with my mom and sister, so we ordered a few of their tapas and split everything (even though what I really wanted to do was eat everything myself). Plate after plate of delicious, traditional Spanish tapas. And all at a great price too. The saddest part is that not many people go to this phenomenal restaurant. Yes, keeping it a secret is fun, but keeping it open is probably more important. Highly recommend it and really hope the word gets out about it. read more

This is an amazing restaurant! My friends and I are from out of town and we really wanted authentic Spanish food. One of our friends is allergic to seafood and Damian, the owner, went above and beyond to make sure he accommodated her allergy. Her dish was delicious. He really put his customers` interests first. Their paella is TOO DIE FOR!! It was so flavorful, if I had a picture I would post it but I was too excited to eat it all. I would definitely recommend this to all my friends and come back here! This place is so cute and such a relaxing atmosphere! You will definitely not regret this place. read more

Effing amazing. I have never left a review of any other restaurant--this place was fantastic. Food, amazing. Service, better than amazing (they even stayed open late for us). These people care about their food, care about your experience, and are genuinely good people. read more

GREAT place for lunch!! Do not miss this little place when in Miami. The food was phenomenal, the service was excellent and the prices were very reasonable. We had the red sangria- delicious! And a number of tapas. Everything was amazing and the interior is adorable. We will definitely be back read more

So we heard about this place from a lyft driver who raved about their paella and his recommendation was on point! We arrived early in the day and ordered it and opted to go out and explore the area for the 1.5 hours that it would take to make the paella for two. We were stoked to find that the staff was not on super friendly but very upfront about the time it takes to prepare. Mario took down our number and said he would call us when it was about 15 minutes from being ready. We ended up getting right in for a quick massage prior and the time worked out great! When he called and we returned we were seated right away and drinks were served. Then about 7-10 minutes later our paella was delivered. This meal was the the best one we experienced in Miami without question! The paella was incredible and well cooked. It not only had a copious amount of seafood of all kinds, but had a great seasoned flavor. We ordered for two and were both hungry but it was a challenge to even get through 3/4 of the dish due to its size. The end result was that everything including the wait was worth this delicious dish. I would recommend that every give this a try, but I highly suggest you call ahead and order it early or else it could take up to two hours to make! read more

Rincon Escondido Tapas - Spanish Near Me - Miami, Florida

Good tapas. Wine was excellent. Service was friendly, fast, and professional. Food not so good. We had the churrasco with cheese in the middle. It was tooo salty. Will i go back; only if in the area. But i will recommend. I guess is a hit or miss. read more

Holy crap! This place is great! It's very small, they only have 7 tables, but that's what makes it so great. Everything is cooked to order. So be prepared to not be rushed. We had the grilled squid, fried goat cheese balls, churasco steak, and the paella with seafood and chicken. Also washed it down with a bottle of sauvignon blanc. Very good food, and it's very fairly priced. The quality is outstanding and the service is excellent. read more

Everything was amazing!!! Great service and charming location! Th Octopus was out of this world!

I love this place when I work in Miami. The chef and her son are excellent people, treat me like family and seem always happy to see me. It's s small gem right in downtown Miami read more

This well-reviewed place was near our pre-cruise Hotel and we thought we'd take a chance. Sooo glad we did. Terrific service from the waiter/host on duty who gave us some great recommendations and food and drink (the 1906 Reserva Especial beer was perfect). Garlic shrimp, garbanzos fritos and empanadas were excellent. Finished with fried goat cheese with jelly/honey. Two thumbs up. You won't regret it. read more

Nothing compares to the lunch special! For $12.95 you get an appetizer (lentil soup is my favorite), a main course with two sides and dessert. How can you beat that? The food is fresh and so tasty. Service has always been great. They recognized me upon my return and now I am welcomed with hugs. This little spot has won my vote. I will continue to go back! read more
