Convenient cafe located right across the street from the Engineering Center at FIU. Stopped by here for lunch and dinner during my stay in Miami. The waitresses were very sweet and gave me some great recommendations on the sandwiches to try here. They didn't disappoint here and give you a lot of food for the price. What surprised me was how good their drinks were. Had a Cuban coffee for the first time after dinner - on the sweeter side for an espresso, but quite balanced. I also got a strawberry milkshake, which is less thick than what you would expect but tasted phenomenal and had real chunks of strawberry mixed in. Will definitely be coming back in the future! read more

I was in the area with Cuban relatives around lunch time and obviously Cuban food was the go to! We decided to try el rinconcito cubano and sat outside to enjoy the nice weather that day and also there were loose roosters which we enjoyed as well. Our server was nice and friendly but the food was just ok. Also they do an extra charge if you request a to go box. I'm not sure we would come here again. read more

Cuban food is well outside my wheelhouse, but after this dinner, I'm a fan. The relatively low rating only comes because the steak was thin, grisly, and tough. I think if I'd ordered something different, they'd have been five stars. In other words, avoid the steak. But the seasonings, and everything else on the plate, were first rate. If you're hungry for Cuban food, I do recommend this place. read more

The food at this place is good, but I don't know what happened this day we ordered a fried fish wheel and it looked very good, but my wife and I arrived home with an upset stomach and very uncomfortable.the service is fine and the Ambiance is not bad . read more

I enjoyed rinconcito cubano. The service was quick, especially for a Sunday and during brunch time (11:30am)! It is located in the corner of a strip mall, and because of its corner placement, you do not feel the overall "busyness" of the other businesses. The food overall was good, it was not "the best Cuban style food in Miami", but it got the job done in terms of satisfying my desire for a simple Cuban breakfast. My partner ordered the vaca frita, and it was fine. Nothing to write home about... and it was not his favorite vaca frita. He gave it 3 stars overall. My plantain omelette was fine, it was not as fluffy as I would have liked it, but it was fine. 3.5 stars. The Cuban toast was good, the bread was fresh and nicely toasted with just the right amount of butter. 5 stars. The café con leche was delicious! I took an extra cup to-go 5 stars. Between the service, price, free parking, and overall food quality I rated this establishment a solid 3.9 and rounded up to 4 stars. I would come back for their Cuban toast and cafe con leche, which is a 'go-to' in Cuban culture. It's a an overall good Cuban spot for the Sweetwater-Flagler area. read more

First time here my wife and I ordered to go and can recall food was decent. Came here for lunch ad had their Pan Con Bistec. As a PCB critic, this definitely met the requirement. Great taste.

Their portions are big, the food is fresh and served with a good appearance. The staff is very nice , fast and they make you feel very comfortable. The restaurant is very clean. I definitely recommended very highly read more

Don't go to this place this is my second time going giving the benefit of the doubt and no way going back I ordered a pan con bistec which is a steak sandwich and the bread was hard, you can tell it was not fresh we also ordered a fried fish and the fish looked like it was overcooked , we ordered a grilled chicken which is pollo a la plancha and it was not presentable . The frituras of maíz overcooked a little more burnt . Very disappointed . The only thing good was the fresh lemonade . Will not go there again . The ambiance was alright and the service was good , overall not going back unless I'm just having a lemonade . read more

Great food for the price. Definitely coming back for breakfast again. Service was great, and ambiance is what you would expect from a Latin restaurant. Staff was good read more

My husband and I stop by for a quick snack in the afternoon. In Sweetwater, there is a cafe in every corner. We didn't know which one to pick. There were big name brand bakeries and cafes but I wanted to try somewhere small and unique. Yelp helped us find it. We had ham qroquetas and cortadito. Qroquetas were big and warm. I liked the flavor but nothing really special. Cortadito was tasty and my husband's cafesito was good too. It was just from outside window but next time, I want to try their food. read more

Rinconcito Cubano - Perico Ripiado - Cafeteria Near Me - Miami, Florida

Ambiance and cleanness is about a 6.5 out of 10. Service quality depends on the level of training of your waiter and her mood. The food is decent but not great, flavorless meat and chicken steaks is the house signature. read more

Their fufu de platano it's amazing! Always attentive service. Enough food to split in 1/2 to take home.

The service at the window is very slow. I ordered and prepaid online and told the attendant so. She took her sweet time, flirted with the men there and finally handed me my order after I had to wait for more than 10 minutes. read more

Stopped by for a simple dinner at this Classic Cuban spot just off the Dolphin and NW 107th Ave. Found myself having a Croqueta Preparada, which is essentially a Cuban sandwich with ham croquetas. It it the spot! The sandwich was cut in quarters, and I washed it down with a watermelon juice. It was just me out after a long day at work, so I didn't get to try other items, but they have a very extensive menu. They have a Ventana for quick service, along with regular table service and both indoor and outdoor seating. On a Friday at 7pm it wasn't very busy, I would imagine they have a bigger breakfast and lunch crowd. If I found myself in the area again looking for a lunch, dinner or breakfast, perhaps if I was picking up or dropping off by the airport. I'd definitely return! read more

Good Cuban food right near FIU. Husband and I had Palomilla steak and chicken with rice beans and plantains. Both were good and I liked their rice and beans too. I'll definitely be back. read more

Large selection of Cuban Classics in this clean and pleasant restaurant. Inside there is ample seating. Parking is also easy. The location is good and the place is clean. The restaurant is visited by locals, which is always a good sign. The bread service consists of tasty, buttery slices of pan cubano. Delicious. Meals are quickly cooked and taste great. I had the Croqueta Preparada (Croquette Sandwich) - it was very tasty. The staff is also attentive and kept our water filled, as well as taking care of anything else we needed. We'll come back to this place for their good portions, tasty food, and top notch service. read more

Cuban cuisine at a great price and great service. Excellent place specials every day of the week. Wait staff are outstanding! Good quality food. You can never go wrong with this location. We have one closer by although we prefer the drive to this one much more roomier than the other location although the other location is good. In a person note: we consider the chef at this location has a better palette to the seasoning. Dress attire: casual Price: $ Enjoy you all! Cheers!! read more

I'll get right to it with the food... not good anymore. Their food was good when they first opened but it has gotten worse with time. The food lacks flavor - it's bland. Just yesterday I ordered vaca frita de pollo con arroz blanco y frijoles negro... white rice = bland black beans = bland chicken = bland plus it wasn't even shredded in the vaca frita style, they just chopped the chicken in chunks and I found 2 cartilage pieces of chicken in the vaca frita which it is not supposed to be in there = nasty the only thing with some sort of flavor were the onions in the vaca frita. And that example that I just gave is not the first time. One more thing, if you like milanesa de pollo, don't order it to go... they will flop the chicken over on itself and when you get home you'll have the cheese all to one side - it's a mess. Sorry, one last thing, you ask for moros and they give you congri - big difference. Patrons keep going there because it's the neighborhood spot, but those patrons will be lying if they told you the food was tasty. This Rinconcito Cubano has to check themselves and step it up. read more

I have been to this place a few times but every time i come its worst. Service is ok, even though 18% gratuity is already included in the bill. Food tastes bland, no flavor, homemade tastes better, and cocktails are trash. They shouldn't offer them if they don't know how to prepare them. I would not come here again for sure. read more

I had a lunch meet up with a friend and needed a spot that was quick but classy. This place was perfect. Service was incredible and the food was very good. It's your Cuban fare, but without the greasy feel. We ordered the Bistec de Pollo and chose Moros and Boniato Hervido as sides. The food came out promptly and portions were large. Prices are very reasonable and the ambiance felt more upscale to your standard Cuban cafeteria. Parking can be hard as this shopping plaza is always packed but worth looking for. Great spot to grab lunch! read more

The restaurant had lots of space and seating. The service was horrible. The waitresses looked like they did not want to be there. Had to wait forever for our check and she forgot food items. The food was average. I ordered arroz imperial. read more

Rinconcito Cubano - Arroz imperial - Cafeteria Near Me - Miami, Florida

It really saddens me to have to write this review about a place that I have been a customer for years. I ordered a lacón con papa for my husband and he went to pick it. What a disappointment! The Lacón was just a big piece of bone. I went back to return it and was extremely disappointed with the manager's attitude and comments. He said, "that's very strange because that was a whole piece" I told him yes a piece of bone! Antonio the manager was not apologetic nor he seem to believe me. It's a shame because this is usually a place I visit on a regular basis. I did get my money back. I'll have to think about it before going back another day! read more

First time in Miami and found this place from Yelp. We had the Ropa Vieja, Cuban Sandwich, and Miami Sandwich. Great portions and everyone loved their food! Highly recommend. We're planning on taking some to-go before our flight leaves. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a quick food stop when we decided to go to El Rinconcito Cubano. The restaurant looks newly remodeled, very nice and clean look. As an appetizer, we ordered mariquitas. I'm used to the mariquitas coming with a side of like a garlic lime type of oil. But they brought us this like cilantro garlic creamy sauce. Luckily it was good, it was just very different. They also brought out this like yellow type of sauce, which I've never had before. The mariquitas we're very good. Since I am vegetarian, I ordered a cheese sandwich on Cuban bread and added on tomatoes and lettuce. It was very very good, I really liked it. I also ordered a side of arroz moro. It was so delicious, I really recommend the arroz moro! Lastly, my boyfriend ordered the pollo a la plancha witj arroz y frijoles. He loved the chicken and rice, he just felt that the beans had little to no flavor. Deff would go back ! read more

Definitely a major upgrade to the previous establishment! This rinconcito stands out not only for its excellent service and food but also for its recent makeover. Looks like the place got a face-lift turning it from a random cafeteria looking juice spot to a legitimate Cuban restaurant. Every single item I tried was as if I was eating at abuelas house and the presentation was nothing short of extraordinary. The menu has much variety to my surprise and ranged not only in price but also in category. You've even got fried rice and pasta to choose from. I went with pescado a lo macho. Can't tell you exactly what it was but I can tell you- it packed plenty of flavor and was delicious. I'd love to go back and try their "arroz con pollo" or "arroz imperial" which tend to be my faves and the flan de queso...I'll order it on every visit which may be a problem. It's waaaaay above average. Definitely give them a shot if you're in the area. read more
