You can order on their website for pickup which is convenient too. The customer service is pretty mediocre, the girls behind the counter will completely ignore you and keep talking. If you're waiting on an order, I'd definitely suggest checking in once or twice because a few times now I've been waiting and they just "forgot" to call out my name. (Alas, the price and quality keep me coming back lol)

There was one man waiting for his order. 1st red flag. The place was dark and dingy looking, 2nd red flag. We ordered real basic 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and peas, my husband ordered 1/2 chicken with yellow rice and red beans. The chicken was so hard and dry that I almost choked swallowing it! It had no taste and neither did the beans and rice. They were dry as well, rice was overly sticky, nothing 'traditional' about the food. I may not be latino but I have eaten enough Latin dishes to know what's traditional and what's not, and this place IS NOT. Don't bother going here if you want, at the least, good tasting, authentic Dominican food that is prepared well!

After a long day of running errands + knowing we would get home late, we definitely were going to…read morebe in no mood to cook anything. I found Rinconcito Latino, which would be along the route home, so we ordered via Seamless for pickup, one Saturday evening. The quoted pickup time was 10-20 minutes but I still had to wait an additional 10 minutes after that. But no big deal, it was prime time on a Saturday night, after all. To start, hubby and I split a chorizo empanada. I enjoyed this but feel like it could have been served with some kind of sauce. We ended up making our own chipotle mayo sauce to go with it, which paired perfectly. For my main, I had the Jibarito Sandwich (instead of bread, it's a sandwich with two pieces of plantains with your choice of meat in the middle with lettuce, tomato, onion and house signature sauce). I went with the al pastor since it's not something I can easily make at home. The meat itself was more like sliced pork chop than it was al pastor. It was a little bit dry but the flavor was good. Overall, I enjoyed my sandwich. The plantains were a nice update from regular bread. The sandwich was also served with fries, which were soaked with oil but I ate them anyway. He had the Fried Pork Chunks, which comes with rice and beans, which was pretty good. But, I do wish there was an option of yellow rice rather than just white rice - but not a deal breaker. The portions are pretty big, and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day. If you're craving Latin food and find yourself in the area, Rinconcito Latino is a great option.

Now I realize just like the last time, I got last nights leftovers heated up. I have never been served white rice that was this mushy and WET, totally inedible, and disgusting!

Again, not my first time but definitely my LAST!!

Latin Soul is a neighborhood staple that opened pre-Pandemic so it's been around a while now. When…read moreyou walk in, a giant mural on one wall greets you. To the left is a long counter/steam table behind glass. To the right is seating. Beyond the cashier is where desserts and drinks are stored. There is a rest room in the back. This is a relatively nice set up but it is also no frills. This space has clearly had several other identities over the years. My go to dish is rice with peas and pernil. I will also add in a side order of maduros. The rice is always delicious and perfectly cooked. The pernail is cut fresh to order as it sits in a steam table tray of its own juices. The crispy skin sits on top and they cut pieces for you with your order. Be sure to ask them to scoop some gravy onto your meat and rice! The pernil is perfectly seasoned. Not too salty, not under-seasoned and it has a great texture. It is never dry or chewy (in my experience anyway). The maduros vary visit to visit. Sometimes they are perfectly cooked and sweet, other times they are a bit too soggy. Just eyeball them before you order. While pernil is my "go to" dish, I have also had their turkey in the past. Turkey is hard to keep moist, even if it's sitting in a steam table tray of broth. I will say this, if you get it fairly fresh the turkey is tender and has great flavor. Again, eyeball it before ordering. There is staff turnover at Latin Soul, so my experience with the person serving me has ranged over the years. Years ago there was one person who was super nice and friendly. Then for a while a different person took over who seemed often eager for me to leave. More recently however the staff has been very nice and friendly. Your mileage will vary. Latin Soul is great. It's one of my favorite places to go on this stretch of Elmora. Definitely give them a shot!

The steak and chicken was delicious. However, when I went to pay, I noticed there was a 15% gratuity automatically added to my bill. I speak little Spanish. When I asked about where the sign was displayed saying an automatic gratuity is charged, I couldn't get an answer. I typed it into the translator, and still did not get an answer. What is even worse is the restaurant did me wrong. and then acted like I'm the bad guy. I always gave a good tip when I came here. In the state of NJ, it is against the law to surprise people with gratuity charges on their bill. I am reporting this tomorrow. I hope their greed catches up with them. I can't come here anymore. It is hard to return to an establishment that has deceived you.
