Great atmosphere. Excellent service. Excellent cocktails. Delicious food. I will definitely return.

I read about this place in the newspaper and decided to give it a try. A little background, I am Cuban, raised in Miami by a mom who could absolutely cook like no one' s business. This place was an absolute pleasure to eat at. Even though it was our first time there we were greeted like life long family. The service was unparalleled. Friendly doesn't begin to do it justice. The ham croquet appetizer and frituras de bacalao were insanely delicious. My son had the lechon with moros which were fantastic. The pork was moist and flavorful. The rice equally delicious. My wife ordered the Cuban sandwich which was as good as any I've eve eaten in Miami. My bistec empanizado (breaded steak) was honestly as good as mom used to make. They won me over big time and I will definitely be back. Fantastic experience. Luigi the waiter was an incredible host.

I used to visit the one in Queens - Junction Blvd for years. This is my second time to this location. Food is always delicious Sadly my only complaint is the flan (I forgot to take a pic) The flan is not the best but it's ok Staff is friendly The restaurant is clean and decorated to Cuban decor Very cute

So happy we ordered from Rincon Criollo, I missed the delicious food! I would order from the Queens location for years so when it closed I was very sad. This spot is close to my sister's home so I will be here often! Food is just as delicious here. Loved the outside sitting area. Staff was very nice as well.

Our dining experience at Rincon Criollo was nothing short of extraordinary. From the moment we stepped through the door, we were greeted with warmth and hospitality. The ambiance of the restaurant was inviting, with cozy decor and a lively atmosphere that immediately made us feel welcome. The service was attentive and friendly, adding to the overall enjoyment of our meal. Now, let's talk about the food. the food! Each dish was a celebration of Cuban flavors, expertly prepared and bursting with taste. The appetizers teased our palates with their bold flavors, while the main course left us speechless. I had the pleasure of indulging in the oxtail stew, and I must say, it was a revelation. Tender, succulent meat simmered to perfection in a rich, flavorful sauce. It was truly one of the best oxtail dishes I've ever had the pleasure of tasting. For anyone who appreciates Spanish cuisine, I wholeheartedly recommend Rincon Criollo.

This place never disappoints were the words of my wife. Even my "picky eater" boys were satisfied. We have been going here for years and were frequent eaters at their Jackson Heights location prior to this place opening. The food is as authentically Cuban as you can get without leaving Long Island. The service is super friendly and accommodating. The ambiance is old school NYC restaurant without giving off the feeling that it hasn't been done on purpose. Love this place and the staff. A definite go to.

Love the ambiance and hospitality at this location, although my heart is still with the Corona location. They definitely had a slight edge. However this location is bigger than the Corona location. Food and service was outstanding. Had the ropa vieja with arroz blanco y tostones. It was so delicious and the tostones were so fresh but it is a small portion. If you get the tostones, definitely ask for the mojo de ajo (garlic sauce)!! Both drinks of spiked iron beer and Miami hurricane were pretty tasty. Love the family vibe. Will definitely be back

I was so tired of eating the same food. I wanted a different taste. So we came and tried this place. It's a cute spot. The waitresses were nice. I got ground beef and rice for the kids it doesn't look like much but it is so well seasoned and tasty. The empanadas I was alittle disappointed because they are so small. I also barely tasted the ground beef. It was mostly potatoes. I got steak with peppers and onions. The steak was alittle tough but again I enjoyed the flavor. I did enjoy their rice and beans combo made with bacon that was different. I love plaintains so of course I got two orders and it didn't disappoint. My husband got oxtail stew with white rice and that was very good! I would definitely come back and get the oxtail. I left nice and full. Oh I did enjoy the white sangria as well. That chocolate shot thing they give you at the end idk about lol but overall a good place

I've been here MANY times over the years and even visited their Queens location once. I *love* the food here. The flavors remind me of the food I grew up eating. I don't get it very often since I moved from New York to California. Now that I am a vegetarian, I am grateful that there are still things that I can order here so that I can have the comfort and experience the memories that this delicious food brings. I usually get the white rice, black beans, platanos, yucca, and avocado salad. It's more than enough for me, and I am able to take some food home for later. The flavors are always on point and the food is consistently cooked well. I really love that they use recyclable paper and aluminum containers since I recently stopped visiting restaurants that only use plastic to go containers. They also make yummy cocktails here, I've seen other tables order these, though I've only tried the margaritas. From time to time, they have events around sports matches and the owner is almost always at the restaurant, making sure that everyone is having a good time and enjoying their food. This is a great little family owned restaurant, and you can tell that the owner and the entire staff take pride in the food and the vibe at this restaurant.
