From the moment we walked in, we were made to feel right at home. Juana and her son welcomed us so…read morewarmly and quickly got us settled in. The service was attentive from the very beginning, and they immediately took care of us and made the entire experience feel personal and genuine. Once the food came out, every single dish was absolutely delicious. You can truly tell that Juana takes pride in what she does and prepares every meal with care and love for her customers. Everything tasted incredibly fresh, especially the mangu, Cuban sandwich and Rabo - which was amazing! And the desserts were absolutely outstanding -- we left & took home habichuela con dulce and she shared some of her special dessert with us to try and enjoy! My grandson took it lol. It's the perfect ending to a wonderful meal. Her son was also so personable and kind, which made the experience even more memorable for my entire family. It's rare to find a place that combines amazing food with such heartfelt hospitality. We had an amazing time and will absolutely return whenever we're back in the New Jersey area. Thank you, Juana and son, for the incredible food, kindness, and unforgettable experience!

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY HERE. The prices are ridiculous for the tiny portions they give you. And on…read moretop of that, they charge a "service fee" just for sitting down and eating, which is NOT the tip. Seriously, what exactly are we paying for? I can only imagine they would charge me a "bagging fee" if I ordered to go. The food was nowhere near worth the price, and the extra fees made the experience even worse. Never again. Save your money and go somewhere else.

I recently visited this restaurant for the first time. When we walked in, we were seated quickly,…read morewhich was a great start. There was also a DJ playing and the music was really good, creating a fun and lively atmosphere. One thing to keep in mind is that they do not have a parking lot, so street parking is the only option. The prices are also on the higher side, but I was still open to seeing if the experience would be worth it. We ordered the picadera Dominicana and the waiter asked if we wanted guacamole. At no point did she mention that it would be an extra charge, so we said yes assuming it was part of the dish. We also ordered a passion fruit sangria pitcher, which was delicious and a good size for sharing. The picadera itself was good and we enjoyed the flavors. Unfortunately, the experience changed when the bill came. Since we were splitting the bill, they charged the appetizer as two separate portions, which ended up costing more. On top of that, we were charged $13 for a very small cup of guacamole, which they labeled on the receipt as "decorative guac" (it was presented as a Dominican flag in the middle). For just an appetizer and a pitcher of sangria, our total came out to $70. What really left a bad impression was when the server brought the bill back and pointed out where the tip section was, as if we didn't know how to read or weren't planning to tip. That felt unnecessary and a bit rude. It's unfortunate because the food and atmosphere had potential, and I likely would have given this place a much better rating if the lack of transparency about the guacamole charge and the comment about the tip hadn't happened.

It's usually really hard finding good Dominican food around the area, and I know cause I've been…read morelooking. Unless you go over the GW bridge into the heights, I found that other places lacked quality ingredients and flavor as the they don't really have many competitors. I'm happy to say Rincon has finally allowed me to stop my search for great Dominican food in jersey cause honestly, I was getting tired of spending so much on mediocre food. I came in with my girlfriend to pick up food around 11 in the morning. We got the oxtail with rice and black beans and I got the mangu which came with eggs, salami and literally one of the nicest piece of fried cheese I've ever had. The oxtail was also flavored perfectly and portions was more than generous. Black beans that came with the oxtail was also fantastic. We also grabbed a couple empanadas and they were all filled to the brim. I'm SUPER glad my girlfriend found this place. I've already decided this place is a regular spot now. I would recommend this spot to anyone looking for great oxtail or mangu. I'm probably gonna be back on a weekly basis cause now that 16 dollar toll can be spent here.

Plates are about $13 and they will FILL YOU UP. My husband loves coming here but he has to come…read morewith me because he can't speak Spanish, haha! No worries he's good at pointing at what he wants and they bring you your food to the table. It's his favorite place to eat in the neighborhood, of course I love it too. There's always soccer on the tv and the ladies working here are very friendly. Check out their weekly lunch specials on their menu or feed your whole family with their huge servings.
