I have visited El Rinconcito Latino of Kendall on numerous occasions and the service as well as the food is above exceptional. Once I got there and I was feeling very bad. The young waitress upon our arrival directed us to a table and I request a large orange juice without is to be expedited. In less than 1 minute she returned with the juice. We were there this past Thursday upon a return home from a long trip. The waitress that attended us was very polite and friendly. I asked her who's Birthday it was and she in a shy yet happy way said it was her's. Her name is Daylin. She did not disappoint us with the service and her friendliness. This Restaurant is one that is here to stay for the excellent food, service and locality. I highly recommend it. read more

When we walked inside, we were immediately seated and we were probably inside the restaurant for less than 45 minutes when all was said and done so service was incredibly quick. I will say this does appear to be a mostly Spanish speaking establishment. I started with a café con leche which was very good. However, they brought it out deconstructed which was new for me. Then my partner and I both did breakfast. They brought out the toast before the rest of the food which was nice. And the bread and coffee were incredibly hot which I point out because while I liked my food, most of it was not as hot as I would have preferred. Overall, it was not the best Cuban breakfast I had ever had, but it was good. read more

This review is about the delivery driver. He was delivering an order to my neighbor. However, he drove at 15 mph in our gated community with a 5 mph speed limit, through the grass and landscaping, nearly missing a tree. Apparently, driver licenses and English are not required by the restaurant read more

El Rinconcito Latino - Cuban Near Me - Miami, Florida

Disappointed. I have been coming here for over 20 plus years. I recently purchased take out for a lechon bowl and pan con bistec. However both were really disgusting. The bowl was mainly nasty pork fat... picture attached. The pan con bistec tasted horrible as if the steak had been fried in the same oil as fish. I went back the next day to talk to a manager all she said was she did not know how that happened, was sorry and refunded me the money for the only the bowl. Customer service lacks. Not the way to treat a loyal customer of over two decades..... read more

First time coming here and the food was pretty good. Arroz imperial had a lot of chicken, good flavor and cheesy. The pork loin was the special of the day and it was delicious. I'm giving them a 3.5 because the bread was stale and the flan was the worst I've ever had. It had a flavor that is not typical in any flan I've ever had. The service was good and I think it's a good neighborhood Cuban restaurant. read more

Five stars because it's hard to find really good carne empanadas the way you make them at home. Juicy, flavorful and full of carne. Also they cafe con leche is definitely caffeinated and creamy. I always come here when I fly in from NYC. This is the place to go if you're dreaming of good empanadas and cafe con leche. read more

We've been coming to this Rinconcito for a few years, and always had good experiences. They serve your typical Cuban fare, met with good prices and short wait times. Our usual meal here is breakfast, which never disappoints in both taste and amount. El desayuno Rinconcito includes a mountain of food l, and the ever addictive Cafe con Leche. On the latest visit, we were surprised to see they had undergone a full renovation. The new decor and furniture is modern, and reminds me of your higher end Cuban cafes. Service remains reliable and consistent and overall, we think this place is a great spot for the Hammocks area. read more

Service, food and ambience on the Rinconcito on SW 142 Avenue are very good. The service is excellent by most of the young ladies, and food is most of the time ,also very good. Manager is always on the ball in this Rinconcito .....can't say the same on other Rinconcito. Keep up the wonderful work. read more

I live fairly close to El Rinconcito and I've only visited this place about 3 times. My family usually and I opt to go to Sergio's, which ends up being extremely crowded and now their food portions have gotten smaller. Not to mention parking is a nightmare there. So I feel it's only fair I leave a review for my recent experience at El Rinconcito. Atmosphere: Since my last visit (about 3 years ago), they have spruced up the restaurant. In the past there was plenty of tables with very few booths. I even recall an odd chandelier with forks hanging upside down. Now the place has a nice clean vibe with plenty of booth space. This restaurant has indoor and outdoor seating. My only complaint is that the outside seating has heavy smokers. Not sure what it is, but that cigarette smell comes inside the restaurant and it's very unpleasant. My suggestion would be to move the outdoor seating to strictly the corner of the restaurant near the little order window. Service: Service was great. All the ladies were attentive and polite. My only suggestion would be for the waitresses to wear name tags. I apologize if they were as I really had a hard time recalling as we were provided service by all. We honestly had a hard time figuring out her our waitress was. Food: I was pleasantly surprised to receive our food. The quantity was fair for the price. The food was delicious. I ordered the salmon with mashed potatoes and Maduros. I devoured it! My kids has the kids breakfast which came with eggs, pancakes and fries. Probably could have ordered one plate for them. My husband ordered palomilla but indicated to me that there was lots of fat. Either way, we cleaned our plates with the exception of the kids. Then we asked for dessert. We ordered two tres leches and one ice cream shake. Overall for a family of 4, our final bill was $66. We will definitely return as we had a great experience after 3 years. I think this will be my go to Cuban restaurant going forward. read more

Always too hungry to take pics but I realized I haven't left a review of one of my favorite spots! Rinconcito consistently delivers on great quality Hispanic food with huge portions at a great price. 7 locations across Miami to get you fed anywhere you're at and all of them are equally good in regards to food but Kendall & 142 is my favorite location for customer service. These women at the ventanita treat everyone like family and coffee is always flowing! Croquetas were hot and fresh with my dinner order at 8pm. read more

I wish i could put 0 stars, waited over 30mins for a sandwich and bad 3 staff members make believe they couldn't understand me when i asked for a refund.. they just forced the sandwich on me after waiting another 5mins. The sandwich was also basically all fat and somehow.. bone fragments. Disgusting sandwich, horrible staff. Never going back here ever. read more

El Rinconcito Latino is a staple in the community. It's got the old school ventanita where you can get your afternoon cafecito & pastelitos from which is quite possibly my favorite. I used to get the cantinas from here which are HUGE & for the price totally worth it. But one of my favorite things is a cuban breakfast. Nothing quite beats a tostado & cafe con leche, add una croqueta y ufff espectacular. The other morning after my daughter's basketball game we decided to indulge & have a big cuban breakfast. We walked in & they've updated the place. New booths which adds a lot more seating. It's cozier. The ambience is always nice. The staff is always nice with a big welcoming smile. We sat in a booth & they gave us enough time to decide what we wanted to eat which is never easy. I forgot how many options & I also forgot just how big a rinconcito breakfast is ! My husband & I got the Chema Breakfast which comes with eggs, potatoes, croqueta, tostada & café. My kids both got the rinconcito breakfast that comes with egg, sausage, potatoes, pancakes, Tostada & cafe con leche. There are options instead of sausage you can get bacon, or ham & you can get house potatoes or French fries. But it's a lot of food & absolutely delicious ! read more

Food is so good, and the service is amazing! Love coming here with my family. The empanadas, and the steak is delicious. Such a good staple of Cuban food to have close to my house. It is definitely one of my go to restaurants around the area of Kendall. read more

Food is amazing, service great . Portions very generous. Staff super polite and courteous. Love the Bistec ala milanesa .

This location does not see much traffic, so it's more of a take spot. You can dine in. I ordered the tostone relleno and not what I received. To be honest cheated and not that great disappointed on the online menu received 4 of them when on line it was 6. They were just ground meat and a plantain shaped and a small cup. This is what you call cheated and not worth ordering at all, also check your order lately many restaurants lost the touch of making good food and quality, this time the boxed was check for low quality and not enough you guys owe me 2 more and made right . Don't bother eating here they will take your money and low quality food and will not give you enough . read more

If you're looking for Cuban breakfast staples, this is it! They have your basic Cuban tostada, cafe con leche and colada. I often come here for their two egg breakfast special that comes with a side of bacon/ham, plus tater tots/fries/house potatoes (your choice), tostada and cafe con leche for $4.99 - you can substitute and get a smaller but stronger colada. You can also ask for a slice of tomato instead of bacon. This time, I came in for Brunch and ordered a medianoche sandwich for $6.89 (on 2 plates), and a fresh squeezed OJ for $3.49. A colada was $1.45 each. The colada and OJ are the best!! Each day there are different specials, I have tried the rabo encendido (oxtail) on Sunday and baby churassco on Friday before, both were decent with generous portions and sides. Food wise I would rate this 3 or 3.5 stars because the consistency varies, especially the breakfast items. For example the medianoche was missing mustard and pickles, plus it was stacked with literally COLD cuts of ham. I removed a few layers before I ate it. The breakfast specials (no pictures here) can be hit or miss. Some days the toast is crispier, other times it may be barely warm. Bacon can also be super crispy...or the complete opposite. I mean for five dollars why bother arguing to change it. All I care about is the coffee and it's awesome here. Service wise I'm really happy with the servers, they are welcoming, attentive, and efficient! I come here for coffee at least once a week, either dine in or order at the to go window. There are several Rinconcito around town, this one is closest to the Hammocks police station, you might see patrol cars on some mornings. Always tends to get packed on weekends with --- Updated with pics of new breakfast menu and prices. Same quality of food! read more

I have been here a couple of times and and my wife has been coming here for years and I am not really sure what is up with the negative reviews. I have come here only for breakfast, so maybe I am missing something. I came here last week and was seated promptly, order was taken quickly, the food came out quickly, it was a big portion and the food was all pretty good food. The service was ok. Oh, and the prices are crazy. We both got eggs, bacon, bread, tater tots and café con leche. The bill came to about $12. Totally unbeatable value in my opinion. read more

Este restaurante cobra hasta por los platos de foam y los plásticos o sea pagar $0.40 centavos por el container de una sopa de pollo por ejemplo. Y si te dan tenedores y cuchillos también te cobran y los platos en que te echan la comida también te cobran. No, lo recomiendo desde que tiene dueño nuevo a perdido la calidad y el servicio es fatal. Si ordenas siempre falta algo y claro no puedes esperar más de una hora que es lo que dura el delivery para que te traigan frijoles negros, porque a ellos se le olvidó ponerlos en tu orden. read more

I usually dont write reviews but it has happened to me twice at this place...I first tried breakfast with my hubby and the fries were done in old oil( tasted pretty bad) the bacon was not any better and my eggs were super greasy.

Quien quiera que sea el dueño de ese local no sabe ni remotamente lo que es calidad en una comida, puede ser la mas humilde y simple pero no puede faltar el sabor, la mas básica presentación y una buena cocción. La persona que está en la cocina, ni es chef, ni es cocinero y no sabe lo que está haciendo, una de las peores comidas que yo he probado en mi vida provienen de ese infame lugar, ademas de mala estaba fría, los tostones eran un palo, las mal llamadas frituras de Malanga eran unas tortas rebosadas de harina con un sabor bastante cuestionable, y ni que decir del cerdo asado o el pollo. No existe vocabulario en Español suficiente para describir la porquería de comida que me vendieron en este lugar. read more

Came here three nights and partaked of their specials. I found all of the servers very attentive and especially appreciated English speakers. The decor was pleasantly surprising compared to outside appearance. The ambience inside was relaxing...again a surprise compared to the apparent line at the take out window. The specials arrived rapidly. The prices were very reasonable. The Friday specials of the sword fish and churrasco were delicious an A. The Tuesday steak special was fatty and full of un-tenderized tendons, definitely a D-. Thursday's special of ropa vieja was greasy and bland, another D-. The merlot table wine was decent, came in a small bottle and was a good value at $4.95. I can only recommend this place to someone that knows the menu and may want something off the special menu served in a timely manner. Otherwise it can be a hit or miss proposition. read more
