I had the mofongo (Mar y Tierra) with tostones (fried green plantains) and platano madura (sweet plantains), which was delicious and washed it down with a passion fruit slushy drink.

New buffet style

Prices are great and the food is authentic. The only issue is they don't have any of their sauces for the empanadas. My favorite :(

My wife and ai love this place and the staff. The taste and consistency of the food is amazing. Their lunch special is to die for and when ever in that area, it's a must for us.

Roasted Pork Belly with Cuban Rice and Plantain bananas
Lyn S.

Nestled near a gas station, El Rinconcito emerges as a hidden culinary gem awaiting discovery. During my visit to Florida, my craving for authentic Cuban cuisine led me serendipitously to this humble establishment as I put gas in my rental car. I was Intrigued by the crowded restaurant so I decided to venture inside and place a takeout order. I ordered for the roasted pork belly with Cuban rice and plantains, alongside an avocado salad and flan for dessert, I was pleasantly surprised by the authenticity of the dish as I devoured my food in my hotel. The pork was tender and juicy and the pork skin was crispy. The different flavor on the Cuban rice alongside the sweet and perfectly fried plantain satisfied my craving. Don't forget to grab flan to finish your meal because it will sure complete the meal with this creamy, perfectly sweet delight. Despite the language barrier, the staff exuded warmth and hospitality, swiftly attending to my order. In conclusion, stumbling upon El Rinconcito proved to be a fortuitous stroke of luck. With prompt service, delicious authentic food, and affordable pricing I rate this restaurant a perfect 5/5 rating, this hidden gem undoubtedly exceeded my expectations. Try this place out.

Pulled pork with yellow rice and red beans is amazing.  Best Flan I have had!!!

Sooo good. Pulled pork with yellow rice and red beans!! Also the flan is incredible!!!!

Whole snapper empanadas and me.

This place rocks and was very delicious. Whole red snapper took the prize and so did the empanadas. Service was great only wish my Spanish was a good as the food. Ambiance.... You have to enjoy family cooking to appreciate what I was provided. Muy buena.

Yummy food. The restaurant is located as part of a gas station right by the airport. Restaurant has full waiter/waitress service, so you can sit down and eat. They also have a full bar and beer buckets. Looks like lots of friend groups meet up here for lunch/dinner to enjoy Medallitas beer buckets. Very yummy Puerto Rican food overall. The rice was a little bland but it was perfect mixed with the beans. The churrasco was a bit thin but flavor made up for it. I personally would not go out of my way for this spot but if in the area, worth checking out.

Hidden treasure near the Airport at a gas Station. But don't let that steer you away. It's a good family restaurant Great Spanish style food Great drinks and great service. Authentic Latino Caribbean food and drinks. Great prices. The vibe is great with Latino appropriate music. This is the right place to practice your Spanish. And if you don't know about Latino cusine and what to order the menus have pictures. This is worth a visit. Two thumbs up

Their service is great and fast, but more importantly their food is mouth watering good. It always leaves me with a craving to come back and a full stomach ready to tackle the rest of my workday. My favorites have consisted of a Cuban sandwich which is full of pork and sauce and toasted nicely. It also does not fall apart when eating which is a plus when you are trying to stay looking presentable. Their pork is amazingly juicy and just falls apart in your mouth and has been worth every stain I have accidentally caused on my dress shirts. The white rice is fluffy and simple and good but their yellow rice is much better with many items. Their chicharron de cerdo is crispy and breaks easy and it's never been hard or chewy. Their ropa vieja is also delicious and I can't help but devour the entire plate. The rice and beans paired real good with this! My favorite sides have been the avocado salad and their macaroni salad! Both very light and balanced well with light citrus flavors in the avocado salad. I'll keep coming back here because the food honestly reminds me of so many great dishes my family use to make at home and after eating at so many places around Orlando I had yet to find a better place to get Spanish food like this!

On Saturday night, I was on my home from shopping and driving around with my husband and decided to place a pickup order. We were close to the restaurant, so we knew we had to wait a bit until our order was ready. We got into the parking lot, which was packed and had to park right by the restaurant building while we waited; no problem. Fifteen minutes passed and I got a text that the order was ready. I proceeded inside and went to the bar (pickup bar?). As I got there, I told a server I was there for pickup and told her my name. She told me that my order would be coming out shortly. I waited a few minutes and decided to look at the receipts that were with the orders and did not see my name. There were a few orders that I could not see the name; not even the receipt and I did not want to touch the orders, so I kept waiting. I waited about 16 minutes until another server asked for my name. She looked at the order right in front of me and handed it to me. Ridiculous! The ambiance in the restaurant is very fun, and again, their food is delish, but their pickup process sucks. Sorry, no pictures as I was upset and starving.

Being part of the parking structure doesn't mean that they validate your parking. If you can find street parking, definitely do that instead. I had the churassco med-well. It came with two sides, I had the tostones and salad. It was alright, but I definitely had better. I ordered it to eat it there and they put all the sauces in to-go containers, which was weird. The sauces were in such tiny containers, you definitely would need more. My friend got the mushroom arepa and a side of the sweet plantains that she really enjoyed. Service was good. The girl taking our order was super nice and polite. It was more like one step up from fast/food and self-served. You order at the counter and they give you a number for your table and they bring out the food to the table and you clean up after yourself.

The staff were kind and even helped us pick what to order. The food, although sometimes came out a tad bit overcooked, was still really delicious. Now you might be wondering: "Why is your review so low if the food and service was great?" It's very simple. They have a photographer who goes to every table and asks to take a picture with you. You can deny of course, but if you do accept, just know that they will also throw in AI-generated versions of the photo that they took of you and your guests or family. To some people, this might not matter, but to someone heavily against Generative AI and understands the harm it does to the every-day person, this immediately soured my mood. Do the owners mean any harm by it? Probably not, but I cannot support a restaurant that blatantly used generative AI. Once again, the food, service, and atmosphere are all great! The Generative AI photos they took of me and my family, not so much.

Luckily got one of the last ones. We arrived around 6:45, in time for the tail end of happy hour. Our server Johnny was so bright and chipper, offering helpful suggestions and ensuring what we wanted was available. His constant smile and thoughtful attention really made a positive impact. 10 out of 10 for him. We sat at one of the lower tables, which ended up being a wobbly nuisance, but we stuck it out. The nearby bar area was pretty hopping with a lively crowd. No problem conversing at our proximity though, which was appreciated. For appetizers I preferred the Bavarian Pretzels (yummy beer cheese) over the Thai Crispy Calamari (breading a bit like sawdust). My Truffle Crunch Burger was tasty, but I think the potato chips on it are unnecessary. Adds some crunch yet seemed somewhat stale. Upgraded to the Truffle Fries as my side which cost more, but they were delicious, so worth it. Had a really good time and I'll certainly return in the future.
