Got introduced to this wonderful Cuban restaurant when they were in Queens over 30 years ago. They…read moreclosed that location and now operate out of Huntington and New Hyde Park. Their food, service and hospitality has been always been five star. So when something is so good why change, just expand. We visit the Huntington location quite often. We start with Pina Coladas and Cuba Libre (rum and coke), for appetizers the chorizo and tamales. While there is an assortment of meats, fish and chicken, our favorite is the ropa veija, tender shredded beef in a wonderful sauce with the best steamed white rice and of course madoros. Another hit of ours is the breaded steak and my new favorite, the broiled flounder. Our next dish will be the paella. Just need to call ahead. The Flan, Tres Leches cake and Cuban coffee is always a good ending. The service is always top notch. Red and white table cloths. A bar area with a separate dining area. You may even be lucky to catch a unique celebration song and dance by one of the staff. Make sure you have your camera ready. And a special thank you to Raul. The last time we were there, I tried a new dish that was good, but not something that enjoyed. Don't you know it, Raul surprised me and sent me home with a serving of Ropa Vieja. Thank you Raul.

Also dessert was fair. Overall though the times we were sitting down inside and not takeout. Was enjoyable. I gave 4 stars based on that one time. Take out not great, and expensive. Remember full carafes and you will save lot of money!!

A fantastic Cuban themed restaurant. We've been to their NYC location dozens of times. Here not as…read moremuch, but that will change. The food is really good. Ropa Vieja and the pernil are my go to's and they are on point. Service is also above board. The thing with this place is the experience, between the decor, food and ambience, it always feels so elegant and special. Add a bonus star if you catch the live Cuban music.

Happen to see advertisement outside stating free dinner for Kids with the purchase of an adult…read moreentrée. The good : Overall food was good, we ordered empanadas (shrimp and beef ) they tasted really good with the accompanied chimichurri sauce . We got our boys skirt steaks with fries and my wife and I had to half chickens and pernil respectively . Their mojitos are really good but unfortunately, they didn't have lemonade (soda ) so we ended up paying. $6 each for kid sized house made lemonade which was kinda a waste as my older didn't like it and I didn't want to bother sending it back . The bad: I am taking off a star because we had to wait a long time to get our check. I had asked for the check and a doggy bag, but had to flag my waiter down again to remind him to bring my check. Apparently the kids eat free special has to be approved by a manager . It felt like we waited 15-20 minutes till we got our check , by that time my kids were extremely irritated and my wife was pissed off. I know it's not the waiters fault but the restaurant wasn't that busy and I can't see why they couldn't have gotten this taken care of earlier . Sadly because of this incident, my wife does not want to come back here anymore knowing it takes forever to check out .

Glad that finally visited their new location in Long Island. It may not be the same location…read morevibes we get used in Queens but it has a different Long Island feels. Loving it as finding a parking spot is way easier aside from the fact that it has its own parking lot. Yay to that! When we walked in, sat down and served... I would say it still same Rincon vibes we get used to. Our wait staff even mentioned that they same all people working here both in management and staff. They kept all their original decorations , picture frames, table sets and was nice feeling to see it all here. Food still good, music is pleasant to the ears , service is impeccable. Will come back again. Would even recommend to family and friends living near the area.

This is Cuban food your abuela - and in Annarella's case, her dear Mima - would make for you. (And many of the recipes are hers) Everything on their menu is good. Seriously, you can't go wrong: Mima's daily specials, empanadas, the De Todito Pollo chicken sandwich, Mima's croquetas, the oxtail sandwich, the Cuban sandwich & medianoche, the vaca frita fries (yes, if I lived closer, I'd be even chunkier for sure!) and one of my cravings, the Elena Ruz (a classic Cuban treat of turkey, cream cheese and strawberry jam - it just works!) Important to note: "Asi viene el sandwich meng!" Please don't ask for modifications on anything they make - just trust them and have the true experiencia cubana - they know what they're doing. :) It's a sweet, tiny spot with a cute counter to enjoy your feast. They also have great fruit batidos (shakes) - mango, fruta bomba (papaya) and mamey -- all delicious and made fresh. They'll also make a cafecito for you - all part of the most lovely, authentic Cuban experience you'll ever have for many miles. Dale!

The space is small and cute with a counter to eat and appears to be very clean. The owner (I think the woman is the owner) is super friendly. The food is all reasonably priced and is fantastic. Went with ropa vieja, cuban sandwich, empanada, and the pudding dessert. It's one of those places that after you leave you text ppl in the area telling them they have to come here.

We were greeted by one of the owners who was the bartender for the evening. Once we chose our food, he helped with the wine selection. His knowledge was extensive and impressive. We had a variety of foods. I enjoyed some tapas. Warm olives, some delicious cheese and delectable grilled shrimp. My husband enjoyed the grilled shrimp over polenta. While at the bar we watched how most of the food was prepared on the plancha. The food was paired with wines to balance and elevate the flavors. Looking forward to returning to try one of the delicious looking boards and paella.

Husband and I love coming here for the tapas and wine! Great ambiance and outstanding service…read more Definitely try pork belly bocadillos - fatty pieces of pork definitely pair well with wine. There is parking in the back so don't worry if you can't find parking up front.

La Mesa is so good…read more Located in a small parking lot with an unassuming storefront, La Mesa is exactly what you'd consider a hidden gem. When you walk in you're immediately greeted by a smell of delicious food and a beautiful and quirky interior. They have many drinks and snacks based on the Filipino and El Salvadorian roots of the restaurant! We've had many items off the menu but our favorites are the tocilog, longaniza, garlic rice, and tamal de elote. Portions are large and always fresh. Everyone who works here is also very nice and accommodating. They always substitute garlic rice when requested which I appreciate.

Outdoor seating is heated but again it was 30 degrees outside and looking around there were many open tables inside. We asked if we could wait for an inside table to be available and long story short we were told no. So after driving 45 minutes to come here we decided to stay. We sat outside with all of our winter gear on. Upon finishing eating we exited the restaurant and noticed there were still several open indoor seats available. There were two hosts (the darker one) was very kind, the other one was very nasty and not accommodating. For this reason this will be my first and last time dining here. The waiter was also very kind. I would save yourself the trouble. Not worth the poor treatment and a wasted date night
