    Honestly I never write reviews but after wasting my time and money on this place I felt like it was necessary.... Came home after a long day at work and went to grab some food just to come home and open it and finding out I was served raw chicken ..... this place needs new management

    Are masks optional in the food prep area?......
    Gabriel R.

    Hit or miss chicken quality... Sometimes just right and sometimes Sahara dry!! And the lines through the drive thru...oh boy!! During these times, shouldn't the people wear masks in the food prep area?

    Wow you guys really made sure I was not getting my protein today.

    So I went to the drive through ordered a 1/4 chicken mojo pork duo. They forgot my lemonade so I had to make a u turn and get my drink. Came home opened it up to a box with only my chicken no pork these idiots in the pollo tropical on 88th have been incompetent for years filled with complaints and bad service. Y'all need to shape the F**K up in there cause management is clearly eating S**T

    Good customer service, only thing that could be improved is offering more chicken on actual tropichop I feel like they put very little and fill it up with rice and beans mainly. Prices are in the middle range. A meal would probably be $7-13 with taxes. They do offer $2 mojitos and white claw cans for I believe it was $2.75 each.

    This place doesn't even deserve one star. Has anyone else noticed how gross and filthy the food line is. I can't believe that the food is prepared in such dirty environment. Unacceptable. There are too many employees walking around in circles lost in space, unorganized, no coordination, bad attitude. These employees are handling food with the same gloves they are handing the garbage. Disgusting and unacceptable. After ordering the food, I couldn't eat it. Will never visit this location again. I hope an inspector walks in and sees this mess soon before somebody gets sick.

    If I could give no stars I would. This place use to be way better, no it sucks. They barely give in anything you order. The service has no hospitality. All the workers no exception are awful. I will never come again.

On the outside it's a little unassuming even though the plaza itself is nice, but the decor inside was elegant. Our server was really friendly. Unfortunately, she di forget to bring into our appetizer. But we even forgot until after we were eating dinner so we didn't say anything (and it turns out it wasn't on the check either). We went at around 8:30 pm on a Friday night and there were only a few other tables, it they're open until 3am so we assume it is more of a late night spot. We both thought the food was incredible though. I had salmon (which was cooked to perfection) and cilantro rice. I ordered vegetables (zucchini, tomatoes, and broccolini) which were also surprisingly tasty. My husband had the mofongo. It was just different from the typical Puerto Rican mofongo in that didn't come with sauce other than some garlic sauce, but the taste was still great. He also liked the chicken that came with it. We will def be returning here in the future!

    I live fairly close to El Rinconcito and I've only visited this place about 3 times. My family…read moreusually 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.

    When we walked inside, we were immediately seated and we were probably inside the restaurant for…read moreless 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.

Although our server was phenomenal, we did tip our server an additional in cash just because of her great service. We highly recommend the place! Enjoy!
