    I had this place on my list for some time. Wish I would have come sooner. It was excellent! We had a reservation and arrived in time but all tables were still occupied so we sat at the bar instead of waiting a few minutes. The place is not very big so it's quite cozy for seating. Our server was great in helping us through the menu. It's all tapa small plates so knowing which were the favs, how many typically are ordered person, etc was helpful. I won't remember the names of the 4 plates we chose but they were all excellent. One had asparagus and mushrooms, one was kabobs, one was prawns, and one was fish. The textures and flavors worked excellently for each plate. Four plates for the two of us was a good amount. We finished with a crème brûlée type dessert which was light and delicious. Street parking is available. We loved our experience. Can't wait to go back.

    Food was really good and fresh! Everything came out super quick and service was super friendly and helpful (we sat at the bar). Paella was good but was all one texture and felt a little one dimensional; good flavor though. Ambiance was cute and intimate with a warm atmosphere. Lots of available street parking as well for a Saturday night.

    The food and service are great. I look forward to returning. The ambiance is very cool. Nice quiet, comfortable spot. We just had small plates that we shared. Everything was delicious, just a little expensive for me

    This restaurant is amazing. The food was delicious and very well presented. Our server was also excellent and gave great recommendations. Definitely a place you have to check out.

    This place is a true gem, on the smaller side but quaint! It feels like going to a friend's house because everyone is so friendly, yet unobtrusive. The food was fantastic. My husband had missed lunch so we tried a few tapas and dessert :). The wine selection is solid and I loved what our waiter recommended. Easy place to go back again and again to try all the things!

    Always an amazing meal - the flavors, the variety of tapas, the service, the ambiance. Always top notch.

    I went here with my wife for our anniversary. We were married in Spain so we were hoping to re-live the memory through taste. We ordered the Calamares, Paella Sevillana, Albondigas, Patatas Bravas, and Pasta Negra, along with a bottle of wine. Rinćon 38 did not disappoint! The food was great. Service was excellent, and we loved the overall look and feel of the restaurant. It was definitely the closest we've felt to Spain in Minnesota. It was a little pricey, but definitely worth it for a special occasion or if you're really craving authentic tapas. We'll definitely be making this our go-to for future anniversary dinners!

    Patatas Bravas

    Love this neighborhood gem in South Minneapolis Recently stopped by when in the area for happy hour and it is so nice to see that some things and faces never change! Ordered a few tapas favorites such as the stuffed Piquillo peppers and the Albondigas (meatballs in a saffron tomato broth) and the Plato Iberico - the Spanish charcuterie plate 2 glasses of their house Chardonnay for $12 is a steal these days! Service is fast efficient and friendly familiar faces! Ambiance is as close to being back on vacation in Spain,cute,quaint and Spanish guitar music transports me back to Seville Free parking on the street Check this place out! Wish I lived closer I would prob stop by once a week!!

    Albondigas

    Second time dining at Rincon 38 for New Years Eve. Had reservation, as small intimate venue. Service by Fernando was impeccable, timed/spaced tapas perfective, attentive without being disruptive. Provided helpful wine recommendation. Had 6 tapas & 2 desserts. My favorite, Piquillos. The scallops, Vieras, were flavorful & very tender. Experience was amazing.

    Incredible food, attentive staff, and cozy atmosphere. A perfect place for a date or to celebrate a special occasion. Every dish was flavorful and filling, we had a group of 7 people and we each ordered two plates and felt full at the end of the meal! My favorites were the meatballs and the beet salad. Will definitely be back again to try more! There is street parking and the inside is not too large so make sure to get a reservation if you're going with a group!

    If this is your first time trying tapas... just remember you don't need to order all your tapas at once. Savoring your tapas is all part of the quintessential dining experience. The food is absolutely amazing - everything we tasted melted in other mouths. We highly recommend the Malaga, Pasta Negro, and Toledo. Definitely a go-to place for date night or with a small group. Waiters are very attentive, and super nice atmosphere.

    Toledo
    Shell J.

    If you love tapas and live in Minneapolis, Rincón 38 is definitely worth trying. Food are exceptionally delicious. The Toledo, vieras, pasta negra and the Carne brava we randomly picked have satisfied both our eyes and mouth. Anything we saw on the tables next to us are different and awesome. The house sangria isn't too sweet, which is great, and highly recommended. Services and ambiance are on par with the food. It might not be best fit for large group dinner, but definitely a place I would save for the near and dear.

    Lovely display of wines

    - The space is cute, casual, and quaint. - There is free street parking available in the area. -The service was friendly and fast. - I like that instead of getting a full glass of wine, you can order a tasting (for $5.50). Great for those who don't want to drink much or sample several varieties. - Potato and Chorizo Empanadas were delicious. Light on the meat, but full of flavor. - Texture of the calamari seemed different. Like it was too tender... or perhaps I'm just used to the rings (which their's is not). Overall lovely experience. My one "wish" would be if they could add purse hooks under the bar for the convenience of those seated there.

The tartare had so much flavor to it. It had a nice mussel aoilo that really brought it together. The crudo was great as well. Had a little spice to it but felt fresh to eat. Entree: we ordered the double cheeseburger and Poutine. Have no words to describe how amazing it was and I've tried burgers all over the twin cities. The patty was cooked medium/medium rare, with carmelized onions, pickles and mustard aioli. Every bite was so delicious and flavorful, how a burger should be. The poutine was also amazing! The cheese, gnocchi and ox tail was such a wonderful and unique combo. Dessert: we ordered the dark chocolate mousse cake. It was topped with whip cream and had a piece of chocolate on top. It was amazing! Chocolate wasn't too overly powering and the whip cream balanced it out. The service was great! Checked in how we were doing and asked if there was anything needed. We were seated at the bar, which was a little spacious, but could be cramped if there are others around. The ambience there was good! It is dim but still has enough light to look at the menu. Parking can be tough as well, but honestly the food makes up for it! I would highly recommend GusGus to anyone!

They have it right on their website that parking can be tricky, be prepared to walk. The inside has bar seating and the restaurant may be small but is overall bigger than expected. It's elevated without giving people in jeans the side eye. We started with aperol flavored Jell-O shots. They were certainly Aperol flavored and probably the highest class Jell-O shot I've ever taken in my life. I had the spritz on special which was dill based and I was in love. I could have had 17 of them, been rolled home and been in absolute bliss. I also ordered the spritz salato and it was an equally as delicious savory cocktail. For dinner we shared the chips with speck (3.5/5). The chips were a little oily, but I'm a sucker for anything with prosciutto and crème fresh. I had the beef tartar as my main. The bread slices are pretty big. It comes with two pieces and regardless of if you are going to share or not I found myself having to cut the bread into smaller pieces. The chips worked out well as a vessel for the tartar too. Everyone else for the burger and after a singular bit I understood the hype. It has to be a top 5 burger ever. I'm still thinking about the burger and it wasn't even my entree. I'll certainly be back!

Then go to the right again to enter Reveal. Food here is fairly basic and the pizza is average. But good to snack on something while having drinks. The place does have one of the best bourbon menus I have seen in the cities and Brian is a friendly bartender. Please do be patient as the service is a bit slow as it seems Brian is the only one working some days for the whole roof top. So sit back relax and enjoy the slightly distant city views.

One thing to note is that the staff is very strict about your entire party being there before you can be seated or order, so definitely keep that in mind if you're coming with a group!

I wasn't overly impressed with either dish, but I did enjoy the flavors of the sandwich. I was also under the impression that they offered a lunch menu, but it looks like they only serve brunch on the weekends, which was a little disappointing since I was hoping to try some of their lunch options. Overall, it was a cute spot with a great patio, but the food and experience didn't totally win me over this time.

When we walked in, the first thing we noticed was that several tables needed to be cleaned. Seating was limited because many of the empty tables still had dishes and trays on them. We ordered at the register, and I got the pastor specialty tacos with a jamaica. The cashier asked if I was sure about the jamaica because she said theirs is a bit sour, and she even offered me a small sample first. I thought that was thoughtful customer service. After tasting it, I still wanted it, it didn't taste sour to me at all. It just wasn't as sweet as the jamaica I'm used to, and I actually enjoyed it. The hint of ginger was a nice surprise and something I'd never had before. The tacos were good, maybe not the best I've ever had, but definitely solid. I loved that the tortillas were handmade, and adding some of the table chili gave them the extra kick I was looking for. Before we left, we noticed another couple clearing off a table themselves because there wasn't a clean place to sit. If I could offer one suggestion, it would be to stay on top of cleaning the dining area. Customers shouldn't have to wipe down or clear tables before enjoying their meal. It may have just been an unusually busy day or they may have been short-staffed. Overall, there were definitely things I enjoyed, and I'd be willing to give them another try. Hopefully next time the dining area is a little cleaner because I think that would make the overall experience much better.

It was truly a neighborhood gem that satisfied my taste buds. My favorite dishes were the quesabirria platter, the honey macha wings, and a few of the street tacos, specifically the pork carnitas and the pork al pastor, because both were pretty juicy. One major advantage this establishment had was the kinds of sauces they had, because innovatively, they had some chili oil hot sauce that I enjoyed putting on my street tacos, even if it wasn't the most common combination. The carne asada steak street tacos had their own sauce called "salsa real" which was pretty tasty. All of those dishes had good flavor and were juicy. Other than those, some of the street tacos relied on the sauces for juiciness, and the meat themselves were a bit dry (carne asada, for example). The pork al pastor gourmet tacos were a bit dry as well, and relied on the sauce on the side for flavor. The churros were a bit hard, and because of such, I couldn't really use them to pick up the chocolate sauces. The tres leches cake lacked some sweetness, but was on point in terms of consistency. There are still some dishes on the menu that look appealing, so I am certain that I will be back, especially since I live very close to this restaurant. I also want to mention that it has always been a great experience ordering food with the server at the counter. She was very nice!
