Final Review -…read more (English + Español) English: The owner personally called to apologize for his employee's behavior, and I truly appreciate that. He handled it professionally and showed that he genuinely cares about his customers. The food is good, and almost everyone else who works here has always been kind to me. However, I'm keeping this review up because once I go back to the restaurant, I do expect a personal apology from Sophia. The way she treated me was terrible, and normally I don't post a negative review after one bad visit -- but the fact that my sister also had an issue with her before is concerning. On October 19th around 10 PM, I ordered takeout and paid at the counter. After I paid, Sophia saw that I didn't tip on the card (I usually leave cash when I leave), and her attitude completely changed. She claimed she gave me six hot sauces when there were only two, rolled her eyes when I asked politely for more, and said, "Empanadas don't come with hot sauce." When I explained I've been coming here for years, she said, "I don't speak English." I also noticed an old receipt showing an 18% gratuity, so I asked if it was added again that night. They double-checked and confirmed it had been removed -- so I suggest customers always review their ticket just in case. After I shared my experience, Sophia called me around midnight and even threatened to sue me instead of apologizing. I later saw several new reviews within a few hours all mentioning how "nice Sophia" is, which feels suspicious. I don't want to assume, but it really seems like a cover-up. I removed her photo out of respect, but I'm leaving this up because she still hasn't apologized -- the owner had to. The food and most of the staff are great, but I hope this situation reminds management that every customer deserves respect. Español: El dueño me llamó personalmente para disculparse por el comportamiento de su empleada, y de verdad lo aprecio. Él fue muy profesional y se nota que realmente le importan sus clientes. La comida es buena, y casi todos los empleados siempre han sido amables conmigo. Sin embargo, mantengo esta reseña porque cuando regrese al restaurante, espero una disculpa personal de Sophia. La forma en que me trató fue terrible, y normalmente no dejo una reseña negativa por una sola visita mala, pero el hecho de que mi hermana también haya tenido un problema con ella es preocupante. El 19 de octubre alrededor de las 10 PM, pedí comida para llevar y pagué en el mostrador. Después de pagar, Sophia vio que no dejé propina en la tarjeta (normalmente dejo efectivo al salir) y su actitud cambió por completo. Dijo que me había puesto seis salsas picantes cuando solo había dos, puso los ojos en blanco cuando le pedí más de manera educada y me dijo: "Las empanadas no vienen con salsa." Cuando le expliqué que llevo años viniendo aquí, me respondió: "No hablo inglés." También noté un recibo viejo que mostraba un 18 % de propina incluida, así que pregunté si me la habían cobrado esa noche. Revisaron y confirmaron que la habían quitado -- por eso recomiendo siempre revisar su recibo. Después de publicar mi experiencia, Sophia me llamó cerca de la medianoche y hasta me amenazó con demandarme, en lugar de disculparse. Luego vi varias reseñas nuevas, todas publicadas en pocas horas y mencionando lo "amable" que es Sophia, lo cual me parece sospechoso. No quiero asumir nada, pero parece un intento de encubrir lo sucedido. Quité su foto por respeto, pero dejo esta reseña porque ella aún no se ha disculpado -- el dueño fue quien tuvo que hacerlo. La comida y la mayoría del personal son excelentes, pero ojalá esta situación sirva de recordatorio de que todos los clientes merecen respeto.

Came here on a friday evening around 6pm for dinner. We had an event in the area and figured to…read morestop by. I saw this place on ig. Our server was very nice but the food took 52 min to arrive. I ordered salmon with rice and beans, guacamole, tostones, and yuca. The guacamole took 40 min alone to come out. We just had to wrap up our food to go and couldnt even sit and enjoy or we would of missed our event. I would not drive 40 min to come here again.

I decided to give this place a try after seeing a TikToker's review. When we got there, my husband…read morementioned that the food didn't quite look the same as what was shown in the videos, and I have to agree. However, the flavors were definitely there, which is what matters most. I tried the alcapurria, and while it was decent, I've had better. The chicken inside was a little dry and could have used more seasoning and flavor. On the other hand, the chicken empanada was really good. The chicken was tender, flavorful, and had a nice seasoned taste that stood out. That's definitely something I would order again. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of my lunch, but I also ordered pernil with rice and gandules, as well as baked chicken with rice and gandules. As someone who loves pernil, I have to say that Puerto Ricans make some of the best pernil. It's always well-seasoned, flavorful, and tastes clean rather than overly greasy. The pernil here did not disappoint. The rice and gandules were also very good. While it doesn't quite compare to my husband's aunt's homemade version, it was still packed with flavor and complemented the meal perfectly. Overall, I enjoyed my experience and would come back to try more items from the menu. If you're in the area and craving Puerto Rican food, I think it's worth giving this place a try.

Love this place!! Great service! Amazing delicious home made food!…read more I read about this on IG. I decided I must go that same day. Easy to find and not far from my house. The first time I ate there. It felt as I walked in to a relatives house. The ladies behind the counter were eager to take my order. I got Yellow rice, pernil, yuca, stewed chicken, pastels de plantano, beef empanada and a coco loco. I was in my glory. As much as I tried I couldn't finish it all. I took the leftovers home. I returned the next day after for more. 2 days later I returned again. Week later I returned again. The menu changes I wanted to make sure I didn't miss anything . The finest Home cooked meal I ever had in a long time. Definitely recommend it!!

After a long day of running errands + knowing we would get home late, we definitely were going to…read morebe in no mood to cook anything. I found Rinconcito Latino, which would be along the route home, so we ordered via Seamless for pickup, one Saturday evening. The quoted pickup time was 10-20 minutes but I still had to wait an additional 10 minutes after that. But no big deal, it was prime time on a Saturday night, after all. To start, hubby and I split a chorizo empanada. I enjoyed this but feel like it could have been served with some kind of sauce. We ended up making our own chipotle mayo sauce to go with it, which paired perfectly. For my main, I had the Jibarito Sandwich (instead of bread, it's a sandwich with two pieces of plantains with your choice of meat in the middle with lettuce, tomato, onion and house signature sauce). I went with the al pastor since it's not something I can easily make at home. The meat itself was more like sliced pork chop than it was al pastor. It was a little bit dry but the flavor was good. Overall, I enjoyed my sandwich. The plantains were a nice update from regular bread. The sandwich was also served with fries, which were soaked with oil but I ate them anyway. He had the Fried Pork Chunks, which comes with rice and beans, which was pretty good. But, I do wish there was an option of yellow rice rather than just white rice - but not a deal breaker. The portions are pretty big, and we had enough leftover for lunch the next day. If you're craving Latin food and find yourself in the area, Rinconcito Latino is a great option.

Now I realize just like the last time, I got last nights leftovers heated up. I have never been served white rice that was this mushy and WET, totally inedible, and disgusting!

Again, not my first time but definitely my LAST!!

There was one man waiting for his order. 1st red flag. The place was dark and dingy looking, 2nd red flag. We ordered real basic 1/2 rotisserie chicken with rice and peas, my husband ordered 1/2 chicken with yellow rice and red beans. The chicken was so hard and dry that I almost choked swallowing it! It had no taste and neither did the beans and rice. They were dry as well, rice was overly sticky, nothing 'traditional' about the food. I may not be latino but I have eaten enough Latin dishes to know what's traditional and what's not, and this place IS NOT. Don't bother going here if you want, at the least, good tasting, authentic Dominican food that is prepared well!

The portions are huge and I would usually split it up to two with empanadas. Home made lemonade pairs well with it, yes it's homemade I saw them squeezing lemon juice out of the lemon !
