Rincon Cubano

Great prices, good tasting food and friendly staff. I had the plantain stuffed with Ropa Vieja which is shredded beef inside of smash plantains.

The family Cuban crawl extravaganza headed south with some VIP guest crawlers this past week. Rincon Cubano is an out of the way spot we would have never found on our own but thanks to the power of social media we landed here. Trying a variety of items including their Cuban coffee, both regular fried plantain and sweet plantains, regular and hand cut fries and a pair of Cubans provided our palettes quite an expensive sampling of the diverse menu. Service was attentive & friendly, food cook times were a little on the slow side, however it came out hot and tasted very good. Portion size on the fresh cut fries for the price felt a little skimpy, but a everything else was appropriate. Great little spot, we’d come back. ???????? ????????

In one MAIN staple of the cuisine, the Cuban sandwich, it is a fail, especially because they charge for EXTRA meat. (Seems like others got defrauded, too.) Here is what I got: • a SLIVER of pork • a single but folded slice of ham • missing Swiss • a tissue-thin sliver of pickles —all leaving a lot of bread with no fixings. The prep. of the Cuban has long been inconsistent and is not at all worth $11.45+ for the “extras.” I mean, a Cuban spot with a meager Cuban sandwich is disappointing. At the very least, charge 50% less because that’s what it’s worth at best. One area of kudos is: they do have a couple of great servers. Overall, it pretty good place for authentic Cuban food because they DO serve a number of delish main dishes, including breakfast —even though it IS on the pricey side for what they offer.
