★★★☆☆ 3.0 Dawn Mister · Dec 2025

It was ok. The staff was kind. The chicken was on the dry side but was able to use the beans to help moisten it. The flan was good.

I love this restaurant, but I noticed that the Morir Soñando is made with Tang and milk. Traditionally, it should be made with fresh squeezed oranges ,carnation milk, vanilla, and ice. If they switched to that, I think it would be much closer to the authentic version.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ El Rinconcito – Avenue C, NYC Karrie didn’t just serve us food—she showed real character. We came up a couple of dollars short, and without hesitation or obligation, she stepped in and helped us out. That kind of compassion is rare and unforgettable. Her service was warm, professional, and sincere from start to finish. The entire staff was welcoming, and the food is Absolutely unreal with an amazing Authentic Caribbean dishes bursting with flavor—hands down some of the best you’ll find in New York City. El Rinconcito isn’t just a restaurant; it’s a place with heart. If you want incredible food and people who genuinely care, this is it. Highly recommended. And for this mi familia at El rinconcito this is hands down the number one best Latin cuisine spots to try out ..

Traveled from Germany and wanted to eat some good Traditional Puerto Rico food. Went there with my sister her boyfriend and my Wife. The food was outta of this World. I had arroz con gandules and Pernil, my wife had Pechuga a la parilla with white Rice. When we come to nyc again i will for sure go back there again. Nice place, great people and most of all great Food. Thank you so much for bringing back childhood memories!
