Rincon Criollo New Hyde Park

Always a great experience! I've been supporting this family-owned gem since their very first location in Corona, Queens (now closed), then followed them to Huntington Station, and now to this third spot. Siblings Rudy and Esther are owners and they treat you family. The food always tastes like there's a Cuban grandmother in the kitchen working her magic--flavorful, comforting, and made with love. The service is attentive, drinks are solid and the rustic Cuban decor adds to the charm (bonus: chairs are actually comfy!) I have to make my way there for lunch because I heard they have an amazing lunch special. So glad to see them thriving and growing! Ps. Shredded and then fried yucca with avocado dipping sauce is a new app and a must try!

Great restaurant to celebrate birthday. My birthday friend and we were having great time. Food and service were great. We had smoked pork chop, Cuban sandwich, beef ....flan, coffee. Erick and another lady server were very attentive.

On a Hot July Sunday afternoon, my friend, Joe, asked to go to Rincon Criollo. I like Cuban food so I said yes. When you drive up to this authentic restaurant, it has a classic Cuban look. Inside is very comfortable. It is not noisy. Floors are wooden and the decoration takes you back to Havana. The menu is very simple. We had two appetizers. The Tostones with shredded flank steak was amazing and the Spanish Sausage was equally good. The flavors reflected Cuba so well. We had the grilled chicken with onions. My friend had grilled Liver. Both were done perfectly. The rice and black beans were so good. The portions were more than you could eat. The dessert menu was so inviting. I wanted one of everything. The caramel flan was so rich and delicious. That with an expresso and

Huge shoutout to Luigi for providing the best service ever!! Good service is one of the top reasons we will be back. I had gone to their Corona location before they closed and loved it. Since we were in the area, I suggested to my husband we should grab Cuban and boy was it a great idea. We started off with the Cuban sandwich followed by Bistec Empanizado y filete de pescado de rincón criollo. First bite into the Cuban sandwich… we were in love! The cheese pulled like the commercials you see and there just something about the bread that makes you crave more with each bite. 10/10! Bistec Empanizado.. crispy, oh so crispy yet not oily at all!! We loved how tender the meat is. Filete de Peacado.. cod drenched in butter. How could we not love this one?? Meat was so fresh and tender that yo

Went to Rincon Criollo for my son's birthday. I've been there before for a large birthday party. Please take into account the large party was about 40 people and the service was very good. I enjoyed this time more because it was only a table of 5 and the service was even better. The croquettes were excellent and the Vaca Frita with maduros was also excellent. Oh, I forgot...the Mojito was sooooo good. Muddled lime and mint for sure. And of course, we embarrassed our adult son with a very festive birthday celebration with the staff...bingo and thank you! Overall, a great meal and good time was had by all. Highly recommended. Muchas gracias!!
