Rincon Criollo

"Food was delicious. I was going to try the pork chop but decided to order the rabo encendido instead. The best oxtail I’ve had in a long time. The meat was tender. Very tasty and had the right amount of spices. Definitely going back soon. Atmosphere was great. Friendly staff and service was great. I’ll try the pork chops next time."

"This is my second time coming to Rincon Criollo! If you want to try Cuban food then this place should be your first stop! Their food is very flavorful and filling. The menu isn't overwhelming and there are great choices to choose from! My first time dish were the Oxtails BEST OXTAILS I've ever tasted there was so much flavor with every bite I definitely recommend that dish! My second time dish were the Masas Fritas that's a good dish choice as well! Don't think twice about it go try them out!"

"honestly, they were very colorist.. (i don’t want to say racist & frighten folks away). me & my friend arrived .. instantly eyes were on us but no help was received. the waitress was almost trying to rush us out of the door. the food was very bland & dry. i had the tilapia, rice & red beans.. my friend had the friend pork chunks with mixed rice and beans with vegetables. the meat & fish had no seasoning & was dry. the vegetables were salty. the rice was my favorite part! i even told the waitress i didn’t enjoy my food & she said she couldn’t do anything about it because i waited too late. then continued trying to rush us out by persistently asking if we wanted to go boxes & the check. overall i would give this place a 2/10 because they did also have live music, which i enjoyed!"

"I used to live in Miami for almost 15 years and when I moved to Houston, I looked for a Cuban restaurant, so I found El Rincón Criollo and asked for a Pan Cubano and my wife ordered a Palomilla and both plates were really good. On my next visit I ordered Rabo Encendido and it’s delicious. Parking is ample and free. If you want to test the real Cuban flavor this is a good place to start."
