I wasn’t a fan of the food. I had the empanada de carne. The dough was good but they gave little meat and the meat did not taste good. Im sorry. The pollo guisado was ok, need more flavor in the chicken. The alcapura de yuca was a no. The arroz con guandules was mushy, to much water.
The atmosphere was nice and the service was good but the food could’ve been better.

Visited on 11/16/2024:

1. The woman with the tattooed eyebrows who was serving food was friendly and spoke Spanish to the man ahead of me. However, when she saw me, her demeanor completely changed. I spoke to her in Spanish, but she responded in English, appearing annoyed and blunt. I placed my order, which came to a surprising $17.50.

2. I ordered 2 chicken, 1 beef, and 1 cheese empanada, along with 2 Welch’s juices, and again, the total was $17.50. I found this price a bit steep, but I didn’t want to cause a scene. Afterward, I called the restaurant and placed the same order in fluent Spanish to test if the price would be the same. To my surprise, it was $4 less.

3. I've noticed several reviews mentioning a rude and unfriendly woman, and if it’s the same person I encountered, I believe El Rincon could improve in this area. Customer service plays a big role in the overall experience, and this kind of attitude can affect repeat business, specially from a literal neighbor like myself.

The new Remodeled Restaurant is nice.
The frituras are not good. Too Greasy. They need a new method for cooking them. They look like burnt Empanadas.
