From the bright lights of the strip and fancy schmanzy restaurants and bar, this place is the complete opposite!! I first encountered this place in 2002 with by boyfriend. Always in search of the most authentic cuban food we can find, we found this gem while searching for the Floridita restaurant (which by the way...so boring for your fabulous tastebuds).
From the moment you walk in to this not so luxurious storefront, the aroma of black beans and other fantastic foods hits you like a brick wall and you think - can this place really smell this good? I hope the food tastes as good as it smells. AND IT DOES. I have been loyal fan to this restaurant for years and everytime I am in Vegas (3-4 times a year) I have lunch or dinner with Mama. That is the lady always watching futbol on the tv or watching the novelas. When she is cookiing your food, you know that it is good.
The prices are beyond reasonable and the service is great. They are always ready to please and soooo nice. I have yet to find a cuban restaurant in L.A. that lives up to the standard of Rincon Criollo. Try their puerco frito and just bask in the flavor. It is not overcooked and it is seasoned to perfection. So, if you re in vegas and want to try some authentic cuban food, don't be afraid to walk in to this place and enjoy a truly delicious cuban cuisine without the fanfare.
