Simple place with a big heart and delicious (cheap) eats.
The staff go out of their way to make you feel a part of the family from the moment you step through the door. With warm food prepared as well as cook to order available, Rincon Criollo was booming with to-go orders and families eating in on a Saturday afternoon. Blasting spanish christmas music and even featuring some dancing wait staff -- Adorable! RC - you had me at hello! (yup. we're on a first name basis).
The shrimp mofongo was prepared in a lemon garlic sauce and wasn't overly crispy. The flavors were perfectly blended, tostones massive and delicious with the garlic sauce and mayo-ketchup. Who can beat this warm comforting atmosphere (gotta love the friendly latino culture), perfectly seasoned food, large portions, and a menu with nothing more than $15? Plus - A quick lesson on Cleveland in the 1950's was a geeky bonus for me.
