El Rincon Caribe

“ I came here today and I ordered the following food: (2) Alcapurrias- one banana and one Yucca (1) Chicken and Cheese empanada (2) small orders of rotisserie chicken with arroz y gandules beans (12) pasteles 6 plantain 6 yucca- frozen t take home with me Mojito sauce and pink sauce Everything was amazing! I did not get to try the yucca pastele yet. I did like the plaintain alcapurria better than the yucca. The chewy texture made me think of my grandma making them for me when I was A kid. Best pasteles...I got the pork ones. Legit amazing! You have got to try this place! It's worth it. It was busy and the girls behind the counter really handled it. These girls deserve to be tipped so don't forget to do it when you sign. I will be back 100 percent many times in the future! They also sell bagged/vacuumed sealed coffee to go. I attached a pic of one of the 4 brands they carry. Also I saw people complain about salt. Puerto Rican food has salt. The food generally has a higher salt content because common additional seasonings such as sazon, adobo, etc also contain salt. I honestly felt my food wasn't salty. The alcapurria I feel that level of Salt is an acquired taste. Anywhere you go Puerto Rican Food has salt. ”

“ Visiting lake harmony, I travel around 1 hr to visit this place, it was showed in yelp and serve Puertorrican food... so we had to go. It was a different place that I use to visit, (not fancy restaurant) but no regrets. First, it surprised me at arrival the smell of food is amazing... I ordered several dishes for me and my family, and sat on the big table ... since everything that we ordered was fresh the wait was ok, that build the excitement and increased the appetite.. at the arrival of the food, the food was hot, you can smell the garlic in the mofongo and the "caldo de pollo" had a great flavor too. La "carne frita" was amazing, crunchy and enough pieces to fill my hunger. el pollo guisado with white rice was well prepared and has a great flavor. Las empanadas de carne also were delicious and crusty, plus the meat was well seasoned too. We drank the official cola champagne and of course Malta India. There was plenty of food that we had to take it with us... . The service was amazing, polite and friendly, you can feel the Boricua hospitality. At the end checking the prices for the amount of people, it was very reasonable. Thanks to both servers and the people on the kitchen that made our day so much happier... we love food and they made that moment very special for us. Thanks. Few pictures to share... ”

“ Our first time and thank you for finding this gem. Everything we ordered was authentic and delicious. We will be back Ben & Becky NYC ”

“ Everything of this place is amazing. The food, the atmosphere, the ambience, the service, it really took me back home to Puerto Rico. This is as close as you're gonna get to authentic Puerto Rican cuisine. I highly recommend everyone to come and eat here you will not regret it, I am a picky eater when it comes to Puerto Rican food and this place blew my mind. Saying it's good is an understatement, it's amazing. Everything is delicious. ”

“ The food and vibe is amazing!!! Service is great!!! Love the atmosphere. It's a small family owned restaurant with amazing food! Definitely would recommend. Can't wait to come back. ”

“ Wow! After reading several wonderful reviews, I decided to visit El Rincon Caribe. The wait staff person was extremely kind and welcoming, and I asked her to surprise me with a dish she thought was worthwhile. In short order, I had an amazing fresh plate of steak and peppers with rice and beans. I am not a steak and peppers fan because the meat has always been a cheap and chewy cut. Not this time. The beef was tender, lean, and delectable. I'm not sure of the seasoning they used, but it was definitely the perfect balance that enriched the flavor of the beef. The rice and beans were equally delicious, thanks to tasty black beans over moist and flawlessly cooked rice. I wanted to put down my fork because I was full, but I couldn't stop. The meal was simply too amazing. Unfortunately, I had no room for their homemade desserts, which included homemade ice cream. When I return next week, I will definitely pounce on one of their after dinner creations! (Great for takeout, they do have a wonderful little dining area in case you'd like to stay a little while longer.) ”

“ Definitely plan on coming back to try more food but their Cuban sandwich is quite good. I believe I detected mayo on it which is something I'm not used to, but I enjoyed it. This is a top 3 Cuban for me between the Poconos and Lehigh Valley areas, so it's a pretty big deal. Check out the video on TikTok! I will update the review when I try more food from there! ”
