Puerto Rican restaurant · Michigan-Martin

@eater

"This southwest Detroit Caribbean restaurant serves a trio of sandwiches traditional to Puerto Rico, somewhat of a rarity in metro Detroit. The sandwich menu includes the tripleta (here, pan sobao is filled with steak, chicken, and ham); a breakfast sandwich with ham, egg, and cheese; and a Midwest boricua innovation: the jibarito. The bread-less sandwich with roots in both Chicago and Puerto Rico is held together by flattened, fried green plantains and stuffed with a choice of chicken, beef, or pork, melty cheese, lettuce, and tomato. Rincon Tropical is open for dine-in, takeout, and delivery through DoorDash." - Serena Maria Daniels
