"In one of El Rincon Asturiano’s four small dining rooms, there’s a chair with the words “Pedro Almodovar” scribbled on the back, next to one that says “Lorca.” But you don’t have to be a famous Spaniard to eat here. You just have to love traditional Spanish tapas like gambas al ajillo, chorizo a la sidra, or huevos estrellados. El Rincon Asturiano does that better than anyone else in Miami. There's nothing new or flashy about this Little Havana spot. It's probably where your friend’s Ciudadrealeño dad hangs out to drink Albariño and split a big bowl of almejas con jamon with his friends. He’s most likely been coming here since it opened in 1995 and hopes to one day have a chair with his name on it." - virginia otazo, mariana trabanino, ryan pfeffer
"El Rincón Asturiano is another Spanish restaurant we love. Whereas Casa Juancho is very much a Calle Ocho restaurant with a penchant for panache, El Rincón is more subdued and on a much quieter corner. It's our favorite place in Miami for traditional Spanish tapas, like gambas al ajillo, chorizo a la sidra, and huevos estrellados. There's nothing flashy about this spot. It's probably where your friend’s Ciudadrealeño dad hangs out to drink albariño and split a big bowl of almejas con jamon with friends. Hopefully, he’s taught you how to sink the shells deep into the bowl so they catch as much serrano and creamy wine sauce as possible." - ryan pfeffer, virginia otazo

We like sinking the shells deep into the bowl so they catch as much serrano and creamy wine sauce as possible. Don’t let any of that sauce go to waste either—sponge it up with the bread they give you. video credit: Virginia Otazo Croquetas De Jamon Don Quixote should have eaten more of these instead of reading stupid romance novels. The crispy shells barely hold together a creamy center filled with chunks of jamon. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Garbanzos Fritos Con Jamon These legumes are fried with chunks of jamon and chorizo. It's a heavy, smoky dish, but surprisingly not very greasy—which is so often the unfortunate case with garbanzos fritos. video credit: Virginia Otazo Chorizo A La Sidra El Rincon Asturiano excels at anything that has to do with pigs. And this chorizo cooked in cider is the kind of dish that shuts an entire table up and is gone in seconds. photo credit: Cleveland Jennings / @eatthecanvasllc Cachopo Asturiano Cachopo is to Asturias what turducken is to the US. This is not an entree you eat on your own. It’s veal wrapped in jamon serrano stuffed with creamy cheese that’s then breaded and fried until crunchy. It’s super salty and heavy, so order a crispy beer to wash it down." - Virginia Otazo
