Rincón Criollo

I realllllyyyy wanted alcapurrrias. Being raised on the island my expectations were low because I knew not to hope too high. But thissssss. This was barely an effort. 2 dollars a piece the yuck was harrd!! No flavor and tiny! Atleast be bad but the correct size. The alcapurrias de guineo had more flavor but the greaseseee was insane.

They sell crab meat empanadas i had 2 of them The taste was delicious also delicious was the alcapurrias de Yuca hell i even bought pasteles de Yuca awesome spot to indulge in good food

Small hidden gem! Absolutely, delicious Puerto rican food!

This is an amazing restaurant. Always Fresh Homemade cooking Local Puerto Rican flavors. FEELS Like you right on the Garden Isle. Dont worry will go again. Thank you Liz

Are you nuts, the best Puerto Rican 🇵🇷 restaurant in Paterson. They have been there for many, many years. It's a family owned. They are so lovely n respectful to everyone. If you haven't ever been you have to go and try for yourself. On holidays like Christmas and New Years the pasteles are freshly made the are bomb delicious 😋.

Home made food just peaceful environment inside restaurant. Food was good can tell was cooked from the heart.

I thought the food was going to be great. Sorry to say it was not. The corn beef looked like soup and it tested bad. The pork chop was hard and old. For it to be my first time there it was a shock. I remember my mom's corn beef with fried French fries in the thick juice corn beef that's what i was expecting please correct the problem for next new customer

The service from beginning to end was outstanding. Waiters are all wearing matching clothes and I did not have to ask for water and bread to be brought to the table. Our waiter made a recommendation that was exactly what I needed. I ordered the pork chops....the dinner portion is huge...one white piece and one dark piece of meat. The yuca was superb....very flavorful. The roasted and fried chicken are outstanding, and the codfish fritters reminded me of my grandmothers recipe. It is a small restaurant, but accommodating. The bathrooms are clean. The more is parking on Junction Blvd after 7 pm not the neighborhoods.

Home cooking at its best. Family run business done right. Empanadas are one of my favorites. Highly recommend if you're in the mood for Spanish cooking. Liz is very pleasant with the customers.

I have been a loyal customer to this place for almost for as long as I can remember. Food is always great and the staff treats you like family
