The food and service is always good. Authentic Puerto Rician food. The seafood taste like it just came out the ocean. Seasoned to perfection!👏🏾💯 Did I mention the passion fruit margarita was the bomb!!!👍🏾😎💯

My husband said the alcapurria was one of the best he had so far. The seafood salad was excellent too. I had yuca “mofongo” with shrimp “a la criolla” and it was delicious too. I definitely recommend it!
i had family down from Connecticut, there were nine of us. The food was amazing, unfortunately the service wasn't - no fault of the employees. There was one bartender, one waitress and the cook. our waitress was so busy she never checked to see if we wanted refills or additional beverages. I went to the bar for additional beverages. The mofongo my mom ordered never came out and was given white rice instead. Several of the menu dishes were unavailable due the food delivery truck hadn't arrived for replenishment. Additional wait staff and souse chef would be a great addition to the restaurant and would make for a more pleasurable dining experience. The wait staff was very accommodating and pleasant. I will absolutely return. Kudos to the cook because the food was so delicious.
The food the service the atmosphere. Been DJing here for 3 years and it's never disappointed. If you've had a bad experience I apologize for any inconvenience but 99% of the time this place is spot on.
A great place for awesome PR food! food and drinks are superb! Try the mojitos, yuca al ajillo, pork, plantains, etc..
Friendly staff and great service. Food delicious and prices are reasonable. Ownership is great as well. Family spot and great party spot on Friday and Saturday nights!!!!!!
Great Place to go out Dancing.. Went with friends for the first time On Friday June 29th 2017 all the way from Newport News Virginia. And let me tell you. The Dj was on Point with the music. And the food exquiset. Great experience. Nice and melo. A very mature crowd. Loved it.. Plan on going again.. ������
The place has the best authentic Puerto Rican food you ever want to have. The ambience is great too! They play great salsa music! Service is great too!!
Food was amazing!!!! Waitress was awesome... food took a while but was well worth it!
Food was excellent, the service was pretty good. I just didn’t like how much I waited for the food, because it took an hour from when I ordered to get it.
Anyway, it was totally delicious just don’t go if you’re already starving and want to eat right away.
First time here and 5 stars hands down.
Like my Abuela’s cooking so good , everything along with presentation and portions were on point. Definitely a gem in Virginia Beach.
I didn't expect to give 5 stars when I walked into this place. It is kind of hidden near the back side of a shopping area. It's had a simple, contemporary atmosphere with nice paintings and clean bathrooms. The food was just amazing though. The papa rellena was as big as a softball; perfectly lightly fried and crispy exterior with soft and flavorful potatoes and beef inside. The mofongo flight was 3 (not small) piles of perfectly prepared mofongo, topped with pernil, bistec encebollado, and shrimp a la criolla. All three had an amazing sauce that covered the mofongo to add to it's flavor. I particularly loved the shrimp a la criolla. Some prices lean toward the high side, but there are affordable options. It is worth every penny. I will be returning here.
10/10 recommend. The food was amazing, this is not your typical fake review you see on most sites. I’ve been to plenty of restaurants in here in Virginia and nothing compares. Im used to the Hispanic culture and cuisine as I’m a Florida native and have eaten at numerous restaurants in Miami, Orlando, Tampa. This place is just like eating back at home and my mother’s cooking. Can’t express enough how good the food is, just need to try it for yourself!
Lunch platter specials for ~$13. The Caribbean stewed chicken was fabulous. Fried plantains yummy. Bar and table seating. Nice, well kept place.
Incredible food and great service. Prices are very reasonable and the portions are good. I can’t get enough of the sweet fried plantains!!!
Chicharrons were amazing. It was fresh and hot and had the amazing crunch you are searching for. The meat was juicy and flavorful. They churros were also fresh and hot and drizzled with caramel. We loved the food we had. The only down side is the decor but the food is amazing enough to go!!
Tasty Puerto Rican food. Staff is friendly and helpful. It’s definitely not somewhere to go if you’re in a rush, but the food tastes like it’s made with love.
The food is really good with the right flavor
Great food, Good Customer Service, we love the decoration, excellent food and tasty, good portion, and nice presentation, even I met the chef to congratulate him for the flavoring and the presentation and he was very humble and very nice, but I believe that is kind of pricy. $90. for 2 people I felt that I was back in Hawaii. I've been a chef for over 10 years and I highly recommend it, just watch for the price.
Jose & El Rincon Tropical was the BOMB 💣 💣💣for our long overdue FAMILY REUNION in July that we held in Va Beach!! Their prices are reasonable and the food is delicious!! You get great value for the money! We catered them for our banquet at Springhill Suites Oceanfront. Our family raved over the food and had enough to take home for individual leftovers. Jose came through for us in a clutch as our original caterer backed out at the last minute. We love you, highly recommend you!! Thank you! The Thomas Family!! 💗💗💗
The entire place has an awesome vibe and the staff make you feel so welcomed 👌🏻 The food there is absolutely delicious 💯 When family comes to visit from all over the country…we always get lots of wonderful food from El Rincon Tropical ♥️💝🙏🏻👍🏻
First time going there, and I order my plate to go. The food was freshly made, and it tasted delicious. The price was reasonable, and customer service was friendly. I will definitely go back for a visit again with family & friends.
The snapper fish 🐠 is delicious 😋 and everything is so delicious 😋 I love ❤️ the atmosphere and service!!
I reserved a table for 7 people for dinner to celebrate my son's birthday, and we had a great time. The food, the music, and the atmosphere were light ✨️
I have been coming to El Rincon for years... but moved away and do not get to enjoy it as often. I was in town visiting and came in and got the Jibarito Sandwich with a small order of monfongo and it was absolutely AMAZING! The entire experience was above and beyond wonderful as it always has been. The service was beyond exceptional and the food was as well! Jose and his staff always make me feel so welcome-- I highly recommend making a stop to see them and enjoying their authentic Puerto Rican cuisine!!
If you want to wake up your taste buds you must dine at El Rincon. A Caribbean flair with some of the tastiest treats we've had since we traveled to the islands. The grilled chicken is excellent, the skirt steak is excellent, the shrimp is excellent. Don't take my word for it, visit them and discover for yourself.
