Cute and spacious, fun and authentic vibes. The empanadas are amazing! And so are the sandwiches, today we got bbq chicken, steak and mushrooms and they were all so delicious! Really friendly and engaging staff! Ive been here multiple times over the years of living here and Rincon never disappoints!

I just came back from a trip to South America, ham and cheese empanada was good, beef empanada I didn’t like it at all, maicena alfajor was dry and the Freddo package gelato was re frozen 1/2 melted inside, stuffers were very nice

I would not call myself an empanada person. Usually they come with too much bread and low quality fillers. Not so here. Just the right amount of phyllo dough, with wonderfully spiced and plentiful meat fillers. Fantastic! We're coming again. The following is definitely a minor gripe. Maybe this is played out, but at places like this, you should not have a tip option at checkout. We wait in line to order, and bus the tables ourselves. IMO, no tip necessary for that. Get rid of the option.

I’ve always really enjoyed this restaurant the food quality, the flavor, and the service have consistently been excellent with every order or visit. However, on this occasion, the order I placed yesterday was incorrect, and the dish I received was burnt. This seems unusual to me, as it’s not what I’ve come to expect, and I’ve always had great experiences here. I’m sure it was just an isolated mistake, but I wanted to share it as feedback for your attention. I’ll definitely continue to be a customer because I truly enjoy what you do.

Outstanding! Beautiful restaurant and super friendly staff. I ordered the traditional, spicy beef, the gaucho. Three was the perfect amount for a big lunch. Tons of flavor. I loved em! I noticed they also have frozen ones to take away. These would be great to grab and take to a party. Highly recommend!

Great experience. I had encountered feelings since I’m native from Argentina. So I’ll try to be fair enough. I loved location. I loved the ambiance. Pretty cool. Food-wise Empanadas, I didn’t try them all but they are solid. I recommend protein ones like Criolla, since they are a little pricey. The place is a little pricey in general. Sandwiches are ok. I think they are a little thin. Chimichurri was ok but I’d try to change the recipe that way the sandwich is more enjoyable even. I’m also Alfajor lover, so this is where my feelings were encountered. Since I liked empanadas but I totally disliked the alfajores. Classic one: No dulce de leche at all, I felt even bad for buying it. Totally dry and No DDL was not good way to finish the experience. I decided to try one more… Alfajor de Maicena. It was pretty dry too, but even when didn’t have too much dulce de leche, it was way more than the classic one. So at least I felt better when leaving.
