10 months agoGreat food — tostones rellenos extra cheesy and plantains still surprisingly crispy. Costillas with arroz morro and yuca were amazing with meat cooked and seasoned perfectly. Masas de cerdo with white rice and platanos maduros were also yum thought the masas were a tiny bit dry. Capped it off with a rich, sweet cafecito. Friendly service as well. Will return!

11 months agoTHE BEST TASTING FOOD! I’m grateful that they are right here in Iowa. They know how to make those plantains not all nasty smushy and slimy. But perfect ripeness, crispy fried! The oxtails are eyes rolling in the back good and so tender and so flavorful. Like I could use the bone to flavor other meals good 🤤🤤🤤. The paella 🥘 was fire and so flavorful without being salty or soggy. Plenty of seafood surprises inside. I had two large glasses of fresh delicious mango juice. I want to go back right now! Makes me think of Miami. Definitely in point with the amazing Cuban restaurants down there. Food presentation was excellent. I eat with my eyes, mouth and nose and all of them were beyond satisfied. The flavor was a 10/10 and the presentation. Side note the flan was the best flan I have ever had!

Edited a year agoFood was amazing and very flavorful, I got the Pechuga Al Grill. I highly recommend getting the Maduros as a side dish. I ended up getting my food to-go, and it was a slow day today, but the lady that was there was super sweet and helpful when I was looking over the menu. I will definitely be back!! 10 stars!! ETA: just came back and got the grilled fish, rice with beans, and Maduros. (Second photo) Excellent!!

a year agoMy first time in Des Moines and I was looking for some really tasty food, and I found it at El Rincon Cubano! I highly recommend this place, I had the Pechuga al grill, with rice and beans, and maduros! Everything was excellent, especially the mojo :) go give it a try, you wont be disappointed. The staff is super sweet too, cant wait to come back.

a year agoOur experience here was great! The friendly servers were quick to attend to us. They offered to bring drinks and served a plate of delicious Cuban garlic bread. The menu has a great selection of Cuban cuisine and drinks. They even have Malta, my favorite. I wish they offered larger sizes though, as I had to order two to satisfy my thirst. They also have good "batidos" (shakes). I ordered the Cuban sandwich, which was excellent. My wife ordered congrí, a Cuban version of rice and beans mixed. The price was high, but it was definitely worth it. We will definitely return to this place as it's great!

The food is absolutely delicious and authentically Cuban, with rich flavors that transport you straight to Havana. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect spot for both casual dining and special occasions. The service was top-notch, with attentive and friendly staff who went out of their way to ensure we had a great time. Every aspect of our meal was exceptional. If you're looking for an authentic Cuban dining experience with great service, this place is a must-visit!

a year agoI have been longing for an authentic Cuban restaurant in the 515 and am thrilled to finally have one! They haven’t even been opened a week yet but the food and service were wonderful. Clean, wonderful food and friendly service. We will be back again and again!
