My wife and her cousins stop here to eat 7-27-23 after an unfortunate family funeral and even though it was a sad day they did however find a reason to smile at RINCON ! They said the food the service and the establishment is exactly what they needed the staff made them feel right at home and the food was amazing ! So on behalf of Myra & cousins from Lowell M.A. Muchísimas Gracias

Its alright. But it’s so expensive.. Almost 20$ for one small plate of rice, meat and beans with plantains. If would be different if you get big portions but it’s a small amount. At least increase that..

Food was okay but the price was a high. The pastelito is $3 and should be no more than $2. I live in the Boston area and can get a beef pastelito for $1. So $3 dollars in Worcester is kind of a stretch.
