El Rincon Boricua - Lehigh Acres

Delicious authentic puertorican food in this hidden gem! I had chicharon de pollo with rice and beans and my daughter had arroz con gandules and pernil with tostones. Both plates include a small tomato and lettuce salad. Food was really delicious lots of flavor. Very happy to have found this place. One thing to note, they are not open Mondays Sundays. I discovered this when I was craving their food on a Sunday and though the website said open untilb8om, when hubby and I got there a note on the door said closed Monday and Sunday. Go when they are open you will not be disappointed. Sorry no pic's this is what happens when the food is fire!!!

Good food, friendly staff. The layout is a bit weird. It is one of the only places to sit and eat in Lehigh.

Not horrible food. Needed more seasoning and more of authentic Puerto Rican seasoning. They don 't make their own alcapurrias nor pastelillos. I know this because one of the owners took our order and said, they haven 't made those (alcapurrias) in almost two years ... we 're out, our shipment comes in around Tuesday (pastelillos) . Menu should be updated as well as pictures on website. We won 't be back.In response to owner 's response:It seems I was then misinformed by your employee. Employees should be updated on current menu items no longer available. I come from Puerto Rican women who cooked frituras and authentic comida criolla/boricua for a living in Puerto Rico and parents who owned a catering in Puerto Rico and myself having lived in Puerto Rico for over eight years and traveled the island, eaten at many local restaurants and was an employee in food and beverage departments throughout El Conquistador resort ,I believe I know food and service. I went to try your food because several acquaintances really like it. I stand by my review and appreciate your time.

The food was delicious and the service was great. Jinette was very friendly. I will definitely be returning!!!!
