This place was great. Its kind of tucked away, but worth the drive. I have been looking for an authentic Puerto Rican restaurant for a while and glad I could finally find one. The hours that you see here could change though not sure how often that happens. I had tried to make arrangements to come here a few times with my friends before finally being able to stop in on a Tuesday night. The downside? Parking & parking lot is overall not good, needs to be maintained and or paved. But food? Excellent 🫶🏼💯

The pernil (roasted pork) was good, and the arroz con gandules with yellow rice. The fried pork was kinda dry. The horchatas were really good, and the empanadillas. The mofongo was ok, it was our first time trying it, will probably give the leftovers to the pets... But the desserts were really good, the flan and Nutella empanadilla.Street parking was easy, and the ladies room was clean and well stocked.

Local place with lots of well locals. Always a good sign when going to a resturant. Not many Puerto Rican resturants in Detroit. Don Luis Mich Ave gone but awesome. Store front church on Michigan Ave gone but awesome. Ordered postelitios/empanadas with ground beef and cheese. Also arozz con gondules/rice pigeon peas. Got home and first bite of rice and postelitios was dry. They had some sort of dipping sauce on the side. Did not help much just dried out meat and rice. Nice people great atmosphere but the food needs work.

Although they didnt have adequate parking, hot sauce, or the drink that I wanted, or soap, or toilet paper in the bathroom. This place still deserves a four star rating. I went for the food and was not disappointed. Surprised in fact. The food was so delicious and flavorful it made up for what they didnt have. I will definitely be back.

My 1st time there, I was greeted with a smile almost immediately, The lady (bartend/waitress) was very nice, & was patient while I figured out the menu. Also very helpful to answer questions I had. Very nice experience. I recommend this lovely place to anyone that wants to stop by for a few drinks. Or, just for a nice dinner... Great job, Rincon Tropical!!🍹

Small hole in the wall place but food is outstanding, along with the friendly service. My second tube and both trips have been absolutely phenomenal. I hate places like this because theres literally 30 things on the menu that you will want to try. If you go once you will definitely be going again to try something else.

Review №25

Is sad when we have Puerto Rican restaurants but the food is not good when puertorican food is really good I had rice with pernil and my friends and it was cold n dry like it was a left over plate. No flavor . I had friends tell me puertorican food is no good so I proof them wrong I went n bought what I needed n cooked rice w gandules n made a pernil n potatoe salad n they loved it. I bought monfongo from here too n it was good. They just need to work on their food with seasoning n not burnt the meat or overcooking , I just hate that people buy puertorican food in some restaurants n think that’s how our food really is , you just have to be dedicated to cooking n love doing it to work as a chef making puertorican food n you will have so much customers n please don’t serve pork that’s old you could get sued , I’m still going to give this place another chance in about a week n see how the food taste but if is still the same way I probably won’t ever come back.

Review №28

I was here at this restaurant 5yrs ago but didnt return bc the food wasnt that great but Im very sadden to say that its not good at all now. And I say this as constructive criticism bc I always want mi gente to do well. We came in and the place looked so dark and it didnt feel clean at all. I ordered few dishes. The Carne Guisada was extremely dry tasting. The Chuletas de Cerdo estaba ok it only came with one chop for a dinner portion. The Mofongo was very good, I truly enjoyed that. My Canoa de Carne didnt look appealing at all so I didnt eat. The alcapurrias looked very greasy and overcooked so once again I didnt eat them. What I was really disappointed with was the Mollejitas y Guineitos side dish. It literally looked gray color weigh no flavor at all, the bananas were so mushy and overcooked. No color, no vinegar nothing. Just tasted like boiled vegetables. My empanadillas de Carne was another issue, the meat had no flavor at all!! And when they were fried they were not sealed correctly so it cooked the insure with the meat. I say this to say, Puerto Rican food has so much flavor, color, peppers, olives, so many ingredients and this place is just doing the bare minimum to make Our food but MI gente, you know YOUR food could be so much better! And the cleanliness in the bathroom is an issue.The young lady at the Bar was extremely professional and very friendly. Her service was optimum!

I was at the bar upstairs a few Fridays ago. It was a nice small bar not too many ppl. The DJ played a really good mix of all the current hits. From banda to reggaeton and bachata. I would take my friends but they charge $20 and this isn’t a place I would pay $20 for.

This place fell off over the last few years. Asty time has better food and cheaper. This place doesnt give enough meat. They serve you kids portions for almost $20 meal. Asty time was closed on Monday so I decided to come here instead and it was a huge mistake. I rarely leave reviews, but Rincon Tropical is doing its customers a disservice. They suck!

Review №34

They need to step it up. My daughter and I ordered tostones and carne frita the tostones were burned, its sad because this is one of the few carribean food restaurants here in Detroit and if the customer that comes for the first time to enjoy a Puertorican meal will be very disappointed. First of all its not authentic Puerto Rican food, and it seems like they dont take pride in cooking my food to really give people a taste of my ISLANDS delicious food!!!

Review №37

It is a shell of what it once was. Service was terrible. We received our drinks after 25 minutes. We received our appetizers 75 minutes after we arrived. There were only three tables with people at them. I am Puerto Rican. 🇵🇷 we go to PR restaurants not only because we love the food but to support our people and culture. I think this place in a span of four years has forgotten that. I also think that being the only PR restaurant in the area has caused them to lose what made everyone love them four years ago. Its sad.

Review №44

The service was great and the lady was very nice as well as attentive with us. But I am Puerto Rican and I’m sorry none of that food tasted like a Puerto Rican made it. No alcapuria is shaped like a pastelillo 😒. The beans tasted like Dominican beans🤢 which is not what I came for, no offense. Let a REAL Boricua run the kitchen please. It’s false advertising as well as the music they played. Nothing gave me Puerto Rican’s vibes. A lot of mosquitos 🦟 while eating.

Review №46

This was my first time eating at this restaurant and the over experience was poor! I ordered the pernil with rice and beans. The rice and beans was tastie. However, the roasted pork meat was half grease. I told the waitress about it and said nothing! In fact the waitress never checked on us at all till we finished our meal. The sanitation in the kitchen was lacking and needed attention! The overall conditions of the restaurant was fair at best! They were out of several items as well. My first visit and my last visit!

Food was ok at best, service was TERRIBLE!! Empanadias were empty and bland!! Never again!! Waited over an hour for sandwich. People came, ate, and went as we still waited. The restaurant was not clean at all, had about a million flies flying around, I can only imagine what the kitchen looked like!! So gross!! P.S bleach, a rag and windex goes a long way!! TERRIBLE!! Dont waste your time or money, Detroit has MUCH better eateries!!

Review №52

Absolutely awful! The fish is not fresh. They give you a mini Red snapper for $21.99 and it taste sooo fishy and spoiled! I decided to try this restaurant because I have not been able to find a Puerto Rican yesterday in Detroit. This is NOT authentic.. Its nothing like Puerto Rico! The Talipia was also spoiled. it was just so bad! The shrimp empanada had one small shrimp in it, so it was basically empty, so its just fried dough. SAVE YOUR MONEY. most hole in the wall places have good food but not this place.

Review №53

The restaurant is in a rough part of town, next to an oil change place. The inside is very rustic. You go here for the food and not the place. The menu has everything that is offered in the island, but the food is better in Puerto Rico. However, you keep coming back because this is one of the few places you can get it in Michigan.

Rubber band was found in my dish thank God it wasnt swallowed while I was eating. When I let the waitress know she took it to the back, then came back and was like Im sorry it came off the cilantro . There were only 4 leaves of cilantro in the dish, so im still confused on how a rubber band got in. Customer service was terrible no manager nor the waitress tried to fix the situation .We still had to pay full price. Health dept. May need to inspect that kitchen but no one sees. NEVER AGAIN check your meals

Food was ok. Had bbq ribs. Meat was dried out and was likely prepared days in advance. Tried trifongo for the first time. It was good. My problem was that were flies EVERY where. We could not enjoy our meal. If it was that many flies in the dining area, I can only imagine what was happening in the kitchen.

Mouth watering. Flavorful. Best Puerto Rican food Ive had! Great place to go during the week when theres a family feel. We got the deep fried pork chunks. Need I say more? And the Mofongo was full of multiple layers of flavor! We also got deep fried plantain cups filled with pork a and cheddar cheese. Yes! Thats a thing! And its delicious! My friend and I came here, but well be back next time with more people!

Review №62

I order closed to 60 dolllars worth of food for the family & this is what I experienced.. The relleno de papa was good but they fried it in the oil they fried fish so it had the taste of fried fish in it.. The bistec encebollado was ok they didnt seasoned it so i had to tweek it myself at home & it was a lil tough to chew. the mofongo was good with the shrimp and the baked chicken it was ok as well. & the pork chops taste like fish as well but was ok..only advice that i got is dont fried the chicken or steak or any type of meat where you fried fish.. Will i go there again.. Probably not Ill rather cook at home but since its the weekend i wanted to invited the family out for a change.

Review №64

If you think this is good Puerto Rican food, your mom never hit you with a chancleta before.There has only been one other experience that fairs worse than this ‘restaurant’.Additionally, as a former secret shopper for in house restaurant reviews, there are so many reasons to avoid this place:‘Fresh’ juice = powered mix & waterA microwaved appetizer advertised as serving 4-8 people consisted of 1-2 pieces of carne frita, tostones, Sorullitos, and something that can only be described as floury, pasty, mushy, fried ball of potato and cheese.2 beef and 2 chicken pastellios were tasteless and also microwaved.40 minutes and $45 for fried appetizers to-go, they forgot the maduro and another 10 minutes to get reimbursed bc patients had run out.Beyond disappointedSave your money

This week is Southwest Detroit Restaurant Week and we love Southwest Detroit. This particular restaurant, is down the block from my barbershop and right next to this restaurant they were working on cars! I at first was like WTH? Strip club is right across the street and a liquor store on the corner. Don’t be alarmed though. The food was very good and the prices weren’t that bad. I learned a long time ago - never judge a book by the cover. It’s location is kind of Latino hood-ish, but the food is well worth it and the servers were very courteous. The music was great as well.
