Jorge Castillo: New York-New York is just one example of this.
Glenn Lindgren: So we were a little skeptical about a Cuban restaurant here. Would it be some phony Vegas production cooked up for the tourists?
Jorge Castillo: We are happy to report that Rincón Criollo is a real Cuban restaurant run by real Cubans!
Glenn Lindgren: It's located in what we have to say is not the best area of Las Vegas -- although we felt perfectly safe here.
Raúl Musibay: It's in the shadow of the HUGE Stratosphere Tower, the one with the roller coaster on top.

Jorge Castillo: We're not sure how restaurants like this compete with the cheap buffets and 99 cent shrimp cocktails that are so popular on the Strip and downtown.
Raúl Musibay: They have a loyal following of local customers.
Glenn Lindgren: This is basic, down to earth Cuban cooking. From the decor to the table settings to the food preparation, there is nothing fancy about Rincon Criollo.

Glenn Lindgren: They put mustard on the Cuban sandwich here, so be sure to tell them to hold it.
Jorge Castillo: Rincon Criollo bills itself as the Casa de la Palomilla and they serve up a very nice steak -- thin and tender with just the right amount of garlic and citrus flavor.
Jorge Castillo: Yes, they do have seafood in the desert and the Enchilado De Camarones is a delicious sauté of shrimp in a criollo sauce of tomatoes, onions, and green peppers.
Raúl Musibay: Another good dish at Rincón Criollo is boliche. If you haven't had it, this is a good place to start. This beef roast is tender and stuffed with real Spanish chorizo.
