Rinconcito Colombiano Bakery & Restaurant — Restaurant in Altamonte Springs

The pictures I took look good (at least okay), but... hear me out:

Burger Bun: Not sure if the bread was just old, but it tasted like gum—chewy, stale, and lifeless. Honestly, I just couldn’t chew it. Seriously, did you use buns expired two years ago??????

Recommended Breakfast Plate by chasiher: Umm...

Eggs: Scrambled eggs that feel like you just grabbed some from your fridge, tossed in a few veggies, and fried them up w/o salt. Bland and forgettable. If you’re too lazy to make basic scrambled eggs at home, sure, come here, lol.

Steak: Thinly sliced beef, pan-fried, and completely flavorless. Seriously, just go to "Walmart", grab some mediocre beef slices, fry them up, and voilà—you’ve got what they serve here. Meh.

Rice and Beans: Well, at least they didn’t mess this up. It’s hard to ruin rice and beans unless you’re a truly terrible cook, so this met the standard.

Empanadas: We tried both pollo and carne. Honestly, they were mediocre compared to other Latin restaurants I’ve tried in Orlando.

Sorry for the blunt review, but as a big fan of Latin food from different cultures, I know you...

Do not come here if you want good food and good service. The only thing good was the beef empanada and I’m sure they bring that in from somewhere else. Our food was served wrong (missing items on the bandeja paisa). The chicharrón (pork) was tough, the egg looked precooked and the steak was tough. We got a couple of waters and it was served with FIVE ice cubes. We asked for more and got a small styrofoam cup half full. The server stated the machine was making more. We gave up and drank it room temperature. This is a good place for an empanada and a Coke. There are better places to get a good quality...

Judging a place soley on a dessert feels odd. But in nearly 35 years of eating in dozens of latin joints, I've never had a better example of this particular item.

They make them on premises, they say. The flavor and texture are beyond good. Excellent. Flaky tender pastry, the perfect guava filling, and a nice amount of light, sweet, cream cheese. The dessert I'm referring to, of course, is the pastelito de guayaba con queso. I challenge you to find a better one...
