El Rincon Del Buen Sabor Syracuse — Restaurant in City of Syracuse

So this restaurant changed owners and names a few months ago. It is now called El Rincon del Buen Sabor. I have been going for the last two months with my friend who's Cuban and she especially loves their Cuban pizza, which I didn't even know about until she told me. It's basically a really thick dough and they infuse the meat into the cheese instead of over it. The ham and cheese Cuban pizza is good. They have shakes (batidos) of "mamey" (mammee fruit, native to the Caribbean islands), and papaya shakes. They also have tropical juices like tamarind, soursop and passion fruit you don't see a lot around here. The Cuban sandwich here was my first ever and filled me up for like a day with all the meat and veggies pressed in warm bread. It's humongous. I also like their fried empanadas with meat and cheese. The owners are hardworking people from Cuba who really deserve to be recognized. Latinos may be familiar with the place but other ethnic backgrounds should give this restaurant a look. This is the closest to Miami/Cuban fare you will get in this city. Give it a try! They are open later...

. The food is amazing I had white rice and pork chops ( the beans omg what do they put in it they were soooo delicious). I am not lying when I say this has been the best I have had so far the seasoning, the freshness and the authenticity that reminds me of back home it was also very affordable did not break my pocket. I will spread the word as indicated by very nice worker that they have only been operating for a few months. I will most definitely come back. MUST TRY .the ladies in the front were 10/10 With their customer service made me feel comfortable...

We purchased food to go and we weren't disappointed. The staff was friendly and helpful. The arroz con gandules tasted like we were back home in Puerto Rico. The rice with squid and octopus was delicious. The rice with pork and gandules was finger lickin delicious. We are new arrivals from N.Y.C. and have tried other so-called Puerto rican restaurants and after many disappointments we finally have found the real deal. Looking forward to trying their mondongo, sancocho and other soups. We have a little piece of Puerto Rico right here...
