El Rincón De La Negrita

Ok, so in being truthful, I know the owner of this place. We were both doing a project to help the homeless. That's how we met. I saw the food she was giving out and asked when she got it from. She told me that she owned an Ecuadorian Restaurant in Newark on New York Ave. I told her then that I would go visit when I could. So, I did. The service was ok. The food was also ok. The steak was a bit tough, and they didn't ask me how I wanted my eggs for the dish, so I got really runny eggs. I had taken two of my Ecuadorian friends with me, and they said it was ok. Apparently, there was way more stuff that they made that was not on the menu. They are supposedly known for their seafood dishes, and the menu we got had no seafood dishes, except soup called encebollada, which had tuna in it. I had asked to speak to the owner from the time I walked in, but no one seemed to want to come talk to me. Finally, as we were finished and were about to pay the bill, the owner came out and greeted us. She was super friendly and made us feel welcomed. Next time, we will be ordering a shrimp dish or something other than what was on the menu. I want to give it another try. If for no other reason, the owner and her family love to help and feed their community, and that in itself is ok in my book, so I will continue to visit them.
