Rincon Criolla

...is located at 40-09 Junction Blvd. in NYC's Borough of Queens in Corona. This cuban restaurant is over 30 years old and the interior looks like it has not been updated. They still allow patrons to smoke inside!

I tried the cubano sandwich (a deal for $5) - ham, sliced pork, cheese and pickles on a roll - pressed to perfection!
