    Food is always excellent and fresh - plenty of N/A options for drinks including a great sangria. Service is always prompt and attentive.

    For scrumptious and elegant food, served in an inviting setting by world class staff, is there a better choice in the Twin Cities than Rincon 38? I love the flexibility offered by their small plates -- who can choose just one delectable dish on a menu such as this? On my recent visit I had the Campestre baby arugula salad with roasted beets and goat cheese croquetas, followed by the seafood paella ("Paella Marinera"). Shrimp, mussels, calamari in piping hot (!) saffron-sauced rice with peppers, onions, tomatoes and a lemon wedge. If Don Quixote had a favorite dish, I think this must have been it! The chocolate torte with caramel and raspberry sauces and whipped mascarpone cream was the perfect-ending indulgence. As much as I enjoy trying out the new 'hot spots' throughout the TCs, Rincon is a favorite to which I return over and over for the exquisite food, welcoming ambiance, and impeccable service. If you haven't been here, add it to your list. It's a gem worth discovering ! Buen provecho!

    Great tapas. The main issue is they close very early which is the opposite of what Spain does so we were surprised when they asked us to leave at 9:30. Get there by 6:30 as they close by 8:30 most days

    Waitstaff always have great recommendations (maybe it's just that all the food is so delicious that no recommendation could be bad). The food is incredible. I love coming here!
