Rincon Criollo

This old-timer has the "ambiente familiar" of one of my favorite restaurants in South Beach, so even if my Cuban sandwich ($4) didn't come together — the counterman had to retrieve it from hiding, and unwrap it, before applying the press, and the flavors didn't marry — I'd like to visit it again on some warmer sunny afternoon.
