We ordered Brussels sprouts, which were ok, a steak which had chimichurri (supposedly) but was a reinvented version, which was not so good and the steak was just ok - bit expensive $56 (120g) and 2 martinis. The food was not spectacular and the place looked very layback nothing special for atmosphere. Had some music and the whole time we could hear someone in the kitchen playing YouTube on their phone which was very disturbing tbh. Our waitress was lovely. And menu is super limited.
If there’s a place that truly deserves to be recognized among the best dining spots, it’s undoubtedly Estela de Rincón. From the first bite to the last sip, every detail of this experience was impeccable.
The “Steak of the Day” featured a spectacular ribeye, perfectly cooked and accompanied by delicious eggplant skewers, soaked in milk and fried to perfection. My choice, the duck breast, was cooked to absolute perfection and served with a mash of sweet potato and another of apple, both so smooth they practically melted in my mouth.
The drinks elevated the evening even further:
• A refreshing mix of hibiscus vodka, lemon juice, and ginger infusion.
• An elegant Rum Old Fashioned, with aged rum, Angostura, orange bitters, and a rosemary infusion.
To end on a high note, a Key Lime Pie Brûlée that was simply spectacular.
Beyond the food, what makes Estela truly special is the warmth of its team and the chance to chat with Chef Abel, whom we’ve been visiting since 2018. A great human being—humble and passionate about his craft—whose dedication and consistency continue to elevate our local cuisine.
As long as my body allows, I will keep coming back to Estela de Rincón. Thank you, Abel, for creating unforgettable experiences!
Estela is, without a doubt, one of my favorite restaurants. During our visit, we tried the rodaballo with chickpeas — absolutely spectacular — along with the ceviche, a salad of local tomatoes, and the “florecita” for dessert. Every dish was a delight. I highly recommend visiting.
Estela was outstanding from start to finish. Angelica, our server, was incredible. She knew the menu inside and out, explained every ingredient with confidence, and was attentive the entire evening. Abel, the chef, created food that was absolutely amazing, with every dish carefully thought out and executed perfectly. The cocktails were just as impressive, some of the best I’ve ever had. Everything about the meal was simply perfect.
Phenomenal food, drinks, and service. Our waiter was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. Menu was selective but no bad options. Compliments to the chef - a must eat when in Rincon.
