Almost all of their seating is outside, along the busy roadside, surrounded by bugs. Upon ordering they informed us they could not make a mojito or BBQ chicken (despite being on the menu). We waited almost an hour for our food, despite being the only table eating at the time. When the food came much of it was cold and... more

I don't care what they call it, just call me when the doors are open! We did the family dinner (ribs, pulled pork, and a selection of sides) Pork was a little dry but still tasty, ribs fantastic, and sides all good, but the "curly sweet potato fries" are a standout. More like kettle fried potato chips, light, crunchy, and... more

This restaurant is not that easy to find, but well worth the search. The setting is very basic but food is anything but! The pulled pork was done to perfection and sides were well done as well. (The baked beans, "fries" and plantains were especially good) The waiter went out of his way and an overall, a very good place... more

We vacationed in Rincon in March of 2008 and ate suppers at several different restaurants until we found El Cerdito del Cielito. We ate here the final three nights of our vacation. The food was outstanding. My wife and I had a different fish dinner each night, and the kids loved the BBQ. Good sized portions and price fairly. We... more

Firstly, you may pass it cuz the sign says "bbq smokehouse" really big and "cerdito del cielito" in tiny letters. If you can get passed The neon lights and the plastic tablecovers, you'll enjoy good food and good service more

El Cerdito del Cielito was the best. I don't normally even enjoy BBQ, but I could not stop eating the brisket. All the other things on the menu were amazing, but that brisket put me in heaven! If you ever go to Rincon, you'd be nuts not to go here! more

The pulled pork was excellent. They have several types of fresh-caught fish each day -- we had the grouper and it was very good. My wife loved their mofongo. We got everything "to go" and ate on the balcony of our villa as I can't say much for the atmosphere here. Great food at a good price! more

I followed other Trip Advisor suggestions and decided to visit this place. I live in Puerto Rico, but at a relatively far place and like to explore new food places around the island. I must say that when I arrived at the place I was a bit let down, cause it looks old, small and common. Still, I decided to... more

I moved from Puerto Rico last christmas and I'm really missing the food already. One of my favorite restaurants was El Cierdito del Cielito located in Rincon near the beach. I know the owners personally and I can tell you that they really go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The BBQ is great and the seafood... more
