El Rincon Alegre cooks over charcoal in the open air, on Naranja Road (SW 147th Avenue) near SW 232nd Street, in the farm belt of south Miami-Dade, a short drive from Homestead.

The grill is the point: lonjas de puerco, charcoal-roasted pork leg, plus pork ribs, picaña and whole fried fish, served at picnic tables under cover, with tamales and tostones alongside. Drinks are pressed and poured fresh: guarapo (sugarcane juice), coco frío, natural fruit juices and horchata.

There is live Latin music, and a playground and bounce house so families can settle in for the afternoon. Parking is free on site, and the kitchen also runs a drive-through, takeout and delivery.
