"This may have been one of the best meals I've ever had in Florida! I ordered the Tripleta Sandwich, which was absolutely loaded with meat (Steak, Roast Pork, and Ham) and veggies (Lettuce and Tomato), with mayo-ketchup. Also ordered was the Fried Yuca, which came with Garlic-Cilantro Mojo. There is a 100% chance that I will be telling all my friends who visit Orlando to make a stop at this restaurant. I only wish I would have dined in over doing a carry out order!! 5 Stars for Sure!"

"The food was great and there were many options both large and small portions. There are a few vegetarian options. It is a counter service restaurant so you place your order at a kiosk or with a person at the counter. Then you are given a number and you find a table and the food is brought to your table. I always feel a bit frustrated when asked for a tip on a self service kiosk and I have not gotten any service yet. Don't expect a follow-up on drinks or desserts, you have to go back to the counter and order. There is seating inside and on a patio outside. There are large group tables so it would be a good place for a larger group. Oddly, there was a professional photographer going around offering to take photos as well."

"Absolutely loved this place! The food was amazing, the servers were incredibly friendly, and everything was very well priced for the quality. The manager was walking around doing table touches, which really stood out and made the experience feel personal. We were even offered to have our photo taken by a photographer and shared with us — such a nice touch. The way this restaurant is run is truly impressive. As a restaurant manager myself, I really appreciate seeing things done right from the other side. Such a great find — we’ll definitely be back!"

"Order at the counter, self seating and get ready to have your senses blown away!! The favors and the smells were absolutely amazing! My Uber driver recommended it last year when I was here for a convention, but didn’t have time to go, so made sure I went this time around! So glad we came!"

"I stopped at this place in Orlando for the first time, mostly because it stood out in an area packed with hotels and chain restaurants. It felt different, so I decided to give it a try. Great decision. The place is very clean, spacious, and welcoming. It has a casual vibe, almost a mix between fast casual and sit-down dining. Not upscale, but comfortable and relaxed. It smells amazing when you walk in, which is always a good sign. There is plenty of parking since it is located in a busy plaza, and seating was also plentiful. What truly stood out was the staff. I was immediately greeted by the manager, Gladys, who was incredibly attentive and helpful. The place was extremely busy because of the holiday, yet she was completely on top of everything. Total professional. I sat at the bar and was quickly taken care of by Isabel, who was an absolute delight. Friendly, efficient, and welcoming. Even with the crowd, the entire team seemed organized and calm, which says a lot about management. The food came out on time and was delicious. The prices were fair, and the coffee was honestly to die for. I am actually disappointed that I am leaving town, because I would have definitely gone back again before heading home. Overall, this is a place worth visiting if you are in the area. Great food, strong leadership, and a staff that clearly cares. Completely impressed and pleasantly surprised."

"For quite a few years now, when we come to Orlando, we end up having a nice dinner... And sometimes lunch too at this great place. They serve a variety of South American specialties and trust me, they are all good! This time my wife got the Peruvian chicken and I got the Cuban shredded pork. Both entries came with three sides! I got some delicious fried yuka, boiled yuka and fried plantains . The bork was delicious, nicely spiced but not too hot. Both yuka were well cooked and very flavored in their different ways. I should mention that the portions were very generous, so we got quality and quantity. My wife's chicken was very well cooked too and she got yuka too so all was very good. The price was very reasonable and everyone working there was very friendly. A great experience once again, that's why we keep coming back."

"Everything about this place is amazing. I wish I lived closer because I would be a regular! We tried several things on our visits there while in town and I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite. The food, coffee and staff are all top notch!"

"The food was ok, I liked the drinks and atmosphere. You pay at counter and they bring your food. They made two errors to our order and the server was rude about it…when our receipt showed what we ordered word for word. 1 thing they didn’t bring the other they made it wrong both easy fixes. A simple sorry and fix it wld have been great but … instead we got the attitude."
