Stopped in for a quick lunch. I ordered the grilled chicken with rice, beans, and plantains and my friend got the power burger. The food was pretty tasty and was a portion however it took a little long to get to the table and the burger came out 10 minutes after my meal which was a little frustrating. read more

Worse service. Took an hour to get 4 sandwiches. At 25 minutes, they kept telling us 5 more minutes every 5 minutes. Very unorganized. Finally got 4 sandwiches and the order was not correct. read more

The food is very good, but it's expensive. They charge a 15% kitchen charge, which when added to the tip adds another $10 to your bill (3 people). No refills on coffee. It's a shame because my bill was over $50 for the three of us, which I paid but never again. read more

Passing by on way back from the airport, found this little shop in the strip mall. Unique setup, order at the counter or seat yourself and get table service. Wide selection of meat-centric Cuban dishes, not many choices for vegetarians. Garlic shrimp 3/5. Cream cheese pastry 4/5. Service fast and friendly, all visible staff was bilingual. Would return. read more

I've eaten here on a few occasions, beachside if previous experiences I'm giving it a 4 star; however, my most recent experience was a 3 star. Normally, my husband and I get the Cuban sandwiches. They are excellent. This time, we got meals. I had the bistec, it was good, portion large and priced very well. Kids had the chicken fingers, they are excellent and good quality meat. Mainly, the issue was service. Our order was wrong twice and we had more than one waitress bringing things (maybe where the mix up lies). Everything was corrected, but it was a bit frustrating. We'll be back... and stick to our Cubans! read more

Café Pinar - Bistec lunch $8.99 - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Need to update your website. Your website shows carne con papa for $8.99 but when want to buy it at your location you are charging $11.99. I show you that your website says $8.99. They would not adjust the price. I will take my Business elsewhere. My order was going to be a total of $50 so you just lost money and future business. read more

I forgot exactly what I ordered but it was breaded steak with red beans and it was amazing! The staff was extremely attentive and efficient. I came for lunch and they were quite busy but service wasn't compromised. read more

Great authentic, affordable Cuban food. The moment I waked in, i was immediately greeted by their employee in Spanish. She explained the menu and options for breakfast. I ended up having "pastelitos" one of cheese and ham, one of meat and one of chicken! They were freshly made and as soon as I took the first bite, I could feel the steam fogging my glasses. Next time I am there, I will definitely try their coffee as well. read more

Delicious!!! It was so good, I forgot to take pictures!! We ordered a Cuban sandwich, 3 empanadas and one papa rellena, and everything was fresh and amazing. The pulled pork on the sandwich was juicy and well seasoned. The emepandas were huge and full of meat. The rellena had the perfect amount of spices and cheese and was crispy and hot. I'd highly recommend! read more

Our first morning in Orlando for a business meeting, we tried out this place after reading the reviews on Yelp. The food, for the most part, was excellent; served on paper plates with plastic cutlery detracted somewhat from the experience though. I ordered hash browns with my eggs (should have know better from the name and branding) and had two McD style hash brown 'patties' that had been deep fat fried. Meant to get back for lunch, but did not have the time. We'll be looking to give them another shot next time we're in the area. read more

Café Pinar - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I stopped in during my lunch break because I was craving a Cuban sandwich. The staff was super friendly - we had multiple staff members greet us and interact with us. Our food arrived super quickly. I haven't had a lot of Cuban sandwiches, but I still think I know a good Cuban sandwich when I see it - and you could tell as soon as they brought them out that it was going to be delicious. The bread was buttery and greasy, the cheese was melting out the side of the sandwich, dripping with mustard.. it was an absolute 1000000/10. I felt like I needed to immediately take a nap afterwards, in the best way possible. I can't wait to come back and have another!!! read more

This place is so far the best Cuban restaurant in town. You are greeted at the entrance with a bright smile and a warm welcome. They hand you their menus as soon as you walk in, and are invited to pick a table. The staff is extremely friendly, especially the owner/manager in the front. They constantly check on you to see if everything is ok. I often see business people having meeting here. Their coffee is amazing. We come here all the time weather is for breakfast or lunch. Will recommend this to absolutely anyone. Make yourself a favor and visit this place. read more

Food is authentic and tasty, staff is unbelievably friendly, price is on point. I make a stop every time I'm in Orlando. Strong cafe con leche and breakfast combos ~$4-6 are delicious (especially the Cuban toast)!! read more

1 Chicken Leg Quater, Rice&Beans and "Maduros" (Sweet Plantains) for only $4.99dlls??? They have lots of specials at lunch like this! All homemade style food. All I can say is that this is Cheap, Homemade and Clean! Personally, this is one of my best spots to get Breakfast because they have a Delicious Steak & Eggs combo for around $7:00 bucks!!! No wonder why is always packed at all times! However, they have plenty of seating outdoors and indoors, plenty of parking and the staff is super-fast! read more

We really enjoyed this cuban cafe. Great cortadito. Daughter really enjoyed her mango shake. Croquettes we crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Even though the menu doesnt list omelets, they will prepare the eggs as you wish. So I had the #5 (sausage, ham, bacon, cheese and tomato) as an omelet. Dont know what kind of sausage they use (possibly Spanish chorizo) but it was especially tasty. Comes with buttered cuban toast and fries. Wife ordered the cuban sandwich, pork was moist. She said it was very good. We even ordered an empanada for the road. Employees were very pleasant and came by to check on us. Great place! read more

The ham sandwich I'd quite simple. Cuban bread pressed with ham and American cheese. That's it. No pickle, no mayo, no mustard so be forwarned, pretty basic at only $3.70. Beef empanada is good and Crunchy ad no need for salt. read more

Stopped by this place while I was waiting for my watch to be repaired at the mall. I was saw that they had a Cuban sandwich so I decided to give it a try. I wasn't sure what to expect as I've had my fair share of Cubans in the central Florida area. To my surprise this was hands down one of the best Cuban sandwiches I've ever had. The bread was soft, fresh, and warm like they just baked it from the oven. The pork was tender and flavorful, everything was cooked to perfection and ready within 15 minutes. I'll definitely be back again to have it and possibly try the other sandwiches on the menu. read more

Café Pinar - Cuban sandwich 5/5! - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great Cuban find. The owner was so accommodating for my wife's allergies and made a simple pollo ala plancha with beans, rice, and maduros (fried sweet banana). No kids meal? No problem! He even went and offered a FRESH made chicken strips with rice, beans, and maduros. Plenty for 2 Cravings near Florida Mall? Stop here! read more

This place is awesome. The most authentic Cuban fokd anywhere in Orlando. It's also stupid cheap. The ropa vieja is my go to every time I'm there, and it never disappoints. I'm a big guy who would usually get two plates at a restaurant but one plate is always enough here. All there empanadas are delicious, and honestly, everyone who works there is extremely nice. This is a must go if you want Cuban. It's not even bad quality, it's just a working class place. read more

I used to come here all the time when I worked in the area. Exceptional food and service. Literally everything here is fantastic: pernil, ropa vieja, empanadas, sandwiches, cortaditos, etc. As a native South Floridian, I have very high standards for Cuban food. This is hands down the best Cuban food I've had in Orlando. Other more well known Cuban restaurants don't even come close. Oh, and if you get the pernil make sure to ask for some of the delicious crispy skin! read more

At first glance it definitely looks like a hole in the wall but the food is absolutely delicious the flavors Incorporated into the dishes are beautiful I've never had Cuban food but I have to say 10 out of 10 would come again! read more

Great cuban food, the closer you will find to Home made, even the atmosphere is like eating at home not too commercialized and the attention is warm and friendly. I asked the owner and, he explain that they are progressing as they goes by. This is clearly what small business should be. They are the heart of our economy and the real American Spirit. Let's start giving our small businesses a chance to recover our economy. Bottom line is great food and good coffee. read more

Café Pinar - Best Quesillo in town. - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Basic rice and beans nothing special could have had 6 meals for the price of two. Definitely not 4 1/2 stars.

I popped in here on a whim after landing In Orlando for work. No idea what to expect. Ordered the #4 special for breakfast. 2 eggs, tomatoes, onions, bacon, ham, hashbrowns. Everything was cooked to perfection and I loved the queso fresco on top of my eggs. My hashbrowns were a little greasy but that's the only thing that keeps me from a 5-star rating. I should have known coming down to FLA that I would be greeted in spanish. It caught me off guard. Next time I'll be prepared. Would highly recommend if you're looking for a great breakfast coming from or to the airport! My cafadito hit the spot! read more

wow, all these reviewers have no idea what good Cuban food taste like. The croquetas were not fresh or homemade. The eggs with ham were okay at best. The COFFEE (a prime reason for Cuban breakfast) was mediocre. I'm actually stunned - avoid it read more

If I had to pick a restaurant that I would like to spend days at a time in because I was in a hostage situation; I would choose this one. I could live here day and night and eat until I die. The food flavor are authentic Cuban. The staff seems to be mostly Cuban. Staff is very friendly. The prices are very very affordable. I had the roasted chicken special for $4.99. Delicious!!!! With a mango shake and a side of mariquitas. I could not finish it. I could have shared with my wife and we would still be full. read more

Café Pinar - Roasted chicken lunch special $4.99 - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Midnight sandwich was amazing. Chicken empanadas was also fire. Delivery time was reasonable. Prices are fit as well. Definitely recommend

(10/26/2018) A coworker picked up a variety of sandwiches (Cuban, medianoche, tripleta) from Cafe Pinar for an office brunch. They were the first things to disappear off a very full table. They were halves individually wrapped, warm, and delicious. I had a Cuban. It was pressed, the bread was chewy and fresh. The pork was porky and chunky (moist and flavorful), thick slices of ham (not deli shaved), tart pickles, oozy cheese, mustard and a good Schumer's of mayo (I love the addition). I went back for a medianoche, but they were all gone already :( read more

I love love love this place. I go twice a week to get my breakfast sandwich and croquetas. I haven't had their food yet, but I can imagine it's just as great. They are an authentic Cuban restaurant, spoke to the owner who says his goal is to continue maintaining this restaurant authentic. It's a definite must and hidden gem. read more

Update 6 months later: The $2.99 breakfast is now $3.69. Nonetheless the price is still unbeatable for the amount of food that you get and the quality of the food. The customer service is still as good as the first time. Try it if you're in the area. read more

Café Pinar - Ropa Vieja. - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

We ate here the first day we arrived in Orlando, and had to return again before we leave. Their pernil is amazing. The family just had to have the Cuban sandwich here again with the hot sauce. I had the arroz congri, roast chicken leg, fried sweet plantain and a side of boiled yuca. Everything was well seasoned and taste so good. The owner recommended that I tried their white bean soup, and that did not disappoint. Hubby had an order of the beef empanadas, and he loved every single bite of it despite being too full after eating his Cuban sandwich. The food is worth the trip to fly back to Orlando for. We had tried several other Cuban and Latin American food places in the Orlando and Kissimmee area during our 6 day stay in Florida but every one of them fall short compared to Cafe Pinar. Best Cuban sandwich, congri rice, pernil, and boiled yuca in town. read more
