Came to The Escobar Kitchen to celebrate a friend's birthday, and from the moment we arrived, the…read morestaff was just as excited to celebrate with us. The ambiance and the warmth of the staff took me back to the Caribbean--it definitely felt like home. Their menu features a Latin-Asian fusion, and I loved every second of it. We started with the Krab Salad. It was incredibly fresh, topped with avocado, and the perfect way to open my appetite for a sushi night. Next were the Pork Fried Gyoza, served with a sticky, glossy sauce that has just the right amount of kick. They were so good, you won't be able to put your chopsticks down. The Escobar Roll combines shrimp tempura and churrasco--the best of both worlds. It's topped with sweet plantains, chimichurri sauce, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. I had my doubts about all those flavors working together, but I have no idea how they perfected that combination--they absolutely did. The Mar y Tierra Roll was recommended by our waiter, and I highly recommend ordering it in tempura. It gives the roll a completely different texture, and it's absolutely amazing. The Pollo Loco Roll is topped with sweet plantains and teriyaki sauce. It's simple, yet packed with flavor. We finished it all off with a crème brûlée. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be enjoying one at a sushi restaurant, but it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. If you're looking for creative sushi, unique Latin-inspired flavors, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, The Escobar Kitchen is definitely worth the visit.

I also ordered the Big Floyd which came with a side , & I got that with the Mexican street corn. They were out of all deserts except cookies so I grabbed a chocolate chip cookie which they make in house and they also have a unique taste but still good. I did order the food to go. They have seats if you'd like to dine in and they have a drive thru. I enjoyed the bowl it was very large and I had enough left over for lunch the next day.

It did take a considerably long time about 30/35 minutes for our food. I think they lost our order through others at the time, so I was glad I went up to check in on it. We got the brisket bowl which you can get with noodles or fried rice for $19. The portion size is quite large and enough to share. I do think the noodles were a tad bit greasier than id prefer. I'm obsessed with the Pig Floyd's sandwich but I wanted to tried one of their new bowls. I'd say they are okay, maybe it's just my choice of noodles. I do think this location will be nice once they are quicker with service. They also have a drive through which is a nice plus if you wanna pick it up!

We chose a table for two to avoid taking up larger seating, but as the restaurant got busier, a worker approached us while we were still eating and asked if we could move so they could seat a larger party.

A gorgeous, romantic atmosphere in the bustling Winter Park Village area. The location is great if…read moreyou want to be walking distance to the movie theatre, shopping, or dessert. This is an upscale Latin American fusion vibe. The portions are very middle of the road - not a lot of food for the price, but the presentation and attention to detail makes up for that. The bread for the table was a sweet coconut bread - I really liked this unique touch! We tried the Arugula Salad, Calabaza Raviolis, Langosta, and Tres Leches. Everything was delicious! The Arugula Salad was very fresh and flavorful and that dish was enough for two people to share as an appetizer/side salad. The raviolis and langosta were beautiful and complemented each other very well. The Tres Leches was again very beautifully presented and tasty, but I probably wouldn't order it again (a little too dry and too sweet for me). Overall this was a really nice special occasion or date night experience. Our server was very attentive and seemed passionate about the concept of the restaurant and the menu, which made the experience even more fun!

The tapas and sangria at Santiago's are top tier. I ordered the croquettas and the chicken skewers as well as the red sangria. The chicken skewers came with lemon and a delicious yogurt sauce. The croquettes were cheesy and crispy and served with a chive sour cream I believe? 10/10. We ordered pitchers of red sangria and it paired well with the tapas. I tried a few bites of the curry mussels and the ceviche. The mussels were very flavorful and I wish I ordered it myself! Steven was very sweet and provided dessert for my friend and we all sang happy birthday. Can't wait to come back soon for more tapas!

We had three plates of food with Fried Rice style rice, Mofongo, Beef, Tostones and Fried Sweet Plantains. For dessert we ordered a White Chocoflan (I don't know if that is the current name) and to drink Passion Fruit Juices. The food was okay. Didn't taste bad but was just okay. The food trays were generously portioned and worth the price - approximately $14. The Passion Fruit Juice was delicious. As one of my favorite juices, I had high expectations. It did not disappoint. I love Chocoflan and only have eaten homemade Chocoflans. This White Chocoflan was delicious. It was not too sweet. Both sides complimented each other well and had a good balance of flavor and texture. We were able to order and pay for our food and drinks in a reasonable time. There is ample parking and indoor seating available for dining in.

Upon entering this restaurant I knew that the food was going to be great, because it smelled so good! This restaurant is severed cafeteria style, where you go down the line with different dishes of prepared food on display before you, behind protective glass. A team member on the other side with the food, assists you be gathering together what you point to, as you go down the line. Then they put the food that you pick out into a "to go" container. At the end of the line, you pay for your food at the cash register. Just to make a sure you are aware, a tip is automatically added onto your check when you get to the register. This caught my friend by surprise, because she wasn't aware the tip was included in the receipt until it was too late, and she already paid. You are asked if you want a beverage with your order at the register. You can request a cup of tap water with a lid at this point, but if you don't specify that you want tap water, they may automatically charge you for a bottle of water. They give you plastic silverware with napkins with your meal container. After you pay for your food, you either seat your self at one of their available booths, or you take food with you to go. I got the chicken with white cheese, along with the beans and rice, and I also got some fried plantains. My friend got two dishes with pork and another dish that I can't remember what she called it. My food was so delicious! My friend loved her food as well! The atmosphere here is loud fun. I thoroughly enjoyed the music that they were playing. They also have several large TV's hung from the ceiling. that are playing shows, but I didn't see any closed captioning. The restrooms appear to be just one stall for men, and one stall for woman, and they were kept clean. After I sat down I did see a couple of house flys hanging around our booth. I did see on the wall a sign that said they deliver, but it also said that the minimum order cost for delivery was $300. I'm not sure if this restaurant also partners with meal delivery services. The restaurant is definitely a great place to go and have lots of delicious food! It is also a great place to escape the Florida heat for a little while, as it is kept nice and cool and comfortable inside.
