Still love this Colombian Restaurant. They have made updates to the restaurant and it feels more…read morespacious. They have a new location closer to my house but I still love this location better. The service is much better here. This time my husband and I both ordered mini bandeja paisas which are traditional mixed plates. Ours had steak, white mini arepa, sausage rice, beans, bananas. I also asked for salad instead of beans. Our plates were very tasty. They also have a Bakery with Colombian breads and desserts, we did not pick up anything this time because Many of them were gone

The energy is great here- it's always full of people watching the games on tv or hanging out with family. The servers are great- very attentive, and very friendly. The bandeja paisa comes with 2 plátanos, steak, chicharrón, an egg, arepa, rice, beans- what more could you ask for! If it's too much for you, you can order the mini version.

Stopped in to Orlando Latin Market after my local Publix didn't have hominy for pozole, and I'm…read moreglad I did! This small market has a great variety of Latin foods and ingredients that can be hard to find elsewhere. It was easy to locate what I needed, and the store layout made shopping quick and simple. They also have a meat counter with an impressive selection of fresh cuts and prepared foods that looked (and smelled) amazing. There was a long line for the hot food, which tells me it must be worth the wait! If you're looking for authentic ingredients or a taste of Latin cuisine, this place is definitely worth checking out.

The place is kinda like your typical small time Mexican restaurant with interesting decorations in a sketchy strip mall. There was one server at the time and it was alright. Not the fastest but also not the slowest service. It was good but I wouldn't go out of my way to return.

I had the picadillo with yellow rice & black beans. Then for a snack later, I had a beef empanada. The juicy stuff in the picadillo is NOT grease (in case someone was wondering), it is flavor! It was great to dip the bread slices in. That sauce is cilantro sauce - so good! Go and check it out for yourself if you haven't been there. Next time I want to try the yucca and platanos (plantains).

I'm very very…read moresad I really wanted to keep supporting this restaurant because the food is genuinely good and the staff has always been pleasant. However, I've noticed that the total for the same meal seems to change from visit to visit without any explanation. I also realized that I usually don't receive a receipt unless I specifically ask for one. After comparing my bank statements, I found charges that didn't seem to match what I expected to pay. Maybe it's a mistake, but it's happened enough times that I no longer feel comfortable eating here. I recommend everyone ask for an itemized receipt and double-check the amount charged before leaving.

The food is great, the location is convenient, and the customer service is always fantastic. This…read moreis one of my favorite places to eat, which is why this is so disappointing. I've noticed that my total is different almost every time I visit, even when I order the same items. I always tip well, but I've started keeping track of my receipts and charges because something didn't seem right. I've noticed I'm often charged around $20 or more than expected, and many times I'm not given a receipt unless I ask. I hope this is just an error and not intentional, but I encourage everyone to check their receipts and compare them to what they were charged. It's really unfortunate because I genuinely enjoy this place and want to continue supporting them.

There's also no liquor license now. We were most disappointed by our food. The sauces weren't flavorful at all. My seafood was considerably less as well. We ordered a Pescado Ala macho which I compared pics from before when I ordered it as well. In addition the Tallarin Saltado lacked flavor, was mostly noodles and barely any beef. The server was nice but we could tell the overall experience was not what we once loved.

Super affordable, incredible customer service, great energy, and sweet attitude from the employees. Julio is almost always there, and he loves to make the empanadas fresh even when he has some in the case that have already been made. Super friendly, funny, happy dude. Dining in is a super chill experience. Order at the counter and wait for them to tell you it's ready (2-5mins). They always have some fun music lightly playing on the speakers too. Oh, we also love their garlic aioli and salsa. Yum, yum, yum!!! As for empanadas, we've had their: Jalapeño Steak (8/10) Classic Beef (8/10) Jamaican Beef (8.510) Chorizo (9/10) Chicken & Cheese (9.5/10) Sausage & Peppers (10/10) Chicken (11/10 I love you Julio's chicken empanada) I'll revisit this review to add more ratings as I try more.
