    Dinner
    Natalie D.

    Hidden Jem! Visited with my colleagues and boy was this place a vibe! Located within Margaritaville, Estefan's Kitchen provided my group with a memorable experience. We ate good, danced and made friends. Upon parking, which was plentiful we were greeted with an aroma that excited our tastebud and music playing that made you want to do a happy dance. There is a dj in the street area/courtyard which seemed like a part of Margaritaville entertainment but it set the tone for Estefan's because when we got inside the restaurant the music was jumping in there. There was a DJ inside playing music from every genre. There were not many people inside however, I attribute that to being 7pm on Sunday in an area where there are PLENTY of places to dine. To our advantage, we got seated quickly without a reservation.Ana our server was fast and attentive. Now, our food was 10 out of 10!! We ordered apps for the table so we all could try something different. The winners for me were the garlic shrimp and fried pork - the Latin flavors were on point. For dinner I ordered the Ropa Vieja, slow cooked shredded beef with a side of white rice. Delicious! I was able to taste the Chino Cubano rice and Avocado Salad both were amazing as well. After dinner, my colleagues ordered drinks and then we danced. Actually, we were dancing and eating the whole time! Lol. Towards the end of the night we formed a Congo line to the song Congo and met 2 other tables all celebrating birthdays. Overall, a great time and I will be definitely be back!!

    Seafood Paella 10/10 Feeds way more than 2 people

    WOW! What an amazing night we had celebrating my friend's 50th birthday. The music and dance floor was 10/10! Drinks and food were fabulous with huge portions and very fresh. Be ready for the music to be very loud during your whole dinner, but the energy will get you on your feet. Order the Paella and plan on being able to share with more than 2 people! It's the best I've ever had. Our service was outstanding. Quick, accommodating and friendly.

    One of my favorite restaurants was Bongos in Disney Springs, and I was thrilled to hear the owners opened this new restaurant. Our server Ana was excellent and so friendly. When I tried my husband's cocktail, she came over to make sure everything was ok with the drinks which was thoughtful. Our food was delicious and so full of flavor. I ordered the Palomilla steak and my husband had the roasted shredded pork. Everything was well seasoned and cooked perfectly. The piano singer was great to listen to even though we don't speak Spanish. The whole restaurant is beautiful and very clean. I would love to come back the next time I'm in the area.

    AMAZING

    That wasn't the first time we went to Estefan. I think at margaritaville area, it's the fanciest place to go. But it's not all dream right? Was shocked when I ordered an draft and they don't have a any draft, that's so sad. So instead we ordered some drinks (for me was pricey as I didn't like it, if I liked was ok) But said that, ordered some coke (really watery), but we went there to meet some friends from another country, so they liked the atmosphere, they do have (I think manager, an old man (if I can say like that) that it's really charismatic, always asking if everything was ok with a big smile in his face. The food it's a must, I always eat the Vaca loka (shredded beef) comes with rice an Cuban beans that were so tasty. The pulled pork it's also amazing. That's a place that you will enjoy, can be loud as they do have live music, but it's honest for the place and price range it's ok for the area

    Such amazing service. Loved the food and the vibe. I even bought a 25 dollar Gloria Estefan shirt. They had a photographer on site. Definitely recommend having your bday here

    Masitas De Puerco

    Place is located in a mall parking will be an issue give yourself some time. Walked in to this upscale trendy place with live Spanish band. The ambiance was fabulous! We were seated right by the stage, we were a party of 10 and our waiter provided good service. We ordered the mixed appetizer platter , empanadas and ceviche, The best one was the empanadas it was an order of 3 each with a different flavorful filling. We all had different entrees and we were all very happy with our selections. To finish off the meal with flan and tres leche which were creamy and satisfying. We definitely return if in the area!

    Ropa vieja
    Yoly R.

    Really enjoyed my first time at Estefan kitchen! The food was very flavorful. I had the ropa vieja. The spicy mango mojito was great as well! The staff was friendly and efficient. It was nice to have this singer playing background tunes. Would definitely go back.

    What a lovely place, beautiful decor and kind people. I celebrated my 40th birthday and my friend couldn't have selected a better place. Many thanks to Ana our server, kind beautiful and informative. And the food was delicious!!

    Masitas de cerdo with smashed yuca.
    Stephanie R.

    My husband and I celebrated our wedding anniversary here and we had the best time! There was a live band with live Latin music and it was so fun! The restaurant is so beautiful, modern, and chic. It's perfect for any occasion. The food was also delicious. We tried the beef empanadas, masitas de cerdo with moro rice and smashed yuca with garlic. Despite being super busy, service was great. It gets very busy especially on weekends so reservations are highly encouraged. Overall, we had an amazing experience and can't wait to go back soon!

    GF MIRIAM'S "SPECIAL" CHICKEN & RICE
    Damion L.

    GF MIRIAM'S "SPECIAL" CHICKEN & RICE Slow braised quartered boneless chicken thighs, roasted red peppers, Estefan Kitchen criollo sauce, yellow rice, olives, green peas, and topped with sweet plantains

    $9 for "Traditional Chicken Soup", I could have gotten a lot more for a lot less at Wawa 1 block East of this location.
    Norberto A.

    Substantial menu selections with high prices, service is ok but not prompt/responsive. Any/all Latin/Spanish are known for large portions compared to pricing, unfortunately they fall very short. Location is convenient and inviting however they appear to pay attention to the outdoor diners as opposed to those inside. My 1st & last time dinning there...

    Fantastic. So glad we came. Seafood paella was fantastic. Waitress was delightful and the atmosphere energetic.

    Does the "happy birthday to you" song play all the time or is there a time during the day or any other day when this song does not play?

    The only time when the Happy Birthday song is not displayed on the big screen is when the live band is playing.

    Is there a kids menu?

    Yes, we do. Mac& Cheese, Burgers, Chicken Nuggets, and Chicken Breast.

    What time is the dinner menu for?

    You need to go to the website because they have different times.

    Is it kid friendly?

    I think so! If I remember correctly they do have a kids menu but nothing on the regular menu is spicy or too complex so my kids happily ate it. My youngest (4) had the mini Cuban sandwiches which is an appetizer and my oldest (8) had the Cuban pork… Read more

We saw the sign on the door saying masks required BUT we didn't have any on us because the mask mandate was lifted a month ago and no where else "requires" a mask. We also observed a gentleman walk out (may may work there) walk out without a mask. When I walked in, I got the coldest look from the woman sitting behind the counter. I asked her if masks were mandatory because of the sign on the door and she said, "it's what the sign says". Because we weren't dining in, I was just going to order it to go anyway. Because of her sour attitude, I took my business elsewhere. I will not be returning here EVER and I wouldn't recommend anyone who expects decent customer service to come here either. We ended up taking our hard earned money and business to Flavors of Jamaica on Osceola Parkway. The vibe and customer service was way better. I hope the older woman sees this and takes heed that you will lose business if you lack customer service.

    Uuuf! That food is DELICIOUS! Portions are perfect! That peas and rice slaps! The service is great!…read moreThey were nice and quick! The place looks really nice! I love the vibe inside. I ordered oxtails w rice and peas and jerk chicken w rice and peas! The fresh juices are on point!

    Craving carribean oxtails and read the reviews on yelp…read more This is located at Kissimmee on Osceola pkwy area in a shopping plaza. Its kind of a challenge getting parking here I guess cause its a weekend and its a busy day to go. Upon entering the music of reggae / carribean music is playing its looked clean. Few tables and bar seating available. There is a section to point and see the array of foods they prepared but this day alot of the foods were covered in lids. I guess its a way to keep foods warm while sitting on the hot steam plate. The oxtail large plate was $25 with 2 sides plus choice of rice. Its a popular dish because when the lady tried to scoop oxtails all she had left in the pan was gravy. She went to the back and got more oxtails. She gave about 8 pcs of mixed sized oxtails. mostly large / medium sizes. She was "Careful" adding gravy and the oxtails as if she was counting how many drips of gravy and how many oxtails she was going to place in the plate - Also she was counting how many sweet plantains she was serving as a side. She gave me about 4-5 pcs of plantains. Seeing this I told her I want the cabbage in a separate container (Since she was careful with giving out the portions) - She then said its going to be $5 for the cabbage since its on a separate container. I was fine with it - even with the cabbage she was careful filling the container to the rim. This is why I decreased a star - Cabbage is cheap and plantains is cheap - Why so careful with these sides? I am paying a $25 plate - It should show that is how much food I am paying for. I am not sure if she was the owner (Light skinned older lady) - If she is then she should not be that cheap with portions especially on a high priced tag plate on her menu. They had array of fresh made juices I am unsure if they make them or they have a vendor - But they offered "Peanut Punch". Arizona cans (Tall) are $1 - I think those are the cheapest drink you can get in there. I saw someone just went in there and bout a few cans of arizona cans only. Jamaican patties are $3 - they offer curry and jerk chicken, mild, spicy. They had sold out of the mild patty - So I opted for the curry chicken patty. I asked about "Peanut porridge" that I read on yelp that was available only on weekends - But the lady asked me if I meant "peanut punch".. I was not sure but she said the Peanut Punch was $5. I asked for the frozen bottle since I had no plans on drinking the drink until a few days later. Let's talk about the food - Oxtails - The meats were fall off the bone and the gravy was thick and savory - however I think the taste - I like Golden crust gravy better as in taste. Golden crust gravy had more umami but this gravy is not bad - It was just kind of thick for my liking. The oxtails were def delicious though. Tender meat and like I said fall off the bone. Rice and Peas - This rice had a subtle coconut milk flavor in the rice itself - little sprinkles of the peas (beans) not much - It was ok rice .. It was dry for my liking - The oxtail gravy helped moistened the rice. Sweet Plantains - These were delicious. Sliced slanted and had the good amount of chew and sweetness. Just like the rice - Plantains are plantains they are either soggy or firm or just the right bite. Cabbage - These were ok - they were slightly bitter and overcooked. Somewhat too soft soggy cabbage. It had hints of sliced carrots - It needed more broth and black pepper taste to them. Curry chicken patty - These were delicious. The patty dough was delicious. The curry chicken was shredded chicken in curry and the hint of spice kicks in towards the bottom of the patty. No wonder they sell alot of the patties - They are delicious. I have not tried the peanut punch as yet - But I will update review once I do taste the drink.

    I know Golden Crust Food and I've never been a fan, BUT their patty's are always on point. Not only…read morewere THESE patty's not good, the customer service was awful. I do love the ambiance of the restaurant, but the "young" lady who was in there was so unpleasant, so unfriendly, so unbothered, and so unconcerned. We waited 15 minutes before she acknowledged we were there. I understand that there are orders coming in from Uber, etc. At least acknowledge us and then continue. We only wanted 4 patties and a drink. The patty's were inconsistent. Some meaty and some barely with meat. But they all tasted the same, tasteless. They were not the Golden Crust patty's that I am use to. At least if the patty's were good, I could overlook the service, but I'm sure I won't be back.

    If you are looking for disgusting food cooked days ago, this is the place to go…read more I ordered oxtail, which was to come with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. The plantains were missing, the oxtail was horribly seasoned and didn't taste like oxtails. I also ordered jerk chicken, which clearly was not jerked today. I could not eat it. Had to just take the L and eat the festival. The oxtail was tougher than Clarissa Shields and Tesehki Malone combined. I called them to let them know that the meal did not match the description on the UberEats app and that the jerk chicken was stale. The person who answered tried to lie to me about the chicken being jerked today. I told her I could share pictures and her response was "I can share pictures too". Well, here are the pictures... If you want proper jerk chicken in Orlando, cross this place off the list. At least you can get fresh jerk chicken and rice and peas from CARIBBEAN SUNSHINE BAKERY. Avoid Golden Crust at all costs. The restaurants in Miami would be disappointed if they knew that they were up here selling foolishness to people.
