    Don't expect a refund if they didn't serve you your food. This place has absolutely no concept of Customer Service.

    Took my wife out earlier today for brunch. There was nothing on the menu that I could say I didn't…read morelike, but what I ordered was the sandwich called El Chamo. It's basically a 12 inch sandwich that comes with grilled chicken grilled steak, lettuce, tomato onions, and a cilantro style sauce with a little bit of mayo ketchup, which was toasted and served with an order of french fries was unbelievable and it was only $13.99 My wife went and ordered a meal called a 911 basically what it is is fried chunks of pork with grilled chicken and Mofongo with also a couple of pieces of toasted garlic bread, which she could only eat half the other half she had to bring back home that was only $19.99 this man's restaurant was highlighted by Guy Fieri show "Triple D" about five years ago and I see why.. excellent food and service goes along long way. I couldn't provide pictures this time because we were so hungry. I didn't even think about taking a photo for my peeps.

    Popped into this little gem…read more I ordered a steak, chicken and pastrami jibarito, and a chicken and pork Pincho for take out. Food is prepared as you order, so it's gonna take a bit be patient it's worth it. Food was delicious. The pastrami (I've never had) was my favorite. All the ingredients paired well. Mmm. The Pinchos were delicious and the garlic bread was too. Definitely a hot.

    Pa' Los Chinos is a great new restaurant for Puerto Rican style Chinese food that is located in the…read moresame shopping plaza as the Sam's Club basically on the corner of East Colonial Drive and Goldenrod Road. Puerto Rico has its own twist on Chinese food and Pa' Los Chinos does a good job at this unique cuirolls. The outside is showing its age a bit, but the inside was clean and pleasant enough in a no-frills type way. I went with the chile chicken combination (served with fried rice and French fries) and a Philly style egg roll. Both were very good and the chile chicken combination gave quite a bit of food. The ordering process is you order at the counter and they give you a buzzer (at least they gave me one since mine was to go). My buzzer buzzed and I was on my way in a decent enough amount of time. Again, the food was very good and I would definitely recommend a visit here.

My husband usually can't eat Mofongo because they mash it with butter, but here they mash it fresh so they were able to omit the butter and use oil. The restaurant is clean. There's music playing but not too loud. We will definitely be back.

    Here's your review:…read more --- I have lived here my whole life and probably driven past Crocante a thousand times without ever stopping. From the outside you would never guess what is waiting for you inside. Tucked within a plaza this place is stunning, big, beautiful and feels like a full trip to a high end Puerto Rican dining experience the moment you walk through the door. We went on a Saturday night without a reservation and were still seated at a communal high top which we did not mind at all. We started with the alcapurrias and although they were on the smaller side the flavor was insane. For my main I had the mofongo and churrasco and wow. The best mofongo I have had. They put actual pieces of chicharrón inside which gave it the most incredible texture contrast. The churrasco was cooked to perfection and came already sliced into strips with an incredible chimichurri sauce on the side. My fiancé ordered the rice and beans with fried chicken and we loved every bite. The passion fruit juice was also amazing and a must order. The one thing to note is that our food took about 45 minutes to come out and our server did not check on us in the meantime for refills or to give us a heads up about the wait. That part could use some improvement. But the food was so incredibly good that we are absolutely coming back. Hidden gem that deserves way more recognition.

    My mother recently came to Los Pinchos De Mi Abuela and loved it so I had to try it for myself…read more They have reasonable prices for the amount of food you receive. When you walk up to the truck you are greeted by the friendly workers who advise you to place your order on the screen and if you need assistance they are more than happy to help. Once your order is placed they will send you a text message when it's ready. They do have a little canopy area with tables and seating, but it's so hot to be outside I opted to wait and eat in my car. We waited about 30 minutes before receiving our food and once we received it you could tell everything was freshly made. We ordered a combo that came with 2 pinchos, 2 pieces of bread, 2 orders of loaded fries,2 mofongo balls. And 2 drinks. The pincho meat is big meaty chunks and well seasoned. These were some of the biggest pinchos I've found in Orlando and the price was really reasonable. The loaded fries were ok, just typical fries with bacon and cheese. These mofongo balls had good seasoning, they weren't dry at all, and the perfect portion. The garlic bread was good as well and was soft. Overall everything was great! The seasoning on all the food was perfect, the portions were more than enough, and the prices extremely reasonable. The only negative I have to say is that it took long for us to receive the food but everything was freshly made and I appreciate all the hard work they do during the extremely hot fl summer.

It's a food truck that I have to say the skewer kings dropped into my lap. Chicken and pork skewers that are plentiful and fresh. Don't get me wrong I spent $95 but it was well worth it plus the wait. I will be going back. The little mofongo balls and chicken wings were off the hook too I want to see this place succeed and some day have there own restaurant‼

    I was a bit disappointed with both the service and the food during my visit…read more While the food had good flavor, it was not served very hot. The yuca was hard, though I asked for the softest pieces from the bottom, if you know about Yuca you know what I mean. I had gone wanting the roast chicken but right when it got to my turn to place my order, they had run out. So I got the pork. I specifically asked the employee for pieces with less fat, and she responded in a way that seemed annoyed. Unfortunately, the pork I received was nearly half fat, even though I requested less fat and more meat. The worst was the piece of pork skin, it was soggy, any Puerto Rican or Cuban will tell you this is No Bueno The rice was probably the best part of the meal, even though it was not served very hot. Overall, for the price I paid, I expected better food quality, customer service, and consistency. I may give it another opportunity if I'm in the area again and it's earlier in the day though I went on a weekday right after work, 5 ish to be exact but it should be consistent.

The cafeteria set up allowed us to see what we were ordering as we walked along and said or pointed at what we wanted. I tried using some of my limited Spanish vocabulary to order our food. 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.

    My friend took me out to eat at this restaurant for lunch. I asked her if it had good reviews and…read moreshe said that she didn't know. She said she only checked what was on the menu. 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.
