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.

I will review this restaurant in real time. The wait was a bit long just to get a table in the…read moremiddle of the afternoon, but to their credit, it's a small eat in and take out establishment on Goldenrod, very casual dining and with typical Puerto Rican decorations. They have bench seats and independent chairs. They do not have outdoor tables. About the service... long wait all around. I ordered a Coke Zero, they brought a can with a straw- I would say very reminiscent of what you would get in a kiosk in Puerto Rico, but other tables got a cup and ice. Maybe it's upon request? My husband ordered Perrier, or soda water, but they don't have any. It could be that they only serve canned drinks, not from a machine. So he got water, refills come very rarely. So far trickling slow. Every time I decide to do a "realtime review", something happens that it makes the service very slow. They play Latin music in the background. Food's here. Hubby ordered the pinchos with tostones one thing he noticed right away is that the pinchos aren't grilled. I ordered a pork pincho with mofongo and I have to agree, these are deep fried (carne frita). The tostones were good, he said. My pincho is very fatty and the flavor is ok, not seasoned as I would expect. The mofongo is on point, with crispy bits of pork rinds. The bill reflects a 4% increase if you use a credit card, regardless of your party size. I might come back and try some other items, though. Better luck next time.

Everything I had was delicious flavored and seasoned well. When we first arrive on a Sunday afternoon it was a little quiet and then the line begin to build up.At this point, it continued to be busy and I can understand why. Prices are extremely reasonable and I would come back any day for lunch or dinner. I see they open early so I would be open to trying their breakfast as well love love love having all of these options in one place. Atmosphere was clean and maintained. The staff was pleasant.

We are beyond grateful to this restaurant for catering our wedding. The food and picadera were…read moreabsolutely outstanding. We had a winter wedding, and every single guest was happy, full, and kept asking us where the food was from. Each pan was loaded to the rim with food, showing how generous and thoughtful they were. The flavors were authentic, comforting, and truly felt like real Puerto Rican home-style cooking. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. It meant so much to us to share our culture through the food, and they delivered above and beyond our expectations. Thank you for being such an important part of our special day. We highly recommend them for any event -- you will not be disappointed.

They have a new number old one is no longer in service 407-413-5177…read more This place is very quiet there was no one inside when I went inside for lunch. I placed a huge order for lunch staff. Everyone was super nice and friendly. Food was made fresh to order, they are under new management they are now a mix of both Puerto Rican and Mexican food. Their menu has been updated and they are open to requests. Give this place a try if you're in town.

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.

Absolutely horrible experience and atmosphere, NOT a family friendly location. I came with my…read moreautistic toddler and 5 year old niece. While waiting for our food my toddler began to cry as he was tired and hungry and again, he's a toddler. This location's response to a crying child was to raise the music volume and tune him out. The volume was so loud I could barely hear my niece sitting across from me. Clearly, trying to tune out a crying toddler with loud music was not the solution and only made him worse. I had to take him outside in the Florida heat to calm him while we waited for our food. So unless you want to eat somewhere that being a literally child is apparently a sin and a bother, avoid this place at all costs. I should've noticed the red flags when the family bathroom was absolutely disgusting with soiled trash on the floor and had no changing table. Never coming back here again, absolutely appalling customer service.

The whole dish was delicious. That chimichurri sauce was out of this world. It just completed the dish to perfection. My waitress, Samarie, was polite and very attentive. She took my order promptly. My food was out in no time. The restaurant is located in a small plaza. Parking might be limited around dinner time. I was there a little earlier so I had no problem parking.

We first found Crocante at the Winter Park Farmers Market and tried their pork porchetta sandwich,…read morewhich was amazing. Once we found out they had a restaurant, we knew we had to check it out. The restaurant itself is beautiful inside with great vibes and a nice atmosphere. Our first visit was mostly good, but I would not recommend the tripleta. All you taste is the burnt tortilla, and it wasn't like a typical tripleta sandwich. The second time we went was for a graduation celebration, and sadly most of the food was a miss. The grilled chicken and sauces were especially disappointing--expensive, bland, and not something I'd order again. The drinks were also disappointing and tasted more like sugary syrup than actual cocktails or fresh drinks. We chalked it up to maybe being an off day. That being said, we also ordered catering for the graduation before the unfortunate dinner, and the catering was amazing. We ordered pernil, leg porchetta, arroz con gandules, and roasted whole chicken. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and well done with no complaints at all. I just wish the dine-in experience matched the catering and food truck experience better. Overall, I would still recommend Crocante because when they're good, they're really good. The service was okay, nothing special, but not bad either. The space is beautiful, the vibes are great, and some items are definitely worth trying.

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.

Someone at the clinic I'm covering spoke about this place and man let me tell you once I found out…read moreit was minutes from home I had to f*#k around and find out lol. 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‼

Best pernil in town. Coming from a born and raised boricua! I don't know why this place has 3.5/5…read more I truly loved their food. It seems a bit overpriced for a LECHONERA but they really fill up those plates. There is usually a line but that just means the food is good and fresh. They keep coming out with trays of food and you can not only see them cooking the pork in the back but you can SMELL it. We ordered the "Para probar de to" which brought 1/2 a chicken, pork, rice, a side of your choice and morcilla (blood sausage) and it was $19. We ordered two of those to feed a family of 5 and we had left overs to take home. We paid about $60 to feed a family of 5 including drinks. The pork was delicious, the chicken was good, rice was good, yuca was delicious, morcilla was good! They do have dessert but we didn't get any this time. We we're stuffed. They also have a food truck selling Puerto Rican ice cream outside. They had a small crown, seems like it's popular. I plan on trying out some flavors when I come back to try the desserts.

To order you just follow the line, pick your food items, and then pay. They give a good amount of food, all the people in front of me were getting containers filled to the top. Today I just ordered the meat stuffed sweet plantains. They were hot, stuffed with lots of meat, and well seasoned. They always are cooking and chopping up pork and chicken as well. Perfect spot if you're in the mood for Spanish food.

The service was cool too as I'm from out of town and had no experience with this kind of food and the server walked me through all the options cause there's a ton! I was able to try a lot, even the pastries, since my family was with me but honestly everything looked delicious so I don't think you can go wrong anywhere. I would definitely recommend for out of towners as I'm sure the locals already know given how packed it was.
