A lot of love was put into cooking all the food, just like going to your grandma's house for gathering. As for the staff, they make sure you get a generous portion on the food you picked.

One section has Chinese dishes but majority is Latin. The server said it's Dominican influenced. My favorite is the sancocho. It was hat, very flavorful and the meat tasted Smokey. The goat was a little tough but still chewable. The oxtail was savory and very tender. The octopus ceviche was citrusy sweet. It's a great deal, if unsure about what to order.

Flavorful Latin comfort food and delicious desserts…read more Stopped by Sofrito Latin Cafe in Orlando and ordered the pulled pork plate, cachapas, and a Nutella empanada. The pulled pork was tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. It was well-seasoned and paired nicely with the sides, making for a hearty and satisfying meal. The cachapas were a slightly sweet, soft, and comforting with a delicious filling that balanced the corn flavor beautifully. For dessert, I tried the Nutella empanada, and it was the perfect sweet ending to the meal. The pastry was warm and crispy, while the Nutella filling was rich and indulgent without being overly heavy. Service was friendly and welcoming, and the staff made the experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. The vibe is casual and cozy, with a neighborhood café feel that makes you want to linger a little longer. It feels like a hidden gem where the focus is on flavorful food and warm hospitality. Overall, a great spot for Latin comfort food with generous portions and authentic flavors. I'd definitely come back to try more items from the menu.

I requested a garlic sauce, sometimes referred to as mojo sauce. I described it as a tangy garlic…read moresauce with a lighter, more liquid consistency. What was brought to the table appeared to be sautéed onions with garlic. I politely explained that this wasn't what I was expecting and that I had anticipated a sauce with a thinner consistency. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably confrontational and he insisted that what had been served was the sauce I was describing. The interaction became uncomfortable, and the server continued to give us what felt like dirty looks for the remainder of our visit. The situation left us feeling unwelcome and ultimately made us want to leave. I've included a photo so others can decide for themselves whether what was served matches the description of a garlic/mojo sauce.

When I got there the smell of garlic from the place reminded me of mofongo some people like my…read moresister wouldn't really enjoy that smell but is definitely a very Latin cuisine. We got there a few minutes before they put all their food out sadly, but we did order some food from their menu. The empanadas were ok, and I really enjoyed my media noche. The place was clean and the bathroom too. Definitely will recommend this place.

The wait to place an order, as well as receive our food and drinks, was longer than expected, and the food could have been better. The Pulpo a la Brasa was overcooked and dry, and the Smoked Old Fashioned was just okay. As the night went on, the atmosphere shifted more into a Latin lounge or nightclub vibe. That may appeal to some who are looking for that kind of setting during or after dinner. I will say, it was nice listening to the live saxophone player, which added a nice touch to the ambiance. Overall, not what I was hoping for, and I don't see myself returning.

For unbeatable pricing, the food we got as incredibly well-seasoned and well portioned. I recommend any of the ethnic dishes as my group tried about half of what was on display and they all tasted great. We ate two plates there and also took food to go. The oxtail was cooked exactly as it should be where the collagen is nice and chewy, with meat falling off the bone. All the meat we tried was moist and tender. For $4 you can get hefty empanadas and we tried and loved the chicken, beef and cheese filled ones. The tamale was also delicious. The food looked like it was made with wholesome ingredients and care. The cortadito was nice and strong - incredibly efficient for a small shot as we woke up after eating all that food. They serve a variety of drink flavors like guayabano and mamey. I got a mamey smoothie and enjoyed the creamy almost melon-like but novel flavor for me. For novelty, value, and delicious cultural cuisine, this place etched a core memory in that we paid more at whole foods and got more thrill from the flavorful experience at Papazzito Coffee Bar.
