    Outside the marketplace.
    Dan J.

    A hidden gem located in the Mount Dora Marketplace. In the back of this building full of little shops. The arepas were good. We had the chicken and cheese and a plain cheese arepas. A place to visit for a quick meal. Sorry forgot to take a picture.

    Shared a perfectly prepare sweet corn arepas with pulled pork for lunch prepared by Chef Diego Tarazona. A visit to Melo is well worth your time if interested in an authentic Columbian Stuffed Arepas.

    Melo's Colombian Stuffed Arepas and More offer delicious arepas and burgers. The arepas are flavorful and the burgers are satisfying. If you're a fan of Colombian cuisine, this place is worth a visit!

    Inside the market place is this great little spot- prices are bit high for the size but the food was good. It's a quick service and a great spot for lunch.

    My favorite place to come visit here in downtown mount dora! Great people, great location and vibes and fantastic food

    Half pork arepa! Was too tasty to wait
    Rafael S.

    Excellent find! This is great alternative for light lunch in this area. The young man preparing the food (not sure if owner) was very attentive and his service was phenomenal. Food itself is well made and delicious. Price is very reasonable for the quality of food served . Will certainly return.

    Chicken Arepo
    Monika S.

    If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would. Located inside Mount Dora Marketplace, next to Wolf Branch Brewing. Hubby and I love breweries, so we went to Wolf Branch (excellent beers btw) and we were hungry so the beertender told us our option of the restaurants adjacent to the brewery and he highly recommended Melo, said their Arepos were excellent. We'd never heard of an Arepo, and the description sounded right up my alley...Hubby, he never wants to try anything new, decided to give it a try as well. We both got the chicken, mine with hot sauce, hubby's without. HOLY MOLY!!!!!! DELICIOUS!!! Even hubby loved it .I can't wait to go back to get another one.

    Ordered a chicken empanada it was so delicious. The sauce on the side was such a good choice. The girl who made my food was so nice!

    What an incredible gem in Deland!…read more Parva is a delightful restaurant, bar, and bakery right on Woodland Blvd. The entire staff was warm and welcoming, and the service was excellent throughout our time here. We arrived early for our reservation and grabbed seats at the bar. We were immediately greeted with a smile and extensive menus! This menu is so vast, it reminded me of the Cheesecake Factory in the best way. There is truly something for everyone here. Carnivores, vegetarians, vegans, you name it. I opted for the vegetarian "Vegetable Bowl" and my husband went for the fajitas after another guest recommended both items. The cilantro sauce and the caramelized plantains were my favorite part of the Vegetable bowl, and my husband loved every bite of his fajitas. Everything was hot, fresh, and it arrived quickly. There are a number of different dining areas here and we loved sitting in the back dining room in a comfy booth. Even though other diners were present, it felt like we had the place to ourselves because the tables are spaced far enough apart that there's plenty of personal space. No need to shout to hear your dining companions. All in all we loved Parva and look forward to coming back on our next trip to Deland.

Having a bar was something I didn't expect to see but definitely a plus for the restaurant. The bakery is small but looks like it's serving its purpose to provide customers with some variety Latin bakery goods. Our two parties ordered chicken and churrasco bowls, respectively, and definitely did not disappoint. Good size portion and flavored for enjoyment. Our server was very attentive and he continuously checked on us while not in a disruptive fashion. Will definitely make a return visit.

    I've been coming to Super Rico for YEARS now after a friend of mine introduced me to them one night…read moreafter a night of bar-hopping (back when night life in DTO was a vibe pre-pandemic). The food has always been GREAT. The service and staff have always been great. They are not overly priced and they offer a good amount of food for what it is you are paying for. Flavor profiles are great. I am creature of habit, so I get my usuals when I order here. Among those usuals include the yuca fries, beef empanadas, guava and cheese empanada (when I want something sweet), the plantains, the tostadas, and I also enjoy their bowls. I've never had their burgers or some of their other platters, but I know those that have and they have yet to be disappointed. Being that Super Rico is located on the ground level of the parking garage my job uses, it is a restaurant I frequent. They are pretty quaint inside with limited seating, but they do have a good amount of outdoor seating with covered umbrellas. So, as long as the summer rain isn't too heavy, it is usually quite nice sitting outside to eat. They will also set up screens outdoors when there are major games, like they did for the World Cup. So, if you're ever looking for a spot to watch sports, they definitely do accommodate.

Service was super friendly and helpful - they made us feel right at home! We ordered the carne asada con tostones ($16), empanadas ($2.25 each), chorizo con arepa ($5), and the sancocho soup special ($14.50), and everything was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and packed with flavor. The empanadas were crispy and well-seasoned, and the chorizo was wonderful. But the highlight had to be the sancocho soup. It was so flavorful and filling. If they have it when you go, don't skip it! Highly recommend checking this place out if you're craving authentic Colombian food. I'll definitely be back!

    I passed Colombia La Bella several times while in town and finally was able to stop in for dinner…read more My wife is Colombian so I am always sceptical of Colombia food and it's authenticity. When I sat down and read the little menu card of desserts they had on every table and notice tiramisu was offered I was wildly skeptical. But that is where it ended. What an amazing and authentic Colombian restaurant. I ordered the beans and rice with Maduros and everything was perfect! You may know Colombian food is very heavy otherwise I would have liked to order more but I had to save a little room for dessert. One true sign of an authentic Colombian restaurant is their breads (Pan de bono was served and it was amazing) and their dessert. Not tiramisu but brevas con queso. This is truly Colombian and is great when you can find it. This is a nice and clean restaurant with real Colombian food. I highly recommend it.

    We met friends here for lunch. We arrived at 1pm on a Sunday. As we waited the restaurant became…read morevery busy. We ordered the mini beef empanadas. They were yummy. We loved the picante. For lunch we ordered the ceviche. Thank goodness we shared it because it's massive! Sweet potatoes, fried calamari, and tostones all came with it. We barely finished it between the two of us. Our friends ordered the prime rib and the traditional dish of Cazuela de frijoles. The prime rib steak was pretty fatty. But they ate most of it. The traditional dish was also huge! She had a lot of leftovers to take home. While we were eating a man came in to preform on the stage. He played guitar and sang. It wasn't too loud, and we were right next to the stage. Our waiter was very nice. He was also making the drinks. I had a passion fruit juice. It was delicious but I think they use something processed, out of a plastic bottle that they add water to... I would probably go back. The prices are very reasonable and the food and service is very good.

The bartender was a bit serious that's why I gave this place a 4, yet in his defense it was only 2 bartenders for a full house so it bot have been overwhelming. This place has both indoor and outdoor seating. Parking is shared with other businesses in the same area so at Peak times you may need to go around to find a spot.

The restaurant itself wasn't too large and had a bathroom in the back. They were able to clear a table for us and sat us down in good time. A man (possibly the owner?) came up to take our order and was very sweet asking us about our day how we were doing. Both my mom and I ordered the Churrasco la Estancia (my mom subbed plantains instead of fries) and my sister ordered the Pescado a lo Macho since she was craving fried fish. The churrasco was amazing, perfectly cooked, seasoned well and so so good with the chimichurri(?) sauce on top. My mom let me try some of her plantains and I wish I got those instead of my fries! We all loved the rice as well, something about the soft, flavorful fluffiness of it made it great. My sister was also very content with her fried fish and we were both pleasantly surprised by the fish stew that came with it. The type of plantains she got with that dish weren't our favorite though. The food came out in good time, but we had to come up and ask for the check because one of the waitresses was busy talking to another customer. Overall the food was great though and I told my mom I'd love to come again the next time we visit the area!
