    Cuban sandwich topped with ham croquetas and sweet plantains on the side

    Not very busy, quick service, authentic cuban food and one of the best sandwiches I've had. Mojito was perfectly balanced and not too sweet. The guayaba (guava) pastry was warm, crispy, and delicious. Highly recommend and will be coming back. Decorations and wood furniture created nice vibes

    Club Sandwich

    It's a spacious location. Parking was easy. I was seated right away. Waitress was very polite and attentive. I was seated on a the booth. You can eat in or order to go from the food bar ready to go. The sangria was good. I ordered the Churrasco, medium. The food came out pretty fast and cooked as ordered. The portion was generous, enough to have left overs for dinner. It was after my food came out that I noticed they have a fly issue on the booths closer to the restrooms. I hope that's addressed soon. The food is good but be sure to ask for a table and not a booth to avoid that issue. The food gets 4 stars. The overall experience (with flies) is 3.

    The food! The food is great, my dad and I travel alot together for work and stumbling across Abdele at this restaurant was great. Her hospitality and imagine the rest of the staff being the same. This a good stop! Must eat here if you're in orlando.

    Cafe con leche

    Had a late brunch with my adult kid here and they never disappoint. The place is a vibe of old ranching life with lots of Cuban decor. Service was pleasant. Food was hot and delicious! My kid enjoyed his sandwich and I loved my breakfast the Cuban bread dipped in the cafe con leche.... Chefs kiss!

    Cheese pastry wow
    Paul R.

    Love the food, the service is good and the ambiance is good. The beef patties are amazing and the cheese pastry is amazing and the coffee is the best! Cuban coffee with steamed milk.

    Roasted Pork Shoulder Plate

    Food - authentic Cuban cooking. Excellent flavors. Great selections including pork, steak and chicken meals and of course Cuban sandwiches. Large portions, traditional Latin drinks. The food was amazing. We tried the ham croquettes, chicharrones, and sliced pork with rice and beans and yuca. Everything was delicious Service- polite, friendly, professional. Helpful in recommending customer favorites Ambience -family style, tables and booths, bar service and entertainment area. This is a great spot for dates, business meetings and family dinners.

    Our team eats here each time we travel into Orlando. The food is consistently very good, there are a lot of options, pricing is reasonable, and the staff are outstanding. This is an excellent place for lunch as a group as everyone can find something that fits their palette.

    I had hopes that I finally found an authentic cuban cafe in Orlando but was sadly disappointed! I ordered a classic Cuban sandwich and it was mediocre. The bread was a little stale and lacked a good ratio of pickles/mustard/meat. The coffee was okay- again for a cuban restaurant you expect them to have the best cafe con leche but that was not the case here.

They have a few nice craft beers on tap and the most amazing hummus platter ever. So many places give you a tiny dollop of hummus, a few crackers and if you're lucky a few cut up carrots. Not here, you get a giant amount of hummus - you get house made lavash - and you get beautiful baby medium sized carrots and all of that is only $8 on happy hour. The hummus is very flavorful with a tiny kick and the lavash is super crunchy with an amazing seasoning on it that reminds me of "everything bagel seasoning". You'll see two different pictures - these were taken a year or more apart but you can see things have barely changed. You always get the amazing crackers and carrots and a huge amount of hummus. They also have a few great wines by the glass on happy hour, some yummy sliders, and now a pepperoni pizza that looks awesome but I haven't tried yet.

Other than that, the food was great. I sampled a few items of the apps that people ordered. From what I can remember, the truffle fries really stood out. For my entree, I got the chopped elk medium cooked. It was fantastic. Very delicious and almost tasted like a really beefy meatloaf. Not gamey at all. The sauce drizzled on it was so savory. I wished there were more mashed potatoes underneath because those were amazing too. It was also a very big portion. Definitely recommend. Would come back again and try something else or even order that again.

This flavor was not good. The crispy bacon was ok. Had black marks on it that I could not u sweat and from cooking. My son's two eggs, half order of biscuits and gravy with bacon he enjoyed.

I really like the spot in particular they have a drive-through so if I'm in my car or making errands, I can just do the drive-through. The person doing the drive-through and making the coffee is very quick. I've only been waiting about 3 to 5 minutes so far. Just took a sip of my friends coffee that I got him and it tastes amazing. I will definitely be stopping at Foxtail more often. !!

The service is honestly the only reason I would give this location a positive rating. Our waiter was nice and would refill our drinks without even asking. I also noticed that the executive chef would bring out the food somtimes to other tables and was very nice. The food unfortunately was a miss for me and expensive. A 6oz steak was 25$$ on their menu. I ordered the wings as an appetizer. They came out super fast but they were dry and lacking in sauce. I ordered the Classic burger. It was lacking in flavor as if it had no salt or seasoning on it and the fries were soggy and rubbery at the same time with no flavor. My parter had the chicken (fried) wrap and it was also soggy and lacking flavor. If you are looking for tavern food, just go to ale house around the corner or chickfila for a chicken wrap. I am very disappointed I doubt I will go a third time.
