I eat here a lot of times on the way home from the airport, it's in the parking lot of a Persian market I like to go to to buy Halloumi cheese. The best thing to get here is the pork pincho with all the sauces he makes, they are so delicious. One is a bbq type sauce and another is a garlic sauce. This pork is so tasty! go get some now only $3 read more

There was a hankering for late night empanadas. A little after 9pm, I head out onto Semoran to see if any Latin food trucks were open to satisfy the craving. I came across Pinchomania and recalled in the back of my mind that they generally received great reviews. I park in the small lot and review their menu to find they have empanadas! But the friendly gentleman working within the truck popped out to inform me they only have them for breakfast. Slightly disappointed, but I already drove up and down Semoran, was hungry and didn't want to waste anymore time. No empanadas? No problem. I remember Aaron H's Choripan picture and 4 star rating. That's settled.. Choripan it is! I patiently waited when another customer came up to order a Tripleta. Excellent choice I thought to myself. I love Tripletas. So there we were, waiting for our sandwiches when I peeked in the truck and saw the cook pull out a pack of what looked to be lunch meat brand Pastrami. You know the zip lock pack you can buy for $3.99 at any supermarket. Looked like a generic brand too. Ohhh boy, this doesn't bode too well. I took note and hoped for the best. I received my Chorpan and under the rainy night, it looked great. A generous sandwich with butterflied sausage within. Great! Then when I got home and looked at it under the light, it looked more like a hot dog than a sausage! When I read Choripan on the menu, I'm thinking Spanish style Chorizo sausage. Not the case. As I bit into the roll, the consistency of the sausage was that of a jumbo hot dog. When the flavor hit my tongue, it finally occurred to me. This isn't Chorizo, this is supermarket bought Hillshire Farms-esque smoked "sausage"! We've all seen the sausage brand curled in plastic packaging in the fridge section next to hotdogs and microwaveable breakfast items. What a let down. I understand this is street food, but for a Latin truck, I expected some authenticity to the food. Not supermarket brand, processed meats. When I thought I couldn't be let down any more, I saw what looked and tasted to be processed Kraft American cheese in the roll. What a shame. I ate half the sandwich because I was hungry. Then picked out the "sausage" from the other half and dispersed it to my cats. I'm sure their pinchos and empanadas are fantastic. But using generic supermarket meats to pass them off as authentic Latin fare left me feeling a bit cheated. I would have given 1 star, but their other menu items seem legit and the fellow taking my order was customer friendly. If I make my way back to Pinchomania, I'll know to steer clear of their sandwiches. read more

Pinchomania - Disappointing Choripan. - Food Stands Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I found this gem of a food truck while at the Plaza Theater's Food Truck Heaven event. The food isn't fussy, trendy or gourmet it's authentic Latin American street food. If you close your eyes while eating here you will be transported to a street in Buenos Aires, Caracas, Santiago, or San Juan. The taste is day dreamy and inspires visions of travel trips or a guest appearance on No Reservations: Latin America episode. Except for a lot cheaper price. All items where 6 bucks or under. A run down of the items: Pinchos - $3 Pepitos - $6 Empanadas - $2 Choripan - $6 Alcapurria - $2 Tripleta - $6 Soda - $1 We ordered the Chicken Pinchos it's a grilled skewer and was a hit. We loved these. The chicken was very flavorful and succulent. This was my husbands favorite. The beef empanada had a great crunchy crust which was exploding inside with slightly spicy and juicy shredded beef. Every bite was amazing. I was also very intrigued by the Choripan which is a chorizo sandwich which is very popular in Argentina, Chile, Peru, Puerto Rico and Uruguay. Chorizo fans don't want to miss out on this. We are now avid fans of this truck and will be going back to their location on Semoran. read more

I stopped by at this truck last Wednesday when it was at the food truck get-together behind Firestone. I didn't eat anything from here (I ordered an empanada, but was told that they weren't ready yet; the other employees in the truck were busy making them), but will do my best to do so the next time I see this truck. I would've waited for the empanada(s), but I was very hungry and couldn't resist going to some of the other trucks at the event, so I moved on. The employee with whom I interacted was helpful and described to me what the menu items I was curious about were. Based on the existing reviews, I'm eager to eat something from here and hope to do so soon. Hopefully, the truck will be at the event this week or at another one in the not-so-distant future. read more

Pinchomania - Here's Pinchomania's menu from the food truck event at Firestone on Aug. 3, 2011. - Food Stands Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This truck is no longer here. Another similar looking one is in its place and it is run by different people. When I ordered a tripleta, they pulled out some steak-um looking meat and began cooking. I casually asked the person what had happened to the other people and she replied that they were no longer here. I declined the sandwich and left the location. I won't be returning here again. read more
