The pictures looked beautiful so I wanted to give this place a try on our way back to Tampa. Unfortunately, I must've gone on the wrong day because my food was NOTHING like the pics. The fried chicken wasn't bad, it had flavor and the tostones were nice and crispy. We didn't care for the rest though. The arroz con gandules was the driest I have ever had! The carne frita/maditas de cerdo had NO seasoning. I was so shocked! They tasted like unseasoned pork and oil! I was so disappointed because I wanted those so bad. The alcapurria de carne was ok, but nothing I would crave or come back for. There was no ac and it was like 90 degrees outside. If I lived local I would've taken the food to go but unfortunately, I had to sit there and suffer to eat one of the sorriest excuses for puerto rican food I've had so far. I really wanted to like this place but unfortunately for us it was a big miss. The ladies working there didn't look happy to be there but neither would I if I had to work in those conditions! It was like a sauna! read more

I really enjoyed my meal at Piñones En Orlando. I've eaten from their truck in the past, and this was my first time in the restaurant. The lady at the register was patient with me as I stumbled through my broken Spanish. She didn't suggest switching to English, so I must have been speaking reasonably well. So I ordered the carne frita (fried pork) with a side of tostones. When I go to any Latin restaurant, I have to try the tostones. Ever since Rice & Beans closed I've been on the quest for some good tostones. Piñones' tostones (no rhyme intended) were decent, but not quite what I hoped for. The star of the meal was the carne frita. It was hot, juicy and flavorful. I'll likely try it again in a mofongo. read more

Went in for food about 1:30 asked if there was a lunch menu and was told no. "on website they have it" The menu in the counter were old outdated with tape marking the change in prices. Should have walked out with the look of the place and menu, however, we decided to give them a chance . We ordered a soup and it was ok, the alcappuria we order were ok too but then we order baccaluitos that were to thin and over cooked because they were so thin. The worst part after a bowl of soup, two alcappuria, one Malta and a baccallitos with tip came to $40. So for food that was subpar it was overpriced . In my opinion not worth it. Could have eaten in At large varies of Spanish take out for much less. read more

Being that I was visiting Orlando the week of July 28 I was on the hut for authentic Puerto Rican food especially an alcapurria so I went to several places, and to my surprise I couldn't find one, but I did end up finding one in this food truck, we had to wait because the food truck was setting up so I ordered 2 to and a shrimp ceviche which this I do not recommend the second I tried it , it had a fishy smell and then a fishy taste that's a no for me it was not good a waste of my money as I threw it away, NOW the Alcaprrias were phenomenal and definitely recommend! I did completely forget to snap photos as I was in the car and on the rush as I was about to hit the road back home read more

The mofongo is like butter. I've been coming since it was a food truck and still the best mofongo in Orlando. Doesn't even need sauce you can eat it plain! read more

I came for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. I drove quite a while to get here. When I got here at 12 they weren't open , I waited another 15 min and still nothing. I got a bit annoyed and left to the gas station and to a store . I decided to go to another Puertorican spot ( which there's plenty in the area) before I tried to check on them again. Arrived at 12:45 ish and they were open. I asked and they said they opened later because of the rain. Is a small restaurant with a bright color and good music. I order a alcapurria, a conch empanadilla, a octopus cup and a mofongo with fried pork. To drink we took a piña colada (virgin). I must say the food was the saving grace of my rating. This was absolutely one of the BEST Puertorican food I've had in the area. The alcapurria was big and full of meat. The conch empanadilla was fresh and flavorful . The octopus salad was the best I've had in YEARS! Big chunks of octopus, super tender and barely no onions and peppers. The mofongo was soft and not dry, did not need any caldo or sauce. The fried pork had a nice mix of fatty parts , not dry onda super seasoned. I absolutely loved the flavor of everything and I would highly recommended read more

The food flavor. The can't not be call a Puerto Rican restaurant. They lack the flavor. And they definite can not be call Piñones. They don't even come close. As far as service they brought my food and the end the service. Not for me. My asopao de camarones tasted more like Lipton soup with shrimp. The tostones were only half way cooked and I told the and they did nothing. I do not recommend and will never go back. But this is just my opinion. You can try it for your self. read more

I'm very disappointed with this restaurant. The food was bland and unseasoned. The service was inattentive and unprofessional. Definitely not worth the money. read more

I haven't eat a good mofongo in east colonial a long time ago. I just found it probably they change their cooker because that mofongo was gooood also I try the mix cup octopus and conch it was good too. We definitely try again their mofongo and was quick too. read more

Wife and I were looking to have lunch on our way home and stumble with this food truck. I have to say that we were lucky to find this spot. The food was amazing, I felt like i was eating Seafood back in Puerto Rico. Octopus Salad and Mix Seafood Salad with plantains were on point. My only critic is that portions were small but pack with tons of flavor. I heard that their Mofongo is amazing, I will return to try it next time. If you find yourself near Colonial and 417 make a stop and try this amazing Food Truck. read more

Delicious, reasonably priced meals. So damn good! I am so looking forward to coming back when I return to Orlando in April. I totally miss this food in Albuquerque, NM my temp location. read more

This place is delicious and has excellent prices. I had the mofongo and red snapper. The mofongo was moist ... not dry not soggy not salty or under salted and had pieces of crunchy chicharrón which not all places use inside their mofongo and the red snapper was flavorful and crispy. My husband also enjoyed his mofongo and fried pork which was just the right amount of crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. My daughter enjoyed sharing the red snapper with me and a side of tostones with a piña colada. Passion fruit and lemonade juice was also delicious. Only down fault we had to eat in our car because they have no seating outside but well worth it read more

The Pinones en Orlando food truck is a special treat for me. The name is derived from the scenic Pinones Beach in Puerto Rico and just like the local restaurants and dives surrounding Pinones Beach, this food truck's claim to fame is their seafood selections and stuffed Mofongo (Mofongo Relleno). Everythings is FRESH and made to order. Basically, you can stuff Mofongo (mashed, fried plantains flecked with onion) with your choice of protein. Selections include: Shrimp (Camarones), Lobster (Langosta), King Crab, Pulpo (Octopus), Carrucho (Conch), Chicken (Pollo), Pork or Steak (Carne Frita). Once you choose your meat, you can select 1 of 3 sauces to drench the stuffed Mofongo in. Green Garlic sauce, Butter and savory Creole Sauce. For me, the Green Garlic and Butter sauces don't pull the whole meal together. I would definitely recommend the red Creole Sauce if you want to tantalize your taste buds and get your eyeballs rolling in their sockets. I usually get the Green Garlic on the side just in case I want to switch it up. The absolute best for me is the Shrimp stuffed Mofongo with Creole Sauce poured all over the top! Usually there's 5-6 PLUMP Shrimp and the salsa is fully flavored with perrrrfect seasoning. The dish looks like a volcano gushing with a sea of hot magma. No emergency evacuation needed because you're gonna want to dive right in! The aroma alone will make your head spin with delight. In addition to the stuffed Mofongo, I usually get a Vasito or side of Carne Frita. Ttheir Vasitos are basically plastic cups with your choice of seafood in butter sauce. I usually go with the crab since it's a perfect compliment to the Shrimp Mofongo. They also serve a seafood gumbo, but I find it lacks thickness and is too watery. One item I've been meaning to try is their Fried Snapper which comes with your choice of mofongo or tostones. I saw another customer order up one of these and it looked and smelled outstanding. In my opinion, Pinones en Orlando is serving up the most delectable mofongo dishes in town. I would come here more often if it weren't as pricey. But if you're a first timer, it's truly worth the flavors and freshness. Go ahead, reward yourself. If you live closer to the city, there's a 2nd Pinones en Orlando location on the corner of Curry Ford Rd and Conway Gardens Rd in the Marathon gas station parking lot: 3577 Curry Ford Rd, 32806. Don't forget the Cxreole Sauce! I could drink a cup of that alone! read more

I pity the mofo that don't know about mofongo. As a native New Yorker whitey, I myself lived many decades in the dark without this glorious meal. But that veil has been lifted with my special trip to Piñones en Orlando- a long standing mofongo truck just outside of a gas station in the middle of Orlando proper. For those who do not know, mofongo is a glorious tower of mashed plantains that are either surrounded by or filled with various meats- from seafood to pork- and served along with as at this cart, a side of chimichurri. And boy howdy does this food truck do a great job- the food is fresh as hell, the portions are generous and the memories made will last you a lifetime of pining. It really doesn't get better out of a styrofoam box, people. PLUS, you can also order a bomb virgin piña colada or passion fruit juice to wash down all that superb food. I wish such tasty mofongo was easier to find in New York... Florida done schooled me in the mofongo class. Piñones en my heart, Piñones en my mouth, Piñones en Orlando. read more

Mofongo con carne frita. carne frita was dryyyyy and was looking old. mofongo not taste right I believe the place was sold to diferent nationality that not know about mofongo read more

Had a craving for mofongo and tried this food truck. I had the one with shrimp and it was delicious. I highly recommend you try

I used to live in Conway where they were located previously, and I'm so glad they moved to their new location so close by on Colonial near the 417. We ordered two mofongo dishes, one with shrimp and one with fried pork. They were both delicious! The garlic sauce is very special. The passion fruit juice is definitely a nice complement. Although the person we ordered only knew a little English, we were able to place an order no problem. The food here is great! Would love to go back. read more

Really great flavor. We tried them a long time ago at a different location but I have to say the flavors this time were better, maybe it is the type of oil? But the sauces too were very flavorful. We are looking forward to coming back! read more

OMG. GOOD. great little food truck. Can't even say enough how much we loved it. So. The food is great. However. If you do not speak Spanish it is very very hard to communicate with them. There was a bilingual customer who helped out. That was very frustrating to say the least. And the phone number was wrong on yelp. Had to go to the website for the phone number. Also there needs to be a much clearer version of the menu. The pictures are hard to see in the photos posted on yelp and the menu is not clear on the website. And little things like having lids for a cup of sauce so you are not making a mess in ur car. Little things if improve will make it the best. read more

Going by the name and reviews I thought it was going to be good, but I was wrong. I had the garlic chicken and plantains (Pollo al ajillo y tostones) and it was nothing out of this world. They get a lot of customers but I'm sure none are repetitive customers. Since they had a lot of seafood I tried a cup of octopus salad which for $8 was very small and it was very tough not well made in lots of oil. Definitely not coming back. Llevándome por el nombre y las opiniones de todo pensé que iba ser bueno, pero me equivoque. Yo ordene un pollo al ajillo con tostones y no fue la gran cosa. El pollo estaba soso y los tostones le falta freír un poco mas. Se llena pero de cliente nuevo y no repetidos. Ya que tenían mucho marisco en el menú ordene un vaso de ensalada de pulpo y para $8 era súper pequeño y estaba bien duro y puro aceité. Definitivamente no regreso. read more

I had the red and snapper & shrimp salad..I'm just gonna say I'll be first in line when they open today at noon!!! EXCELLENT

Maybe I picked a bad day, but the chillo was dry and I got half a mofongo, it was empty inside (see pic). Disappointed based on previous reviews. read more

The mofongo was great. And very friendly service. Only wish they have tables in the outside for enjoying what you order.

One of the best mofongos I have had in the area. I am from Puerto Rico and always yearn for my local food. It has been hit or miss at most places, but this food truck has always been a hit. Food is always consistent and tastes great. Service is quick and people are polite. Can't beat the prices either. Definitely a go to spot for me. read more

This place is a gem! Order ahead of time, normally long lines. Open from 3pm -4am Fridays and Saturdays. I recommend the Shrimp mofongo and the fried Chicken mofongo. Great Dominican place. read more

They fell off, I've been going here when they had a red truck up on curry ford and Conway. Just went to the new location a d the Mofongo de camarones con al ajillo was garbage. The pollo Frito was good though and forget talking about the tostones (disgusting blandito), guess that's why it good to have family that can cook it right. I won't eat there again and their food use to be banging and the spot. Seems they don't care about quality anymore. One good thing, the prices have stayed the same for the longest and that's a good thing. read more

This place is the only place I've given a review to on Yelp. They deserve all the good praise they can get. I only tried the mofongo which is what I imagine you should get coming here. The bad reviews didn't order this. The wait is a little long and price a little higher than most food trucks but that won't keep me from coming here again. Turned me into a mofongo lovin mofo. read more

I had a plain mofongo b/c everyone was telling me it was the greatest, and I have to say it is pretty good. Especially in soup and their olive oil cilantro sauce is AMAZINGLY delish! Definitely worth a try. I have to admit I was a little leery to try food from a truck but I'm still alive. read more

If you are a fan of mofongo and mom or grandma isn't around ( if your puertorican or in my case in-laws) , this is your place. I too had my doubts about mofongo from a truck, but not any longer. The mofongo is made fresh in front of you and there are a variety of meats and seafood to choose from to accompany it. The attendants are friendly and though the it may take a little bit to get the food, it is well worth the wait. The sauces are delicious and so is the octopus salad. read more

OMG!!! The best mofongo I've had in the US. The food takes some time, but man it's worth the wait. I stopped at this food truck very randomly on my way back to Atlanta while getting gas. I was missing the taste of mofongo and this came at a perfect time. I ordered my food to go and traveled back to Atlanta, reheated it the next day and fell in love with it! Even with warming up a day later, the flavors were excellent and didn't disappoint! I can't wait to visit this place again! read more

This is a great place to fulfill your mofongo cravings Most definitively one of my favorite places to get mofongo!! Also worth mentioning that the carrucho (conch) they serve out of this small truck is excellent and it is one of the things they are well known for. read more
