good fast casual food similar to lechonera. Large servings, hot and tasty. Rice was a bit salty for my liking but nonetheless a good choice for a quick bite. Some indoor seating, quick service. read more

Sabor del caribe is a hidden gem when looking for authentic Puerto Rican food in Orlando! We have been customers for years and always leave satisfied. We order for graduations, bday parties, and any other catered events, they are decently priced and always great quality. I got the Carne Frita with Arroz con Gandules and Maduros and my sister got Pernil with Arroz con Gandules and yuca. I don't know which one I liked more! Honestly, one of my fave spots when I'm craving some food from the isla! Located on Curry Ford, it's a super local hidden gem. The señoras who always are there are so sweet. If you're craving food from PR definitely go ahead and check out Sabor del Caribe. read more

I remember coming here and walking out with plates of food because of how much I loved it. The sandwiches are delicious. And so is everything else. An absolute 10/10 hidden gem! And the service is lovely. read more

Fantastic food add this place to your bucket list if you are craving phenomenal dishes from PR. The mofongo with ropa vieja was the best I have eaten in the Orlando area! read more

Great food! But the people who answer the phone need to learn how to speak English. It's so frustrating ordering food when the person doesn't understand a word and gets the order wrong. read more

The prices are good here, considering this is a cafeteria with a few tables. The food is also really good, comparing it to other places with "Cocina Latina" around here. This place is definitively my favorite for greasy and salty Latin food. I've had the pernil (pork leg) and it was really good, and one time I ordered the chuletas (pork chops), which were OK even though they were fried on the spot. I will say that the rice and beans and plantains are really good, I would be happy just with that. I have seen that they have roasted chicken, and it looks good, so I may visit soon and get some, with some arroz con gandules (rice and pigeon peas). read more

Sabor del Caribe is located in a small strip mall on Curry Ford Road that is located between the Wendy's and the shopping plaza with the Publix located in it. I was getting an oil change at the Tuffy and figured this would be a good place to stop for lunch. Upon venturing in, I seen that it was rather nondescript inside, as well. This did not discourage me in the least, I have been to many of these cafeteria style latin food places and I fully understand and prescribed to the belief that the best of these places are always simple, humble type places. I stood by what I thought was the place to order and was ignored. Someone else walked over and approached where the food and were approached. So, I followed suit. I ended up going with rice, pernil (a Puerto Rican pork dish) and yuca. I also ordered a papa rellena, which is a potato ball with ground beef in the middle. I have loved these since discovering them in Miami decades ago. The pernil, rice and yuca was about eight dollars and the papa rellena was about two dollars. Not bad pricing and they gave a decent amount, but here is where I have to bring another Latin cafeteria type place just a few miles away. Where I finished this and honestly, could have put away some more, this other place, if you manage to finish it all, you will definitely be stuffed. Also, I think it is a bit less in terms of cost at this other place, but both are well priced. Ok, the pernil here was a bit overcooked and kind of dry. It definitely did not possess the sublime qualities of great pernil. I was debating between the pernil and the chicken and found myself wishing that I went with the chicken. I have decided to give it three stars. Service was indifferent, the pernil was dry and overcooked and probably from the day before as I was there just a tad before noon. The pernil did not taste fresh at all. If you are getting an oil change, it is not the worse place for lunch. But if you are looking for the best Caribbean hispanic type cafeteria, look elsewhere. read more

I love this Puerto Rican Restaurant in Orlando. It is a small place; it's not fancy, but the food is delicious. It's better than many Puerto Rican restaurants in Miami, Orlando, and Kissimmee.

Absolutely delicious food. Ordered Thanksgiving food & was not disappointed. Everything was perfect. Highly recommend this place

This place used to be one of my favorite place for a quick grab and go. But lately food quality has been awful.

My sisters recommended this place during my visit (never ate there) so we ordered take out - family meal for 5. To my surprise the food was delicious, portions were generous and reasonably priced. It's worth the trip if you're in town or new to the area - I do recommend. read more

We just moved to the area. On two different occasions my mom brought Home some beef empanadas. They were very tasty and not heavy or oily. Well... a week or so later I went to get 3 empanadas to share with family. They looked different and were very oily. The flavor was still good. Well... I NEVER get sick from food. I can count 2 occasions in life, and this being one of them. I knew it wasn't anything Else I ate because because I had not eaten anything that day prior to. This was like around 11/12pm... it was the only thing I ate all that day because I got so sick after. I hate to leave this type of review on anyone's business but after seeing the review about the conditions l, I figured it would be important to share. Not sure if the oil was not fresh or what happened but needless to say I won't be going back. I got so sick that I don't even want to eat out food for a bit. I only have 2 stars because I can't deny that the first two times I ate the empanadas they were good and not like the third time. read more

This place made me and my friends happy. The food was amazing. The service was great. They played old school Latin music I used to love listening too back in the days. I even got up and danced. I would def go back to this Restaurant and recommend friends and family if anyone decide to stop into Orlando Florida. read more

Remarkably this place is still here and going strong! Congrats to them. I only wanted to update that they have made decorating improvements. It no longer only looks like the BBQ place that was here before! It has island themed murals and that is much nicer. The food is still good and home-style. read more

I'll start with, I ordered yelp delivery. Which was my first time. Yelp uses Grubhub and this is a free delivery offer. I can comment on service because my order somehow didn't crossover properly and they called to clarify. Very pleasant attendant. The food is so tasty. The chicken is well seasoned. My two sides were yuca and yellow rice. The portion is quite large. I also ordered a kid meal, which was a good size but could also serve as an adult small meal. read more

Excellent Food with great service. One of the best takeout Latin food in the area with great variety and tasty food. If you need food for a party they good prices and quality. read more

The food was good, the price was fair, it didn't take to long for the delivery to arrive but what I liked the most was the attention I received by the person on the phone taking my order. She provided all the information I requested without a rush, she was very polite, she treated me as a returning customer even though it was my first time ordering from this business. read more

Since we are on heavy lock down we have been ordering take out. My fiancé and I want to make a conscious effort to support local businesses. She found this restaurant on Yelp, the food was great. We ordered chicken, Arroz Gondolas, seasoned veggies, mofongo, and empanadas. The chicken was seasoned so good, we asked why can't our chicken that we cook at home taste like this. But the rice, vegetables and empanadas were great. We will be coming back here again. read more

Food is incredible, fast delivery and food is super fresh and hot when you get it. Quality and quantity definitely worth their prices.

If you are not easily scared by it's shady appearance, I would encourage you to check this place out. Cafeteria-style restaurant with dishes prepared daily and kept on hot plates. You also have "a la carte" dishes that you can order, like mofongo. This place is a true representation of Caribbean food at Caribbean prices. Tons of food placed on your dish and perfectly seasoned. But seriously, one order of food is enough for two, unless you are feeling crazy hungry or want to save half of your food for later. read more

Wow what a hidden gem. Came here starving and left absolutely satisfied. Got the Chicken stew lunch special and for $7.50 this is one of the best deals in town. The chicken was fall-off-the-bone and incredibly flavorful. The rice was a tad on the saltier side but still amazing. Plantain is also a winner. I tried my friend's crispy pork as well and holy smokes it was a crispy fatty goodness. I was completely stuffed eating half and took the rest home for lunch the next day as well. read more

This is my new mofongo spot! I had the mofongo stuffed with pernil (pork), and it was great! The meat to plantain ratio was incredible! Bear in mind that they use chicharrones (pork rind bits) in the mofongo. Since they make the mofongo fresh to order, they should be able to exclude them if you prefer. At first serving they're kind of chewy, but upon reheating they melt away. I'm used to paying over $10 for mofongo. My order was less than $8 for a nice sized portion. I'm looking forward to trying the lunch specials here. I'll definitely be back! read more

Stumbled upon this place today looking for something to pick up for dinner. It's a small hole in the wall cafeteria style restaurant. The prices are great for the food you get, $10 for a rice, a meat, and a side. I also got a large beef empanada for $2 that was delicious. The stew chicken and beef yellow rice was flavorful read more

First time trying this spot. It was better than I expected. I had their pork rice with beans, beef stew, and yuca. I love that they cover their food and it tastes fresh. Definitely coming again! read more

Me encanta el Mofongo relleno de pernil y el arroz con gandules!!. Sabor puertorriqueño!.

Any time I see a sign go up that a new restaurant is coming to this particular strip, I think to myself, "Oh, look -- it's the next soon-to-be-out-of-business restaurant on Lamberton Blvd." There should be a warning in the lease agreement that odds are, you'll already be out of business by the time the paperwork goes through. This particular suite (#110) shares about half the blame, previously housing Red Mountain BBQ, Kebab Grill, and Quiznos, as well as some place called "City-Boy's Urban Cafe" that opened and closed so fast that I never actually saw it, despite the fact that I live down the street and pass by here regularly. Anyway, I digress. Sabor del Caribe is the new tenant, and based on the head count when I walked in, they're not too worried about becoming the next in a long line of Ghosts of Restaurants Past. It's a bit hectic in here, maybe because they haven't yet figured out a system to keep traffic flowing smoothly. People coming in, people leaving, people waiting in line, people paying, and people trying to get their drinks and utensils. Everyone is in each other's way. Walking in the door, I had to stop and look around for a few seconds just to figure out where I needed to be. How do I order something that's made to order? At the register? With the guy working the buffet counter? They might want to streamline the ordering process a bit -- there was a real disconnect between the ordering process and paying for the meal. The woman at the register had no idea that I had ordered but not paid, until I told her I needed to pay for my meal. There was no record of what I had ordered at the register. Had I been an unscrupulous type, I could easily have eaten for free. So I paid and sat down, and when my name was called I went up to get the meal. I ordered the pork mofongo, which was big and filling. I almost couldn't finish it, but it was delicious so I made it happen. The mofongo is garlicky and flavorful, and the pork inside and out was very tender. It's not my favorite mofongo in town, but it's great nonetheless, and the price is right; the mofongo and a drink cost a total of about $10. This isn't the only game in town, obviously. Rice & Beans on Alafaya and Estrella Latina on Goldenrod are both the same style counter service Puerto Rican restaurant. But if Sabor del Caribe can keep the quality up and keep people coming through the door, I don't think we'll be taking bets any time soon on the next restaurant to set up in suite #110. read more

Sabor Del Caribe - Mofongo w/pork tastes better than it looks! - Puerto Rican Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I have been watching this place like a hawk to see when they will finally open, and the day has come. This is in the former location of Red Mountain BBQ and upon walking in you will see not too much has changed. They added some very nice murals of Puerto Rico and flags representing Caribbean countries, with Latin music playing in the background a nice and inviting space. We ordered the pork mofongo and also a dinner plate that consisted of chicken, yellow rice, and plantains. They have several combination platters to choose from, but selecting from the hot line is fast and easy. The dinner plate was very good. Yellow rice had pieces of pork mixed in, chicken was in a delicious tomato based sauce with spices and the sweet plantains were done just right. The mofongo took about 20 minutes as they are freshly made, but they had said 10. Turns out they were calling my name but the music was too loud so I didn't hear them. They apologized profusely, gave me my food, and offered us two free flan deserts. The owner also came by an apologized and lowered the music. They just opened so you can tell everyone is still getting their bearings. The chef came out and asked if everything tasted good. He was an older Puerto Rican man that did not know too much English, basically exactly what you would hope for in a place like this. Overall it was a great experience that I feel will only get better as they are open more days and the staff learns the menu. read more

Made sure to call and verify the menu prices! The website say one thing when you get to the restaurant the prices are different. For example the king fish is showing at $9.99 when they charge $15.00 at the restaurant. The total should have been $26.98 they charged me $37.98 for 2 dinners. Keep an eye out. read more

Food is typically good here but my one complaint about the mofongo is... it would taste much better if you guys used small fried pieces of real chicharron instead of using chicharrones that you buy in a bag from the store. Add a little extra garlic and you'll have some of the best mofongo around. Overall... the food here is usually good and reasonably priced. read more

Love the place but definitely need to address some problems i have. 1. The people handling the food are not wearing gloves. That is disgusting for so many reasons I'm sure i don't need to get in to. 2. There were flies around the food and the food wasn't covered. Just tighten up. Will be calling food inspectors tomorrow. read more

Horrible place to do business with. They cancelled my order without contacting me. Just because they did not have one item. I guess I'm lucky that I did not do business with them, but I will spread the word. read more

I have ordered Family Meal deals twice during the lockdown. This came with cut up roasted chickens , arroz con gandules , and a side of your choice . I also ordered Mofongo (so good!) It was good size portions, delicious and authentic Puerto Rican food. The delivery was fast and no touch. I will definitely order from them again and hope to visit in person when all of this is over . read more

Very underwhelming. The reviews for this looked so promising but I was left disappointed. I ordered the alcapurias appetizer which decent. But my entree, the pork plate, was all wrong. They forgot my rice and beans which doesn't make any sense. The pork was fatty and greasy, but still dry somehow. I upgraded to tostones as my side and they were bland. The mofongo was dry and soggy at the same time. Nothing came with any type of sauce. The entire meal was just lacking moisture and depth of flavor. I had such high hopes for this meal but I'm left very disappointed. read more
