    We stopped by Sofrito's one of her go-to restaurants in Orlando on our return home from Disney Springs. We had what we always order and both were not as tasty as they normally are. My wife had the Chimchurry steak and it was a piece that was quite tough and hard to chew; but, still a pretty good flavor. I had the 36 hour braised pork with black beans, yellow rice, and fries. The pork was just a bit dry and not as tasty as it normally is. We know this is a one off, so we'll definitely be back as it is a well run operation.

    Fresh and flavorful food with quick service. We stopped in while visiting Disney World in October 2025. The portion size was excellent for the price; we could g even finish all of our food. The Cuban sandwich had a hefty amount of meat; the arepas did, too! Come hungry! This is fast-casual dining that is pretty healthy and fresh. Loved it!

    This is one of our favorite places! The food is always amazing, the service is excellent! Their coffee is some of the best! We always order too much because we can't ever decide what we want because it all is so good!! Definitely recommend! Great location and the vibe is 10/10

    This was the second time I came. When you come in, you can order in the tablets or with the host. You take a number and sit where you'd like. They bring the food out for you, which btw came out super fast. The food was delicious, we were a big group. They had music going which was pretty good. The menu has so many varieties from different Latin countries. The mocktail I had was a spring special which was tasty. I'd definitely come back. In case you want to sing happy birthday to someone make sure to call the restaurant to advise them with time & they also don't do reservations but plenty of seating.

    It was incredibly delicious! Very flavorful! I had the Hibiscus Kiss mocktail, which was quite refreshing & complimented the dinner well!

    There are tons of great restaurants in Orlando. BUT, there's only ONE place at which we ALWAYS eat, EVERY time we come into town: Sofrito Latin Cafe. My family's been coming here for about 10 years now...we usually stop here at least twice per trip. The food is fantastic. Although I've had many of the entrees, and they've all been great, in general, I'm an arepa and empanada kind of guy. Along with Q'Kenan's, Sofrito's are some of the best in town. Interestingly, multiple styles of empanadas are available...Cuban, Argentine, Colombian, and of course, Venezuelan. Speaking of Venezuelan... Service: The service has always been fast, friendly, accurate...and cute. Are the waitresses cute? Yeah, just ask my 19 year old son. There's a reason why Venezuela, a county of (only) 30 million has won Ms Universe 7 times. Not a big deal, just something you notice. The atmosphere is modern, clean, comfortable, and casual. The patio doesn't have much of a view, but still, it's nice to eat outside when it's not too humid and hot, (or like this past weekend, too friggin' cold). Drinks: They have everything! Coffee, Latin pop, craft beer, cocktails, and even wine! Try the pineapple mojito. There are probably Latin Cafes in Orlando that are more authentic, but SLC has stood the test of time. We've been very happy at Sofrito Latin Cafe for the past 10 years...here's to 10 more! 5 stars!!

    This is a very busy place. However, things are running pretty fast as their set up is good. There's inside and outside seating ordering is at the desk or you can do it at one of the self-serve computers. We ordered at a self-serve computers. I ordered the Cuban croquetas and a Cuban sandwich. Either one was authentic Cuban. The crickets were cute, but definitely not Cuban croquettes it was cheese with in the middle of something and hardly any a flavor - the garlic sauce that came with was gross. You might as well just eat straight up garlic juice so I use ketchup instead. The Cuban sandwich was a very large portion and not bad. However, it did not remind me of a Cuban sandwich. The flavors were different. The cheese wasn't melted. Very good sandwich. Just not the Cuban one overall not a bad experience is not my type of food as it's more Latin fusion

    This place is our absolute must stop in Orlando. This time we got off our cruise and stopped before heading home. Everyone's super friendly and the vibe is great. This guy named Christian offered us water as soon as we were seated. He would not stay still and was very active with every table. He woke clean up after anyone stood up and kept offering water. I loved this type of service. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you Christian

    The food itself was good and served warm, so no complaints there. However, the service really took away from the experience. Having to get up from the table to get your own water and it not even being cold was frustrating. On top of that, getting a simple cup of ice felt like a hassle, which honestly shouldn't be the case at a restaurant. The food has potential, but the service setup and lack of basic hospitality made the visit disappointing. With better attention to guest experience, this place could be much better. The restaurant was clean but the bathroom was not.

    I have no idea why I am JUST reviewing this place now because I feel like I come here every time I visit Orlando (at least once a year). Food and service is always great. Large portions, dinner entrees come with 3 sides, and packed with flavor. Would recommend getting their arepas, empanadas, and roast pork. Very casual place with good vibes all around. Lots of seating both indoors and outdoors with good amount of parking. I also never had to wait insanely long for a table or for the food. Oh and major pro: it's close to the amusement parks! This place will continuously be one of my go-tos when I'm in the area.

    The Cuban sandwich was just alright, but the churrasco (skirt steak) was very yummy! We also loved the Venezuelan empanadas with cheese! Tasted great with the skirt steak! I love how you can choose your own sides too

    Food here in Sofrito Latin Cafe was amazing. Truly a Latin American (Colombian, Argentinian, Peruvian, Venezuelan) restaurant with amazing service and the ambiance this place gives off is one of family. I truly enjoy the flavors of Latin America and this whole in the wall definitely brings in.

    Still being on London time, we were glad to find a restaurant open before noon around these here parts. I guess most are 1 pm to 2 am for the late-night partiers. Sofrito's outdoor dining area was nice and laid back, and their easy self-ordering meant quick hot food at our tables in just a few minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful for any menu choice explanations. My wife liked the beef/beans/rice, and it was even too big for her to finish (sure I imbibed to finish it off). She mostly (always) liked the plantains and wouldn't share. She's a high critic on those, so apparently they were worthy. The pasta was good in theory, but it was WAY too much garlic. So note to chef on that, maybe that was just accidentally too much added this time. We liked the ambiance and there are many other interesting menu items, and we would return when back in town.

    Are dogs allowed on patio?

    What dressing do you put on the side salad that comes w entrees?

    It’s an herb dressing. It’s similar to a ranch dressing but slightly different. We make it in house.

    What are the wait times like for dinner on a Sunday?

    Depends on the season, but it could take about 15 min to order and another 20 mi to get your order. Sundays are our busiest days, especially during breakfast and lunch hours.

    Do they cook the gluten free items in a separate fryer?

    Hi! No. If you have celiac disease, please advice our management team when you visit us. We can offer you some items that are gluten free and safe for your consumption.… Read more

I had scoped out New York Bakery Boys as a good option for breakfast or lunch (not hard to beat hospital food). The only challenge is the location. Because it's in downtown Celebration, parking is not easy. My map took me about a 4-minute walk away, but I think you can get closer. The main roads are blocked off to cars, it Bakery Boys isn't. Staff were so friendly and kind! (Maybe not authentic New Yorkers lol.) There were lots of fun snacks from Japan and China and then some items from Italy. I got a New York Classic breakfast sandwich, which was a fried egg, American cheese and meat of my choice (I chose bacon) and I chose the garlic bagel (highly recommend). It was $8.99. I am not exaggerating when I say this was the best breakfast bagel sandwich I've ever had! And I'm a breakfast bagel sandwich aficionado. The bagel made it so flavorful with the crunchy garlic. The American cheese was a surprise joy. Definitely come here for breakfast!

While it was flaky and semi-warm, the chocolate was a bit overpowering and didn't balance well with the pastry itself. (my opinion only) Don't get me wrong it was good. Just not the amazing, life-changing pastry TikTok made it out to be. In my opinion, it's a little overrated. It's definitely fun for the novelty and the photos. My toddler loved it (it was literally the size of her head), so that alone made the stop worth it. I would have to say it is good, but not great.

    We were SO excited to try this place thanks to all the influencer raving and thinking (incorrectly)…read morethat it was a Michelin Star restaurant. I sincerely hate being a hater and I wanted nothing more than to love this place but...well, here are my thoughts. Chaos - The entire place feels chaotic and stressful. You wait in line to order (totally fine), but are not allowed to find a table until after you've ordered. Literally, no one else eating there pays attention to this so by the time you get your order in, finding a table feels like the Hunger Games with people already camping on spots. Once you find one, it's just a sea of people hovering by tables trying to snag one. The ordering line also lets you out right at the entrance/exit to the kitchen, so you're stuck standing there looking for a table while servers are cutting in and out of you. It might be the worst laid out restaurant I've ever seen, so high five for that? The other weird part about the tables is they all say "Reserved" on them. I watched, no joke, 5 different people get upset that there were no un-reserved tables and when they asked staff, they all had the same cheesy line "oh it's reserved for you!". I don't know if it's a failed gimmick or just a huge whiff, but...yea. Food - It's all supposedly cook to order, but it's very clear they are just mass prepping it and sticking it under food lamps because our food came out luke-warm at best. I have a feeling the fries might have been good if they were hot, but they clearly had been sitting all alone waiting to meet us for a while. Here's the part that broke my heart, though. The brisket. I was SO excited for the brisket...and it disappointed...hard. It was dry, sliced way too thin, cold, and it lacked any meaningful flavor. They have some sort of coffee rub they put on it that tasted...ugh, I have to say it...terrible. It had a liquid smoke type fake taste to it. 0/10 on the brisket. Michelin - They tout the Michelin thing pretty hard but in case you're wondering, the place does NOT have a Michelin star. It is just a "Michelin recommended" spot. I would LOVE to meet whoever the rep was from Michelin who ate here and said, "OMG YASSSS! RECOMMEND!", because I'd love to see them say it with a straight face. Look, I know it sounds like I'm being hard here, but it really was a chaotic, flavorless experience. It was my birthday, and my wife brought me here as a treat. Even though I told her she did nothing wrong, she spent the rest of the day apologizing for the experience. Bonus! The sauces are weirdly unbalanced, finding ketchup is an adventure, and the mixed drinks were meh. BUT! My wife said the cornbread was good.
