Rice, Chicharrones, beans and coffee $13 for all

Amy C.

I stopped by for coffee and lunch cause my car was next door getting done. I picked up a lunch box meal with white rice, chicharron and some beans. I also ordered a coffee. Everything was $13. Not bad at all. Of course I couldn't finish everything so I have another meal for later. I think the AC was broken for today though. It was hot inside. But good food.

White Rice, pinto beans, plantain, shredded beef

Deka T.

I really enjoy this food. Anytime i am in this area, i stop here for food whether i am hungry or not. Very flavorful food. This is a Dominican Restaurant served cafeteria style i would say (like chipotle). Prices are very good compared to the amount of food you get. This establishment speaks both Spanish and English and the food is authentic. I usually get the white rice, pinto beans, plantain and shredded beef. Everytime i get this meal, the food has been very tasty. I would definitely recommend giving this place a try.

The inside has plenty of seating and the dood is served assembly-line style but they also have cooked to order options. I got a bacon egg and cheese and it was tasty. The portion sizes are large and the tres leches cake is DELICIOUS! I am only docking a star because it took 30 mins to make my breakfast sandwich even though there were only 2 other people in the restaurant. I had to remind the lady I was still waiting, I think they may have forgotten to make my sandwich. I would still return!

Was looking for a traditional Dominican breakfast on the go and this did not disappoint! Ready-made food is still nice and warm, I ordered the "tres goldpes" which is mangu with pickled onions, fried salami, fried cheese and a fried egg. This was about $10. Overall I'd say prices were good for the amount of food served! The restaurant had lots of seating with a family friendly environment and high chairs available. The service was very friendly!

This is a greta joint if you are in the mood for latin cuisine. Everything on the food bar is always moving, so you know the food haven't been sitting for a long time. Portions are always generous. And the renovations make the place look really nice too.

Wow. Generous servings that was a great introduction to Dominican cuisine with items we tried for the first time that were so delicious and wholesome, all for a fair price. There are different plate options that allow you to customize your plate. We also got a Cuban sandwich that did not skimp on the meat, but I wish had more sauce. Our dessert of choice was probably the best tres leches I've ever had- a delicate and moist cake with just the right amount of sweetness that wasn't too sugary. Its a no-frills establishment that's straight to the point; great cuisine and fast turnaround time. There's also ample seating.

Only 2 little bacon on a 12"sandwich. Never again blt

Don't EVER trust their sandwiches. First of all why Orlando never had regular sliced bread? 2nd BLT had 2 strips of bacon, a baby piece of lettuce on a 12" loaf of bread, super dry and disrespectful!

Pastelon, Ensalad de Mariscos, Arroz Con Gandules w/ Pernil and cassava

Daniel H.

So the amount of times I have driven past this place on a daily basis but not stop by...is very mind boggling to me! I recently had the opportunity to finally try out this place for lunch and it definitely was a solid option. The restaurant is located on a small strip mall on OBT and from the outside it definitely looked smaller than what actually was on the inside. The restaurant had a good amount of seating and looked very bright and clean with very homey decor. When you first enter into the door it takes you directly into the waiting line where you pick and choose the items you want "cafeteria style". They had every traditional dish you could think of including different rices and meats to choose from! Me being the indecisive person that I am...could not make up my mind. I ended up getting multiple things. For my entree, I got the pernil (pork) , arroz con gandules and yucca. I also got a side of pastelon (plantain dish) and the seafood salad.... oh and let's not forget about the guava and cheese pastry for dessert! Everything that I had was actually pretty good! Now I'm alway cautious when it comes to places that serve "cafeteria style"....just because sometimes the food sits there for a while and gets hard and cold... but that wasn't the case here! My standouts had to be hands down the pastelon and guava and cheese pastry. Those two items, I would definitely go out of my way to return to get. The other items were just pretty standard and got the job done. Overall, I really enjoyed this spot! The folks here were super nice and helpful. Even though there was a little bit of a language barrier, they were super attentive and made sure I had everything I needed. I would definitely stop by this spot again the next time I'm in the area.

Good Food, ample seating area. Food available as take out or eat in. Served huge portions. Daily specials. My love said he loved the sweet potato which was, in fact, a maduro . The service is good completely given behind counter. I'm just a stickler for hot food and kept requesting to serve from the bottom because the top look dry and cold. First visit but would consider elsewhere for variety.

Arroz Con Gandules, sweet plantains, potato salad

Jen A.

If you're in the Orlando area you need to stop by Tu Casa Restaurant. I got the arroz con gandules, the sweet plantains, pork chops. And as the sides I got the potato salad, their avocado salad and ceviche. I must all of it was so good. The service was also fast and if you want you can also eat there, they have seating inside or you can grab your delicious food to go.

If you want some great Latin (Dominican) cuisine for a great price then Tu Casa is the place. We come for a trade show each July and we always get by there for the Cuban sandwich and avocado salad. Both are awesome!!! The Cuban is not like any Cuban you'll get north of Orlando and south of St Louis I can promise you that. How do you say "great sammich" in espanol?! Well it's 2019 and we're back again. Nothing has changed, it is still great! We had a slice of the carrot cake this time and OMG it was fine! And the prices here are a lot less than those joints on international drive. read more

Delicious! After a long fun day at SeaWorld, and right before our evening return trip to S. Florida, we were looking for a place to eat dinner before heading on the road. We used Yelp to 'find nearby' on our way to the Turnpike and saw this place. A bit sketchy area, but went as per the other Yelp reviews. Yelpers did not steer us wrong. This little place rocked. Super nice staff (they were very accommodating with our 2 tired little ones letting them try things before we bought) and the food was delicious. I had shrimp and garlic sauce with yellow rice and peas/beans (not quite sure) :) Side of plantains. Small salad. Soda. My kids split a fried tilapia fillet and rice and peas/beans...big portion. All of this for $20...and it was great!!! Next time we go back to Orlando we are stopping here. read more

We went twice to this place. One for dinner and another time for breakfast. Caribbean Latin food. The place is very clean and modern, food is delicious and the prices are amazing ($5-7 per plate), they serve a LOT of food for one order. The desserts are amazing especially the passion fruit cheesecake. I will be back to Jersey craving the cheesecake . (Ps: Forgot to take pics during dinner time.) the best part is that during the morning they serve breakfast and lunch. read more

Awesome food and awesome hospitality! My mom and I came here after having a terrible experience at another restaurant across the street and this place definitely made up for that. We both ordered rice, beans, veggies and chicken; the serving sizes are huge so we didn't finish everything but the food was so good! Very well seasoned and quick to get as it operates like a buffet line that they serve up for you. They bring out your food to you and clean up the plates. My mom and I haven't seen each other for a very long time so we got lost in conversation, they close at 8 and we were still there by 8:30 chatting away. They let us continue our conversation while they cleaned up. My mom noticed they were shutting down when they turned of the music. We apologized for staying late but they didn't mind and we let ourselves out. Definitely would recommend to anyone visiting or living in Orlando! read more

This place is great. Used to eat here at least once a week when I worked nearby 10+ years ago & loved it. Recently had to fly into Orlando briefly for work & literally made Tu Casa my first stop after landing & it didn't disappoint. After 10 years it's still just as good...or maybe even better somehow. Still outstanding food with home cooked vibe, still a ton of food for the dollar, & still super friendly service. I made sure to enjoy every single bite but hopefully I won't let 10 years go by before getting back there this time! read more

I have order catering from this restaurant for 2 years. I have also told everyone about it for a long time. Today I had to cancel a catering order for my grandmothers celebration of life due to a positive Covid test within the family. Their response to my deposit was to give me a in store credit because that is their policy. They even asked me to read the receipt. Though I understand policies, these times have been hard and unprecedented and I will not stand by a business that can understand what we ALL are going through. I advised them with time so I know it's not like the food was already done and going to waste. They can keep my $123, because I will never go there again. If I ever speak of this restaurant again will be to tell this story. read more

This place is impressive to say the least! I eat my fair share of Latin food and am typically pleased but this place made me stop and appreciate how wonderful all of the flavors were and how perfectly everything was cooked. We've had them cater to our office several times and everyone is always going back for seconds. The beef Empanada was out of control and huge. I forced myself to finish it because it was so delicious. Their pork and chicken was perfectly seasoned and incredibly tender. This is definitely one of my favorite places to eat.

My sister raved about this place and I was excited to try it. The line was long and the place was crowded so I expected it to live up to the hype. Sadly, I didn't see what all the fuss was about besides the fact you get a pretty good amount of food for the cost. I got the beef stew with white rice and my boyfriend got the rotisserie chicken with plantains. They were both pretty dry even with the sauce over it. The flavor was okay but I wished the meats weren't so dry. I couldn't even finish it all. I see that it's the hot spot for some people but it just didn't hit the spot for me. read more

Amazing place to eat I have not had a bad dish. Breakfast sandwiches are always done right, leave you feeling like you actually ate breakfast. My favorite dishes are actually the pastas, from their lasagna to the spaghetti bolognese. You can't go wrong with the pernil, or the pollo guisado. If you want something other than rice which is also amazing they usually have more than 2 - 3 different types of rice on deck but if you want to try something else have the side of tostones with the mojo. Also try the flan it's amazing! read more

Coco Bread: 1/5 - It was served warm, which was nice, but it was also quite dry. I was expecting the soft, buttery, slightly sweet coco bread that's perfect for pairing with a patty. This one missed the mark for me. Overall, the experience wasn't terrible thanks to the excellent customer service, but the food just didn't live up to what I expect from a Jamaican restaurant. There are enough great Jamaican spots around Orlando, that I probably wouldn't make a return trip here. I was rushing on my break or I would've taken a photo.

The giant NOW OPEN banner was flapping like it personally invited me, and the storefront painted in bold Trinidad flag colors looked ready to hand out citizenship papers with every order. I walked in thinking I'd grab a quick bite. Rookie mistake, one look at the doubles and suddenly I'm ordering five. Then I'm calling my aunt and cousin like it's a family emergency: "Allyuh want doubles? Because these looking SERIOUS." Next thing you know, I'm walking out with ten doubles like I'm catering a small festival. And let me tell you, these doubles? Soft bara, perfectly seasoned channa, pepper and tamarind sauce hugging everything like a warm Caribbean auntie. I've basically been on a doubles‑only diet since, and honestly, I feel spiritually aligned. I even ate one cold from the fridge and it still slapped. That's when you know it's real. Then there's the boneless curry chicken with buss‑up‑shut. Pure comfort. The kind of meal that makes you close your eyes after the first bite. The potatoes were soft enough to spread on a cracker, the channa was rich and earthy, and the chicken tasted like somebody's grandmother was in the back whispering, "Put a lil' more seasoning, nah." The buss‑up‑shut was fluffy, torn, and ready to scoop up every drop of curry like it had a mission. And the pepper sauce? Flavorful. Respectful. Not trying to fight me or send me to the ER. A rare and beautiful thing. The place is clean, the parking is plentiful, and the staff has real Trini accents that instantly make everything feel more authentic. Even the way they say "Next!" has rhythm. Next time, I'm calling ahead for dhal phourie, because clearly this place does not miss and I'm not risking it selling out. If you see me there again, mind your business! I'm probably ordering another ten doubles and living my best life.

Plus, they were on Uber Eats and I didn't feel like going out. Ordered my usual Jamaican dish - brown stew chicken with rice and peas and vegetables. Started out with the carrot cake - 10/10. Cake was moist, cream cheese icing was creamy and not too sweet, a good amount of carrots in the cake, a big portion sliced in half for sharing, and an affordable price. Brown stew chicken - 5/10. Ok flavor, but the chicken was kind of dry. I would have liked extra gravy but was unable to make that special request. Rice and peas - 10/10. Rice was good, nice hint of coconut milk, peas cooked perfectly. Veggies - 2/10. Bland AF. Everything except for the cabbage tastes like it came from a can. Plantain - 2/10. Bland, kinda dry. Would only order from here again for the carrot cake.

I was getting together with some friends and we ordered from Negril. Luckily, a couple of my friends are Jamaican and they helped steer me to some new faves! Food I'd highly recommend: - Brown stew chicken meal with rice and peas, fried plantain, and stewed cabbage. This dish is rich and has the potential for leftovers if you're not starving. For the uninitiated, Jamaican rice and peas consist of red kidney beans and rice that's cooked in broth, coconut milk, and tons of aromatic spices. This isn't your white rice and green peas type of situation. I could have eaten this rice on its own, but add in the brown stew sauce and WOW. Also, I love the cabbage side because it adds a vinegary note that offsets the rich stew. Note: The chicken is cut up and includes bones. - Coco bread: This is a Jamaican style bun baked with coconut milk. It's especially good when paired with a patty in the middle (yes, the coco bread around the patty! Carb heaven!). - Festival: Jamaican festival is a sweet fried dough made with cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and milk aka a dumpling. Yes this is as good as it sounds- especially for soaking up brown stew gravy! I was BLOWN away to see an entire veggie section of the menu (for online ordering) featuring soya veggie chunks (a soy based option with the consistency of chicken). That's a HUGE deal for those of us with vegetarians in the family. Overall, delicious Jamaican food that I'll definitely order again!

Wow these portions!…read more What Ofcourse I got the 2 signature meals. The jerk chicken and also the fried chicken with honey. The jerk chicken, I got with rice and peas, mixed veggies and cabbage. The cabbage was a little strange to me- not as I imagined from Jamaica steamed cabbage. The mixed veggies were also basic - like boiled frozen mixed veggies. The rice and peas were overall good but tasted a little on the hard side. The chicken though! This was the highlight - it was very flavorful, though I wish I would be able to have the sauce on the side.. For the fried chicken meal - the fried chicken was nice and hot. I got this to-go and was worried it would get soggy but it still tasted great when I got home. Environment This is located in a plaza tucked away near the corner. It seems to be a more takeout restaurant. There is some seats inside for your to enjoy the food. Since it is in a plaza, there is plenty of parking available, but in front of the restaurant could be a bit tricky. Niceness of the staff I would say she was not on the nice side. No one greeted me upon entering also they seemed preoccupied and did not once gave eye-contact. Definitely not friendly.. but nonetheless I got my food. Dollar It is like the bang for your buck. I ordered via UnderEats and there are deals, it was very reasonable as you get 2 leg quarters! Yes I would definitely order takeout again

The menu read great and we were excited to try this place since we love Jamaican Food. Was not easy to make a reservation - had to call Universal main line and choose from options. However, once we got a person, the reservation process was easy and pleasant. We informed the person taking the reservation that this was our first time visiting the restaurant so we expected a nice table - I assume they want repeat business. But instead we were seated right in front of the live band and it was so loud, we couldn't talk at all. The funny thing was that the restaurant was barely half full! Our waiter also had a tough time hearing us so we had to corret our orders a couple of times. They ran out of beef patties:-( that day. We decide to order some appetizers and a couple of entrees and shared. We had the Buffalo Soldier Jerk Wings - Had a nice spice to it and was quite delicious. We also hd the Jerk Caulifolower bites - a little sweet and spicy sauce and we all agreed this was the best dish we had! We had the Curried Goat stew - a weak curry and did not really have any spice to it. The Reggae Jamaican Jerk Chicken had a sweet spice and sticky sauce - next best dish we had. We also ordered the Coco bread- which was disappointing andd I do not recommend. It was just bread with some butter in it and definitely overpriced for what you got! Cocktails were rather weak.

Disclaimer: this review is for the lunch buffet only…read more I went with my family to try the $18.49 all you can eat lunch buffet. This was my first time experiencing a buffet for hispanic food and for this price point in Orlando, this is an amazing value deal. The server regularly brought us out silverware, napkins, and refilled our water. The place is decorated very fun and plays latin music which was lovely Not only was there an unlimited assortment of lunch foods, but an entire bar of fresh toppings for tacos (or rice bowls) and made to order desserts which were included for free! Not everything on the buffet line was the best but given the amount of options, price, and how good the great items are this is still worth a five star rating. I unfortunately did not take pictures of the food before I began devouring everything in sight to the point of near-collapse, but I will do a quick rundown of the buffet highlights: The best meats were the fajita steak, chicken, and shrimp made fresh in cast iron skillets, as well as the chicken lengua which was super flavorful and tender. The mexican rice, beans, fajitas, plantains, and street corn were also excellent. Fresh quesadillas, chips, and corn tortillas on standby with homemade queso and salsas. The flan and mini churros were the best I've ever had. Super rich, decadent Carmel flan. Mini churros hot and crisp on the outside, filled with a gooey soft milk chocolate center. They were delicious. Items that were disappointing: the tamales, mini chicken flautas, and beef chimichangas were just okay, lacking the seasoning and flavor that other dishes had. The beef barbacoa was not as tender or flavorful as the shredded chicken surprisingly. The mixed seafood was itself a mixed bag with some shrimps / scallops overcooked to much while others were perfectly cooked. The chicken mole and beef tri tip were room temperature despite sitting on hot plates. The tri tip also varied widely in doneness throughout the slices and not super tender. The rice pudding was pretty standard, and the tres leches cake was weird as they crumbled the cake into pieces before soaking it.

We had the salt and pepper squid appetizer. It was plentiful and great with the accompanying sauce. However, we didn't like the breading. And I dared to bite into one of the peppers that accompanied it and it set my mouth on fire. For dinner we had the Szechuan scallops and the XO fish. The scallops were tasty and the dish had lots of broccoli, peppers, and mushrooms. The sauce was a bit sweeter than we expected. The XO fish sauce was very similar to the Szechuan sauce and though the fish was a tad salty, it was still savory. The asparagus that accompanied that dish was chopped (easier to eat) and there were plenty of sweet snap peas and bell peppers. We adore snow pea tips and were in the mood for lots of veggies. So, we got an order to accompany our meals. We did take home most of it, along with lots of broccoli (for me) from the Szechuan scallops. We were treated to a complimentary Chinese-style dessert made with peeled split mung beans and thickened with tapioca starch into a gooey, translucent pudding that was served warm. Our meal of 1 appetizer, 2 entrees, 1 order of veggies, a pot of tea, tax, and tip was $138.
