I came here one day for a nice lunch. Got here right when it opened, so we had the place to…read moreourselves. Ambiance was nice. Counter-service right when you walk in, and then there's a great, big dining room full of wooden bench-esque booths. Feels like of like an outdoor picnic area. It was nice. Cozy. Service was excellent. Believe it or not, we were served by Papa Diesel himself! I only knew that, because he was standing right in front of a life-sized cardboard cutout of himself. Very surreal. The food came out very promptly, and he went and got us a whole flight of sauces to try. The food itself was pretty good. We got The Diesel Sampler (1/4 lb of slow smoked brisket, ribs, pulled pork, sausage, and wings) and a few sides, the Smoked Gouda Mac & Cheese, the Brussel Sprouts with Bacon, and a Sweet Roll. Brisket was not good, sorry, ribs were nice, but needed sauce, pulled pork was good, but needed sauce, sausage was the best part, Huge chunks of melty cheddar cheese inside, and the wings had a nice little smoke to them. Pretty good stuff. The mac was very gouda-y. Needed some seasoning, though. The sprouts were excellent. Huge sprouts, but cooked all the way through, nice chunks of bacon added that much needed fat. Good work here. Overall, some pretty good BBQ. You won't be disappointed with your visit here. Just make sure to sauce adequately.

Pros: Ambiance was nice. Spacious dining room with BBQ…read morestyle benches and BBQ style condiment caddies at every table. Service was excellent. We were actually served By Papa Diesel! One of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. And the food came out promptly and hot. We got a meat sampler with some sides. Some of the meats were very good! Juicy, flavorful, tender. Very good stuff. Cons: The sides were a little bit of a let-down. Sometimes, all the focus goes into the meats, and the sides kind of suffer. Not too terrible, but make sure you prioritize the meats. Tips: All the meats are pure meat, so make sure you ask for adequate sauce. The sausage might have been the best part for me, and I usually don't like sausage. If you are having trouble deciding, you could skip the brisket.

TBH I picked BNB because they had the shortest line at the event I was at. Turns out I made the…read moreright choice. I stood in line for awhile only to find out they ran out of the chicken that I had decided on. So I went with the brisket, potato salad, and baked beans. The brisket had a delicious jerk seasoning that we totally didn't expect. The potato salad was sweet in just the right way, and the beans were on point! The portions were great for the price. One meal served my wife and I perfectly. I'll be checking out BNB if I see them again!

Saw this guy on the side of the road in lake Mary while cycling. I got 1/2 rack of ribs and brisket…read morelunch combo. I ate too much of the brisket before I remembered to take a pic. Brisket was really solid, perfect flavor and texture. Collards were on point as well. Not too much vinegar and nicely sweet. Mac and cheese was just average. Ribs were really amazing. I got 6 ribs in the half rack and they were huge! Really thick, juicy, and tender. Tried the hot bbq sauce, was a nice heat level in a vinegar style sauce. Really impressed overall Will def go back.

EWWWW! They don't change their gloves after touching many things in the kitchen, including the cash…read moreregister. Then they literally grab the meat from the catering dishes with those same gloves. They didn't use tongs. They used DIRTY GLOVES GRABBING HANDFULS OF MEAT and put it right on the buns for the sandwiches. I saw this as I sat outside and observed this terrible behavior through the window. Gloves are the enemy of the food industry if not used properly. Untrained workers using gloves have no sense of "my hands are dirty" since they're wearing gloves. They routinely touch the counter, door handles, utensils, etc. which are usually touched by many others. Hopefully the owners who put their hard earned dollars into opening a restaurant for the community take the time to train their staff properly. Until then, this restaurant is DISGUSTING!!!! I would skip this place for now.

I studied the menus at the new Avalon Park Marketplace and I was drawn to BBQ50's "Bat out of Hell"…read moresandwich. A BBQ brisket sandwich with pulled pork, beer cheese and a chopped up St. Louis rib is right up my alley. It was ok and for $16, I doubt I would go out of my way to go back. My issue is they are still acting like a mobile catering company. The brisket and pork were pre-cut and kept warm in chaffing dishes which definitely watered down the smoky taste. They did not have beer cheese either, but I did visit during their soft opening, and Bowigens did not have their liquor license yet. On the flipside, all of their sauces were fantastic and did elevate the taste, but not to the level of some of the area best BBQ joints. Again, soft opening so understandable, but delays were caused by how they implemented their ticketing system. I would say this is a good family spot for a quick meal if you are in the Avalon Park area, and their are several other vendors at the Marketplace. Self seating areas indoors and outside are kept very clean by staff. https://marketplaceatavalonpark.com/ Taste *** Quality/Freshness *** Presentation/Uniqueness **** Service *** Atmosphere **** Bar Cleanliness **** Price $$$$

My mom lives close by and we have been here when it was La Casita and a Puerto Rican restaurant…read more It was pretty good then. Well now it's been changed to Mexican with a Puerto Rican twist and it was really good. I never have high expectations for Mexican spots in Orlando but this one is legit. My wife is half Mexican and half Puerto Rican so this is right up our alley. We also travel to mexico 3-4 times per year and love Mexican food and we used to live in Puerto Rico. I ordered a burrito with carne asada. Wife had a torta de milaneza. My mom got tacos. We ordered surillitos as an appetizer. We sat down and the chips were served. They came out freshly fried up home made. The green sauce wasn't too spicy but good. We asked for a spicy sauce and they brought out a red sauce that had a nice kick. It was hot and I love it that way. Wifey and I had orchata to drink and it was good. They asked if we wanted to try the chicken pozole at no charge. We said sure and they brought out 2 bowls of the most delicious soup I've had in a while. It was absolutely delicious. The broth was rich with deep flavor with super tender chicken and homony. Id come here just for the soup! Bad part is the pozole is only made on weekends. They have a salsa bar too. They have 6 different types of made salsas and veggies to add if you want. The sorullitos were great. My burrito was huge and it tasted great. Wifes torta was huge also and she really liked it. The fried steak (empanizado) was fantastic in the torta. My mom got her tacos "supreme" which comes with tomatoes, sour cream, and lettuce along with the onion and cilantro. She liked them. We ordered a stuffed chili pepper to go for my sister. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and explained the situation with the new menu and name. They speak Spanish and English here also. This is a great spot and for sure Ill be back when visiting my mom.

5!5 Stars -- An absolute hidden gem in Orlando!…read more I came in for dinner and ordered the skirt steak quesadillas--they were fantastic, cooked to perfection, and packed with flavor. The food alone would earn five stars, but the hospitality took the experience to the next level. Both the owner and the manager were genuinely awesome, incredibly welcoming, and even took us behind the scenes to check out their hidden speakeasy! It made for such a memorable night out. We can't wait to come back. Highly recommend! Thanks you Lisa

Taco Cat in downtown Orlando was a fun spot to hit especially on taco Tuesday. We went for their $2…read moretaco specials. The Básico are the only tacos available for $2, and you can choose between chicken or ground beef. It's simple no frills and gets the meal done right. Flavor-wise it reminded me of a high quality Taco Bell soft taco. Familiar, satisfying, and easy to enjoy with a slightly fresher and upgraded taste. Don't expect anything gourmet on this menu, but for $2 in downtown Orlando you can't complain. It's a solid deal for a quick and affordable bite.

Always so happy to see John and his delicious pop-up around town!…read more The food is delicious--but if you're not sure what to get, we were able to sample the Madras Curry since we've never tried it before. We ordered the Butter Chicken and Madras Curry. Both are so great, but if you like spicy I'd pick the Madras. The portion sizes are also very generous. Lots of protein to be had. The service is great as always. John even dropped off our food to us inside so we could grab a beer while he prepared it.

An amazing food truck in central Florida!…read more They specialize in South Indian cuisine! They are a food truck concept that frequents at Tactical Brewing in Baldwin Park. The Service is wonderful! The staff are very friendly and accommodating. They are very chill with a tent outside whichever venue hosts them The Butter chicken is amazing! It goes extremely well with the Garlic Naan. And only $3 per side for the Naan!! Amazingly fair price!!

We came across this food truck a few weekends ago at the Longwood Farmers Market in Reiter Park…read more The owner was making fresh tamales and had some tasty sides and sauces to serve alongside them. We ordered three and had one with each meat offering. He had pork, chicken and lamb. The pork was my favorite and the lamb was my husband's favorite. The chicken was good too but slightly drier than the other two. These came with a few sauces, a spicy and mild sauce as well as rice. They were incredible. They tasted very authentic and super fresh. We opted for the extra fixings including fresh jalapeños, onions and cilantro and they were to die for. 100%, you must pick up a few if you find yourself in the area.
