Located within Terminal B for Gates 30-59 in the center. This location offers both kiosks to order and an order counter with staff if you prefer to order via that way. There is some seating, but very busy so it's hard to snag a table before someone else takes. What I Ordered: ~ Cheese Danish: surprisingly moist, and full of flavor! For an airport, I didn't expect a decent sweet bread option. I'd definitely get again when flying American Airlines out of MCO. ~ Bottle of Water: Consistent with airport pricing, so grabbed a bottle to stay hydrated while traveling. ~ Cortado: the perfect balance of sweetness, milk, and espresso. My drink of choice for a quick coffee when traveling, and I think this is the best I've had across the country! This drink alone would have me return for a coffee before my flight whether it's morning, afternoon, or night! If you need a quick food item and/or coffee, this location is my suggestion in Terminal B. Safe travels! read more

We were in the Orlando Airport while waiting a few hours for our flight home. The restaurant was not overly busy so we looked at a menu and thought we would give it a try. We love empanadas and these did not disappoint. My husband really loved the queso empanada. We then were contemplating the bowl or Cubano sandwich. We asked the waiter who told us go with the sandwich and so, we decided on the sandwich. We also got the sauces one was creamy and delicious. The other had a slight spice and went great with the pork. For an airport restaurant, we got a table right away and the waiter was attentive and friendly. It is slightly busier on the take out side. All in all, we had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of the airport and all the travelers. FYI - they do serve beer but just don't advertise it as much which is why I think the gastro pub next door is a bit busier. read more

The problem withthis location is I have to ring in my order I pay at the same computer screen and they scream your number and you have to fight way your way to the front like a Wawa but 10 times more customer.. That would be no problem just like at wawa it not a problem. The big problem is they add tip itt not optional as they advertise. Tip for who I ordered I payed I went to get my food. Again not optional. Most people don't even know they got billed for tip. They have the nerve to add a tip jar at pick up guest are stuffing it with cash. No clue they already tipped 33.50.for one sandwich and water. They have tables but for 28.00 dollars your allowed to sit at the table you have to sit and have a server wait on you I can only image the price of the food and how much tip you are charged there.bthe cuban sandwich was good. 28 dollars good I don't think so but it the airport. read more

Decent enough stop in the airport. I am a fan of the Zaza's Cuban Cafe locations around Orlando and this airport outpost of the Cuban food eatery was decent enough for a stop at a ridiculously early time in the airport fora ridiculously early flight. The woman behind the counter was friendly enough and while it is not inexpensive, it is in line for what the other places charge in the airport. As far as ambiance, it is a small place geared to grab a drink and maybe something to eat and bring to the seats by your gate. If you are in the terminal, it is not a bad location. read more

Ebded up at this restaurant after assessing the limited options. Airport food is usually so expensive and disappointing. I'm happy to share that the beef bowl was honestly so, so surprisingly tasty. The beans have a notable Smokey flavor, which adds a nice depth for the other basic ingredients. The beef was tasty and not too small of a portion. I'd come back here and get a coffee or empanadas next time too! read more

I couldn't leave Florida without trying some Cuban food, so here I was trying something Cuban at MCO. They serve a bunch of different coffees, breakfast, and Cuban sandwiches, pastries, and bowls. What was frustrating for me was that they were literally out of everything except the chicken, and it wasn't an odd hour. So, I had to order the mojo chicken sandwich and beef empanada. The sandwich was just some pieces of reheated frozen chicken with Pik-Nik potato sticks and pickles. It was okay, but nothing you can't make yourself. It was also kind of small and lacked protein despite the price. The empanada was also small, but pretty good for a beef empanada. Remember to make sure you get your sauces. The Zaza verde tastes like a generic salsa verde that is quite spicy, and the Cubaioli tastes like a creamy garlicky mayonnaise, that's not too reminiscent of cilantro. It's okay for airport food, though hopefully next time they won't be randomly sold out of everything. If you don't want to walk back here from your gate, there's a smaller Zaza kiosk further down the terminal that serves a more limited selection and grab and go items. read more

And I'm back home! This place is an absolute must-stop every time I come back to Florida. One of the best parts is the convenience--there's always a location right outside my gate inside the airport when I get off the plane. All--and I truly mean all--of their food and drinks are amazing. The empanadas are packed with juicy, perfectly seasoned meat and instantly make your mouth happy. I also always get the sweet guava pastry--it's non-negotiable and so good every single time. If you're ever in the airport, stop here and treat yourself. You won't regret it! read more

This little to-go version of Zaza is located exactly in front of Gate 12 in terminal A. It's tiny but mighty as the line was way outside the shop. I waited about 20 minutes but it was hot and delicious food and the workers were nice and quick even with the long lines at 5AM! The ham, egg, and cheese on a Cuban bread sandwich was so large, half of it filled me up. I spent $20 on a cold brew coffe and breakfast sandwich but it was worth it as I had a 4 hour flight ahead of me. read more

Had an okay experience at the airport coffee spot! The line was long but moving fast so we went to the computer to order ourselves. There were signs for the seasonal coffee everywhere but when we got to the machine it said it was not available. Maybe take the signs down if you don't have it anymore, or fix the machine if that's not accurate? The medium coffee was the smallest size available and with my oat milk and caramel flavoring it came to a little over $10 which in my opinion is extremely expensive for a coffee. They brought out trays of coffee and called everyone instead of handing it out when it's made, which caused a large group of people waiting around. I get an airport markup cost, just probably wouldn't recommend this location unless you're in dire need of a pick me up! read more

I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions.

We both got the cornbread. It was crumbly and sweet. We really enjoyed it. My husband got the Pan Con Lechon sandwich. The pork was very well seasoned and the bread was soft on the inside with a nice crunch on the outside. He ate half before feeling full! I got the vegetarian bowl and thought it was delicious!! I loved the sweet plantains and there was a decent portion of avocado. The avocado vinaigrette was so good! You can get a bottle of it for $8! I also got an americano! It was strong and not bitter! Coffee lovers would love it! They do not have any syrups but you can sweeten your coffee with sugar if you want. I liked this place a lot. I'd recommend this place and will be back too. By the way, I asked about gluten free options and they said all the bowls are gluten free!

However the meal will be great and they have other Caribbean and Hispanic options than just pure Cuban food.

It's a large restaurant and the inside is well decorated. The staff all seemed to be native Spanish speakers and at times they seemed to not understand what we asked. Although they were very nice, service was somewhat slow especially towards the end when we waited to pay our bill. The food was all pretty good though we especially liked the ropa vieja and roasted pork which came in fairly large portions. There were also lots of flavor options for the mojito though they would only honor happy hour at the bar. We didn't love the desserts. Many people seemed to be there celebrating birthdays. There was lots of visual stimulation with strobe lights and a big TV playing music videos. There also was occasionally a man playing piano in the middle of the room.

House salad , added shrimp. Okay but shrimp had no seasonings

What was brought to the table appeared to be sautéed onions with garlic. I politely explained that this wasn't what I was expecting and that I had anticipated a sauce with a thinner consistency. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably confrontational and he insisted that what had been served was the sauce I was describing. The interaction became uncomfortable, and the server continued to give us what felt like dirty looks for the remainder of our visit. The situation left us feeling unwelcome and ultimately made us want to leave. I've included a photo so others can decide for themselves whether what was served matches the description of a garlic/mojo sauce.

The setup is more fast-casual--you order at the counter and pick up your food at the other end.

The food is where this place really stands out. It's clearly Pacific Asian-inspired and executed very well. We ordered several items to get the full experience, and everything delivered. There's no surprise this place stays busy. Definitely worth checking out.

Being part of the parking structure doesn't mean that they validate your parking. If you can find street parking, definitely do that instead. I had the churassco med-well. It came with two sides, I had the tostones and salad. It was alright, but I definitely had better. I ordered it to eat it there and they put all the sauces in to-go containers, which was weird. The sauces were in such tiny containers, you definitely would need more. My friend got the mushroom arepa and a side of the sweet plantains that she really enjoyed. Service was good. The girl taking our order was super nice and polite. It was more like one step up from fast/food and self-served. You order at the counter and they give you a number for your table and they bring out the food to the table and you clean up after yourself.
