Another good experience at this location. Today we picked up our items versus dining in. The main courses are a really great value and have not really increased in prices in several years. We usually go for the braised pork roast main entrée. A++ Quality, great service, and Awesome taste.

Great food. Have been here several times and had many good things to eat. The media noche sandwich has been our favorite. Also had a great pumpkin espresso martini.

Excellent arepas. The tequeños were very delicious. The place is cute. You can order yourself on the screens, and things come out pretty quickly! I would go back!

Good food Fast service The ambiance and the music is very good is a big place and always be found space for us! Always coming when we are in Orlando!

Another restaurant that is just 5 mins away from where we were staying. You order & pay on the machine when you first come in. Water is self served with a station. Outdoor seating is spacious but it is just too hot to sit there (95oF) even we went for dinner around 6:30, still not cooking down much. My husband loved his Cuban sandwich, filled him up fast. The sweet plantains hit the spot, they look burned but when you eat, it is soft and flavorful. Best plantain I have ever tried at Caribbean restaurant. My sons were so hungry so whatever they ordered, they ate them all and one of them is still a bit hungry. Salmon and shrimp both were fresh and delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

This place was the closest thing to real Spanish food for the hotel district. The ease of entering and placing your order via kiosk made getting my meal exactly the way I wanted. Placed the order, took a number, sat down, and waited. Soon enough the food came out fresh, delicious, juicy, flavorful, and exactly as ordered. I was surprised I missed this place before. Has a beautiful outdoor seating option and parking.

Latin food, nice but casual, counter service. We started with a beef empanada. Dough was flaky, beef flavorful. They also have several alcoholic and nonalcoholic drink options. I had the guava Bellini. Good but very sweet. My husband and I shared the half chicken which is under the main event category. It comes with 3 sides. We chose salad, yellow rice and sweet plantains. I'm glad we chose to get one entrée because this was quite large and enough for two people. Everything was full of flavor very delicious. Atmosphere is casual but still very nice. We are from the Midwest which doesn't have a lot of Latin food options. This was perfect for us. Highly recommend.

Great Latin restaurant! You can order at the kiosk or with a cashier and the food is brought out to you. You get your own drinks and utensils etc. Prices were very reasonable. Food was delicious. We had a party of 13, we ordered in groups of 3. Food came out quickly. Main thing, weather was not good and they mostly have outdoor seating. Indoor was packed. That made our experience not good.

This is a well subscribed Latin restaurant in the Orlando/Kissimmee area, likely because it is reasonably priced, can accommodate large groups and the plates are large and tasty. It's majority self service: you order at a kiosk, take a number they will bring the food. Grab your utensils, Napkins and water cup from a nearby station. With both outdoor and indoor seating, the place was packed for a Saturday evening between 6-8pm, so keep that in mind.
