It's been a while since I've been here, but I remember it being a nice experience. I remember getting a cafe con leche and yuca fries when I worked across the street. I would walk over on my lunch break. The yuca fries were good and the coffee was strong! The staff were always friendly and welcoming and asked about work. I miss those days... read more

Ordered a chicken bowl via uber eats and there wasn't much chicken. I liked that it was breast meat but it was on the dry side and not very flavorful. The bowl was mostly rice and the chopped tomato salad was literally just plain tomatoes. The sauce it came with was delicious and the plantains were cooked perfectly. The bowl was good, nothing tasted bad, but very plain and didn't seem like it was worth $17 read more

See all

Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or a quick cafecito, the food is always fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. I've been here more times than I can count, and every visit is consistently great. The vibe is relaxed with both indoor and outdoor seating, perfect for any kind of meal. I don't live on this side of town, but anytime I'm nearby, stopping here is a must. Everyone is always nice, caring and gentle! Perfect place to study, gather with friends or simply enjoy a meal. Stopped by today for a light bite--just an empanada and a cortado. Sat outside, soaked up the fresh air, and listened to the cars go by on the corner. Simple, peaceful, and always delicious. Black Bean Deli never disappoints. read more

The food was good and the cafe con leche was too although a bit strong then I would have wanted it. Next time I just need to make sure they add a bit more milk. I would go back for sure. read more

Love this place when I'm in Orlando. They have the best cafe con leches and had this new empanada that was like a Cuban sandwich. It's. A must try! read more

Excellent food! I am used to the original one in Winter Park in the small tiny mall, but they have since expanded! I have not been there in a very long time and came with my husband and kids. The food was still exceptionally delicious and a good portion. I just wish the food was hot. I could tell that it was sitting there and that it wasn't extremely fresh, but it was still good nonetheless. I will definitely be back when in the area. It's a type of food that you feel good eating, and you don't feel bad about it after you leave. The black beans are so good and the roasted chicken is phenomenal! read more

One of my hometown favorite comfort foods. I always make sure to get the black beans here but my favorite thing of all is the Havana pork bowl. It's so good! Staff has always been friendly and kind. And the food is always great! read more

I came here to try the Cuban after finding highly rated reviews. The Cuban was perfectly balanced and not too salty. I also tried a homemade ham and cheese empanada which was super fresh and gooey in the middle! Definitely a great spot to grab lunch and sit outside! read more

Black Bean Deli - The Cuban - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

One of my favorites in Orlando for sure! I usually get the chopped chicken or picadillo bowl and swap the side to get the yuca fries!!! My favorite side for sure and the ambiance is chill you can even stop by and do some work with your laptop as well. Each time I go it's a pleasant experience and service is quick. They also have great Cuban style coffee which is also so yummmy! read more

Welcomed upon entering. Two clean bathrooms. Seasoning in all the food was good. The chicken was especially delicious read more

Came here with my sister for breakfast. Loved the coffee decor. I ordered a cafe con leche which was okay and then I had 2 empanadas. One was the ropa vieja (shredded beef) and the chicken. Both could've used more seasoning but to start off the day this was the perfect bites before thrifting read more

Black Bean Deli - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Black Bean has been a staple in the Orlando community for a long time, and for good reason! They have two locations, one in Winter Park and one in the Mills / 50 neighborhood. This location has a small inside, but also offers patio seating which is great on a warm and sunny Florida day. To order you'll head inside and go to the main register. They have menus you can look at while you are in line. Be sure to check out the chalkboard for the daily / weekly features! At the register you'll notice some potato balls, empanadas, and croquettes in the case, which I would recommend for an appetizer while you wait for the main meal. The portions are generous, prices are very reasonable, and everything is delicious! Some of my favorites are the croquettas, iced cafe con leche, and their Havana pork plate. The plate comes with a side salad with this addicting avocado dressing, rice, beans, and plantains. It's a filling dish and everything on the plate is delicious and has great flavor! If you end up having leftovers of the pork, i highly recommend reheating it in a pan on your stove over medium heat. It keeps it nice and juicy and tastes super fresh like you just ordered it! read more

OMG I LOVEEEE BLACK BEAN DELI!! I actually heard about this spot from a client and they raved about it. From the cafecito to the pernil and bread. Everything is fantastic! My favorite is the Havana pork platter. I always opt for yucca fries instead of the sweet plantains as I prefer a crunch. The sauces are also a great compliment to the yucca fries and salad. The restaurant has plenty of seating and always appears clean. The staff will give you a number when you order and then they bring your food to you when it's ready. They are attentive and can give you a to-go container if you can't finish it all. read more

Black Bean Deli - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This location is a small cafeteria setting with outside seating available. The parking is very limited with additional street parking. Food is ordered at the register then brought to your table. I ordered the Pan con Bistec sandwich. Oh I was so sad. The steak was way over cooked, dry and so salty. Onions where none existent and the pink salsa barely there. I ordered a café con leche to go. Not good, watery, and overpriced. read more

Maybe I'm just spoiled or used to Miami guava and cheese pastelitos but i wasn't a big fan of this one. I'm not sure what type of cheese it is. It just took me by surprise. The pastry was delicious and flaky but the filling was very underwhelming. They were fresh though! I also had the media noche which was good and the papa rellenas. Great flavor on this but there was more potato than meat. I took my order to go. Great ambience and customer service! read more

Black Bean Deli - Guava and cheese pastelitos - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Great spot! Would recommend to people of all ages! Especially for those who dig Cuban fare.

The day I find authentic Cuban in Orlando is finally here. And all thanks to Yelp. I even learned they have a second location giving the people more than one chance to try Black Bean Deli. The parking lot is pretty tiny so hopefully you'll have some luck finding street parking. You order at the counter and are handed a number to take to your seat while you wait for them to bring your food to you. The menu has a ton of authentic Cuban dishes available and some with a twist. We tried their media noche and the bread was out of bounds. Sweet and pressed to perfection. The steak sandwich came smeared with a delicious red sauce that complemented the steak more than I thought I needed. The Cuban sandwich is $9 before 3pm which we just had to try. Again, it was the pressed sweet bread for me. And the Havana pork bowl was chefs kiss. With a side iron beer IYKYK. The staff were friendly and patient while we explored the menu for the first time. The inside decor is homey and comfortable with a modern twist. There's also outdoor seating available. Will absolutely make a point to come back the next time I'm in town. read more

Have been coming to the black bean deli for the last 10 years and I'm sad to say that I think their customer service, quality of taste and overall customer satisfaction has declined over the years. The staff is not as friendly as they used to be, there is no consistency in the quality of food taste and the staff take forever to work on the coffees. I still consider this place a gem of the community and would love to see it bounce back to its earlier times! Hope management reads my review! read more

Awesome food! Love the ropa vieja empanadas!! Super yummie !! I love the lunch specials! Very reasonable prices!

If you're ever in the mood for Cuban food, please don't second-guess it and come here. One of the best Cuban food I've ever had in Orlando, Florida and this is coming from someone who has been living here for over 20 years and I've tried many different Cuban places. Everything on the menu was delicious from the croquettas down to the Cuban sandwiches. Everything was honestly perfect. I wouldn't change anything about the menu. read more

Sometimes I order the salad with the roasted chicken, but now it's different. Salad portion is smaller and it's drier cubed chicken breast rather than a tender leg. I still like the avocado dressing though. We also got the bistec, which was dry. There was no sauce (picture shown) so asked for some and was charged $1 for it. This place used to be so much better, what happened? read more

Simple, can never go wrong with a cafe con leche! Some croquetas, and an empanada. The ropa vieja is just too good. Filled with flavor and juicy! The service is always great and they always take orders with a smile. This location has so many spots to eat, from tables to outside and inside. The outside area is covered so it is okay during a sunny or rainy day. read more

Black Bean Deli - Cuban sandwich lunch special - Cuban Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I finally got around to checking out Black Bean, coming on a Tuesday for the weekly ropa special, and unfortunately left a little disappointed. It certainly wasn't bad - for one thing, the ropa itself wasn't greasy, so that was a plus, but a couple of things kept this from being a satisfying meal: first, I found the flavor profile a little too heavy on the garlic. Also, for $15 it really wasn't a lot of ropa (and I don't even have a large appetite). By way of comparison - and this might be the issue - I was recently at Padrino's in Miami, where the same meal came with around 50% more food, with full table service (and non-disposable tableware), for the exact same price. Again, though, it wasn't bad, and I'd definitely be open to returning to try another dish. read more
