First off, the food has always been really good. I have yet to have something i didn't like. Well, the chicharon de pollo was not what I expected but it was good. My favorites are the pork and the steak. Great flavors and plenty of food. The rice and beans are good also. The prices are OK. Not too much for a bunch of food. The parking is easy to get in and out of but a bit tight. Back to the food. The pork was tender and tasty. The steak and onions was just as thought it should be. Very tender and good flavor. The service is always good. The guys at the counter is always pleasent. It may not look like much but these are my favorite kinds of hole in the wall. This place does not disappoint. You should try it. I recommend it.

Cafe Con Leche -- ABSOLUTE WOW…read more Okay... this place is AWESOME. Like already thinking about when I can go back awesome. I had the chorizo tacos....bold, flavorful, perfectly cooked, and honestly mouth-watering. He ordered the burrito, which came with crispy home fries, and we added a side of rice and beans to share (which was 100% the right call). Then came the pièce de résistance... Banana tres leches Holy. Smokes. Melt-in-your-mouth, not-too-sweet, rich without being heavy. The kind of dessert where conversation pauses because everyone is busy having a moment. The vibe: Not fancy. You order at the counter, grab a seat, and the magic happens. The people are so kind, the food comes out with love, and it feels authentic in the best possible way. Bottom line: Comforting, flavorful, crave-worthy food made by genuinely nice people. I'm already craving it again... and that says everything. This is the kind of place you tell your friends about...then bring them with you next time.

On our way back from the airport, my wife and I decided to stop at Lelo's BBQ on Saxon Blvd in…read moreOrange City, FL--and wow, what a delicious detour! I went with yellow rice, red beans, and sweet plantains. My wife ordered the chicken combo with a side of yellow rice and yuca (her first time trying yuca!). The lady helping us (pretty sure it was the owner) was incredibly friendly and patient, guiding us through the menu like old friends. We paid, grabbed a table, and dug in. My wife took one bite of the rotisserie chicken and declared it the best she's had in ages--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and falling off the bone. No surprise there; we spotted those massive rotisserie ovens spinning away, so chicken is clearly their specialty! She then tried the yuca (boiled and crispy-edged, I assume) and loved it--said it was buttery and addictive. Her yellow rice had tasty chunks of different meats mixed in, and she couldn't stop raving about the flavor. I mixed my yellow rice (a different style from hers) with the red beans on the plate--pure comfort food heaven, rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The sweet plantains? Outstanding. Caramelized just right, sweet but not overpowering, soft inside with that ideal crisp edge. Every bite was perfection. The place had a great vibe too--clean bathrooms, lively Spanish beats playing, and a casual, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We're already planning our next visit to try more dishes (that mofongo and rotisserie chicken platter are calling our names!). If you're craving authentic Puerto Rican BBQ and sides done right, Lelo's is a must-stop. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way!

The #1 Chicken combo and #3 Pork combo is always the choice, as plantains and yellow rice with sausage, so good and the servings are quite gracious for the price and value.

Excellentemente! Let me tell you! To die for!!!…read more This place is cute with the fun famous caricature Puerto Rican celebrities by an award winning artist. Their pics are on the wall and their story of the celebrities are on the napkin holders. Now you will find Puerto Rican rotisserie chicken - moist and tasty. Not dry! You will find other excellent Puerto Rican fare here - roasted pork, mofongo, trifongo, empanadas, alcapurrias, rice con gandules. We ordered a 1/2 chicken entree with sweet plantains. Our other entree is their pastelon. This is a must try. It's sweet plantain lasagna. Instead of noodles it's sweet plantains. Sweet and savory heaven here. You pick the two sides. I picked yuca with mojo(I ordered this for my hubby) along with it, sweet plantains. So good and so big and great price. They also give you some yummy samples - bread pudding and another pudding with coquito l.

The pork was succulent! I added a chicarone and it was crunchy and delicious! I would definitely recommend! We had so many leftover sides that I made fried rice the following day and added the Yuca to my pot roast on another meal. What impressed me, was they forgot the green banana salad in my order and called me to tell me while I was on my way home. Soooo sweet of them! I will try them again!

We got off the trolley at Stop 20, National Shrine of Our Lady of La Leche, and were going to walk to the restaurant. Unbeknownst to us, there was no crosswalk to cross the busy Ponce de Leon boulevard. Mom isn't as spry as she once was so we didn't risk crossing without a crosswalk, so we had to walk another 1/4 or so to the nearest crosswalk then doubled back to the restaurant. Located in the The Ponce St. Augustine hotel, the restaurant is just to the left of the main doors. We had to wait a bit to get seated as the lone server had to clean a table first. Service was slow. I ordered the Bistec a Caballo (medium), my wife tried their Pork de Leon with fries and my mom opted for the Inca bowl. Did I say service was slow? Our orders weren't synched up. My order and my wife's sandwich were served first and we had to wait a few minutes before my mom's dish was served. My wife liked her sandwich and fries although she thought the shredded pork was a bit dry. My mom liked the flavors of her dish, with tender cuts of meat and smoky soy sauce flavor. The Bistec a Caballo had decent flavors BUT that steak was tough, even ordered medium. I felt like I was cutting through shoe leather cutting it with the serrated knife. Slow service and a tough steak bumped our rating down. We just couldn't overlook the quality and/or preparation of my steak, even with good flavors. Lunch for 3 came out to just over $67 with tip. Oh yeah, they add a surcharge for credit card payments.

Ordering was made easy and quick with the self-ordering kiosks. I had to settle for the Chicken Lo Mein because the were out of the orange Chicken.

The chicken Lo Mein was served with spaghetti instead of traditional noodle , the sauce was Salty but lacked Flavor. The rice was very crunchy to crunchy and it bearly had a pork ,egg or veggies, the Eggrolls felt more like frozen ready then in house made. I have to say wait time for order was less then 10 mins.
