Last night I had Cubans chicken, white rice, platanos and bread and Puerto Rican grilled chicken also with white rice and platanos. The white rice is no joke, I have never had white rice as amazing as this! Seasoned perfectly! Also got Chicchiron, amazing. Tres Leches coffee flavored, rice pudding and flan. All delicious, put me in a food coma it was all amazing! Tonight we got beef empanadas which were great, more chiccharion, white rice with black beans and platanos it was delicious! Got taquerias 2 shredded pork and 2 beef with sauces and cilantro. I can't say it enough it was the best. For dessert we had bread pudding and tres leches Oreo flavor. Very good. I'm ready for bed and some good dreams. This is a great place and the food is excellent.

However, I want to update that the owner called us the very next morning, apologized for closing early ( she was not onsite, was told it was dead and closed the place-staff onsite had not checked that online reservation was made. She took full responsibility and invited us to come back. We have really enjoyed it in the past and will be back. We just could not make it work this trip. The personal call and accountability goes a long way!

HOLY COW. Spanish River Grill!…read more This NSB gem is truly amazing. I had multiple friends recommend for dinner and everyone agreed it's one of their favorites in town. Well, they were 100% right and I was blown away. Our table of 5 ordered some serious goodies - I just wish we could have eaten more so we could have tried everything on the menu. The bacon wrapped dates were some of the best I've ever had. The whipped cheese with honey was insanely good. The chicken entree was wild -- so tender and flavorful and the potatoes were to die for. We ordered dessert and it was so good and went so fast that we actually ordered a second cake. The food came out super fast and our server was awesome. The restaurant is very low key but nice, nothing stuffy or too casual. I honestly was so surprised but so happy with the experience. Come one, come all, and enjoy your feast!

Thank you to all. We had a great Father's Day at the Columbia once again. We were delayed for our…read more1:15 reservation because the Bridge of the Lion's, which is a double leaf bascule draw bridge, was letting the ships go by, and then Ken, the amazing parking lot attendant, was working hard to get everyone a spot. Our table was upstairs, and thank you to the lovely hostess, we were seated right away. I had called, on the road, to explain our lateness. Gina, our waitress was wonderful,. We were able to share the Father's Day Special. because the NY Strip was large. With Gina's permission, I am posting the video of her making the 1905 Salad. We topped the meal off with a Key Lime Pie, and coffee. Thank you all.

Came here for lunch on Father's Day. It was super busy and we had a reservation…read more Cons: there was a short wait like 15 mins past reservation time, it was super busy in the lobby and you could barely move. It was overwhelming and a bit uncomfortable. Having 3 tiny woman's bathroom stalls for a restaurant that size is ridiculous and anyone off the street could use the restrooms as well. There was quite a wait for the restroom. Nitpicking here but the water glasses were so small, we constantly needed them refilled which is annoying when the restaurant is super busy. I felt bad having to keep asking for it to be refilled. Pros: the food was amazing, so flavorful. Not one bad bite the entire meal. The food: once you order they start you immediately with fresh bread, if I had that at home, I would eat it every meal. I would be so fat, because the fresh bread with the butter is delicious. It is some of the best bread I've ever had. Crunchy on the outside but soo soft inside. A little bit later we got tapas (appetizers) the stuffed mushrooms, and crab coquettes. The mushrooms were so good, tasty, satisfying with the creamy cheese. Again another meal I would eat everyday if I could. We also got the famous 1905 salad. It was good and tasty and everything was fresh, but it tasted just like the Olive Garden salad. Sorry but true. Maybe Olive Garden copied their dressing. The waiter recommended to order the crab stuffed grouper, but I'm not a crab fan. So he recommended the red snapper with the artichokes, onions and sweet red peppers. The snapper was some of the best snapper I've ever had. It just melted in your mouth. The dish was slightly spicy but the tenderness of the snapper made up for it. (I'm not a fan of spicy food). I asked for it with just vegetables and it unfortunately came with the rice and no vegetables. Bummer. Had to ask twice for the side of vegetables, that was really the only downside of the meal. Oh and the fact that their coffee machine was broken. Major bummer. No fun coffee drinks for us today. We ordered dessert. And in my opinion the key lime pie was my favorite. But it's also my favorite dessert and it's hard to mess up a key lime pie. The flan was good also and the they had a special churros dessert with chocolate sauce and vanilla ice cream. I love a good key lime pie though and it was a fresh and creamy. Overall a good meal and experience. I would like to come back on another day when they aren't so busy.

Should you be happening to look for authentic Puerto Rican/hispanic food and you are on the…read moreinterstate, this is one of the best options if not THE best option for you. Hispanic food options like "Arroz con gandules y pernil" are great, but are very expensive for takeout. A plate like this with a fountain drink will come up near $20 per plate, a price I would not pay for considering how cheap it would be. At Lelo's we got 4 FULL plates with 4 drinks that totaled near $50. The food quality was very good. As someone who has parents from the homeland who are picky about their pernil, they said it was great. Take that for what it's worth. Should you be off I-4 coming or leaving Orlando, I highly suggest you try this place. Worth your bang for your buck!

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!
