Patacon Maduro! Filled with so much flavor
Laurel B.

Best patacon maduro I ever had!!!! Filled with so much flavor. I highly recommend this place. Don't forget to put the added sauces they have available on the counter. So delicious! The papas locas is great too. Decent prices!

I just left this place and couldn't wait to write a review. Came here after searching Yelp for an inexpensive, Latin lunch nearby. Anyone who knows me, knows I love Latin American food. From Argentina to Cuba I love all Latin cuisine. As I was driving to have my car serviced, I realized I was in a culturally-rich, Latino neighborhood. In my short drive I saw Mexican , Dominican , Venezuelan , Cuban and Colombian restaurants lining my route. I immediately paused and scanned my Yelp for lunch so I could patronize one of the small businesses in the area. This cute spot is in the food court of the Plaza del Sol Latin American Mall. When you walk in the main entrance of the mall itself you're immediately hit with tons of Latino shops selling everything from fajas to vestidos formales. It has an awesome vibe. Just around the corner is the food court. Arepazoo Is in the back right corner of the food court. Being that I had already looked them up on Yelp, I I already knew what I wanted. The Patacones con carne . I also ordered Kola Champagne (one of my faves). My total with tax, was only $8.05. After waiting about five to seven minutes, I received a buzz on my pager telling me that the food was ready. When I walked up, I found perfectly cooked patacones enveloping a serious sandwich. Yum After I took my Yelp-requisite picture (you're welcome ) I dug in. Before I spill the tea let's rewind. I love Patacones. They are my absolute favorite side. I love them so much, I can make a meal out of them. My Grandma and my friend's mom are tied for the best Patacones ever in my book. I am a patacones oficiando. I know good ones and I know bad ones. It may seem like a straightforward dish but in reality, it is one not easily mastered. Now for the tea this sandwich was effin' AMAZING. Patacones that were crispy and well seasoned and the perfect thickness cooked in nice clean oil. The carne was amazing, cooked ropa vieja style and seasoned to the nines. It was tender and juicy. The carne was topped with lettuce, tomato , queso fresco and two house-made salsas (roja y verde) both mayo-based. When I tell you I devoured this sandwich, I mean it. Best of all, this $8 gem of a meal had me stuffed full. When I finished, I had to take a break because I immediately felt a post-meal nap trying to take me down right at the food court table. After a brisk walk through the mall, I was back on my way. Absolutely loved this place. It ranks high on the best things I've ever eaten. I'll be back.

It was our first time here and we live in the area and are always trying new places…read more This was awesome. Lyndsey our server was just amazing in every way. On top of everything attentive just insanely good The food was great. I wasn't sure what was what with the meat as it was all chopped but it tasted great. The sauces were good. My only complaint was she made me choose the cornbread cause she said it was made in house but it needed more flavor. The last thing I'll even say bad though cause i will be back just for Lindsey! This place is a must try by Kissimmee waterfront park.

Thanks to Yelp! I was able to find a restaurant to fulfill my craving for some delicious ribs in…read morethe area! I was about 25 minutes away, when I took my family here, and they were wondering where we were going, but let me tell you, they were not disappointed by the food, service and the surround area. When we arrived, it seemed like a downtown area that was kind of chill because it was a Tuesday early evening. Barely any traffic around and tons of open parking, especially right in front to the restaurant. From the front I noticed some funny signs, a patio that was wide open for seating, yard games and a nice cozy dive bar vibe. When we went inside, we were immediately greeted at the counter by our server. It was not busy, there was actually only one customer sitting at the bar. The bar has about 6 seats and has TVs to watch and the restaurant if filled with tons of cool Classic Rock pictures, memorabilia and quotes. It was just the vibe we needed to just hang as a family. The server allowed us to pick any table we wanted. We ordered margaritas. They were delicious. We also has the RIBS, okra, mac & cheese, potato salad, some greens, cornbread, brisket, grilled cheese sandwich and fries. EVERYTHING, including the SERVICE was on point; we left well fed, satisfied and happy we found this place to eat tonight. To walk off the food , there is a park right across the street. At the park you will find food trucks for dessert, like ice cream on a hot day. There's also a walking trail and a play ground for the kiddos. There was an area where people were fishing off the doc. I saw an area where people also get married and a facility for our veterans. I included some pictures of what I saw along my way after I left the restaurant for people looking for things to do in the area with a family and/or friends. If you're ever in the area, I highly recommend you stop by this restaurant for some good eats, drinks and just a place to relax and have a good time. There's also service is great and the area is filled with things to do afterwards. Thank me later.

We love Metro Diner! Super affordable and good breakfast cafe food. This location is pretty…read morespacious, and we've only had to wait for a table on a Saturday or Sunday morning, and they text you when your table is ready. We've always had GREAT servers here, super friendly.

Where do I start? First, the booth they sat us at was FILTHY! I literally sat down and leaned…read moreagainst it and my shirt STUCK to the back of the booth. I waited for someone to wipe it down and even said multiple times it was dirty. Food was all over it, and on the floor. My son ended up wiping it out with his hands as best he could. There was still food in all the crevices surround the booth because they have a wooden lil around it. So I got to sit in a very uncomfortable position because I couldn't lean back. Then a customer came into the booth behind me and when he sat down it literally lifted us into the table. The menus were also sticky and filthy. So, we ordered and it was a disaster. My waffle was wrong. I said no butter, no powdered sugar, no bananas and I asked if I could have blueberries instead of bananas. The waiter said yes I could substitute. Then I asked for hash browns extra crispy. My son ordered chicken tenders and fries. His chicken was so burned it has black parts ALL OVER THEM! My waffle had all the things I said no to, and then he said I wasn't allowed to have blueberries, even though he had said I could substitute. So I had to remake my waffle correctly and they served me a raw waffle the second time. Also the hash browns were black on top and the inside was still raw. I said please take the food off my check because we weren't going to eat it and he only took the waffle off. I guess he expected me to eat raw hash browns and black chicken. They didn't even offer to remake the chicken tenders. Very disappointing experience. The server wasn't apologetic at all. We talked to him several times trying to get his attention to fix it, and he walked off every time, not acknowledging us. We were trying to make sure he heard our order because we weee tying to make sure food didn't get wasted, if he didn't put the order in correctly. I understand when you are busy, but because he ignored us multiple times the orders were wrong and food was wasted. Don't think we will return. Horrible experience. I don't recommend this place at all. I understand things are wrong and when that happens the least you can do is apologize and try to make it right. They only tried to fix my waffle and then it came back out raw. It was so gross I spit the bite out because it was nothing but raw batter. At least apologize! Didn't get any part of our order right, no apology, and we had to skip eating. We were both starving walking out of there.

I came here on a quiet-er night I believe, but I imagine this place probably could get busy because…read moreit's a really great spot! First and foremost however, this is not a speakeasy, I'm not sure why it's called that I feel like it's a bit misleading but still great! I'm not sure if they have food - we only had some drinks, but you walk in and see a big bar welcoming you, there's TVs of course, and a TouchTunes jukebox you can set your own vibe to at some point but when I was there - the attached room off to the left had a small stage area and tons of loud music with lights, presumably to set up a dance floor area. It was not busy when I was there so there was no one dancing, but again... so much potential that I imagine this place is probably popping usually.. and the music was SO GOOD!! Lots of throw backs. Will definitely return !

I really wanted to love this place. The ambience was the best part of this place…read more The food? Not so much. Everything was really bland. My son had gotten the steak tacos and he said that it tasted like they had not seasoned it at all. I had tried his rice and tasted just like salt and nothing else so I just felt like I was eating a salt lick. Their french fries were good though! Customer service? It was good and not so good at the same time. They seemed in quite a rush. But yet there was not really too many people there. I just felt hurried and I felt that it wasn't very personable, our interactions felt rushed. Yet there was a time where I needed to go to the bar to ask for something and they were very polite. So it's a tossup as far as is there customer service good or not.‍

A coworker and I stopped here for a quick bite to eat today. As many other reviewers have…read morementioned, the interior aesthetic is attractive and very cute. There are plenty of places to take cute Instagram pictures. However, that does not help the overall score of the rest of the experience. When we first arrived, we were instructed to review the menu at a seat-yourself station and then return to the front to place our order. There were some interesting and tasty-looking options to pick from. Unfortunately, I was a bit perplexed by the pricing on the menu versus what came up on the cash register. I ordered the Mixed Berries Crepes with Nutella ($11), and I was going to order a Strawberry Boba for $5, but instead my total was nearing $25 dollars?? The pricing did not match the menu. The cash register didn't seem very friendly. When I noticed my crepe read "Banana/Strawberry" instead of Mixed Berry. I clarified I was getting the correct order. She told me, "Yes, yes." (Spoil alert: I did not get the mixed berries but instead a Strawberry and Banana Crepe...) I paid, and then took the little marker flag with a number they give you so the waitresses can find the correct table to deliver the orders to. My coworker and I waited in the back for our orders. Although we ordered back-to-back, the orders were fulfilled at different intervals. When my order finally arrived, the waitress was looking for the right table to deliver it to. I raised my hand and said it was my order. She looked at me with scrutiny as if I were lying to her. ( What was the point of the flag marker with the number then, if you're uncertain of the order???) My crepe was pretty, but overall, it was okay in flavor and taste. It wasn't very hot, though, and was lukewarm. I would give the crepe a 3 out of 5 stars. It wasn't horrible, but it wasn't anything I'd come running back for. The staff wasn't the friendliest and seemed confused and disorganized. I would not come back here again. Read the prior low reviews, as most of the complaints others have had with this establishment seem to be a running occurrence.

Came here while waiting for an event to start. The service was not great. The waitresses looked…read morelike they did not know what they were doing. They gave you a number for your order for the table but when they bring out your food, they were searching by individual people by asking who ordered what. The ambiance is nice but i have allergies and mold sensitivity and my eyes started getting irradiated. The food was okay not greasy. I had the side of eggs with turkey bacon and toast. Overall It was an okay experience but a little chaotic.
