Brittanie H.

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.

The service here is top notch. Lindsay was my server and took extra good care of me, and my pup! Jordan and Bri are great as well, they really care about their guests. Having been in the food service industry, I can relate to the job and know what it takes. They all have IT, and Big John's is lucky to have them! The atmosphere was perfect. I prefer outdoor seating, and the outside patio area was as clean as the inside. Makes it really easy to stay a while! ;) Overall, this establishment exemplifies what dining SHOULD be. Keep up the great work guys and ladies, you have a new lifelong customer here, no doubt about it!

I seriously can't wait to be back at Big John's! Let me tell you 5 reasons why we WILL be back:…read more 1. Our waitress was absolutely the sweetest. Lindsay gets a special shout-out for being kind, caring, and attentive! What a ray of sunshine! She was so excited when she arrived with my dessert (she made a brownie sundae just for me). It was everything you would want in a sweet treat. A perfectly warm brownie and cold vanilla ice cream topped with whipped cream just hits, and they do it right! 2. The. Meats. Were. GREAT. I got the sampler sliders and my boyfriend got the sampler platter. The slider buns were perfect and even toasted a bit which added major bonus points for me. The pulled pork was tender and flavorful. Brisket was peppery and perfect. Ribs were also veryyyy tenderrrrrr. You can tell the food is made with love. All I could do was smile as I ate my lunch, knowing I have an amazing bbq spot so close to me. 3. The corn nuggets were SO GOOD and SO comforting. Crispy, sweet, and perfect. I eyed the menu before going, and these caught my eye immediately. They did not disappoint. I can't wait to have them again! 4. The sauces were FIRE. The sweet and the crimson were perfect to us. 5. Who doesn't like 80s Rock and Roll?! Its one of those places that make you feel at home. The location is perfect, as well. Lakefront is a great place to dily dally while you digest the deliciousness. Rock on, Big John!!

Such a cute, cozy little café! We had come by Buchito in the downtown Kissimmee area one morning…read moresome months ago but at the time they were closed. Had an early start to the day on 11/11 and decided to swing by and I must say, that was a good decision. LOL! The service is courteous, friendly and quick. Very neat and clean little place. The interiors are fashioned after old European cafes. Very charming! We had the Bacon and egg bagel sandwich, the Spanish avocado toast, a cafe con leche and a mocha latte. The husband said his bagel sandwich was good, not great and could be better if the egg was seasoned. He loved his coffee. My mocha latte was good, could be better if the ratio of the chocolate was increased just a smidgen. But I was absolutely blown away by the Spanish avocado toast! What a delicious combination of quality Spanish chorizo, guacamole, boiled egg slices and onions! It was hands down the best thing I've had for breakfast in years! Offered the husband a bite and he concurred. If not for anything else, we'd definitely return for just this one dish. LOL! Highly recommend trying the Spanish avocado toast at Buchito. It's pure delight in every bite.

My husband had the Peruvian shrimp with yellow rice, salad, and black beans. We were both raving about the taste while eating. They have a range of dishes from across Latin America, and lots of gluten free options. They aren't safe for celiacs though. They use a shared fryer. If you are super sensitive or have celiac, just beware of that. The staff are lovely, friendly and helpful. Conveniently located in the theme parks area near Orlando. You should not miss this restaurant. Try something new if you've never tasted Latin American cuisine, or try it if you've grown up with it. You won't go wrong and you'll likely be back.

Sofrito was amazing…read more We wanted something fast, but not fast food with a large seated area outside. This checked off all of our boxes. You order at a kiosk fast food style, but all of the food is then prepared freshly and authentically. They have a huge menu with all kinds of delicious Latin eats like sandwiches and platters. We absolutely loved our Cuban sammies which came on thick and sweet bread. My kids kept it simple with tenders and fries and also enjoyed! They have a big drink selection and you can find everything from juices to fresh cocktails. The biggest hit was their large indoor screened patio - perfect for my kids to run around. If you want to avoid fast food but also don't feel like taking your kids to a proper sit down restaurant than this is a really great option.

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 with a client for a quick coffee meeting. Little confused on whether you sit and they…read moreserve, or you order and then sit... it was awkward. I felt my questions weren't heard correctly, very much a language barrier there. I did my best to be patient and simplify, but i felt like i was being rude in doing that, so i just settled and ordered from a picture instead of what i wanted. The coffee was fine, the croissant was good. Minimal service once you sit down and get your order. The place i wanted to go was closed.. so we settled, and Im kind of bummed it wasn't better. Hope you have a better experience than me.
