    Look for the black Mambo truck on Main Street.
    Matt M.

    I've been hearing good things about the Cuban food truck on Main Street. A coworker and I decided to give it a try and I have to be honest...it was one of the best Cuban sandwiches I have ever eaten. Having never eaten from a food truck before I was surprised at amazing the meal was and for a good price. $13 for a Cuban sandwich, rich and beans, plantains, and a drink. The sandwich had great flavor, the bread was crisp, the meat was perfectly tender, the salsa on the rice and beans had just the right amount of kick as to not be too overpowering, and the plantains were the perfect complement to it all. Definitely worth stopping at for a quick bite to eat should you see them parked downtown!

    I'm kind of torn with El Mambo: the staff is super friendly, the maduros and the congris are delicious and the cubano is huge. Everything sounds great, right? So why I'm I torn, you ask? Well, after eating a quarter of my cubano, I was done--not because I was full but because the rest of the sandwich had fatty pieces from either the pork or the ham, not sure which of the two, and it wasn't a good texture or taste. I'll come back for the maduros and to try out another of their sandwiches but definitely going to pass on the cubano.

    The cubano!!!

    Found this at the convention center!!! Absolutely fabulous!!! I would search this one out. Had the Cubano and it is wonderful. Very generous portions!!! Could have split one between the two of us.

    Waiting for my empanadas!

    I tried El Mambo sandwich today, and it was the best chicken sandwich I have ever tasted.

The whole experience was not. This was a refreshing experience. They have been open for a short time and this was my first opportunity to stop in. The store was clean, employees were friendly and helpful, and the food was excellent. I walked in around lunchtime and was directed to the back of the store where the line started for ordering. They have a big menu board which I read first to determine what to get. The Cubano sounded good so I decided to give it a try. There were two choices for bread where they started the sandwich and put it in the oven. I was directed to the next station for all the toppings. I had a moment and chatted with the two employees that were there, and the one at the register asked what I got and if I would be having a drink or anything else. I told them I would take a meal which consisted of the sandwich, a drink and chips. On my sandwich came out they asked how I wanted it and directed me to assign that showed all the topics available. I opted for mustard and added hot peppers. I was very impressed with the taste of the sandwich and the hot peppers added a nice touch that you don't normally get on a Cuban. I will definitely be trying this one again in the future. They have several tables to dine at and there are accessible spaces out front. They have a drink station where you would get your own drink. If you're looking for a good hot sandwich, this is a great choice to have in this shopping area.

    Exceptional sandwiches -- feels like a bite of Italy in Ocoee…read more Ispirazione Sandwich Shop is an absolute standout. We ordered the UFO sandwich, the veggie sandwich, and finished with a cannoli--and every single item delivered. The sandwiches were phenomenal. The bread is made to order and it shows: thin, chewy, and perfectly structured for a real sandwich (not soggy, not overbearing). Unique round discs that suited the food perfectly. The UFO sandwich was deeply satisfying - delicious meats, and I added green olive crema and swapped out provolone for stracciatella. The veggie sandwich wasn't an afterthought at all--fresh, flavorful, and genuinely filling. Every ingredient tasted delicious and fresh. The cannoli was spot-on: perfect flavor, just the right level of sweetness, and clearly made with quality ingredients. Not overly sugary, not heavy--just right. The location is also a big plus. It's in a newly built shopping center with really nice pond-side seating, which would be a great place to sit, relax, and actually enjoy the meal. On top of all that, the owners were incredibly kind and welcoming, and the prices are very fair for the quality you're getting. This is the kind of place you root for. If you love real sandwiches, fresh ingredients, and food made with pride, don't miss it. We'll absolutely be back.

    This is my go-to Italian sandwich spot whenever I'm in the area!

The only other thing better than the sandwiches are the creamy, rich, decadent Tiramisu Pistachio! This has to be one of the best tiramisu pistachio that you'll ever try, and I only wish I could eat more of this! The service and ambiance is amazing, friendly, and welcoming! Overall, I would highly recommend visiting this spot whenever you're craving for a classic, fresh Italian sandwich with a side of delicious desserts!

    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.

The cashier, Yorgelis N., had an arrogant and sarcastic attitude that completely ruined the moment. I asked a simple question about whether the toast came with butter, and her response was sarcastic: "I don't put it on, the cook does." Obviously, I understand she's not the one cooking, but as a customer I was just trying to understand how the food is prepared so I could order correctly. I tried to continue asking respectfully, explaining that it was my first time there and that I wanted to know if the breakfast came as a combo or included potatoes, and again her response was sarcastic, as if my question was ridiculous. It's very uncomfortable when, as a customer, you're made to feel ignorant just for not knowing the menu. Even more so at 8 in the morning, when you expect to start your day with a pleasant experience--not a negative attitude. The reality is that service is just as important as the food, and in this case, both failed. It doesn't matter how good the product might be if the customer service is this poor. I'm giving it 1 star only. They should seriously reconsider the kind of staff they have interacting with customers. Customer service is not optional--it's essential.
