    A special from Express cafe  delicious food. Came two days in a row
    Lorena C.

    The service and food were phenomenal two days in a row and they did not miss !! I asked for a special sandwich and they made it to order turned out to be expectation.

    Iced vanilla latte & hot coffee

    I need one of these places near me!! It was such a staple in our trip. My friends and I went there almost every day while we were in the area for a work conference for breakfast or brunch if that says anything. All the food was so tasty and well made. The dream sandwich lived up to its name, but my favorite food item was the arepas. I highly recommend getting the arepas to eat, they are incredible! Especially the chicken avocado arepa. The bread is perfection, crispy, light. The cheese on the sandwich is charred, warm and rich. The avocado is a nice touch too and paired well with the chicken. They also have this special crema sauce you can use if you ask for it to have with your sandwich. The coffee was also very good and I loved the touch of having the iced drinks in mason jars, so cute! I would just recommend getting light ice because the ice melts quick. The workers were incredibly friendly and attentive and the place had a great ambience. Was very welcoming. There's only outdoor seating, so I would keep that in mind if it's too hot, but it's a nice area to sit and relax while eating. So worth it! Couldn't recommend this local business more! I will be back.

    Breakfast arepa

    We stopped here for breakfast since it had really good reviews and thought it would be inexpensive but that was not the case. We got two breakfast arepas and a steak and cheese arepa with coffees and a guava and cheese pastry. I have never said this in a review before but everything was disappointing. The steak arepa came out with cold cheese in it when it's normally melted with the steak. The steak was chewy and lacked seasoning while the arepa itself was stale so nothing about it was good. The breakfast arepa was bad as well, bacon was chewy and it took forever to come out and we were the only people there. This place looks like a small hole in the wall but with pricing of a nice restaurant. I hate giving bad reviews but my whole group was just extremely dissatisfied with the food. The guava and cheese pastry was old and cost $4, the arepas were $13 each and the cafe con leche were $7. High prices, low quality food. The guy was nice but that's the only good thing we have to say.

    Delicious food. Friendly service. Get the Cuban sandwich! And don't sleep on the juices! Fresh mango juice=yummy!

    Famous Mac and Cheese

    DO NOT GO HERE. JUST DONT. SAVE MONEY AND TIME PLEASE Don't go here at least you have to. Bad service, bad food. Spend $68 on breakfast for 2 ppl. "famous mac and Cheese " is $9 and you are getting a bowl of $1 Kraft mac and cheese. Asked for a refund lady said they don't do a refund if the food is out. We didn't even eat it. The turkey sandwich came out with 3 science of bread in it and got full from one piece because of the amount of bread. Don't waste your time and your money here. It wasn't worth driving 20 min because of good Yelp reviews. Ate sandwiches just because we were starving and had 2 hr drive home. $16 for 3 slices of bread and tomato. For you to decide... And btw frappuccino is a blended drink idk why we just got an iced latte and were charged extra for a 12oz drink. The cups were barely full.

    The location is within a hotel parking lot and it is small. The inside was closed but it looks like there might be a couple of tables. We sat outside and to use the bathroom you have to go across to the hotel lobby. There are great options on the menu and the taste did not disappoint. I would say that it is a bit pricey, and the menu didn't have prices.

    Dream Sandwich!!! I had mines with stake! I added and egg and avocado!!!
    Elizabeth G.

    I wish I could add more stars to this!! The service was a 1000/10. I was FaceTiming my mom and one of the girl brought me something to prop my phone on . The food lorddddd have mercy!! 10/10!! I had a hazelnut latte iced and it was the perfect portion!! I am going back tomorrow to have breakfast!! It's a small place but soooo worth going!!!

    This place is tucked away at the celebration suites but old town; literally a hole in the wall!! A must though if you're near. I had heard about this place before, but decided to stop in today. You order at their window and your food is brought out to one of the 4 tables they have for seating outside. Food is as fresh as can be! Staff is very nice and polite. I ordered the dream sandwich, with steak, and no steak. The everything bagel was toasty yet soft; literally perfect. The steak was cooked well and paired so easily with the rest of the sandwich which had potato sticks, some kind of mustard, tomatoes, and lettuce! I also got perico eggs, which were brought out in a cute little skillet plate (not pictured), but delicious. For a drink, I opted for one of their natural drinks, mango particularly, and it was refreshing as can be! Will definitely have to venture back one day to dry out one of their lovely arepas! Fairly inexpensive also, I ordered 2 drinks, 2 sandwiches, and the eggs for roughly $30, and it was worth it!

    Food was good. A bit pricy for sandwiches but overall a nice small place for a quick Spanish breakfast.

    Place is a cute little shop near a hotel. Only outside seatings that overlook a theme park. Service is fast. Food is delicious. (Freshly juiced juices) Good for a quick & delicious bite. very well recommended

    Great coffee a whole in the wall. The cortadito is excellent, strong the way it should a Cuban coffee be.

    Stopped into El Cilantrillo while staying nearby and wanted something local instead of the usual…read morechain options along Irlo Bronson. Glad I did. I ordered the mofongo con camarones and a Don Q rum cocktail. The drink was smooth and poured properly -- always a good sign. The mofongo itself had great flavor and a generous portion of shrimp on top. It leaned slightly sauce-dependent, but once I added the extra garlic sauce (highly recommend if you're a garlic fan), it really came together. The shrimp were cooked well, not rubbery, and the presentation in the green pilón was a nice touch. Portion size was solid and filling without feeling like overkill. Atmosphere was casual and comfortable -- not fancy, but authentic-feeling and welcoming. Service was friendly and efficient. Overall I'd give it a strong 8/10. I would definitely come back, but next time I'd probably try the pernil or churrasco to explore more of the menu. If you're in the tourist corridor and want something with actual personality instead of another corporate restaurant, this is a solid choice.

    The food was good and portioned perfectly. There was a DJ performing and heard a live band is there…read morelater in the evening. I went with a large party and the waiter was very attentive. The waiter spoke Spanish but with my Spanglish we made it work. I ordered a mango margarita no pics but it hit the spot. Highly recommend this spot for a good time.
