$20 carne asada and they give you a tiny piece of steak that may or may not be charred to a crisp. Gallo pinto was OK and the cheese was pretty much rubber. All in all La lechonera is way better, peace and love read more

Items were a bit limited but the food taste was amazing! Try the bananas, best I've ever had read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Not a native Spanish speaker , so that was a challenge , however I do know taste and names of good food. I had a flight to catch and ordered 2 nacatamal to go plus gallo pinto con queso frito. When I got back to California the next morning food was excellent to re heat. (I steamed the tamal ) and ate the rest of the food with eggs. read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Cheese - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was craving to try Nicaraguan food, this is one of very few places in Orlando that serves (there's way more Nicaraguan options all over Miami) I was happy to know they had a drive thru if you don't feel like going inside, the lady who worked there was very nice and I was surprised at how quick I got the food. I ordered a nacatamal, cacao (to drink), quesillo and a side of gallopinto. The nacatamal was super fresh and very warm, it tasted so good. The quesillo was good but semi cold so I wasn't sure if that's normal to eat it that way? The gallo pinto was good in flavor just wish it was more fresher, but the cacao drink was my favorite!!! I got a large size and it paired so well with everything I got. read more

Terrible , terrible , terrible.... From the moment you walk in you are not even greeted, The two ladies attending they look at you like why you even here , ask them how we order and they just pointed at the stuff in the hot bar without any explanation. Food was horrible , don't waste your money here , it's totally with no flavor and blend ... read more

Visiting from out of town! The Carne Asada was absolutely amazing! Also black beans and rice beyond belief! I highly recommend

Coming from Los Angeles and my family culture is Nicaraguense I feel so much at home coming here. It's been a long search looking for something that describes home. After speaking to another Nicaraguan in Kissimmee he recommended me this place. I FREAKING LOVE IT! Reminds me so much of my mother's country. Nicaragua Managua. I had shredded beef which was soft and tender. Full of flavor. I also had chancho pollo (fried chicken). Gallo Pinto : black beans and white rice mixed together & of course platano maduro!! Seriously, I am in heaven. I wanted to buy more food but I have to pace myself. This place is only 12 mins away from where I live and I promised myself to go back and try other things on the menu like the Salpicon. Anyone who is interested in eating Nicaraguan food this is the place to go. From one Nicaraguan to another.... Salud! read more

I wish I could give this place a better rating. I wanted to like it but, unfortunately, it's not very good. To begin with, the food is kept warm under lamps rather than made fresh, which was unexpected and off putting right from the start. Secondly, the employees are not very helpful or attentive. Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, the old isn't great. I had tajadas which lacked flavor, as did the accompanying ensalada. I also had the quest frito which was flavorful but not warm and melty enough as, I previously mentioned, the food is kept under warming lamps. The one thing that did taste exactly as it's supposed to was the cacao drink, it was truly delectable! Overall, though, I didn't have a great experience and wouldn't recommend Fritanga La Nueva. read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

One word: SABOR! (Flavor) Eating here makes me want to visit Nicaragua. I think they have the best roasted chicken in town! I also love their carne asada. So much so, that now if I go to a steak house and spend $30+ on a steak, I'm so disappointed because I know I could get the most flavorful carne asada at Fritanga La Nueva for half the price! The portions here are big. I usually can make two meals out of it. I absolutely love their soups too. Sometimes it's chicken, sometimes beef, and they put everything from potatoes, carrots, corn, and some other root vegetables that I'm not even familiar with but that are all so delicious. You get it with a side, and I highly recommend getting their homemade tortillas! If I'm feeling under the weather at all, this is my go to place for soup. I wish I knew how to cook like they do! The darker rice they have is gallo pinto, or they have white rice with black beans (arroz blanco con gandules). I usually get maduros as my side, but the fried cheese (Queso frito) and plantain chips (tajadas) are also favorites. Pretty much any pork or beef dish they have is delicious! I usually just point to whatever looks the freshest and I'm never disappointed. They offer you a salad with it which I usually pass on, it's more of a local in the know flavor I think. I always get their hot sauce (picante) with my carne asada. It's chopped peppers and onions with a vinegar style sauce and it's so good, they even sell it on its own. This place is actually a sister restaurant to Areperia La Nueva, which has Venezuelan style arepas and other food and is open late. They're both located in a shopping plaza off of Semoran right between Colonial and the 408, near a marathon gas station. Pro tip: the parking lot of the shopping plaza has a fresh coconut truck that will cut them open and stick a straw in them for you! Best electrolyte ever. & they also have sold fresh sugar cane on occasion! But if you're looking for something sweet at Fritanga La Nueva, try the rice pudding (arroz con leche)! You may not speak Spanish but that's ok just walk in point to what you want and enjoy some of the best Latin American food in town! read more

I am a chief at the best restaurant at universal studios Orlando resort, I was very impressed how clean the restaurant was, the food I compare it to a place I went in Miami a local restaurant call Fritanga Cana Brava, the tamales were amazing ,the steak was amazing, this is more of a lunch place would like to see more food options, my family is from Nicaragua in Rivas I know what Nicaragua food taste like love the food please keep it up and not change anything. read more

Way too expensive and the food is bland!!! No flavor at all j can however refer you somewhere else it's called the La Managüita Fritanga they are by far less expensive read more

The food was alright, it could've been better. The service was good, however they could be better serving. The restroom were locked it seems they didn't want people to use it. The ambiance could have been playing some music on the background. Especially for tourists that drive from distant. I understand the cost of living and grocery is high but at least should offer beverages samples to tastes. Thanks read more

I do not recommend this place at all. I am Nica and from Miami and truthfully this food doesn't come close to the taste Miami has to offer. The prices are so high and the portion very small. And there is no taste. I ordered Nacatamales and the masa has no flavor at all. I couldn't even eat it because it was that bad. I've eaten their before and it's like the quality of the food has just been declining. I've tried different Nica places in LA and Miami but this doesn't come close to home at all. The jugos are pretty good though. At least something! read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Groceries are great, somebody needs to teach the cook to make gallo Pinto, it tastes like nothing! Disappointed! I've been many x and always spend $100 and some each time. Enchiladas, nice! Shredded beef, nice! Chancho/puerco asado, nope! Small portion and dry! You can get some good food! read more

I'm a Nica who comes from Miami and was very excited to see this fritanga in my neighborhood!!! But very disappointed with the prices, portion of food, and quality. Expensive for nothing, never buying food from here again. $15 a plate of food for a strip of meat. read more

The food is one of the best I've tried, since I lived in Miami. For it to be the only Fritanga in Orlando, the service is like being back in Miami, and enjoying my roots. The restaurant is super clean, and well maintained. read more

I have a few Nicaraguan friends and we always ask each other "when are they opening a fritanga in Orlando?" Well, here it is. I actually think that right now there are two fritangas in Orlando, of course, this is the only one I have been to so far. First off, "fritanga" is a pretty unique word to Nicaraguans. It means something like "home made food restaurant" and it also implies "fried foods". That doesn't mean everything here is fried, they also offer stews, soups, grilled and roasted foods, but everything is made and ready for you to point at it and get it boxed, kind of like a cafeteria. I came to get some rice and beans (gallo pinto), some fried white cheese (queso frito), and a cacao drink (cold chocolate/cocoa drink). I was sharing this food with friends, and it was a pretty bold move to go to a restaurant I have never been to before to pull this off. But, if you don't gamble, you don't win... and I love to win. My buddies loved the stuff, and one of my friends told me that the rice and beans actually reminded her of a dish her grandma used to make. That warmed my heart. Love wins always. So, yes, food is good. I also eyed some chicharrones (fried pork), tortillas, white cheeses (queso blanco, queso fresco, queso para freir), pastries, desserts (tres leches), and drinks. This place is legit, go before they blow up. read more

Not friendly at all. The food is old and not authentic Nicaraguan food.They get to work on his customers service.

I don't know what happen but this place is not the same it was in 2020. I just went yesterday for a carne asada with gallo pinto and queso frito. I added manduros and an extra cheese. And I paid $26 for it! I did not see when the lady put the carne asada in the plate because I was tending my baby. When I got I got home,which is an hour away, there was only one piece of lousy carne! I even went a month ago and wanted to throw my food in the trash from how horrible the food taste. They need to get their act together. I don't give a damn if they are the only fritanga. I'm about to tell my mom to come open a spot because this is shameful! read more

I don't know what to say honestly other than this is the most over priced attempt at non authentic Nicaraguan food , this is Nicaraguan food for people who haven't had real authentic Nicaraguan food or don't know much about Nicaraguan food this is terrible not even the bakery section is right nothing taste authentic it's like imitation it's looks the part but taste different at this point the drive to Miami is better than to eat here , I added 2 stars because service is great , place is clean and the rice isn't bad other than that I wouldn't eat here for free read more

$18 for a tiny bit of carn asada piece. I used to like this place but it is way overprice now. I am never coming back. The piece of carne they put, you would need at least 5 to get full, its crazy! read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

they just raise the prices. It's almost $20 for plate of food where they portion out what they give you. I feel like if it wasn't because this is the only fritanga place around, you can get much more food for that price at other places and sometimes I wonder if the ladies there even wanna work. their faces are always so sour they look miserable. Don't get me wrong. The food is good and coming from Miami where we have this kind of restaurants all over the place you crave it but for and for the environment of the workers, I don't know if it's worth it. read more

For being my Very First time eating at a Nicaraguan Restaurant in Orlando. The Carne Asada with Tajadas rice and Beans. I have to say they were really bad. The authentic Gallo pinto from apparently Nicaragua did not have any flavor it was NOT DONE the right way. The Tajadas were oily. I was expecting Like The real Fritangas like the ones in Miami. My review is a very low score when it comes to some of the food. The place is clean. But they need to fix the taste on certain foods. Sorry . I give it a 1.a read more

Our family has a Nicaraguan heritage, so when we found out about Fritanga La Nueva, we decided we have to try it out. And it was worth it. Ordering is straightforward. Pick your rice, protein, and sides. We opted to try rice and beans, fried cheese, fried yuca, fried plantain, zucchini stew, and grilled steak. Nicaraguan cream is offered as a nice condiment to add to almost anything. Flavors were good, and the value was great. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere. Food is ready very quickly, and dining-in is an option. While this wasn't the best Nicaraguan restaurant we'd ever been to, it was a good option in the greater Orlando metro area instead of driving down to Miami! read more

The quesillo is served cold , I have had it in Nicaragua warm melty cheese and warmed onions which is way better than. The food is lacking some flavor it isn't really seasoned right the cacao was decent read more

$22 for 1 piece of steak is absurd! Ladies that were working the front didn't even look like they wanted to help me and the food was tasteless definitely not coming back read more

Very bad service, food cold and not flavored, Tajadas stale,Carne Asada no mention of bad quality. Workers didn't offer to change for something else. The place closes at 9pm and the salad was gone they were scooping up the little bits left over in the pan and they were not going to make any more salad being early still to closing time.. ..This place is putting Nicaraguan food very down when Nicaraguan food is DELICIOUS....NO RATING.. -1..My food went to the trash,, read more

Pricing used to be reasonable and then they marked it up significantly. It's disappointing because the food is actually good.

This place satisfied my fritanga craving!! Came with the hubby and we went to town! Ordered galo pinto (rice and beans), carne asada, nacatamal, maduros, queso frito, mondongo, taquitos, and tortilla with salad. Omg it was sooo delicious!! The ladies there were so sweet and helpful! They serve generous amount too. When I told her I had never tried cacao and semilla de jicamo (like horchata) she served me two little cups to try. Those small gestures make such a difference. Will definitely be coming back!! read more

This place is a disgrace and a rip off! The food isn't fresh. I ordered a carne asada (warmed up in the microwave) and got a baby strip piece of meat, ONE tajada of plantain. The rice was hard and microwaved. Absolutely disgusting flavor and I paid $30! Never eating here again. You've been warned. read more

Fritanga La Nueva - Carne Asada con gallo pinto y queso frito! - Nicaraguan Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Okay I've waited to give a review until they improved their servings and it FINALLY happened!!! I'm 100% Nicaraguan so I know what a good fritanga is. The first few times I had this place I was very disappointed but the last time I just ordered it was DELICIOUS!! Now they can call themselves a Nica Fritanga. I got the carne asada of course and the meat was tender and the Gallopinto was tasty. If you're looking for authentic Nica food in Orlando, this is it! Thank you for improving your services and quality Sincerely, A happy Nicaraguan read more

2 Carne Asada: $29.98 2 Nacatamal 2 go: $18.98 1 Fresco de Pitaya: 5.49 1 Fresco de Chia con Tamarindo: $5.49 1 Café Presto 50g: $9.99 2 Tres Leches: $8.98 =$84.44 As a fellow Nicaraguan, I am extremely pleased with the flavors the food has to offer! Like the carne asada for ex. What I am highly disappointed in are the prices. And what you get for those prices! $15 for a Plate that's not even a plate! It's a damn styrofoam plate that's all flimsy and small. I also hate onions, please don't assume I like onions on top of my cabbage and just put them on top without even asking! Something else is that they don't even give you a knife to slice the Carne Asada. I'm over here tearing it with my fingers (don't get me wrong, that doesn't bother me, but at these prices, we should get at least some plastic knives to accompany the plastic knife and spoon) and they also don't even give you a tortilla with the food. Which is the cheapest thing what they give you in a Nicaragua fritanga. Also the servers take forever to serve a small plate, when there's only like 4 people in front of me, one of them gave me a price for Tres leches. And then someone else said they aren't that price, and charged me more! I have added these prices for anyone who is going to go, to realize the prices you will be paying for when you arrive. Outrageous prices even when we're in the USA they shouldn't come up to this much! There's restaurants that are far more fancier and higher quality, with cheaper rates! In conclusion: Food: 6/10 Service: 3/10 read more

Food is good but overprice.. specially when they always manage to forget your plantains and salad.

The place has plenty of parking and is extremely clean. We flew in from LAX tired and hungry. We ordered 2 fritangas, an empanada de plátano, and 2 drinks costing around $35. Not to expensive for the amount of food ordered. The meat was soft, plátanos were tasty, Gallo pinto was not greasy and the empanada was not small. read more

Got the sopa, and it was delicious. We are talking yucca, carrots, tender beef ribs, corn on the con, and other vegetables in a stew. I also got a natural watermelon drink was fresh and also great.
