    Beef stew with arroz con gandules
    Trish C.

    GOod bang for your buck and delicious to go with it. We have passed by a few times and decided to finally stop in. I regret not doing it sooner. The beef stew with potatoes brought back childhood memories and was very tasty. It could use some additional heat and then it would be perfect.

    Great price with huge portions.

    Visited this restaurant around 2 PM during a Saturday afternoon. Nice huge portion of food with very reasonable price. Like all the other Hispanic cafeterias, I was overwhelmed by the number of choices of food on the steamed table. However, their service was very friendly with both English and Spanish. They would answer any question about their food. I even got to learn about the difference between Dominican and Peruvian fried rice. I was very happy that I ordered the Budin de Pan. One of the best bread pudding I ever had. Not overly sweet but very flavorful. I will visit this restaurant again just to try all their other desserts.

    If you know you want Hispanic food, but don't know WHAT specifically, THIS is your go-to. It's got many options to order, you won't leave disappointed. Who doesn't HATE when that happens? It's a small-ish, cozy, chill spot. You can tell, taste that the food was made with pure knowledge & care formaking the customer happy. This is a picture of my Carne Encebollado, Arroz con Gandulees, Yuca (Meat with Onion, Rice with Pigeon Peas, Cassava) & Pure Leaf Raspberry tea. Also, you get a LOT of "bang for your buck". If you're not "Starvin' Marvin", you'll have plenty of leftovers. Just reheat it, you have another meal right there. It's a double-whammy.

    a plate of food with rice and meat

    I really enjoyed this place. I called before coming in and the employees were so nice! When you first walk in you see the menu and there's signs of how much the lunch special is. The food is super traditional Hispanic food. I loved everything that was in my plate. You get a choice of rice, a protein and a side for the lunch plate. They serve a lot! Everything was very clean, and they were pretty fast. will definitely be coming back :)

    Wow! This place is amazing. Great customer service, felt like I was going to eat at an uncle's house The food was super authentic. Fast service and great portions for the price. Everything was extremely flavorful. I will definitely be back!

    Cuban sandwich
    Deb B.

    I have been here a number of times and couldn't tell you all the different dishes I've tried from their buffet style ordering platform. But I will tell you they've all been great! First of all, this place is hopping, so that's always a good sign. You walk in and can ask for a to go meal (that's what I do) and then you pick your rice (which changes everyday and let's you try all sorts of different styles without getting boring), your meat (again, they're all good, so don't spend too much time trying to decide and instead just close your eyes and pick) and then your side. I'm not sure what it is that I get, ground plantains or something that looks like mashed potatoes, but I get it whenever I can because it is sooooooo good!! Make sure to ask for their garlic sauce and they'll give you some in a little condiment container because just a little off that makes this dish beyond addictive. I tried one of the sandwiches for the first time today - the Cuban - and that was possibly one of the best I've had. Very well flavored and not at all dry. Definitely recommend!!

I've been twice now, but I would be there all the time if I lived closer to Ocoee. It was a quick easy stop while I was on my way home from the Winter Garden area this weekend. They specialize in fresh baked Tigelle sandwiches which is an Italian flatbread. As someone who is watching my carb intake, I really like this thin, light bread. So far, I've tried the Bella Vita and the Picante (spicy) sandwiches. Both are amazing! They use super fresh Italian ingredients like soppressata, mozzarella, mortadella, prosciutto di parma, burrata, and pesto. The to-go packaging for their sandwiches is also on point. They have the cutest little yellow boxes and it's like unboxing a present. One of my absolute favorite things on the menu is their pistachio tiramisu dessert. It's probably one of the best desserts I've ever! I would drive here just for this alone. A MUST! The staff are all super friendly and happy to offer suggestions. Gabriel was so kind and I learned that he's actually from Italy. The cafe itself is small and cozy with some additional outdoor seating. You have to park on the backside of the building and walk around to the storefront. Highly recommended for great lunch spot or early dinner!

We got there on a Wednesday night around 5:30 and it was fairly steady, but there was still plenty of seating. They don't have many individual tables. A lot of their seating is open style seating so you could be at a table with multiple other people. They do have outdoor seating as well, but where the outdoor seating is located is also the side of sun sets on, so it definitely gets warm. I chose a pre-designed salad, the southwest salad. It's a mix of spring greens with corn kernels, black beans, tortilla strips, and a jalapeño avocado ranch dressing. I did opt to put chicken on mine so that does increase the price a little bit because you do have to pay for protein. Overall, the salad was really good very fresh and the chicken definitely tasted like it was cooked fresh as well. I will say the bathroom situation is a little odd as they are unisex bathrooms, but there are only two of them in the building. One of them each time I went up to try to use the restroom was consistently locked, so I'm not sure if it was out of order but it was locked each time I went up. On a busy day - having just two bathroom stalls seems like a design flaw. My biggest complaint is the parking situation. The small strip mall has not only this location but a coffee shop and a tea shop in it as well as a Pilates studio and the parking lot is just simply too small to support all of that business. I ended up parking on the side street because it was so much easier versus trying to fight to find a parking spot.

Before I even got my food, I had a great interaction with Mercedes at the counter. She was genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and didn't rush the moment, which set a really positive tone right away. I ordered a cheesesteak with everything on it, and when it came out, it was clear they don't cut corners here. The sandwich was fully loaded from one end to the other, with finely chopped steak that was juicy and well seasoned. The cheese was melted throughout instead of just sitting on top, so every bite had that same balanced flavor. Even with all the toppings, nothing felt overwhelming, and the bread held everything together without falling apart. It also came with fries, which were hot and crispy, and I paired everything with a peach Crush. That combination worked really well, especially with how rich the cheesesteak was. Between the quality of the food and the customer service, this is an easy recommendation. If you are craving a cheesesteak and want something that actually feels worth it, this spot is a solid choice. The ambience was just simple. It gave a mom and pop shop vibe, I love it.

Place is small, family-run local business. If you grew up in the Philly burbs or just know what a proper cheesesteak is supposed to taste like, do yourself a favor and get over to Winter Garden. Easily the best cheesesteak in Central Florida, full stop. Already planning my next trip. TL;DR: South Jersey/Philly expats, your search is over. Go. Now. Bring napkins.

The Vibe: From the outside, the shop is pretty unassuming, tucked into a strip mall--but that's often where the best deli spots are hiding. When we walked in, we were immediately greeted by a busy lunch rush and a fast-paced New York deli vibe, with staff cranking out sandwiches left and right. Always a good sign. What We Ordered: * Hot Rachel * Classic Italian * 1/2 lb pesto macaroni salad * 1/2 lb redskin potato salad We took everything home for lunch and... Every single thing was delicious. Sandwich Highlights: The Hot Rachel was exactly what you want from a deli sandwich--tender pastrami, melty Swiss, tangy slaw, and toasted rye all working together perfectly. Stacked high and full of flavor. My husband's Classic Italian was also fantastic, loaded with meats and that classic deli balance of flavors. Both deli salads were great, but the pesto macaroni salad was the standout--creamy, herby, and packed with flavor. We're honestly so excited to have discovered a great New York-style deli less than 10 minutes from our house. Safe to say we'll definitely be back soon to work our way through the rest of the menu. Pro tip: Don't skip the deli salads--grab one or two to share with your sandwich.
