I'm already looking forward to the next time I can come eat here! The sandos are huge and I love that it really is the filling and ingredients taking up all that space instead of just bread. I got the sweet and sour tamarind sando and the flavors were so good. The chicken was so crispy and juicy too. And I really want to try the other kinds! read more

Mae Tao & Sons - Sweet and sour tamarind sando - Food Trucks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Now I understand the hype about this place! I ordered the Hot Sando, and it was absolutely delicious. It had the perfect amount of seasoning, and the spice level was spot on! I was a little disappointed to find out they weren't serving platters, and unfortunately, they weren't able to accommodate a shellfish allergy request. That said, I really love the concept and what they're doing. I'm looking forward to seeing what other tasty dishes they come up with! read more

Mae Tao & Sons - Hot Chicken Sando - Food Trucks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I'm glad I didn't have to wait in any long lines to get my sando. I walked right into Lotte's, over to Mae Tao, and ordered immediately. And it only took about ten minutes to get the order. I've been looking at pictures of the OG sando for quite a while. It's crispy chicken thighs topped with pickled cabbage, a spring mix, and black garlic aioli. It's all on a brioche bun and topped with crunchy garlic and more greens. It seems like it would be bursting with flavor, but in my opinion, the flavor was lacking. The amount of chicken is insane. But I would take a little less chicken for some more tingles to my taste buds. Let me be clear, it wasn't bad. Maybe I let all the hype get to me. Or maybe I just need to try one of their other sando's with more intense flavor profiles, like the red curry. I'm sure I'll give it another try sometime in the future when they get their full menu up and running. read more

The original katsu sando really lives up to the hype ever since Mae Tao & Sons opened up shop in Lotté market's food court. Soft brioche bun stuffed to the max with fresh veg and three pieces of fried chicken thigh cutlets. Made to order so it was hot, juicy, and crispy. A flavor explosion for sure. Fair warning it's messy, and big. I actually took a piece of chicken off so it was a bit easier to eat. Still a delicious sandwich.

I was hoping they had more Khmer dishes but was mainly sandwiches. I tried a noodle bowl, wasn't bad. By the way the menu and how the cashier explained what came basic with the noodle I thought would have only gotten some quail eggs, beef meatballs, and tripe, but there was other beef in it so that was nice. The broth had some flavor, little sweet. Noodle texture was good. I hope they'll have meekadung or some kind of saulaw in the future. read more

Damn good. I don't live in FL and I don't love plain basic sandwiches. If you like authentic exotic flavorful , fusion food, you have to try this We got the OG,there is a lil sprinkle of spiciness on top, which I love. Bought the tamarind and the tiger need to go. They are closed on Monday. You have to eat the food right away. If you get it to go, everything will get soggy, both the bun and the fried chicken. I don't care for the tiger beef. read more

Mae Tao & Sons - Food Trucks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

NOTE: I ate here a few months ago so the menu/food may have changed since then. I'm a huge supporter of local and hole-in-the-wall places. This is a food truck but from what I have seen, they are situated in areas where there is seating (though not much). Workers are very nice and friendly; answered any questions we had and offered their opinions on what to get. If they still have it, get the roti fries - you won't regret it. Very flavorful and crispy. Unfortunately, they didn't have the wagyu sandwich at the time we went so we tried their chicken OG sandwich and brisket plate. The sandwich was huge and chicken was well made. The brisket was a bit dry but I really liked the papaya salad. If I was being picky, I would give it a 4 but I really want to see this place flourish so I'm rounding up. Hoping to go back when I visit again! read more

I'll probably get heat on this because this establishment has been dubbed Orlando's most "hot" restaurant BUT I'm not seeing or tasting it. Service : To start, as a new brick and mortar I would assume that employees should be on their p's and q's when greeting customers, especially if it's someone's first time. The girl at the counter was not friendly, not warm and not helpful. Ambiance: It's inside Lotte, so yes, convenient when you're looking to shop and want a quick bite. Food: Meh. Ordered the OG. While the chicken was fried well. It lacked flavor and seasoning. It was messy. Bun to meat ratio- non existent BUT the fact you do get more meat than bun is great since the sandwich is $17. Also ordered the Cambodian noodle soup. Everyone is entitled to have their own interpretation of kuy teav, but for me, it was lacking. Pros: meat was tender. That's about it. Just like the sandwich.. it missed flavor, spices, the yummm factor all around. My tab came up to $5O odd dollars for 2 items and a soda. Was it expensive? You tell me. In the end, a bowl of their kuy teav will cost $20+ dollars. The price listed is the base with only noodles and broth. Everything else is an add-on. Overall.. the experience and food was less than mediocre. Off day for the restaurant? Maybe. I'm a firm believer of try it for yourself. I did. Now if you haven't..Tag you're it! What's your review? read more

Mae Tao is an awesome Cambodian and Lao fusion spot! They started out as a food truck and have now grown into their own location, which is awesome to see. The Wagyu Sando and Lao Hot Chicken Sando were both amazing. Crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, with the perfect balance of flavors. The fried dumplings are my personal favorite, though. Definitely a must-try! The staff is incredibly kind, and the owners are super friendly and welcoming. You can tell they really care about their food and their customers. Great spot if you're looking for something unique and seriously delicious! read more

Mae Tao & Sons - Fried dumplings - Food Trucks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I am so happy to finally make it out to the new location in the lotte market! We got two servings of Fried Dumplings and a Lao Hot Chicken Sando! The Lao Hot Sando is my favorite but I always have to get the dumplings as well! They are just a must have when you go, no matter what Sando you grab. The service is top tier they are so friendly and welcoming and helpful when it comes to the menu! The Sando review, the chicken is super crispy and moist! Every bite is super flavorful and the hot sauce on top is my favorite part! The Dumplings review- I've never had dumplings so instantly craved like as soon as I finish one I want another and when they are gone I immediately think should I go order another round lol We ate the dumplings and attempted to finished the Sando but took it home and we were beyond happy with the leftovers! Happy customers every time! thank you for making such amazing food!!! Can't wait to come back again!! Ps I also had so much fun walking off the food and shopping around the lotte market after eating! I was nervous about it being inside a food market I've never been too, but it was honestly so welcoming and cool! read more

Mae Tao & Sons - A Lao Hot Chicken Sando and two servings of dumplings!! - Food Trucks Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Mae Tao and Sons recently opened up a fixed location inside of the Lotte Plaza Market in West Colonial. I have admittedly never tried their food when they were a food truck, so I can't make a comparison of what their menu is and their food truck menu. But based on the sandos I ate, I wish I had found out about them sooner. We had ordered a Lao Hot Sando, a Red Curry Sando, and a Yuzu Shrimp Sando. The chicken in the Lao Hot and Red Curry Sandos were wonderfully crisp and moist. The shrimp in the Yuzu Shrimp were battered like tempura and also came in a pretty good portion. They definitely did not skimp out on the fillings here, and the portions for what we paid were huge. We didn't have to wait too long for our food either, which was great since we visited the day after their grand opening. I can't wait to try out the rest of their menu read more

Mae Tao & Son's is one of my favorite food trucks in Orlando! They are serving up some pretty incredible Cambodian & Lao fusion street food, and I get so excited every time I see them popped up at an event or at a local biz around town. So far I've tried the pork belly roti, fried chicken dumplings, and the Cambodian wagyu katsu sando -- all amazing! I really love the roti rolls and my husband is a big fan of the sando. The owners are super nice and I'm glad to see them gaining so much local popularity. I see them popped up most frequently at Forward/Slash Distillery, Redlight Redlight, and Tasty Takeover in the Milk District. Be sure to follow them on IG for their schedule and menu updates. If you see them around town, don't skip it (even if the line is long). It's worth the wait! read more

My husband was dying to try this place after a podcast he heard about it on. We found out where they were going to be in quickly planned our week around it. When we got to the distillery that it was at, we weren't ready to eat yet, so we quickly grabbed a drink. A little while later, my husband walked up to be greeted by the kindest staff and chose the OG chicken sandwich - which was what he was there for. Our friends got a platter which consisted of cucumber salad that i got to try! The cucumber salad was extremely fresh and delicious. I did get a little spice to it, but I wasn't sure if it was their chicken seasoning that bled over in the salad. My husband's chicken sandwich was massive, but flavorful. The cost was extremely low in comparison to the amount of food that you get. Looking forward to watching this business progress and grow as they make their way around Orlando. read more

Found this food truck hanging around at the Goblin Market at the Oviedo Mall. The menu looked good, so I decided to patron them. Service was good. Very friendly people who helped me decide what to order. The food took a good long while to come out, so be prepared, but I don't mind that. Shows me that the food was made to order and not just sitting in some hot box. I got the Cambodian Wagyu Katsu Sando (Kroueng Battered Australian Wagyu, Jeow Som Pickled Cabbage, Black Garlic Aioli, Scallions, & Fried Shallots on Brioche). It was Delicious. A juicy, tender beef katsu, nice acid from the pickled cabbage, amazing depth from the aioli, and really awesome texture added on by the fried shallots. This was a great sandwich. I hope I run into this food truck again, so I can try more stuff. read more

Mae Tao and Sons is SO good. Eli and I tried the OG Chicken Sando, Lao Hot Sando, BBQ Tiger Beef Sando, Salmon Larb, and Roti Fries -- and every single dish was a 5/5. We would order all of them again! The OG Chicken Sando definitely deserves the hype, but if you like spicy, get the Lao Hot Sando. The combination of sweet heat, tangy spice, crispy chicken, and juicy chicken is incredible. But my biggest recommendation is the Salmon Larb if you've already had enough sandos. It's tangy, herby, perfectly spicy, and served with subtly sweet purple sweet rice that balances the flavors beautifully. It's something you don't see everywhere, and it was SO flavorful. Everything we tried was delicious. Definitely add Mae Tao and Sons to your Lotte Market food stop! read more

I tried the Lao Hot Sando and am very satisfied with the flavors and love the fusion. Cambodian and Lao cuisine isn't very common in the area so its great Dan and Brit are introducing new flavors in a very familiar fashion for those who may hesitant to try Cambodian/Lao food. The business has gone through a lot of changes since their food truck days and have been improving their menu. Chef Dan seems to be very passionate in what he does and always finds things to make his menu better. I'm sure they'll continue to grow even with the new brick and motar. Highly recommend. Definitely give them a try. read more

Pros: This food truck was at the Goblin Market over here near me at the Oviedo Mall. I'm glad that this truck would support an event such as the Goblin Market. Service was nice. The sandwich didn't come out very timely, but that's actually ok, because that means it was all made fresh, which I like. The sandwich itself was great! Packed with protein, and covered with plenty of fresh veg and texture from fried onions. Cons: No real cons. A nice place. Tips: Get the Cambodian Wagyu Katsu Sando. It was very very good. read more

Delicious sando! Can't wait to try more from here, Dan has done a great job with this menu and has a nice concept.

A DEFINITE MUST TRY! I've visited Mae Tao & Sons a handful of times now across various pop up locations in Orlando and have NEVER had a bad experience! From their early start with a cute tent set up serving delicious sample platters and mango sticky rice to their truck pushing out insanely delicious wagyu and chicken sandos and Cambodian kathiew. This last visit was no different as I'm just making my way through their menu at this point (lol) Today I had the "Laobodian" mixed plate which combines smoked brisket and Cambodian kreung and their OG Lao chicken sando katsu over white rice, served with spicy papaya salad (LAO HOT IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO) and two fried dumplings. The flavors never cease to amaze me. The perfect amount of savory, spicy, sweet, umami explosion. The new dessert this week was Mango sticky rice tres leches which was the perfect amount of sweet to satisfy my cravings! Chef Dan, Brittney and their staff do an amazing job and I'm so happy and excited to see how far they will go! I love seeing SEAsians thriving and more people being open to trying our foods. Keep raising the bar! read more

I stumbled upon this food truck in the parking lot of Lotte's Plaza. I was immediately intrigued by the menu. I mean, a Cambodian Wagyu Katsu Sando? Sounds delish! Since I was planning on eating in the store already, I actually only ordered one thing, which was the Crispy Duck Roti ($18). This was kind of like a duck taco, containing duck breast, house curry sauce, and accompaniments. Honestly, it was the perfect dish that felt built for me (if you knew my taste buds)! I ate it so fast LOL. Although it felt a little pricey... for a small business and a food truck, I understood the cost. Actually, good to note was that one of the workers (I think perhaps an owner) came up to us afterwards and asked how it was and thanked us for coming. That was a kind gesture. I will definitely be a repeat customer if I see these guys again. read more
