    Haven't visited Melao in a long time and decided to go for breakfast. When we first arrived it wasn't too busy and shortly after got very busy. I like that you can order at the counter or at a kiosk. But the initial thought as you walk in is the old and outdated. Definitely needs some renovations to the location. As for staff the interaction with the lady at register taking orders was good but the lady at the pick up counter, Ileana, was very rude. She was yelling at everyone including customers. As for food it was good but I've had better. The major disappointment was I ordered a quesito and it was cold as if they just took it out of the refrigerator so it was horrible. I should've gone back to return it but it was busy so just took it home and warmed it up. Also the toast with butter barely had any butter making super dry and hard to eat. Definitely want a good experience and don't see myself going back.

    Tripleta
    Samantha R H.

    Typically the tripleta is something I order at every Puerto Rican sub establishment. I was excited knowing that this is not a chain and locally owned. We had to wait a bit for the order as well, so I figured it would be hot and/or fresh. We had ordered three subs, only one of them was hot. The meat in the tripleta was thick and a bit tough to chew through. I couldn't taste anything other than the pernil and tomato. The medianoche was the only hot sub where we could properly taste all the ingredients on. We ended up getting an Oreo cheesecake as well, but it tasted like something was off about the whipped cream. It was also freezing cold, so you had to almost let it melt in your mouth before you could properly taste it.

    Pastels
    Latoya J.

    Was a bad experience & Not a good representation for authentic Puerto Rican food. The wait for the food was terrible. Pasteles had very little meat and very bland. Shrimp was very salty the rice was over cooked and the beans was the only saving factor of the meal but after 4 bites that was enough.

    I love everything on the food and dessert menu. There's always a small wait time since it is a popular spot but service is pretty quick for all orders made to eat. Highly recommend!

    Pineapple yellow cake very good
    Steven C.

    We had a great Cuban sandwich and a pineapple yellow cake for desert. Both were excellent. The Cuban has to be one of the best in town.

    Great place for lunch, they have a lot of varieties of food and sweets. Staff is good , sometimes they talk to each other too much but overall great place for Spanish food.

    Sand Medianoche

    Sandwiches are pricey and they are actually small. It does take a while to get your order too. Try FL bakery. They are better and way cheaper.

    Wow! This place has some amazing dishes mostly Puerto Richowever we went to check them for the sandwiches which is hard because all look delicious, we went for the tripletongo wrap a slow cooked pork,ham, beefsteak swiss cheese pressed sandwich which includes lettuce, tomatoes mofongo and mayoketchup, i could not say enough its a must have. Most of the dishes all look delicious including their prepared meals which you can get a take home full meal. Busiest times seem to after 12noon, but the service was quick. We each had also a shake of passion fruit which was amazing, but next time I would like to try their nutella coffee sounds like heaven. Breakfast is also served in addition to lunch both range in prices between 8.99 to 22.00 with 22.00 being a full meal. The place is pretty big for seating enough people without feeling overwhelmed. If ever in the Orlando area highly recommend going to the Orlando location, but they also have one in Kissimmee.

    Great service and even better food! This bakery made me feel like I was back in Puerto Rico. From the friendly service to the pastries, the coffee and the sandwiches, Melao is where you need to go. We ordered sandwiches and coffee and a pastry. The sandwiches are Huge!!! I had my favorite donut. It's a sugar donut I used to have as a kid. My husband had the quesito pastry. Would definitely go back for the pastrami sandwich.

    Best and most authentic Puerto Rican food I've had outside the island. This place is packed with a ton of delicious food options. They also have a bakery to full of treats. They also had my favorite bread "pan sobao" fresh and warm. Don't let the full parking lot scare you away. The service is definitely not slow. And there's plenty of seating inside for all. Thus, the crowd alone suggests nothing but goodness.

    I love stopping by this bakery whenever I am in this area. The baked goods are delicious. My favorites are the sugar donuts and the quesitos. They have 3 different lines to order, bakery line, to go line, cafeteria style line for all the other food on the steam food line. The staff is great, they get you in and out. The dining area is a large cafeteria style, it work, people move in and out of the seating, so don't stress if it is packed.

    There are very few places like Melao Bakery in Orlando. If you want to truly taste, Puerto Rican cuisine in Orlando this is the place to go. The service is impeccable. The food is impeccable and the ambience is typically Puerto Rican. I recommend you try a truly local delicacy as a bakery item called I recommend you try a truly local delicacy as a bakery item called Quesito. The bread and all the pastries are typically Puerto Rican so you can feel comfortable ordering any one of them.

My GPS had me go past this location which is almost directly across the street from Coggin Honda, behind a gas station. After a quick call to the restaurant the owner helped me out. Since he knew I was on the way he had started boxing up my food. The bag was heavy because I got pork and a big juicy piece of baked chicken. The rice was flavorful and had pigeon peas. The beans were thoughtfully placed in a separate small container. I also got fried plantains and chicharrones. My favorite was the beans because they were so flavorful and seemed to be a different bean than I am used to. I ended up preferring the chicken over the pork but both were good. They have a steam table with several choices but offer food by the meal. Once I located the restaurant (they have lots of lights in the front window,) I found the restaurant to be clean and the owner very kind. We chatted about me getting turned around and how close this is to my home. I have frequented similar restaurants closer to the turnpike but I think I have found a new favorite.

I would suggest coming earlier in the day vs towards the end of the day as the earlier experience and food was better. I ate their Cuban each time. One lacked pork, but generally the taste was good.

I preferred the taste of the tots over the French fries. Ketchup is rationed out, as you need to ask someone behind the counter for ketchup.

They had a couple of swinging bench seats, which were unique and fun for the kids to sit on. This was a good option for a fairly quick meal. I would eat here again.
