    Deliciously exquisite empanadas!! Cooked with the authentic Boricua seasoning!! Stuffed with the filling from top to bottom!! The chicken is really finger licking, but the cheese, sweet plantain and beef is at a different level!! Greatly recommend!! Deliciosas, exquisitas empanadas!! Ricas, ricas con el sazón Boricua!! Preñadas del relleno!! La de pollo está para lamberse los dedos, pero la de queso, amarillos y carne molida está a otro nivel!! Las recomiendo!!

    Excellentemente! Let me tell you! To die for!!!…read more This place is cute with the fun famous caricature Puerto Rican celebrities by an award winning artist. Their pics are on the wall and their story of the celebrities are on the napkin holders. Now you will find Puerto Rican rotisserie chicken - moist and tasty. Not dry! You will find other excellent Puerto Rican fare here - roasted pork, mofongo, trifongo, empanadas, alcapurrias, rice con gandules. We ordered a 1/2 chicken entree with sweet plantains. Our other entree is their pastelon. This is a must try. It's sweet plantain lasagna. Instead of noodles it's sweet plantains. Sweet and savory heaven here. You pick the two sides. I picked yuca with mojo(I ordered this for my hubby) along with it, sweet plantains. So good and so big and great price. They also give you some yummy samples - bread pudding and another pudding with coquito l. They also sell coquito which is the traditional coconut liquor drink to die for, served at Christmas Service is A+!!! Friendly, Helpful, Engaging!!! So glad we came here!!

    You can't go wrong here! They serve authentic Puerto Rican food. The family meals are convenient…read moreand the portion of sides are huge! We got a whole rotisserie chicken and 1/2 lb of pork. The pork was succulent! I added a chicarone and it was crunchy and delicious! I would definitely recommend! We had so many leftover sides that I made fried rice the following day and added the Yuca to my pot roast on another meal. What impressed me, was they forgot the green banana salad in my order and called me to tell me while I was on my way home. Soooo sweet of them! I will try them again! Customer service like this is refreshing!

    Should you be happening to look for authentic Puerto Rican/hispanic food and you are on the…read moreinterstate, this is one of the best options if not THE best option for you. Hispanic food options like "Arroz con gandules y pernil" are great, but are very expensive for takeout. A plate like this with a fountain drink will come up near $20 per plate, a price I would not pay for considering how cheap it would be. At Lelo's we got 4 FULL plates with 4 drinks that totaled near $50. The food quality was very good. As someone who has parents from the homeland who are picky about their pernil, they said it was great. Take that for what it's worth. Should you be off I-4 coming or leaving Orlando, I highly suggest you try this place. Worth your bang for your buck!

    On our way back from the airport, my wife and I decided to stop at Lelo's BBQ on Saxon Blvd in…read moreOrange City, FL--and wow, what a delicious detour! I went with yellow rice, red beans, and sweet plantains. My wife ordered the chicken combo with a side of yellow rice and yuca (her first time trying yuca!). The lady helping us (pretty sure it was the owner) was incredibly friendly and patient, guiding us through the menu like old friends. We paid, grabbed a table, and dug in. My wife took one bite of the rotisserie chicken and declared it the best she's had in ages--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and falling off the bone. No surprise there; we spotted those massive rotisserie ovens spinning away, so chicken is clearly their specialty! She then tried the yuca (boiled and crispy-edged, I assume) and loved it--said it was buttery and addictive. Her yellow rice had tasty chunks of different meats mixed in, and she couldn't stop raving about the flavor. I mixed my yellow rice (a different style from hers) with the red beans on the plate--pure comfort food heaven, rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The sweet plantains? Outstanding. Caramelized just right, sweet but not overpowering, soft inside with that ideal crisp edge. Every bite was perfection. The place had a great vibe too--clean bathrooms, lively Spanish beats playing, and a casual, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We're already planning our next visit to try more dishes (that mofongo and rotisserie chicken platter are calling our names!). If you're craving authentic Puerto Rican BBQ and sides done right, Lelo's is a must-stop. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way!

    This. Food. Is. Amazing…read more ...but like a flash in the pan; they're already gone. A cryptic message and off they go to greener pastures. What the hell is happening at Lokels Only that causes a brilliant and extremely talented Brown woman and entrepreneur to pack her DELICIOUS shit up and leave within one week of her grand opening? We may never know. Her announcement was professional and powerful... class act. For the record, the food was fantastic. I went on opening night and ordered two beef empanadas, two chicken empanadas, arroz con gandules, y platanos. The empanadas were perfectly crisp and not too hard and not the slightest bit soggy. Internally they were moist and seasoned perfectly. When I say they were the best Puerto Rican empanadas I have had in over a decade (last time was in NYC), I am not exaggerating. The arroz con gandules had the perfect chew and were seasoned well. I hate when there is too much cumin in the rice, and I hate when the rice is soggy. She has this down to a science. The fried platanos were perfectly sweet and CRISP on the outside, and just right in their softness (see: not overcooked and mushy, but also perfectly ripe to begin with. It was a pleasant experience, and the $30 spent was worth every penny. This is a huge loss to the Chinatown community and Krystal's presence and energy will be missed.
