We came here for a sorority meet up and the place is certainly lively! Lots of lights and live music and movement. We were seated in the back up on a little stage and it might have been because it was a busy night but service took quite some time to even take our orders even though there were large groups seated near us as well that seemed to have been served more quickly. We ordered one of the platters to share with black beans, rice, and tostones. The pork belly in the center was displayed in a fun way but kind of hard to take off the skewer, though that could have just been me. The portions were generous and the black beans were a surprising star of the platter as they had great flavor to them instead of just being your regular black beans. The drinks were served in fun ways and from our party everyone who ordered one enjoyed them. A fun night out kind of place but might be suited for smaller tables and not for general conversation as it was quite loud and required lots of yelling. Still a fun experience but not as eager to go back

Firewood steak dish

Nando Grill is the best Venezuelan steakhouse in Orlando! I've been wanting to try them since they had a location in Miami, so I was beyond excited when they opened the Orlando location. The restaurant is inside of a large plaza with ample parking. I came here for lunch and I would recommend doing so for smaller parties of 2-4. I tried the bao buns with octopus and shrimp and they were amazing. For my entree I did the firewood steak dish. The steak was cooked to perfection and so were the sides. Our server was very friendly and the restaurant was not rowdy, but it was lunch time. The decor and food make you feel like you're in a fancy restaurant back in Venezuela. I can't wait to come back!

This is a Venezuelan restaurant with amazing vibes!! The music, the atmosphere, the decor, everything makes you feel immersed in the culture. The firewood steak is absolutely phenomenal, and the burgers are stacked to the ceiling! The only negative is that we did ask for additional garlic sauce a couple times, but it never came, but aside from that, no complaints. We went here for the WhereIsNoa VR event to digitally transport you to Venezuela, this has nothing to do with the restaurant itself, but it was great that the restaurant was the venue for this beautiful event.

Pork belly plantains

AMAZING place! Stopped for lunch. Service was great. Fernando was amazing! Ask for him, he gave great suggestions. The menu's are on tablets and they have a large variety of starters. They give us plantain chips with a yummy dip. Food was off the hook, festive and upbeat atmosphere!

Went on a limb and tried this place and I couldn't have been more impressed! Everything 10/10. They thought about everything. Prices were great as well The vibes are unmatched ( felt like I was on vacation) Food was amazing I loved everything we ordered. They even had natural juices. Live band so the entertainment was there. You just have to be there.. Even got to see the flight show. ( if you don't know even more reasons to go )

Steak, ribs, sausage and sweet corn pancake

Oohhhh my gosh. If you like meat, this place is for you!! 4 of us went on Friday at 8pm. It wasn't too busy, and they are open until MIDNIGHT! They had a live band playing, and while it was very loud, we still enjoyed ourselves. If you don't like loud environments this isn't for you. The meat was grilled to perfection, and the sides were great. The coleslaw was ok, the small arepas were good, and they had a sweet corn cake with cheese and omg that was delish! The pork belly was crispy but a little chewy (still great), the steak was perfectly cooked, and the sausage was honestly the best we've had! The pork ribs were also delicious .The sauces were so good, but that green sauce was my absolute favorite. The fried cassava was yummy dipped in the sauce. The place was decorated really cool, and the server was very friendly and explained everything for us. It is on the pricier side but you get a lot of meat. We will most definitely be coming back!

Speechless. That's the only real way to start this review, because how else do you explain going two days in a row and somehow being more impressed the second time? We first came the day before Father's Day, then woke up the next morning and couldn't think of anywhere better to celebrate. And somehow, round two was even better. Let's start with the service: Enrique is a magician. He floated in and out of our section refilling waters, delivering drinks before we even asked, and making sure we were taken care of from start to finish. Every table deserves an Enrique. The appetizers? Mandatory. The chicharrón: 100/10. Crisp, flavorful, and addictive. The fried cheese with guava: if you've never had guava before, this is the life-changing way to start. It's sweet, salty, crispy, melty. Everything your taste buds dream of. The family plates are where it's at. Generous doesn't even begin to describe them. If it says "feeds 4," go ahead and plan for 5--easily. The first time we overordered like rookies, but that just meant we got to relive the magic with leftovers. On Father's Day, we brought the whole squad--five of us, including my little one--and went all in: steak, ribs, tostones, and chicharrón stacked like a tower of flavor. It's tough to choose a favorite, but those smoky, juicy steaks and fall-off-the-bone ribs are neck and neck for the crown. This place isn't just good, it's a celebration. One of the best spots in Orlando for groups of 4+, special occasions, or any day you want to eat like royalty. Bring your appetite. Bring your eating pants. And don't be surprised if you're back the next day.

Great food and friendly service! Everything we ordered was fresh and tasty. The only downside is the music, it's so loud that it's hard to enjoy a conversation. Otherwise, a solid spot for a good meal!

Stage

Stopped in for lunch just after they opened. It was rustic yet decorated beautifully for Easter with bunnies, parasols and a photo op backdrop. Stage with live music and a big open bar area. The staff were welcoming and sat us immediately. The menus are on iPads with great pictures and descriptions. We shared a chorizo, rib and steak combo with coleslaw and cheese sides. Absolutely delicious and plentiful. Looking forward to our next visit.

Omgsh this place hit the spotttt! We came here a a mid day theme park break to refuel and let me tell you, all this meat won't disappoint you. The service was quick and super friendly. They have music playing and I think this could be a really fun place to host your birthday part of like a baby shower. Everything was so good, I really wish they had a Nando where I live.

If you're looking for an authentic Venezuelan dining experience look no further than Nando Grill. The food is delicious with a variety of authentic options straight from the heart of Venezuela. The atmosphere compliments the delicious food and amazing service.

Came at 7:15 on a Friday night , they are busy but didn't have a long wait. Sara was our waitress she kept our drinks full, checked on us throughout dinner. We ordered the red snapper fried with two sides, which was rice and sweet plantains was cooked. Well done super crispy. We also had the mixed grilled plate with the pork sausage, pork, ribs, and steak with fried plantains and fried cheese. The meat came out cooked as we requested, which was medium well, all of the food was fresh. The meat was hot and tender. The ribs were fall off the bones. We really enjoyed! Yes it's a louder environment- it's part of the experience. They have family combos and single meals that's enough for 2 They did not add the 18% tip to our bill, this might be only happening if there are 6 or more people in the group.

Central Florida's newest Latin BBQ serving delicious Venezuelan Inspired Food. Including grilled meats, arepas, variety of cheeses and sides. Great natural juice selection as well as a full bar. The arepas come with a Dunlop of Venezuelan style sour cream that is so easily paired with anything. Service is very fast. Everything is very fast to be honest. The amount of people waiting to get in as inside the establishment itself it's over the top. It's nit for the easy hearted. They had live music and it was loud. Spend time exploring the menu and its amazing choices.

Last night I found a food truck downtown, Arepaso de Orlando…read more They are open Wednesdays through Saturday nights at Washington and court basically across from Gringos Locos. They have only 3 items: Venezuelan Arepas Ham and grilled cheese sandwiches($7) Colombian hamburgers The Arepas($5) are filled with either shredded beef and cheese or chicken and cheese. The photo on their menu shows crappy American cheese but that isn't what they put on it, they use a white shredded type cheese. The Arepas themselves are white but not really sweet and they cut it in half to open it up like you would a pita and stuff the ingredients inside. They have 3 sauces in squeeze bottles you can put on as much as you like. Garlic sauce, Tartara and a Spicy one. I asked him a few times what peppers were in the spicy one but he just kept saying chili. All of the sauces had a similar white consistency but my fav was the garlic. The spicy one was good too but it wasn't very spicy just a little. I didn't get to try the other 2 items but the Colombian guy working there said they were really good. They also sell soda and water, go try em out after you have danced your booty silly and are wasted out of your mind, then they will taste like heaven in your hand. He said they usually stay open until about 3:30 AM #OrlandoFoodTrucks

I didn't get to try any food from this truck (unfortunately, I ran out of cash because I hit up a…read morefew other trucks at tonight's food truck event in Avalon Park), but it seems very interesting and I'd like to give it a shot sometime. It seemed to be pretty popular tonight - I saw a number of people ordering from it and I overheard some people talking about how good its food was tonight. Thankfully, this truck is relatively close to where I live (according to Chris R.'s review, it's downtown), so maybe I'll catch it sometime. I did buy a soda here this evening and the employee I talked to for a moment was friendly. The food looked and smelled delicious!

I would not consider it high-end dining, there were two of us for lunch. We shared a tappa which consisted of three meatballs. We both ordered a larger plate of Solomillo, one steak and one pork. And we both ordered a dessert to share and they were very underwhelming. My issues with the drinks. We ordered espresso martinis, which were not on the menu like many of the other cocktails you could order. The surprise came with the bill. We both had two martinis they were $21 apiece so the four martinis came to $84. I was shocked because the most I've ever spent for a martini in Orlando area and a very high-end restaurant was $18. I guess we should've ordered the sangria with red wine and Brandy for $12.

Every recommendation was spot on. We shared the chicken pintxos, potato tortilla, and Margherita pizza, and everything was absolutely delicious and packed with flavor. The service was prompt, attentive, and made the whole evening feel relaxed and enjoyable. My wife really enjoyed the Albariño white wine, and my Spanish Old Fashioned was excellent. You can tell a lot of care goes into both the food and drinks here. We wrapped up the night with the dulce de leche cheesecake and mascarpone ice cream, and honestly, it was to die for. My wife rarely eats dessert, but she devoured her half almost immediately. Great atmosphere, flavorful food, excellent drinks, and outstanding service. We'll definitely be back.

I will review this restaurant in real time. The wait was a bit long just to get a table in the…read moremiddle of the afternoon, but to their credit, it's a small eat in and take out establishment on Goldenrod, very casual dining and with typical Puerto Rican decorations. They have bench seats and independent chairs. They do not have outdoor tables. About the service... long wait all around. I ordered a Coke Zero, they brought a can with a straw- I would say very reminiscent of what you would get in a kiosk in Puerto Rico, but other tables got a cup and ice. Maybe it's upon request? My husband ordered Perrier, or soda water, but they don't have any. It could be that they only serve canned drinks, not from a machine. So he got water, refills come very rarely. So far trickling slow. Every time I decide to do a "realtime review", something happens that it makes the service very slow. They play Latin music in the background. Food's here. Hubby ordered the pinchos with tostones one thing he noticed right away is that the pinchos aren't grilled. I ordered a pork pincho with mofongo and I have to agree, these are deep fried (carne frita). The tostones were good, he said. My pincho is very fatty and the flavor is ok, not seasoned as I would expect. The mofongo is on point, with crispy bits of pork rinds. The bill reflects a 4% increase if you use a credit card, regardless of your party size. I might come back and try some other items, though. Better luck next time.

I came today for the lunch special for $12.99 which is a mofongo and a pincho. The mofongo was decent it could have been just a little softer for my liking and the pincho was just ok. The pincho had lots of fatty pork chunks and it had bbq sauce but still was lacking flavor. For the portion size and price I think it's reasonable, but I doubt I'll be back.
