First time visiting Pal Campo and I loved every dish I tried!!! I felt like I stepped right into Puerto Rico. Not only did I enjoy the food but the waiter was amazing and the atmosphere was so lively! The drinks were so good! I even got a souvenir cup! We had a little bit of everything. The fish was amazing! The steak was perfect and of course the arroz con guandules was cooked to perfection! I can't remember the names of everything but I'll certainly be back when I'm in the area! read more

I will update this review when I get to try my food. I placed an order on Uber Eats (I was at work and had a short break). My order was confirmed and I paid. When I got to the business to get my order (literally as I'm pulling in) I get a notification that my order was cancelled. I go inside, ask about my order, the hostess pulls my order on the screen and then said Uber Eats was down. I reorder what I selected and they did not honor the price (despite her pulling my order) that I was quoted on Uber Eats. I'm sad because I was looking forward to this but I did not want to pay almost double the price and it felt like that's why my order was canceled. read more

Came here for the first time while on vacation. Definitely 10/10!! First, we started with some appetizers. We tasted the alcapurria and the tostones bites with chicken. The alcapurria was absolutely delicious, traditional Puerto Rican taste. Now the tostones appetizers were not my favorite. The chicken did not taste good. I personally will not order this again. As for the food, I ordered the pollo a la plancha with white rice and beans. Of course it was absolutely delicious and flavorful. I would say the chicken was a bit dry. It could use some sautéed peppers and onions next time. Other than that everyone else at the table thoroughly enjoyed their meals. When I'm in Florida, I will definitely come back. Service was outstanding and I love the decor in this restaurant. read more

Beautiful restaurant - I wish I had taken more photos inside but the place was packed (a good sign) and I try not to take pictures of random families and post them online. With that said, the food was excellent and there's a ton to choose from - it's easy to get overwhelmed, but the thing I enjoyed the most was the service and how sweet our server was (I forgot her name, but she was always so sweet and patient with our family). There were tons of folks eating mofongo so I'm sure that's a fan favorite here. We tried a few appetizers, juices, rice and beans, and shared a large platter that had multiple options for the family since it was our first visit and we didn't know what to try first. The tostones rellenos de churrasco (skirt steak stuffed fried green plantains) were delicious and come with five little cups and a dipping sauce that I'm pretty sure was mayo/ketchup. They also put a little PR flag on top which my kids enjoyed playing with. This ended up being my main meal because I wasn't that hungry, and it was the perfect bite of crispy, salty, and creamy with the dipping sauce. We also tried another appetizer that I didn't try, alcapurria de carne, which comes with two rolls cut in half (husband enjoyed it) and the Assorted Pal Campo which comes with chicharon, fried yuca, chicharron de pollo, tostones, fried cheese topped with a sweet guava sauce (that my daughter was not a huge fan of - I would ask for it on the side next time), and sausage. Definitely a heavy meal - and I felt like I needed to eat salad for the next two days straight after this meal - but it was tasty. Next time I'll ask for a side of cucumbers or something to break up all of the fried elements, or order something that comes with slaw/veggies. read more

I came here with my mom to have drinks. The pina colada was creamy and my mom had a passion fruit drink that she said tasted so fresh. You also get to keep the cup, which for the price of the drink definitely is a nice touch. The aesthetic is also beautiful it's like a cute little PR. Our server was helpful and recommended drink options. read more

We really wanted to love this place and support a fellow Puerto Rican business, but unfortunately, it didn't live up to the hype. The service was decent, and the alcapurrias were the highlight of the meal. I was told they're not made in-house, but they were delicious. The rest of the food was disappointing. The tostones were oversized, rock hard, and tasted like they had been fried in old oil. Despite a long wait, our meals were served cold, which made the experience even more frustrating. After reading other reviews mentioning cold food and inconsistent service, it doesn't seem like this was an isolated incident. It's disappointing because the restaurant has a beautiful atmosphere and so much potential. Unfortunately, despite what many influencers say, this place just wasn't it for us. Management really needs to address the recurring issues with food temperature, food quality, and overall execution. I truly hope they do because I'd love to see a Puerto Rican restaurant succeed by serving food that's as exceptional as the culture it represents. For us, though, it was a one-and-done experience. read more

Every time we come to Orlando, this Puerto Rican restaurant is a must! We've been coming here for years, and it truly feels like being back to PR. From the moment you walk in, the service makes you feel like family, and the flavors are always on point. The decor is like the streets of old San Juan, which makes you feel more like at home. This time we had the crab alcapurrias, crispy bacalaitos, empanadillas de pulpo and tostones stuffed with octopus which were delicious. The octopus was incredibly tender, some of the best I've ever had. The kids' menu is another huge plus. For under $15, it includes a meat, two sides, a drink, and even a small dessert. My daughter had chicken tenders with arroz con gandules and fries, and the whole meal was about $11. It is a great value, especially in the Disney/Orlando area. The drinks are great too, very generous pours just like when you visit the island ;) We don't have any Puerto Rican restaurants where we live, so this place is always a special reminder of home. We'll definitely keep coming back every single time we're in the area. Highly recommended if you are looking for a pedacito de Puerto Rico in the middle of Orlando. read more

Absolutely loved this place! The service was outstanding--friendly, attentive, and welcoming from start to finish. Johanna our server was amazing! Ambience is super casual. The Latin music was awesome and played at enjoyable volume. You can really tell the food is made fresh, and it makes all the difference. The beef empanadas appetizers were yummy! My husband had the steak with onions and he said it was incredibly delicious and packed with flavor. I had the shrimp mofongo that was just as tasty. My son of course had chicken fingers with fries and it came with cookies and a yogurt. The presentation was very cute. His meal was served on a metal school lunch tray. Everything came out perfectly cooked and full of authentic flavor. The coconut flan was superb! Definitely a spot I'll be coming back to eat at when I visit Orlando again! read more

Came here on a whim on a Friday night. Parking was full but not too hard to snag a spot. Came in and were told the wait is 50 minutes. Since we drove 40 mins to be here we decided to wait at the bar. Ordered some drinks with the souvenir cups. Although it was served with too much ice, it was made delicious and strong. After 50 minutes we were seated at our table . We ordered the groups appetizer. That took another 20-30 minutes but oh man was it worth it. The best Puerto Rican food we have had in year. Flavorful, fresh and wow! Wepa!!! So good. Our waitress wasn't thw most personable but she served us with no issues. Then the music started and made the night even better. The drinks were good. A bit pricey for the amount of ice but I guess it is in a touristy area. We would come again maybe during earlier times not to wait so long. Trifling I was aghhhamazing, the yuca, Chicarron de puerco y pollo were so juicy! We loved it. Just wish the service was a bit quicker and friendlier: bartender was sweet and nice! read more

Was really excited to check this place out as I love Latin food. Overall thought this place was a bit disappointing. Service was poor. Took a while just to get water and plates and utensils. They forgot one of my dishes and tried to charge for it... Thankfully I caught it on the bill. Ambience was cool! Loved the music but it was a bit loud so we couldn't hear each other. Food itself was ok. -Mofongo was overcooked / too hard. -Chicken seafood dish also had chicken that was insanely tough but the seafood and sauce were good. +Only redeeming factor was the appetizer. = Kids steak was decent but not the medium rare we requested. Should've looked at yelp reviews first! read more

Decided to take a little day trip to Orlando to hit up a Filipino bakery, and afterward I wanted to take my peoples somewhere good to eat. My homegirl, Rosie recommended this spot, so we decided to give it a try--and honestly, the food was amazing. The vibe was great too. They even had entertainment while we were there, which made the whole experience even better. The downside was my friend's pork chunks was over cooked and that our waitress wasn't very friendly, and we had to wait a while to get refills on our drinks. It didn't ruin the experience, but it's something that could definitely be improved. Overall though, the food and atmosphere were great. This is the reason for my 3 star review. read more

My family and I stopped to dine in while on vacation. Our large group of 10 was sat within the first 10 minutes of entering the restaurant. The place is beautifully decorated, great island music played at all times, making it suck a vibe. Staff was amazing and very accommodating. The food portions were very generous and everything looked and tasted great. I found it a bit too warm inside the restaurant, to the point where sweat was rolling down my back, and that's the only reason why I'm rating it 4 stars. Being uncomfortably hot kept me from truly enjoying my meal and the place. read more

Music, lights, and dinner--GO! Very fun place to come with friends and family and in the mood for some good Puerto Rican food. The service was great, and the drinks flow nicely. Brought the family here after a long day of fishing and it did not disappoint. We stuffed our faces with some traditional appetizers: alcapurrias and tostones rellenos, and a few traditional plates: chuleta kan kan, and mofongo. Definitely excited to come and hit this place next time we're in the area. read more

Great Puerto Rican restaurant serving authentic dishes while with a real aesthetic of the island. Complete with famous boxing murals, tropical feel and a live band. We were a party of 4 and were seated at a small table in the bar area. There were several people celebrating their birthdays and they had the whole restaurant singing and celebrating with them. It was truly such a nice atmosphere. We ordered cocktails and then had the crab alcapurria (they were okay but wish they had more crab) then we had the bacalaitos which were heaven. I think I would've been happy with just orders of these. Perfect crunch and filling and just taste was amazing!! Then around the table was everything from rice and beans to chi ken and mofongo with chicken and just everyone devoured their plates. The portions were filling and we took some home. This spot is a must for authentic ,tasty puerto rican food with an atmosphere of added flare of a night club! We loved it! read more

Was here for birthday. Did not have to wait long and service was great. Did not wait long for our food and waiter was excellent. He took care of us and always came by to check on us. Place was nice inside. Looks like Old San Juan. Have a band and they sing and play all the old salsa music. Food was very good. I had the trifongo with Steak and it was great. I've tried a lot of the other foods and I did not try anything bad. Their pal campo beer is very good. Definitely recommended. It was nice and lite and went down smooth.

Read till the end. I wanted to love it, I really did. We are visiting from Ft. Lauderdale for the experience. Pros: the place is pleasant to the eyes as soon as you walk in. We were really excited and took a lot of pictures. Beautiful restaurant and food tastes really good. Terrible Cons: 1) Bathroom had roach and bathroom is right next to the kitchen. I notified the bartender & girl at the front but they seem unbothered. I was told the manger would come talk to me and she did towards the end but seemed more bothered than anything. I showed her the video/offered to share it with her so she can show the exterminator company, she apologized and said they exterminate either twice a week or twice a month (can't remember if it was week or month but she did say twice but either way that would mean they have a pest control problem. 2) Waitress was very kind however please note the tip is already included. I gave extra tip because I wasn't told this at the MOMENT of signature. She then told me it was included and told me she would not argue with me over tip and gave me back $20 in cash. I didn't appreciate that because I was not being mean. 3) felt like I was being stared down as we were leaving as if we had done something wrong. I do not feel comfortable coming back. Thank you for the 20% discount on the bill. That part I did appreciate. I hate doing a review like this. Sigh read more

Was in town for a work conference and wanted some great puerto rican food and I'm so glad I found this close by. The service was great, the restaurant decor is unique and traditional, and the food was absolutely delicious. I started with the crema de malanga because I love all sorts of soup and this isn't one I find often. It was good, but the star of the show for me was the stuffed mofongo with pollo al ajillo. I subbed the mofongo for trifongo actually as the bartender mentioned it was available and I'm so glad I did. It was perfect - not at all dry like I've experienced at other places, and the flavor was on point. The staff continued to check in on me and make sure I had anything I needed even while running around tending to more busy tables and I appreciated the kindness and attentiveness. I live a couple hrs away but will be sure to stop by when in the area again! read more

I came here with some family that were in town, and from the moment you step inside you are transported to Puerto Rico. They had live music, which was great. It is a louder restaurant, so little kids might find it overstimulating. The service was pretty good, especially since the restaurant was super busy. Since I don't eat meat, they offered to make me a vegetable mofongo. It was pretty good, and a huge portion. It came topped with a yummy garlic sauce. My family all enjoyed their food as well. The prices are a little high, but they are pretty similar to other restaurants in the area. I would come back if I was nearby. read more

As soon as I walked inside of Pal Campo Restaurant on a Saturday night, I felt like I was back in Puerto Rico! Staff were friendly and welcoming, and the music was just right!

Pal Campo Restaurant - Shrimp Mofongo - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a update to my past review from last yr. So the hubby and i arrived in Orlando Friday July 25 for our Anniversary. With high expectations and anticipation we couldn't wait to come to what we thought was our favorite restaurant......,. previously i'd given rave reviews and 5 We went on Sunday July 27 for dinner. Unfortunately if I could i'd give this restaurant a fat zero . Don't know what happen to the food from last yr. Everything was gross and wrong.., For starters we walked in there so happy said Good Evening and not one response. 4 ppl on staff were at the counter we asked to be seated in the bar area no one responded they looked at us and started laughing and speaking in spanish . immediately in my mind Poor customer service and we should've left. we waited 15 minutes before we were acknowledged at our table Not a glass of water...finally a gentleman takes our drink order. after we do get drinks it's another 30 minutes before our order was taken keep in mind the place wasn't that busy. Finally our order is taking and that was another 1hr30 min later food arrived with my husbands meal first The chalata kan kan rice and beans the meat was pink inside yuk! you can't make this up ! my dinner Steak with chimichurri sauce and beans took another 15 minutes of course we're like We did order together?? to make matters worse my steak looked like a small piece of burnt leather covered in Onions yes i asked for onions but this was a over kill of onions on such a mini steak that taste like rancid dry overcooked meat. I sent it back they presented me with another which only took them about 10 minutes to prepare but smelled and tasted horrible worse than the first. But now I'm thinking what in the heck took so long to bring out the first order if this second steak only took 10 minutes. We watched several ppl come after us and received their drinks and dinner and a party of 6 that all received their food. We spoke with the manager but we were just disappointed and felt disgusted at the level of unprofessionalism and the lack of presenting food that we waited over 1hr30 min to not be edible is unacceptable on every level. We will never visit this restaurant again while in Orlando and in the past i've told all friends that visit Orlando how fabulous this food was. What a horrible let down. read more

OMG how can you describe brutally delicious. We ordered several dishes and drinks as well. The atmosphere and my observation on the service FLAWLESS! Please open one in the South Florida (Miami or Fort Lauderdale) area ASAP!!!!! read more

I've been here several times, and this has quickly become one of my favorite Puerto Rican restaurants in town. If you're looking for authentic Puerto Rican food, this is the place to go. The flavors are rich and comforting, the portions are generous, and they definitely don't hold back on the seasoning. Every dish tastes fresh and made with care. The food is outstanding, but don't overlook the rest of the menu. Their classic dishes like mofongo, pernil, arroz con gandules, pastelillos, and tostones are just as good and come in generous portions. You can tell they take pride in using quality ingredients. The staff is always friendly, welcoming, and attentive, even when they're busy. The restaurant is clean, comfortable, and has that neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back. Whether you're stopping in for lunch or bringing the family in for dinner, you really can't go wrong. Highly recommend giving this place a try--you'll definitely be back for more! read more

Just a couple miles from I-4 in a small strip mall, Pal Campo is simply adorned on the outside with "Latin Cuisine". Upon entering, you are transported to Puerto Rico! The decor and atmosphere makes you feel like you're in old downtown Puerto Rico. There's a side room with the bar that has a strong Christmas theme with small decorated trees hanging from the ceiling. The main dining room is filled with tables and chairs. The lighting is kept a little dark with their windows covered and tinted. There's music and even during lunch time there's a roaming band that is mic'ed and thus very loud. They really don't need to be mic'ed because everyone in the restaurant can hear their instruments just fine. The members have very nice voices too. It was a late Saturday afternoon and they weren't really busy so we were seated immediately. Our server Yanet brought us water right away. Fried Yuca root: Salted just right. Nice crispy fry and soft on the inside. Loved it. Yummy! Fried plantains: On par. Cooked just right and delicious. The sweetness of these plantains were a nice contrast to the rest of our meal. Beef empanadillas: Also known as fried Puerto Rican turnovers, they didn't look like the same as on the menu, but these hand pies can be shaped however you desire I suppose. The important part was how it tasted. The fried dough could've been flakier, but the taste was spot on. I would've preferred the dough to be a little thinner as parts of the empanadilla was rolled over itself so it was just thick dough with no filling at all. The seasoned ground beef inside was delicious. Yom Yom Yom. Chicken Marisco: The large chicken breast was grilled nicely then topped with cheese, spices and about 5 large shrimp (with tail on). Personally I would've dialed back the cheese topping because it was really overpowering the whole dish. The blend of spices made the cheese topping almost into a thick gravy that just engulfed and smothered the chicken with shrimp hiding underneath. I'm glad I had the yuca root as a side. If I return I would like to try their flank steak. Something worth mentioning is that the prices of some of their entrees are a lot (not a bit) on the high side, but their portions are large. It was Yanet's birthday and she was attentive throughout our meal. Viva la Puerta Rico! read more

This restaurant is nice. Makes you feel like you're back in Old San Juan however it's exceptionally loud. You can't have a conversation with your party. Food is good. Wish it was more authentic in flavor. I believe because they got so popular so fast, it's just losing the taste of home! read more

Wanted to try something close and decide on this spot. I've passed this place a bunch of times but if you know...traffic is the worst so I hardly ever want to stop. It's on a strip next to starbucks and mini golf.parking isn't too bad and the sign can throw you off if you're not paying attention. Get inside and we're greeted by security but two ladies were busy trying to figure out seating I guess. We finally were seated and it's very colorful with decorations and lights. Kind of gives you a neighborhood vibe.plenty of celebrations going plus music so it ended up being too loud for us. The specialty drinks was a nice touch since you're pretty much paying for the collectable cups. Too pricey for my liking and the we finally meet our waiter. At first he seemed good but we notice a few things being forgotten. The food didn't match the prices at all. I got the skirt steak and rice while my bf ordered the grilled pork chop. The food seemed bland which was disappointing when you spend all that money. Waiting for the check was a little too long as well. Not like it was packed out. I like supporting local businesses but I definitely don't like wasting my time and money. I would suggest coming down on the prices and maybe give a little extra sprinkle with the seasoning lol. I know tourist are the main focus to most businesses so they tend to cut back on certain things. I would advise everyone to always form their own opinion by trying but always look the place up beforehand. read more
