Sofrito Latin Cafe - Excellent sandwiches! The drinks during happy hour are awesome! Will definitely return. Sofia was very nice and helpful. - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Let me start by saying I love Latin food I've been to some incredible restaurants across the US and abroad. Unfortunately, I was a little disappointed with this place. I placed a pick-up order and tried to call ahead to add some extra flavoring like hot sauce or chimichurri--but they don't answer their phone once you've ordered online. So, if you want any extras, you have to ask in person. The chimichurri sauce was good and had a nice flavor, but the hot sauce was an extra $2-$4 per side, even just for regular sour cream, which was a bit disappointing for a Latin restaurant. The tostones were completely flavorless, which was really underwhelming. Overall, decent food, but a few things felt overpriced and lacking in flavor. read more

Ordered: Cuban Chicken Empanada (~$5) Cuban Beef Empanada (~$5) Churrasco (~$27): grilled skirt steak topped with chimichurri sauce with 3 sides - white rice, black beans, plantains Frescolita soda (~$3) Churros (~$7): served with Nutella and dulce de leche Aya's take: Solid lunch spot! At Sofrito, you order at the register, grab a number, and sit down. The workers were super friendly and service was quick and efficient. They have empanadas from various Latin countries. We went with the Cuban Empanadas which had a great texture from the flour (as opposed to corn) and decent amount of filling. The Chicken one had more flavor than the Beef so if you had to choose, I definitely recommend the Chicken! It didn't come with any sauces which I found unusual but the waitress was nice enough to give us some green garlic sauce which elevated each bite. The Churrasco was delicious and super filling with 3 sides. I asked for medium but it was more medium well. Luckily, it wasn't too dry or chewy and the chimichurri sauce on top was so fresh and vibrant! The Churros were decent but they served it to us in the beginning so by the time we had finished our entrees and got to it, they were pretty cold. It would've been nice if they served it to us towards the end. Nonetheless, I recommend stopping by if you're in the area! read more

Food was tasty and came in a large portion! Service was friendly and straightforward.

Food is really good, service is fast and you get to experience different cuisines under one roof. They have Venezuelan arepas Colombian empanadas and awesome croquetas. read more

I really wanted to like this place. The only positive was the food. Servers are slow, scattered brain and condescending. I got my appetizer. No drinks yet. Got my food. No drinks yet. We asked them 3 times where they are. Got two cold espresso cups and one melted iced latte (missing the flavor syrup). When we asked for a new espresso this girl asked "You want it in a to-go cup?". We're not even done with our food. You wanted us to leave? Seriously?! Now no server will talk to us. They're just walking around and ignoring us. And this place got real empty in the last 5 minutes. Again, I really wanted to like the place. The place is nice and food was good. Coffee and service are a zero for me. Also, you owe me two orange juices that never made it to my table. read more

So yummy! So excited that we got to get Cuban food in Orlando last time we went to Disney. It's near the outlets so easy to get to. It's small and cute. easy to order with the kiosks. Loved the rice! Overall great place. Family friendly. Can't wait to visit again on my next trip to Disney! read more

I love this place! The menu has a wide variety of different Spanish foods! I got the chicken dish & the salad & it was amazing! The service was good! There is an outside patio that might have dogs allowed I'm not sure. The food is very good I recommend!!! read more

Charrusco steak was EXTREMLY chewy. The empanadas were nothing special. The yucca was boiled but a bit under cooked. Honestly it felt like a tourist trap, pictures of the food look amazing but the reality left me disappointed. I will say I have had way better food in Orlando. read more

Very laid back and chill atmosphere! Hope that they're around for a long time! I'll be back anytime I'm in the Orlando area. The pictures say it all. How I'll sum it up being of a Cuban decent is that while being 1000 miles from home, it was pretty darn close to a home cooked meal growing up. Had a Malta to go with my mini papas rellenas and the lunch special of picadillo with white rice, black beans, and maduros. It was a super generous portion too which was fantastic. Staff was super friendly, and I believe the young lady that came to speak with me, was the owner, was mindful to say hello to those dining in the room. Cool thing was ordering as you walk in and then grabbing a table and waiting on your food there. Super convenient. Cherry on top was the music playing! It was like being at titi's house on a weekend! read more

Excellent food and good atmosphere. I recommend if anyone happens to be in the Orlando is a must to try.

I have never been to a restaurant with this system that they offer. When you enter, the menu is displayed on screens on the wall, there are 2 computers available to place orders that can only be paid by card, and there is an attendant for those who prefer to pay in cash. The attendant was not very friendly, and did not offer us any kind of help unless we asked. When you place your order, you take a number and go to the table of your choice. Some time later, a waitress came with our drinks and cutlery, she did not ask us if we needed anything or not. Our order was "Brazilian X-frango frito" $12 and two "Colombian burgers" $14, Coca-Cola drinks $3.50, Corona $6 and iced mocha $3.25. Our dishes did not take long to arrive, the two Colombian burgers, according to my daughter and husband, were tasty, but my Brazilian X-Fried Chicken was nothing more than a large fried nugget, a total insult to any Brazilian eating that, tasteless and super greasy. After we received our food, no one else came to our table to ask if we needed anything. My husband had to go to the bar more than once to ask for things. In addition to the terrible experience with my food, my daughter's iced mocha had to be remade because there was plastic inside her drink. This is definitely a restaurant I will not return to and I do not recommend regardless of the nice ambience. read more

Before the Holidays we were down for Christmas and had another amazing group dinner here! We come here every chance we are down in Orlando since they first opened and we had their breakfast. We are all Vegetarians and I am Mandatory low sodium and still able to eat here without any complications!! Kiddo & I split the cheese Empanadas and all get the vegetarian platter meals. I am able to comment they make awesome black beans, I really do miss having them and I get one or 2 to enjoy from my DH! We all get the fried yuca, sweet Plantains & Tostones they get the beans & I order the odd item left out for the day and we share. Everything is delicious and cooked to perfection! We always have some leftovers to take back to the hotel. We Especially love their Sofrito sauce!! YUM!!! The guys always get Jupiña to drink, I stick with water now that the soda fountain is gone. Thank you everyone for another amazing dinner, fast friendly service, clean restaurant & restrooms! read more

Sofrito Latin Cafe - Mixed Vegetables - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

This is a well subscribed Latin restaurant in the Orlando/Kissimmee area, likely because it is reasonably priced, can accommodate large groups and the plates are large and tasty. It's majority self service: you order at a kiosk, take a number they will bring the food. Grab your utensils, Napkins and water cup from a nearby station. With both outdoor and indoor seating, the place was packed for a Saturday evening between 6-8pm, so keep that in mind. read more

Sofrito Latin Cafe - Camarones al Ajillo - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

I was very confused when I walked into this restaurant and it was a kiosk system to order with then sit yourself/ number system. But everything I had was amazing. We ordered a bunch of stuff and split it. Chicago, picadad for 2c arepas, empanadas. All the meats were so good. Loved the steak, pork and pork belly. It was delicious. The plantains were amazing. Honestly loved all the food. The mojito flight was a little sugary. But it was strong so that helped. I would definitely return read more

Everything was delicious. The caldo de polla, fried yucca, michelada. I ordered too much but I'm so glad we tried so many things!

Skip the overcrowded, overpriced restaurants at Disney Springs and head across the street to Sofrito Latin Cafe. You will not be disappointed! There's such a wide variety of options on the menu, and everything I've tried has been packed with flavor, beautifully presented, and reasonably priced. We love stopping at Sofrito after a long Disney day or whenever we're staying at nearby hotels. My favorite dish is the churrasco, absolutely delicious! Highly recommend if you're looking for flavorful food without the Disney Springs chaos. read more

Great Latin restaurant! You can order at the kiosk or with a cashier and the food is brought out to you. You get your own drinks and utensils etc. Prices were very reasonable. Food was delicious. We had a party of 13, we ordered in groups of 3. Food came out quickly. Main thing, weather was not good and they mostly have outdoor seating. Indoor was packed. That made our experience not good. read more

I've been here many times for lunch. I do think it's a bit pricy for what it is, but I do love that they offer something different and original rather than the trash that they have around this area. The service is nice and the interior is nice to sit and eat. read more

The good: the food is delicious!!! The bad: the service is less than average. So my recommendation is to order your food to go. You can say this is a hybrid setup where you walk up, order your food, pay, sit at a table and wait for it to be delivered. So drinks and the food arrived, but there is no silverware. After I asked for some eating utensils I was told "later" and it was never brought to the table. We ended up taking the silverware from the next table. After we finished eating and requested a box for leftovers someone came over. I pointed out the missing silverware and poor service. Overall, it was a disappointing experience. I don't know if I would return. I may order takeout, but I don't think I can support this business. My family was not happy. Maybe the place is understaffed, but there's no excuse for lack of basic customer service... read more

Disappointing. Maybe just an off night, but this was different from previous experiences (dozens) where I rated Sofrito five stars. Staff was friendly but not attentive. They tried to deliver the wrong food to our table multiple times even after receiving our food, yet never once inquired how our meal was, or if we needed anything. I ordered the Roast Pork (my favorite). It was dry as can be as was the crunchy yellow rice. Plantains were on point. It has been a while since my last visit. Was this just an off night? Did they change ownership / management? I may try them again, but now I fear taking out of town friends. I hope they win me back. read more

So good! In town for a conference and after some internal debate decided to head to Sofrito for dinner. Best decision of the day! I had the camarones, yellow rice, black beans, and fried yucca. Mango juice and water to drink. Everything was good. The shrimp were tender and well seasoned. The beans were perfectly cooked and spiced nicely. The chimichurri on the yucca was so good that I asked for extra and ended up dipping my shrimp in it. The staff was friendly and the atmosphere was a mellow vibe. I'm with it. I'm tempted to go back, but will try a different spot tonight. Definitely give it a try whether you're visiting or a local! read more

I visited Sofrito Latin Café while in Orlando, FL, and it instantly became one of my new favorite spots. I ordered the Churrasco with yellow rice and a fresh, crisp salad, and let me tell you, it was amazing. The steak was perfectly seasoned and tender, paired with the rice and salad made it a truly memorable meal. I also tried three different drinks, and the passion fruit was by far the best. If you go, definitely order a large. ou won't regret it! The atmosphere was welcoming, the service was warm, and the food exceeded every expectation. I'm already looking forward to coming back on my next trip to Orlando. This place is truly a gem! read more

It is a cozy, family friendly spot. Alexander (Alex) provides friendly, empathetic, and personable service. Cesar is also incredibly pleasant; in fact, the entire staff makes customers feel like family, ensuring a great experience.

It is a clean, family-oriented place. I recommend it 100%. Thank you, and blessings to everyone. ------ -----------Es un lugar acogedor y familiar.

Loved the food, wide menu to choose from. Easy ordering at the counter with table service. Loved the outdoor seating!!!

We ordered at the kiosk when we walked in so we didn't have to wait in any line. The menu has a wide variety of options and we were really impressed. We got the empanada, mini papa rellenas, ham croquetas, a side of shredded beef (just like ropa vieja), and sides of rice and beans. This was more than enough food for two people just having lunch. I genuinely enjoyed everything except the mini papa rellenas. I'm not sure if it was the potato to meat ratio or the flavor of the meat itself, but I didn't like them and I wouldn't order those again. We sat in the outside patio area and they brought the food out to us which was nice. Overall, great place for some Hispanic food. Definitely going to come here again! read more

This was my first time here and let me say I will definitely be here again and can't wait to try some other food! Instead of getting a meal we decided to get a little of everything. We got side of rice, side of beef, and side of beans. And tbh these items are very much shareable if you're getting some other items. I also got an Argentinian empanada, we got croquetas and papa. Service was great and fast! This location has soooo many seating options. They had a bar, inside seating and a huge outside area! Only thing I would say is I wish the food was a bit hotter only because when we got it, it was warm but borderline kind of cold. But the food was full of flavor and I'd come back! read more

It was ok. Omelet was a little too cooked. Ambiance is nice. Service good. Food is not terrible but not super great

Came here because I wanted a cuban sando. People loved it and say it was a reasonable price. . I started with a espresso with little milk and the coffee was good. It was strong and tasty. . Venezuelan beef empanada the crust was good. It was crispy and chewy. It came with a green dip that was flavorful. I had to ask for some habenero sauce to spice things up. . Habenero sauce they make this home made but it wasn't as spicy as I thought it be. . Cuban sandwich - big portion for under 10 bucks. The sandwich was really good and great for sharing. The bread was a good texture too. . Ambiance and vibe is you order and pay. Grab a number and they bring the food to you. It's casual. I hope this review helps and thanks for reading. Have a yelptastic day! read more

Sofrito Latin Cafe - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

When you enter you order either at kiosks or with a staff members the door to lines is a little awkward but staff was really friendly helpful, explained everything and answered questions. I order ham croquettes, an arepa, passion fruit juice and macchiato. The ham croquettes I believe they make with a Boshell sauce for the filling and if so, they definitely didn't cook it long enough. The paste tasted heavily of flour overall though they were crispy and a good balance, but I wish it wasn't so overpowering tasting a flour. The arepa I got had shredded beef beans, cheese, and plantains unfortunately, it only had one chunk of plantain and then that was it. The beef was plentiful and really good flavor the beans oddly were stuck together. I'm not exactly sure why the biggest disappointment, though the arepa was sopping wet like the juice of the meat hadn't been drained off at all and so they really really fell apart and was just mush. By far, my favorite thing was the passionfruit juice. It was absolutely perfect. As you can see from the pictures, I did take my food to go, but sat in the dining room while waiting and it was really nice. read more

Sofrito was a pleasant surprise when we were looking for a Latin cuisine on our side of town (West side of Orlando/Winter Garden area). Admittedly we were looking to take some family to specifically Cuban but found Sofritos intriguing. Food was very good and nice array of options. Some of the dishes must be prepared slightly different as I got what I would have at a traditional Cuban restaurant, but it was listed under a different country (for example Ropa Vieja). The set up as you walk in, and can order from their touchscreen, or the register, then proceeded to sit down, and they bring you your meals shortly thereafter. Super friendly staff, easy ordering process. Oh, and by the way, $5 happy hour special on drinks, definitely makes it worth going a little bit earlier. Ambience is very casual, indoor and outdoor seating, you select your own seating. read more

Good food and services . It's highly recommended . Very large portion of food for very good price

This is always one of our top stops when we visit Orlando. The food is solid Latin fare, and the prices are great for larger families. On our most recent visit we had the arepa con queso de mano (corn cake stuffed with a huge slice of homemade salted cheese) that melts into the arepa perfectly after a few bites, mini cheese tequeños, Colombian empanadas (these are corn versus the thin flour dough ones), and fried yuca. On other visitors we've tried the Lomo Saltado arepa, tostones, churassco, and the Cuban sandwich. As you'll see from the menu there's a ton of great options from several different countries. Give this place a try - you won't regret it! read more

The restaurant is clean and well-maintained, including the bathroom. The vibe is pleasant, but unfortunately, the most important factor--the food--was disappointing. I've been to many Cuban and Latin restaurants, and based on that experience, this sandwich and soup do not belong on the menu of a Cuban restaurant. The sandwich is not authentic at all, and the chicken soup was overly salty. read more
