We stopped by Sofrito's one of her go-to restaurants in Orlando on our return home from Disney Springs. We had what we always order and both were not as tasty as they normally are. My wife had the Chimchurry steak and it was a piece that was quite tough and hard to chew; but, still a pretty good flavor. I had the 36 hour braised pork with black beans, yellow rice, and fries. The pork was just a bit dry and not as tasty as it normally is. We know this is a one off, so we'll definitely be back as it is a well run operation.

Fresh and flavorful food with quick service. We stopped in while visiting Disney World in October 2025. The portion size was excellent for the price; we could g even finish all of our food. The Cuban sandwich had a hefty amount of meat; the arepas did, too! Come hungry! This is fast-casual dining that is pretty healthy and fresh. Loved it!

This is one of our favorite places! The food is always amazing, the service is excellent! Their coffee is some of the best! We always order too much because we can't ever decide what we want because it all is so good!! Definitely recommend! Great location and the vibe is 10/10

This was the second time I came. When you come in, you can order in the tablets or with the host. You take a number and sit where you'd like. They bring the food out for you, which btw came out super fast. The food was delicious, we were a big group. They had music going which was pretty good. The menu has so many varieties from different Latin countries. The mocktail I had was a spring special which was tasty. I'd definitely come back. In case you want to sing happy birthday to someone make sure to call the restaurant to advise them with time & they also don't do reservations but plenty of seating.

It was incredibly delicious! Very flavorful! I had the Hibiscus Kiss mocktail, which was quite refreshing & complimented the dinner well!

There are tons of great restaurants in Orlando. BUT, there's only ONE place at which we ALWAYS eat, EVERY time we come into town: Sofrito Latin Cafe. My family's been coming here for about 10 years now...we usually stop here at least twice per trip. The food is fantastic. Although I've had many of the entrees, and they've all been great, in general, I'm an arepa and empanada kind of guy. Along with Q'Kenan's, Sofrito's are some of the best in town. Interestingly, multiple styles of empanadas are available...Cuban, Argentine, Colombian, and of course, Venezuelan. Speaking of Venezuelan... Service: The service has always been fast, friendly, accurate...and cute. Are the waitresses cute? Yeah, just ask my 19 year old son. There's a reason why Venezuela, a county of (only) 30 million has won Ms Universe 7 times. Not a big deal, just something you notice. The atmosphere is modern, clean, comfortable, and casual. The patio doesn't have much of a view, but still, it's nice to eat outside when it's not too humid and hot, (or like this past weekend, too friggin' cold). Drinks: They have everything! Coffee, Latin pop, craft beer, cocktails, and even wine! Try the pineapple mojito. There are probably Latin Cafes in Orlando that are more authentic, but SLC has stood the test of time. We've been very happy at Sofrito Latin Cafe for the past 10 years...here's to 10 more! 5 stars!!

This is a very busy place. However, things are running pretty fast as their set up is good. There's inside and outside seating ordering is at the desk or you can do it at one of the self-serve computers. We ordered at a self-serve computers. I ordered the Cuban croquetas and a Cuban sandwich. Either one was authentic Cuban. The crickets were cute, but definitely not Cuban croquettes it was cheese with in the middle of something and hardly any a flavor - the garlic sauce that came with was gross. You might as well just eat straight up garlic juice so I use ketchup instead. The Cuban sandwich was a very large portion and not bad. However, it did not remind me of a Cuban sandwich. The flavors were different. The cheese wasn't melted. Very good sandwich. Just not the Cuban one overall not a bad experience is not my type of food as it's more Latin fusion

This place is our absolute must stop in Orlando. This time we got off our cruise and stopped before heading home. Everyone's super friendly and the vibe is great. This guy named Christian offered us water as soon as we were seated. He would not stay still and was very active with every table. He woke clean up after anyone stood up and kept offering water. I loved this type of service. Will definitely be back soon. Thank you Christian

Yanitza R.

The food itself was good and served warm, so no complaints there. However, the service really took away from the experience. Having to get up from the table to get your own water and it not even being cold was frustrating. On top of that, getting a simple cup of ice felt like a hassle, which honestly shouldn't be the case at a restaurant. The food has potential, but the service setup and lack of basic hospitality made the visit disappointing. With better attention to guest experience, this place could be much better. The restaurant was clean but the bathroom was not.

I have no idea why I am JUST reviewing this place now because I feel like I come here every time I visit Orlando (at least once a year). Food and service is always great. Large portions, dinner entrees come with 3 sides, and packed with flavor. Would recommend getting their arepas, empanadas, and roast pork. Very casual place with good vibes all around. Lots of seating both indoors and outdoors with good amount of parking. I also never had to wait insanely long for a table or for the food. Oh and major pro: it's close to the amusement parks! This place will continuously be one of my go-tos when I'm in the area.

Churrasco
Roselyn D.

The Cuban sandwich was just alright, but the churrasco (skirt steak) was very yummy! We also loved the Venezuelan empanadas with cheese! Tasted great with the skirt steak! I love how you can choose your own sides too

Food here in Sofrito Latin Cafe was amazing. Truly a Latin American (Colombian, Argentinian, Peruvian, Venezuelan) restaurant with amazing service and the ambiance this place gives off is one of family. I truly enjoy the flavors of Latin America and this whole in the wall definitely brings in.

Still being on London time, we were glad to find a restaurant open before noon around these here parts. I guess most are 1 pm to 2 am for the late-night partiers. Sofrito's outdoor dining area was nice and laid back, and their easy self-ordering meant quick hot food at our tables in just a few minutes. The staff was friendly and helpful for any menu choice explanations. My wife liked the beef/beans/rice, and it was even too big for her to finish (sure I imbibed to finish it off). She mostly (always) liked the plantains and wouldn't share. She's a high critic on those, so apparently they were worthy. The pasta was good in theory, but it was WAY too much garlic. So note to chef on that, maybe that was just accidentally too much added this time. We liked the ambiance and there are many other interesting menu items, and we would return when back in town.

Are dogs allowed on patio?

What dressing do you put on the side salad that comes w entrees?

It’s an herb dressing. It’s similar to a ranch dressing but slightly different. We make it in house.

What are the wait times like for dinner on a Sunday?

Depends on the season, but it could take about 15 min to order and another 20 mi to get your order. Sundays are our busiest days, especially during breakfast and lunch hours.

Do they cook the gluten free items in a separate fryer?

Hi! No. If you have celiac disease, please advice our management team when you visit us. We can offer you some items that are gluten free and safe for your consumption.… Read more

We wanted a good like typical breakfast diner, and I kept coming across the standard chains - First Watch, Maple Street, etc. then this one caught my eye! There was no wait on a Monday late morning. Our server was Luna, and she was friendly and helpful. I tried their Benedict with the chicken fried steak and green chiles and - wow! That's the best twist on a Benedict I've ever heard of, and it was executed well too. Their chicken fried steak was great. The English muffin is crusted with pepper jack cheese which was an unexpected flavor. The green chiles visually looked like a lot, but it was really a great amount. When you ask for home fries crispy, boy - do they deliver! Might have been a tad crispy for my taste so I'd probably go with the standard way, just personal preference. My husband tried the home fries bowl and was happy there. One kiddo liked their burger and fries. The other ordered the pick 3, which is genius for a kids menu. No needing to substitute anything, just order exactly what the kids will eat. Coffee was just okay. I'd probably just order that elsewhere personally. But overall, this was a great find! When we're in the area, that will be a top pick for breakfasts for sure!

Ok this has to be my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I loved the food so much. Alfredo was my…read moreserver and he had the best recommendation and I loved it. The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language. But this is soo good and I can see why the reviews on yelp are all stellar.

I live close, so have come here quite a bit over the year…read more Pro- Just got renovated, so it looks pretty. The staff is nice, and the food is good. They also have lunch specials, which is nice. Cons- There is ALWAYS a weird perm smell when you go. It literally smells like someone is perming their hair, so not good. Another con is sometimes it takes long to get your food. And last but not least, I think their prices are not reasonable lately. Some of the prices do not match their menu, not sure when they raised their prices but I have never ever heard of a patacon costing almost $26 anywhere, and I frequent a lot of Venezuelan spots. Their name went from Q'Kenan restaurant to Q'Kenan Steakhouse so maybe now they just raised all the prices, I don't know. Their most expensive patacon on the menu is the one with Picańha and it says $17...yet I got charged 25.90. Regardless of how good something is, there shouldn't be a $9 difference from what is on the menu. That is absurd. On my last trip- $43 for an empanada, tequeńos and a patacon just doesn't sound right for Venezuelan food, and I come from living in Miami where restaurants are supposed to be more expensive. Add a tip and you're paying over $50 for street food. That's wild.

Think flapjacks the size of your face--no exaggeration. Everything felt hearty, satisfying, and exactly what we needed after a long run. We visited on a Sunday around brunch time, so it was definitely busy. Because of our party size, we weren't able to be seated until everyone arrived, which meant about a 30-minute wait. Not ideal when you're starving, but once we got to the table, the experience really picked up. The staff was friendly, attentive, and checked in on us often throughout the meal. I ordered the Tractor Driver Combo to share, and it was more than enough food for two people (honestly, probably could have fed three!). We went with scrambled eggs, bacon, added a side of turkey sausage, and a vanilla waffle--everything was delicious and cooked just right. One small thing that stood out was that someone came around taking photos of our table and offered to sell them to us at the end. It felt a little unexpected, but I assume that's part of the touristy Orlando experience. Overall, it was a great spot for a hearty meal with generous portions and friendly service. If I'm back in the area, I'd definitely return and try something else on the menu--everything we saw coming out of the kitchen looked just as good.

A giant bun section open for the perusing, a wide open dining room with tranquil murals all over the wall. This is a good place to spend some time at and eat. Service is very friendly. At peak time of day, the buns always refill super fast. The dim sum orders took some time to make their way out to our table, but that's ok. I think this place does an insane amount of take-out business. Food was dynamite. Just look at those buns. Adorned with plenty of toppings that pack a wallop of flavor. Always moist and fluffy and the perfect levels of sweet and/or savory. One could make a breakfast, lunch, and dinner out of this section alone. The dim sum, though, that's what left the biggest impact on me. Dim sum places, I feel like, are trying to capitalize on the popularity and offer smaller and smaller portions.

I will definitely have to return to try some of their other bakery buns and the hot food items!
