Per.fec.tion. We had Colombian empanadas, Venez. pastelitos, pollo al horno, churrasco, with yuca, sweet and tostones, yellow rice and red beans, papa criolla. We didnt leave a grain of rice on the plates. I was so impressed that the herb flavor went all through the chicken--anywhere else in life, the seasoning is just in the surface of the meat, but thus was fully permeated. The passionfruit and colombiana were our favorite drinks. We werent as into the blackberry juice (my husband says it is better with milk mixed in?) and the tres leches wasnt my personal fave just cause i like it more fruit style than cinnamon, but my daughter loved it read more

Food was incredible! Restaurant super clean and open. We went for breakfast. Highly recommend their Cuban Waffle! So yummy and portion is huge. My daughter had thejr Nutella empanada and so chocolately and decadent. Definitely will be back! read more

Best Latin food I have eaten in Florida hands down. I come here every time I make the trip down to Orlando. Service is also quick.

The food was great and the service as well! The outside area was perfect and the fish was just what I wanted!

Thanks Yelp. A very pleasant experience this morning- check out the photos. My wife and I each had their Dos Huevos Desayuno breakfast. Scrambled eggs, bacon, yucca and Cuban toast. You get 2 slices of thick bacon. Must be 3 or 4 eggs (really large serving). The yucca and toast. An outstanding value at $8.00 each. We also had their Americano coffee (yes they can make them decaf) excellent. At $2.25 each for fresh made its a good value. So it appears to be a family run business. Staff was very friendly. You need to visit when in the area. This is why Yelp is so outstanding- try the family run restaurants. You will not go wrong. read more

Excellent food, mojito flight was amazing Will definitely return when we visit this area. read more

You walk up to the counter and order your food they also have a full bar so you can get cocktails or beer. Seat yourself and they serve your food shortly there after the food was amazing service was great lots of attention to you while you're sitting there. I think the many choices are very good prices are very reasonable and it's a good family kind of place. read more

Spacious patio with fans and gorgeous lighting. Seems made for dancing. Need to order as you walk in but it saves you money in the tip and you can leave when you're done!!! 8 Papa Rellena - fried mashed potatoes stuffed with meat 10 Cuban Empanada w chicken 10+ Venezuelan empanada w cheese - Crunchy thin corn shell and salty cheese, don't need the dip! 9 Venezuelan empanada w shredded beef - thick corn shell with flavorful shredded beef served with a dill dip Passion fruit juice - Tastes like it isn't fresh and is sweetened and watered down, but this isn't a bad thing because we actually liked it. :) Gold Peak Tea machine features Southern Sweet, Unsweetened, and Raspberry tea. I got the Southern sweet and don't think it's even California sweet. 9.5 Churrasco - Tender seasoned steak with a tasty chimchurri sauce served with a side salad and your choice of 3 sides. The 3 sides really make this a great deal. Sooo much yummy food! I would get extra chimchurri sauce next time. So sad that it's all gone now. :( 7.5 Fried Yuca - Tastes like a thick French fry but better 8 Sweet Plantain - not as caramelized as I like but tasty 7 Black Beans were good but nothing out of the ordinary from what we get in California 8 Cuchapa with Cheese - Lukewarm with a sweet corn shell drizzled with a cream sauce. I found two layers of corn made it too sweet but it was perfect when I only used half of the shell. 9 Coconut Flan - very sweet compared to Mexican flan. The coconut goes very well with it. Definitely good to eat with a coffee nearby. The consultancy is more pudding than a dense Mexican flan 9 Cortadito - I thought that a cortadito had more half and half in it but this is like straight espresso! It is smooth and dark (I added a touch of cane sugar). All said in done, we've eaten so much that we can't walk and I will definitely come back. I will miss thee most Venezuelan Cheese Empenada!!!! read more

No way I'll return... yellow rice and chicken dried out. As well as chicken on the salad. Black beans and yuca was very good. I called to let them know all she said was "ok" well your business will not get my dollars ever again. Okay. read more

Food was okay, not bad but not anything special. The coffee was quite good however. The main detractor here was the service. You order on a computer screen when you come in, which I'm not a fan of. The table service is less than enthusiastic and they won't bring you so much as water, utensils or napkins. I missed the station where those items are self service but instead of showing me where to go they just walked off. read more

Really great food! A real Cuban sandwich, monster burger, and you have to try the picada for 2 (more like 3 or 4 lol) read more

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

I've actually never given anywhere a bad review, and I was looking forward to coming here so it makes me a bit sad to write this. We waited in line to order on the kiosk to go, 2 cafe con leches and a Malta India. I figured okay it's probably going to be a few minutes, they're busy. Little did I know we would be waiting there for 20+ minutes for 3 drinks. I worked in food service before so I know it can be difficult, but I saw no reason for this. They completely ignored to go orders and only focused on sit down orders then got to us. They had plenty of staff, so it didn't seem to understaffed. Some of these staff were just standing upfront talking to one another. I used the restroom when waiting for drinks only to see another staff member fixing her hair (in a hair net) and doing her makeup (not just lipstick, eyes, the whole ordeal.) I started to wonder if this was one of the reasons why our order of 3 drinks took so long, because people just appeared to be slacking off. We finally got our drinks to go, and the cafe con leches were weak and watered down. Didn't even taste like cafe con leche. The guy who made them used the same coffee grounds from the first cup to make the second, so it makes sense why it was so weak. Something was said to an employee about our wait time and we were completely brushed off. Rude service, over priced. I would never recommend. read more

This place had decent reviews so decided to try it out . Cute interior and close to Disney Springs area. You walk up and order then take number to table to wait fir your food. I was really excited to get my Cuban sandwich only to realize half way in that I didn't get a Cuban sandwich. Apparently I was given the pork sandwich , which if I'm honest was bland. I was able to add the garlic cilantro sauce we asked for and that helped with the flavor . But really disappointed I didn't get what I ordered . My son got the special chicken Milanese, he said it was good but more rice than chicken . My husband got the ham and cheese arepa. He said it was just ok. Perhaps you will get luckier than us if you try. Check your order before you dive in, for sure !!! read more

Whenever I get a chance to visit Florida, I'm always on the lookout for any Cuban or Puerto Rican restaurant where I can get some skirt steak and sweet plantains. It didn't take long for Sofrito's to come up in my Yelp search. I'm not exaggerating when I say we had a feast. We ordered churrasco, rice, red beans and sweet plantains, a tripleta, tostones and croquetas. OMG! Everything was so delicious! Even my kid's chicken fingers were perfectly breaded and so crispy. Their mojito was by far the best one I had in my vacation. I was sad it was the very last day of our vacation because otherwise, I would have been back for more. read more

Based on the fantastic Yelp reviews, I knew we had to try this place while visiting Orlando. The inside space is cute and casual, and there is a large outdoor patio. The Churassco is absolutely fantastic! I would recommend this above anything else on the menu. The meat was so incredibly tender, and the chimichurri was some of the best I've had. Truly. Each entree comes with two sides, so you end up with a ton of food...not that I'm complaining! If that was the only thing we ordered, this restaurant would be a 5/5. Unfortunately, my husband had the roast chicken, which was a bit dry. However, the yuca fries he had were so yummy! I think we will be returning here during our next visit to Orlando! read more

The rice and beans with tostones and a nice piece of Churrasco was amazing !! Overall nice place and good quality food .

I greatly enjoyed our Cuban sandwiches. Convenient to SeaWorld and Disney. Well priced, friendly staff.

This spot had been on my list to visit FOREVER, so I was so happy to finally make it here. This location is located directly in Lake Buena Vista, not far from Disney, on Palm Parkway. The restaurant is large and super cute with a beautiful bar and a somewhat rustic ambiance. The menu is quite extensive and offers a great variety of options, including several vegetarian choices. I ordered the Vegetarian plate which came with a nice collection of vegetables and three sides. The portions were large and satisfying. The sides were really the standout of the meal for me! I loved the yucca, the sweet plantains and the black beans. I'll definitely return to Sofrito! read more

The BEST restaurant we have had in a very long time. We stayed in the Bahamas for a few days before coming to Orlando. We spent a ton of money on expensive food in the Bahamas and this place out beat every restaurant by far. It was extremely affordable, large portion, and AMAZING flavor. Seriously so good. We're going to be going back this trip because it was that delicious. read more

Nowadays I feel like the wait time should be taken into consideration when rating. We now have the responsibility to grade on whether the wait time is worth the food. Due to the LONG wait time and mediocre food sofrito Latin cafe barely makes it to 3 stars. If you're in a hurry or hungry I'd pass on this place. 1-star location 1-star cleanliness 1-star ambiance -1star Service (wait time/host/cashier) -1 star food quality (mediocre) Overall, nothing but a cold iced coffee would bring me back since that's the only item they managed to bring quick and of good quality. read more

The family was in mood for some delicious Latin American food for dinner, and Sofrito Latin Cafe hit the spot! We really appreciated the ordering system. You stand in line for a few minutes, make your selections with the help of the staff, get a number, and finally sit and be served. It seemed to be the most efficient and fastest way to be served. Speaking of wait, our food came out in around 30 min which is to be expected, considering the volume of people coming through. The. Food. Was. Amazing! I got the Churrasco skirt steak which was delightfully tender and flavorful. The sides were good, but the steak was certainly the star. Portion sizes were excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant. Service was excellent. Staff brought out the food correctly and courteously. And overall the value was outstanding. All in all, a highly recommended restaurant experience for the area. We hope to be back soon. read more

Sofrito Latin Cafe - Delicious Churrasco plate with Fried Yucca, Tostones, and Sweet Plantains - Latin American Near Me - Orlando, Florida

Excellent restaurant! I highly recommend eating here. I love the contemporary vibe. Sofrito Latin Cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating, and even a bar. They even have free WiFi and board games so you can hangout for a while. I LOVE that they serve different Latin dishes from different regions - it's like everything Latin goodness under one roof! You order your food at the front, find a seat, then a server will bring your scrumptious food out to you. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner. We had dinner with a party of 8, and we had no problem finding a table to accommodate all of us. Everything we ordered was over-the-top delicious! We tried the ham croquettes, mini papa rellena, cachapa, roast pork, churrasco (skirt steak with chimichurri sauce,) and the pargo rojo (snapper fillet) with sides like yellow rice, black beans, tostones and more. All delicious food! We wanted to eat there again before heading back to California, but time didn't allow us. I guess that means we need to go back to Orlando. =) read more

Sofrito is in a convenient location near Walt Disney World for good food. It is a quick service restaurant so upon entering, you can grab a menu and order at the counter. They give you a number that you put on the table so they know where to deliver the food. I like that the food is a mix, especially of meats. My favorite is the pork. That dish is my go to with black beans, rice and boiled yucca. The pork is so soft and juicy and flavorful. One time I tried the sangria and it was excellent. I would recommend it. The staff is super friendly and helpful. I appreciate that they check in with you during the meal to clear the table of dishes and to refill water. It gets super busy on Saturday nights so they're less attentive, but when it's not a huge rush, they are very present. I appreciate that this gem of a restaurant is nearby the Walt Disney World theme parks. read more

I thought this would be a place of quality but of course you can't trust these restaurants with quality. The take out orders are really really tiny. I had ordered rice, beans and chicharron. The pork smelled old and rotten. The salad for that price was tiny as well. It also barely had any dressing so I wanted $ on that because I had to throw out almost all of it due to it being dry. They couldn't even send a dressing for it. read more
