I will update this review when I get to try my food. I placed an order on Uber Eats (I was at work…read moreand 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.

The Octopus appetizer tasted burned and didn't look appetizing. We did not want to complain to the server because we don't like to complain. It makes it look like we don't want to pay for it. We had the Ribeye and the skirt steak, both were just basic. No wow there. The service was good but the food was just ok honestly.

The restaurant itself is gorgeous. We went for a friend's birthday, and our server was super attentive and helpful all night. I had the carpaccio, which was pretty good, and the espresso martini was amazing (you really can't mess that up). The Paloma was just okay, and my friend's salmon croquettes were a little dry. It is definitely on the pricier side, and they automatically add a 20% gratuity, but you can go directly into Mangos & other bars without cover overall it's such a beautiful experience.

I requested a garlic sauce, sometimes referred to as mojo sauce. I described it as a tangy garlic…read moresauce with a lighter, more liquid consistency. What was brought to the table appeared to be sautéed onions with garlic. I politely explained that this wasn't what I was expecting and that I had anticipated a sauce with a thinner consistency. At that point, the server's tone became noticeably confrontational and he insisted that what had been served was the sauce I was describing. The interaction became uncomfortable, and the server continued to give us what felt like dirty looks for the remainder of our visit. The situation left us feeling unwelcome and ultimately made us want to leave. I've included a photo so others can decide for themselves whether what was served matches the description of a garlic/mojo sauce.

I recently went to Orlando for a conference, and while we spent the majority of our time in a large…read moreresort and convention center, the leadership of the organization hosting the conference hosted a special dinner in one of the reservable ballrooms at the Cuba Libre Restaurant. I believe it may have been the Havana Ballroom. There was plenty of food, drinks, and mingling. The Cuba Libre Restaurant staff were great, and the venue was well laid out and worked for this event very well. When we arrived around 6:30 PM on a Saturday evening for our event, we first mingled around the tables and near the cash bar. There were a bunch of large tables that we began to fill out. As our program began and announces made and awards given out, appetizers were passed out. We were offered Guacamole Cubano, Mama Amelia's Empanadas, and Shrimp Cocktail which we passed around to the entire table. Personally, I skipped the guacamole and shrimp dishes but absolutely loved the empanadas. Yum! Then, an individual Cuban House Salad was passed out with red wine vinaigrette. This was also quite tasty. Next came the entrees including a choice of Salmon Paradiso, Ropa Vieja, Citrus Chicken, or Paella Vegetariana. I was trying to decide between the Ropa Vieja (beef brisket) and the Citrus Chicken. While the Citrus Chicken sounded perfect, I asked the serving staff their advice, and they recommended the Ropa Vieja for a true taste of Cuba. I was happy that I did even though it may have been more heavy and with a kick than I was expecting. I'm still glad I ordered it though. It was wonderfully prepared! And then, everyone received Cuban Flan for dessert. The Cuba Libre Restaurant & Rum Bar celebrates Cuban heritage and explores Cuban flavors, music, art, and traditions. The mission of the restaurant is to provide an "escape" to Havana through exciting food and beverages and entertainment experiences to celebrate the Cuban people and their culture. Orlando hosts one of several of this restaurant around the United States. This restaurant is in the midst of the Pointe Orlando. You can find details on their website: https://cubalibrerestaurant.com/en/orlando. You can find menus, entertainment, blogs, make reservations, specials, and more. The Cuba Libre Restaurant is open for brunch on weekends from 12 PM to 4 PM, for dinner Monday through Thursday from 5 PM to 10 PM, Friday from 5 PM to 10:30 PM, Saturday from 4 PM to 10:30 PM, and Sunday from 4 PM to 10 PM. Happy Hour is at the bar and bar tables on weekdays from 5 PM to 6 PM and weekends from 4 PM to 6 PM. They have a special Chef's Tasting menu during dinner. They also host weekend nightlife and shows on Fridays with a live band from 7:30 PM to 12:15 AM and a DJ and dancing from 10 PM to 2 AM on both Fridays and Saturdays. It was certainly a great event and a fun place to be!

Yelp review…read more https://yelp.to/mEBBeSjXAO Although I've only had homemade Puerto Rican food in my lifetime, the food here at Made in PR Orlando was really good! The service was just ok, but worth it for the flavor. I ordered the coquito rum martini....only needed one! It was really good and really potent. For dinner I had the pollo relleno with arroz con gandules. The pollo was stuffed with cheese, plantains, and ham, topped with a garlic cream sauce. Sooooo good! I would definitely go back if I am ever in Orlando again.

It has a pleasant enough ambiance and since it is in a shopping plaza, parking should not be an issue. The trifongo is the house specialty and it was good.

The ambiance and the warmth of the staff took me back to the Caribbean--it definitely felt like home. Their menu features a Latin-Asian fusion, and I loved every second of it. We started with the Krab Salad. It was incredibly fresh, topped with avocado, and the perfect way to open my appetite for a sushi night. Next were the Pork Fried Gyoza, served with a sticky, glossy sauce that has just the right amount of kick. They were so good, you won't be able to put your chopsticks down. The Escobar Roll combines shrimp tempura and churrasco--the best of both worlds. It's topped with sweet plantains, chimichurri sauce, eel sauce, and spicy mayo. I had my doubts about all those flavors working together, but I have no idea how they perfected that combination--they absolutely did. The Mar y Tierra Roll was recommended by our waiter, and I highly recommend ordering it in tempura. It gives the roll a completely different texture, and it's absolutely amazing. The Pollo Loco Roll is topped with sweet plantains and teriyaki sauce. It's simple, yet packed with flavor. We finished it all off with a crème brûlée. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I'd be enjoying one at a sushi restaurant, but it was the perfect ending to an incredible meal. If you're looking for creative sushi, unique Latin-inspired flavors, outstanding service, and an atmosphere that makes you feel like family, The Escobar Kitchen is definitely worth the visit.

Being part of the parking structure doesn't mean that they validate your parking. If you can find street parking, definitely do that instead. I had the churassco med-well. It came with two sides, I had the tostones and salad. It was alright, but I definitely had better. I ordered it to eat it there and they put all the sauces in to-go containers, which was weird. The sauces were in such tiny containers, you definitely would need more. My friend got the mushroom arepa and a side of the sweet plantains that she really enjoyed. Service was good. The girl taking our order was super nice and polite. It was more like one step up from fast/food and self-served.

A Hyped Spot That Couldn't Deliver…read more We were beyond excited to try this place -- it's been all over our social media feeds, so we made a point to stop in during our trip to Orlando. Unfortunately, the experience didn't come close to matching the hype. The ambience is genuinely cute, tucked into an otherwise unremarkable plaza. The hostess was sweet and took our name down for a table -- and then we waited 45 minutes, on a Sunday around 5pm, for a restaurant that wasn't even overflowing. Once seated, it took another 10+ minutes just to see our server. Our waitress was kind and apologetic throughout, but that couldn't make up for what came next. The menu pricing raised eyebrows before we even ordered -- charging extra ($2-$3) for sauces, or for something as simple as adding onions to chicken, felt excessive. No bread comes to the table either, so if you're already starving from the wait, come prepared. My biggest issue, though, was that the restaurant seemed completely unprepared to meet its own hype. If you're bringing in influencers and content creators to advertise specific dishes -- and that's clearly driving a huge chunk of your business -- you need to be able to actually serve those dishes. We arrived on time, not late, and over half the menu was unavailable. They didn't even have the whole roasted chicken, one of their most advertised items. Nearly everything we tried to order was out. For people who traveled a good distance specifically for this food, that's a real letdown. To be fair, what we did get was tasty -- the egg rolls, arroz con gandules, and bistec encebollado were all solid.
