Still thinking about my phenomenal breakfast sandwich on Cuban bread. I looked it up and don't have any Zaza's near me but I would come back just for this sandwich. Mind you this is only HALF of it. And it came with some really good sauces. Highly recommend for your breakfast needs

Cubano minus the cheese
Priscilla P.

Very friendly service, nice atmosphere that is both lively and relaxing. I had the Cubano minus cheese and thought it was very good. The bread was nicely toasted and meat was flavorful

Decent enough stop in the airport. I am a fan of the Zaza's Cuban Cafe locations around Orlando and this airport outpost of the Cuban food eatery was decent enough for a stop at a ridiculously early time in the airport fora ridiculously early flight. The woman behind the counter was friendly enough and while it is not inexpensive, it is in line for what the other places charge in the airport. As far as ambiance, it is a small place geared to grab a drink and maybe something to eat and bring to the seats by your gate. If you are in the terminal, it is not a bad location.

Cubano Sandwich

We were in the Orlando Airport while waiting a few hours for our flight home. The restaurant was not overly busy so we looked at a menu and thought we would give it a try. We love empanadas and these did not disappoint. My husband really loved the queso empanada. We then were contemplating the bowl or Cubano sandwich. We asked the waiter who told us go with the sandwich and so, we decided on the sandwich. We also got the sauces one was creamy and delicious. The other had a slight spice and went great with the pork. For an airport restaurant, we got a table right away and the waiter was attentive and friendly. It is slightly busier on the take out side. All in all, we had a wonderful lunch and enjoyed getting away from the hustle and bustle of the airport and all the travelers. FYI - they do serve beer but just don't advertise it as much which is why I think the gastro pub next door is a bit busier.

The problem withthis location is I have to ring in my order I pay at the same computer screen and they scream your number and you have to fight way your way to the front like a Wawa but 10 times more customer.. That would be no problem just like at wawa it not a problem. The big problem is they add tip itt not optional as they advertise. Tip for who I ordered I payed I went to get my food. Again not optional. Most people don't even know they got billed for tip. They have the nerve to add a tip jar at pick up guest are stuffing it with cash. No clue they already tipped 33.50.for one sandwich and water. They have tables but for 28.00 dollars your allowed to sit at the table you have to sit and have a server wait on you I can only image the price of the food and how much tip you are charged there.bthe cuban sandwich was good. 28 dollars good I don't think so but it the airport.

I couldn't leave Florida without trying some Cuban food, so here I was trying something Cuban at MCO. They serve a bunch of different coffees, breakfast, and Cuban sandwiches, pastries, and bowls. What was frustrating for me was that they were literally out of everything except the chicken, and it wasn't an odd hour. So, I had to order the mojo chicken sandwich and beef empanada. The sandwich was just some pieces of reheated frozen chicken with Pik-Nik potato sticks and pickles. It was okay, but nothing you can't make yourself. It was also kind of small and lacked protein despite the price. The empanada was also small, but pretty good for a beef empanada. Remember to make sure you get your sauces. The Zaza verde tastes like a generic salsa verde that is quite spicy, and the Cubaioli tastes like a creamy garlicky mayonnaise, that's not too reminiscent of cilantro. It's okay for airport food, though hopefully next time they won't be randomly sold out of everything. If you don't want to walk back here from your gate, there's a smaller Zaza kiosk further down the terminal that serves a more limited selection and grab and go items.

cubano and mojito!!
Shahrouz H.

Killer Cuban at airport?!?! Got cubano empenada and mojito ALL excellent and great service to tip it off! Wish we had this in LAX!

Elizabeth R.

Good atmosphere for an airport spot. The food felt a bit overpriced. However, the cubano was one of the best I have ever had. A bit on the slower side so have time for waiting.

Gloria M.

Quick coffee and empanada at the airport. The line was short, order was ready fast, and was hot and fresh.

Beef bowl
Morgan W.

Ebded up at this restaurant after assessing the limited options. Airport food is usually so expensive and disappointing. I'm happy to share that the beef bowl was honestly so, so surprisingly tasty. The beans have a notable Smokey flavor, which adds a nice depth for the other basic ingredients. The beef was tasty and not too small of a portion. I'd come back here and get a coffee or empanadas next time too!

Zaza Cuban Cafe has a quick service stand located in the Orlando International Airport (MCO) near gates 30-59 that is a must try spot! They are best known for their authentic Cuban coffee , fresh empanadas, and freshly pressed Cubano sandwiches. They serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner all day with other items like pastries and various sandwich options on Cuban bread or croissants.

Sausage, egg and cheese on Cuban bread with a large iced mocha
Travis W.

Certainly a pretty good choice for breakfast at the Orlando International. Service is quite efficient. And of course views of tarmac makes for a nice way to pass the time. I got the sausage, egg and cheese on Cuban bread and a large iced mocha. Overall, decent quality. I would come here again for their fast service.

Starting my day with a cafe con leche.
Alisia V.

Anytime I'm in MCO, this is where I go for coffee. This is the coffee my abuelita used to make me as a kid. Obviously a lil more milk back then but this takes me back to a cozy time in life. They are quick to the draw on taking the orders and getting them out and they pronounce my name correctly every time.

The owner, Jessica, is from Puerto Rico (Boricua like me!), which made the visit even more special. You order and pay at the counter, then enjoy the beautiful dining area. It's welcoming with comfortable seating and a sophisticated white-on-black décor featuring inspiring messages about life and God's providence. It's a lovely spot with great food and a warm atmosphere. I'll definitely be back next time I'm in Orlando

As soon as we walked in, we were greeted with warm smiles, and the cozy atmosphere immediately made us feel welcome. We ordered two kinds of smoothies along with their traditional beignets. The beignets were generously dusted with powdered sugar, and when I took my first bite, they were hot, fresh, and wonderfully chewy on the inside. I honestly don't think I've ever had freshly made beignets before, and they were absolutely delicious! We were both so excited to discover this place. They offer several different varieties of beignets, and we're already looking forward to trying more of them little by little on future visits. Today was my cheat day, and it was completely worth it for these amazing treats! The smoothies were also fantastic. They weren't overly sweet, and you could really taste the freshness of the fruit. I highly recommend Beignets & Brew to anyone who has never tried freshly made beignets--or to anyone who simply loves a delicious sweet treat. We will definitely be back!

The croquetas were perfectly crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside, and the Cuban sandwich was one of the best I've had--packed with flavor and made just right.

Here is the honest breakdown: * The Coffee: Solid and well-prepared. It had good depth and rich flavor, easily the high point of the stop. * The Croquetas: Disappointing. They were noticeably overdone and arrived burnt, completely missing the mark on the crispy, creamy standard you expect from a Cuban spot. * The Atmosphere & Service: The biggest issue came down to basic courtesy. While I was using the restroom, an employee began knocking on the door. I clearly called out "occupied," only for her to start knocking again just moments later. It felt rushed, impatient, and entirely unprofessional. A good cup of coffee cannot carry a visit when the food quality is off and the service lacks standard manners. Hard to recommend when there are far better options around.
