    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

    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.

    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.

    Cubano Sandwich
    Krista G.

    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.

    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.

We didn't realize they only offer bialys or sesame buns, but we were all pleasantly surprised and happy with our choices. Everyone except me ordered a bacon, egg, and cheese on different bialys like jalapeño & Muenster, everything, and caramelized onion. I ordered the bacon sandwich on a jalapeño & Muenster bialy, which was delicious. My sandwich came with bacon, an over-medium egg, and smoked jalapeño cream cheese, all perfectly toasted. There were no complaints from anyone, honestly, we all ate in silence, which says a lot because we were too busy enjoying the food. The only downside is that it's not much of a dine-in spot, as they only have high-top tables and no chairs. I also got an iced cinnamon latte, which was not overly sweet and had a great espresso flavor. One of my friends ordered a hot lavender latte and really enjoyed it. We were so hungry I forgot to take pictures! If we lived closer, we'd definitely come here more often.

I placed a pickup order and even pre-tipped, but when I walked in there were only a handful of people in the shop. I stood at the pickup counter for about 15 seconds while multiple employees watched me come in, yet no one acknowledged me, greeted me, or asked if I was there for an order. I eventually had to get someone's attention just to receive my pickup. It's a very small store, only a few feet from the entrance to the counter, so it felt strange to be ignored. To make matters worse, my bagel appeared to be underbaked. The inside was pale, dense, and doughy instead of the chewy texture you'd expect from a freshly baked bagel. I understand that mistakes happen, but combined with the lack of basic customer service, it made for a frustrating experience. I really do love Jeff's Bagel Run, which is why this is disappointing to write. Great food can only carry a business so far. Friendly service and consistent quality are what keep customers coming back, and I hope they address both before more loyal customers start looking elsewhere.

I got it with a side of these Home Fries, which, as you can see, has the potatoes crisped to perfection, and is slathered in cheese and giant chunks of bacon. These were really indulgent, and if you order this, plan on sharing. We also had an order of the Challah French Toast (Toped with cinnamon sugar and powder sugar). This thing was thiccc, sweet, and delicious. It is very thicc, so plan on a lot of syrup dipping. But it's good, if you love French toast and have a sweet tooth, get this. Last thing we tried was a Large potato Knish (Thin layer of dough stuffed with seasoned mashed potatoes baked to perfection and server with Düsseldorf mustard). This was good. Well-cooked dough, not made too soggy from the mash, and the mustard cut through all the decadence in a nice way. Overall, this was an exquisite visit. This place needs to be winning best breakfasts and brunches, instead of national chains. I like to keep it local when I can, and I will be coming back here.
