    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.

    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.

    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.

    This little to-go version of Zaza is located exactly in front of Gate 12 in terminal A. It's tiny but mighty as the line was way outside the shop. I waited about 20 minutes but it was hot and delicious food and the workers were nice and quick even with the long lines at 5AM! The ham, egg, and cheese on a Cuban bread sandwich was so large, half of it filled me up. I spent $20 on a cold brew coffe and breakfast sandwich but it was worth it as I had a 4 hour flight ahead of me.

    How busy this amazing place is.

    Wow! What a pleasant surprise to find this gem at Orlando airport. The food and ambiance were great. My husband and I had a breakfast cubano sandwich, guava pastelito, and café con leche. Everything was amazing, but what makes this place is the staff and their attention to detail. Ariel was our server and our barista Mayrim both went over and beyond their service to make our experience great. Kudos to them and Zaza's Cuban Cafe for their excellent staff.

    Had an okay experience at the airport coffee spot! The line was long but moving fast so we went to the computer to order ourselves. There were signs for the seasonal coffee everywhere but when we got to the machine it said it was not available. Maybe take the signs down if you don't have it anymore, or fix the machine if that's not accurate? The medium coffee was the smallest size available and with my oat milk and caramel flavoring it came to a little over $10 which in my opinion is extremely expensive for a coffee. They brought out trays of coffee and called everyone instead of handing it out when it's made, which caused a large group of people waiting around. I get an airport markup cost, just probably wouldn't recommend this location unless you're in dire need of a pick me up!

    Very good and reasonably priced airport food! The cubano and rice bowl were both great and used good ingredients. Service was great as well!

    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.

    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 coffee was super good and very flavorful! The empanada was moist on the inside and flaky on the outside! I think if it also had a sauce to go with it it would have been better though! The service was quick and very helpful, especially considering I have a hard time making coffee choices!

    I don't have high expectations for airport food in general, but I was pleasantly surprised to have a delicious Cubano sandwich on toasted bread and a cappuccino clearly made with high quality coffee. They have cocktails as well, though I wasn't in the mood to sample them at the time. There's not a ton of seating space, but a decent amount at the bar and at the window looking out on the tarmac.

    Perfect Cubano! Great bread and meats! Closer to a Miami style than a Tampa/Ybor version. Service was polite. Fonished off with a nice Cuban Espresso Price is a good value for airport food

    Added 25 minutes for a Cubano sandwich, maybe someone took mine but I was right at the front. Another person had an espresso take 10 minutes

Something told me to look at the breakfast sandwich and I was shocked. I ended up ordered a chicken empanada and a tequeno in case I didn't like the sandwich because it looks awful (doesn't taste good either) In total with the additional purchase I spent $30. I feel like I got ripped off badly. They slapped two deli slices on this sandwich and they gave it to me on hamburger buns. This isn't what was advertised on their order screens or website. I wish I could get a refund because I didn't even enjoy the first bite and ended up not eating. The empanada was another disappointment. Flavorless boiled chicken mixed with some potato with a lightly seasoned rosemary crust. They give you some kind of garlic sauce with it and it's to distract you from flavorless food. The sauce can't always save food. Very overpriced for mediocre food. The coffee was the only decent item I had. Not even the tequeno was good and it's just a stick of cheese wrapped in dough. You're better off spending money at a drive through. For the amount of money I paid I am Highly disappointed and upset with this experience. Definitely do not recommend wasting the drive or your money to come here.
