Located within Terminal B for Gates 30-59 in the center. This location offers both kiosks to order and an order counter with staff if you prefer to order via that way. There is some seating, but very busy so it's hard to snag a table before someone else takes. What I Ordered: ~ Cheese Danish: surprisingly moist, and full of flavor! For an airport, I didn't expect a decent sweet bread option. I'd definitely get again when flying American Airlines out of MCO. ~ Bottle of Water: Consistent with airport pricing, so grabbed a bottle to stay hydrated while traveling. ~ Cortado: the perfect balance of sweetness, milk, and espresso. My drink of choice for a quick coffee when traveling, and I think this is the best I've had across the country! This drink alone would have me return for a coffee before my flight whether it's morning, afternoon, or night! If you need a quick food item and/or coffee, this location is my suggestion in Terminal B. Safe travels!
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
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.
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.
Killer Cuban at airport?!?! Got cubano empenada and mojito ALL excellent and great service to tip it off! Wish we had this in LAX!
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.
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.
Quick coffee and empanada at the airport. The line was short, order was ready fast, and was hot and fresh.
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!
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.
No wait time walked and hostess cleaned a table of us which was perfect. Even thou they were busy. That why we had a wonderful server he was so happy and funny we enjoy our quick meal With empanadas 2 chicken and I ordered off the menu A side white and fried plantains wykyk And she had black beans rice with chicken veggies Great service clean and enjoy It can be tight with ordering on take out pick up read more

Marcia, it’s wonderful to hear that our hostess made room for you,…
You can rarely go wrong with Cuban food at a Florida airport, and Zaza's Cuban Café definitely hit the mark at Orlando International. This is easily a step above standard airport fare. I went with the pork bowl--because if you're having Cuban, pork is always the move. As a black bean aficionado, I was particularly impressed: robust, deeply flavorful legumes with plenty of sauce to bring the whole bowl together. Kiosk ordering was seamless, and service was surprisingly fast for a freshly prepared meal. read more

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. read more
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. read more

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! read more

I'm writing this review for ZaZa Terminal B. The Cuban black bean soup is great with green hot sauce added. Makes it super flavorful. Ask for Dino - He is great! read more
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! read more
American terminal 1-59. Very quick service. I think it was the only game in town as far as coffee goes. My basic coffee was fine. Nothing bad, nothing special. My wife's Coffee Con Leche was decent. The pastries looked great though. read more

Mary Jane, we're very sorry about your experience. Please fill out…
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. read more
Pretty good airport breakfast spot if you need a quick bite before your flight. I wish I had ordered a pastry! It was quite busy at the time I was there and the baristas work as quickly as possible. I do think I should have ordered my sausage, egg, and cheese in a softer bread. It was a bit dry. Everything else looked really good! Next time, Im at MCO, I'll try then again! read more

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. read more

We love Zaza! But we were disappointed that the small quick serve doesn't have cafe con leche and the items on the menu are quite limited. That's my only reason giving 4 stars. I got the regular dark roast coffee which was not bad - but it's not cuban cafe con leche. On a positive note the breakfast croissant was delicious and fresh and the quesitos aka pastelitos de queso were amazing as always. read more
