What diners say — our read

An average alone would undersell where this place is now. Opinion on front-of-house is split — those reviews land at 3.0 on average.

7 of 17 rated reviews are four stars or higher; 9 are two or lower. No one in this corpus comments on speed of service at all. The single most common rating left here is 1 star (9 of 17).

None of that is visible in a star rating: the most recent DBPR inspection graded this kitchen an F (32/100), citing 5 high-priority, 3 intermediate, and 19 basic violations. Diner sentiment and inspection result are measuring different things here, and only one of them is checked by the state. The visit behind that grade was January 20, 2026. Across its inspection history the kitchen is declining, which argues for reading the older reviews with caution. That puts it ahead of 0% of graded kitchens in Orange County. For specifics, the last inspection cited food & equipment thermometers provided and accurate and in-use food dispensing utensils properly stored.

Both halves of this page point the same unflattering way, which at least makes it simple. The underlying reviews are reproduced in full underneath.

    El personal muy amable

    We saw this place in our trip to Orlando and decided to try it out we order empanadas and some other items when I saw the prices I almost left everything is overpriced and only one person taking care of tables and to-go orders definitely will not be coming back here on my week in Orlando

    Excelente súper recomendado

    Really good empanadas and parrillada! food was beautifully plated as shown in the picture in their menu and was abundant and flavorful. They have different types of salsas you can use to dip in the yuca, tostones and arepas. Yum!

    It was okay. Not all that great for the expensive price

    I am writing to share how much I enjoyed my recent visit to your restaurant. The establishment was very clean and organized, and the food was delicious. I especially want to commend our waitress for her excellent service. While I do not recall her name, she has blonde hair and provided a wonderful dining experience.

    This place is a scam. They charged me for some food that I did not order. On the other hand, they included in my invoice 18% fee for service. They should inform customers about charging tip before do it. Please order to go to avoid that charge if you want to try that place and review carefully your order. I will never come to that place

    El servicio fue deficiente. Le pregunté por un especial de 3 fritos por 9.00 y me dijo que no se podía cambiar o cancelar la orden. La comida no vale el precio . Además me cargaron de más en la cuenta.

    Este lugar es un engaño. Había una promoción de 8:00 am a 10:00 am que nunca se me ofreció y cuándo me di cuenta me dijeron que ya no podían dármela porque no la pedí desde el inicio. Y que habían carteles en el restaurante con la promoción. Me pareció ilógico la explicación. No recomiendo este lugar a nadie.

    Food was yummy. Service was very attentive and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. Thank you. Definitely get the beef empanada ría

    Ojalá pudiera darle 0 estrellas ⭐️ Compré unos “panes dulces piñitas” y otros postres para llevar, en lugar de azúcar, tenían muchísima sal 🤢. La atención y el servicio al cliente fueron pésimos y, para completar, cobran la propina de forma obligatoria cuando en Estados Unidos la propina generalmente es opcional y se deja como agradecimiento por un buen servicio… cosa que claramente aquí no sucede. Definitivamente fue una experiencia muy decepcionante. No recomiendo ir a perder su dinero en este lugar.

    $5 for coffee no refills And the cashier charged us $10 service charge without asking us

  • May 3, 2026

    La comida estaba decente, no entiendo por qué tratan de ser listos y agregan el 18 % de servicio sin preguntarte. Terminas pagando el doble que cualquier sitio regular con todos los extras más el servicio.

    Que arepa mas tiesa Dios mío . Dios los ampare.

    All the flavors hit the spot. True representation of Venezuelan flavors.

    Great restaurant with hard working people dealing with the lies of the American Dream.

    Si pudiera no dar ninguna estrella lo haría. Fuimos un grupo, con niños, el restaurante solo tenía algunas mesas con personas comiendo, sin embargo había más de 3 personas atendiendo y ninguna podía atendernos ni sentados en la mesa ni pidiendo para llevar (pensamos que sería más fácil así), realmente queríamos probar la comida pero nos llevamos un mal rato, después de esperar tanto cuadro por fin se acerca una de las chicas que pensamos nos iban a atender nos dice que nos podían atender en 10 minutos más, con orden para llevar !!! Insólito ! Repito el restaurante estaba prácticamente vacío, además se venden como un bakery que debería atender rápido para llevar también!! Yo no sé si es el personal, o son los dueños, pero realmente es un mal rato y pérdida de tiempo ir a este lugar, no vayan a menos que quieran esperar más de 30 minutos en un lugar vacío solo para pedir 1 empanada para llevar. Realmente este lugar debería mejorar esto si quieren seguir, veo los comentarios y todos sus reviews negativos que son muchos se quejan de lo mismo. Ojalá puedan solucionarlo o aunque sea dejar a alguien fijo para atender a la gente que entra solo a comprar y llevar comida que no tarda más de 5 minutos en irse del local. Perdieron una gran venta, y seguro no somos los únicos que han perdido. Ojalá mejoren.
