Sticky Rice Lao Street Food 1915 E. Colonial Drive User Ashley L. says: “This is one of my all time favorite restaurants in Orlando. … It’s a counter service set up and they bring the food to your table. Most items are small plates that are meant to be shared, so items are brought out as they are ready, not necessarily all at once. The menu isn’t huge, but everything is delicious and staff is friendly.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
Taglish Filipino-American Fare Lotte Market, 3191 W. Colonial Drive User Megan-Joy D. says: “The sisig on garlic rice was perfectly delicious with just the right amount of garlic-y flavor. My mom got the pancit. She thinks her pancit is better but every Filipino mom says that. The highlight of our meal was the holiday pumpkin spice halo halo.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
Tako Cheena 948 N. Mills Ave. User Roy G. says: “5 MILLION STARS!!! This food is just simply amazing!! I cannot give any one item a place above another but here is what I ate. The Korean bbq tacos; the Indian curry dusted tofu taco; the Panko crusted cod Taco; the Japa Dog; and an order of yuca fries.” Photo via Tako Cheena on Instagram
JJ’s Fresh From Scratch 2950 Curry Ford Road User Suzy K. says: “I was looking for a local restaurant to replace chipotle since they’ve disappointed me so many times and I try to stay away from fast food as often as possible. I can not say enough good things about the rice bowl I received. Was still hot and fresh even though I ordered delivery and the unique flavors and combinations kept me eating up until the last bite. Thank you for providing a fresh local option with plenty of ingredients for people with dietary restrictions.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
Border Grill Fresh-Mex 5695-A Vineland Road User David M. says: “Border Grill is seriously as good as it gets! Such a perfect place to run in for a delicious, hearty taco lunch. 3 good size tacos, rice, beans and a soda runs you about $11. I hear the burritos are even better, but I can’t say no to the multi meat variety you get with the tacos.” Photo via Border Grill Fresh-Mex on Facebook
Too Much Sauce 1430 N. Mills Ave. User Chloe L. says: “For a place that offers chic healthy bowls, their price is amazing! It’s almost half of the price of some of the other bowl places. Especially for the build your own option, you get to choose unlimited toppings, and you can put in the whole menu if you like. No way I can say no to that!” Photo by Rob Bartlett
At the Diner 9938 Universal Blvd., Suite 140 User Ashlie V. says: “What a great little hidden gem. My family and I came here before we hit the Disney World parks. We were greeted and seated right away in a comfy booth. … Everything was fantastic! Try their famous french toast, it is SO delicious!” Photo via At the Diner website
Super Rico Colombian Restaurant & Bar 57 W. Central Blvd. User Veronica P. says: “Comida muy deliciosa! We ordered the super burger, a few empanadas, and a chicken bowl. Everything was delicious and fresh! The empanadas came straight out of the oven and were delicious. I highly recommend an arequipe empanada for dessert (or an appetizer, whatever). It is a Colombian caramel empanada and it was a nice surprise to bite into.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
King Bao 710 N. Mills Ave. User Andrew V. says: “This is the best ‘street food’ casual bites in town, HANDS DOWN. I have NEVER had anything disappointing here, and the prices are super reasonable. If you want a little guidance, you can’t go wrong with the Cuban bao. It’s listed as a special but it always seems to be there! Pork, chicharron and lime aioli. I seriously hope it never goes away!” Photo via website
Taqueria Ameca 3558 S. Orange Ave. User Jennifer H. says: “I loved going to this taqueria. Everyone there had positive vibes and took their time with making sure you loved your food. I’ve been looking for birria tacos in the Orlando area for some time and I would 1000x suggest you go here! This is definitely a gem! Can’t wait to go back!” Photo via Taqueria Ameca on Facebook
Black Bean Deli multiple locations User Negan G. says: “My all time favorite orlando restaurant for about a thousand different reasons. I don’t know where to start besides saying it’s always consistent, worth the wait, the service is always so friendly, I’ve never had a bad experience and I’ve been there more times I can count. Even the delivery is amazing. I look forward to coming home from nyc specifically to have the following meal: baked chicken plate (white meat), iced cafe con leche, and quesito for dessert. It just doesn’t get better than this. Orlando has a decent food scene and this place (either location) is #1.” Photo via website
Versalles Cafe 9036 S. Orange Ave. User Jennifer L. says: “We just flew into Orlando for a wedding and were starved. Based on the reviews we figured we’d give this place a shot. We were not disappointed. The staff was very welcoming and friendly, the food was yummy, and the price beyond reasonable. The three of us left stuffed with a tab of just $23.” Photo via website
The Mexican Camel 5752 International Drive User Lindsey B. says: “This place is amazing! The food, customer service and price is just perfection. The food always tastes fresh, good temperature and portions. They always seem so happy to take care of you, I don’t feel rushed when ordering. Definitely a happy returning customer!” Photo via The Mexican Camel on Instagram
Tu Casa Restaurant 9251 S. Orange Blossom Trail User Bolivar A. says: “Staff is friendly. Food is delicious. Prices are great. Portions are healthy. What more can you ask for?” Photo via Tu Casa Restaurant website
Kathi Rolls 4205 Curry Ford Road User Michelle M. says: “You will not soon forget the experience of eating at Kathi Rolls. I took one bite of my magnificent Tandoori Vegetable Pizza and my eyes rolled to the back of my head as I exclaimed ‘wow!’ Possibly the best ‘pizza’ I have ever had in my entire life. THAT good.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
Tin & Taco multiple locations in Orlando User Matan C. says: “Phenomenal. The BOMB. Max and Cheez and the Cheezburger Eddy were fire. Must grab the chips and queso. 10/10. Was bomb. Great way to top the night off.” Photo by Rob Bartlett
Lazy Moon Pizza 1011 E. Colonial Drive User Sarv K. says: “By far the best pizza I’ve had in Orlando. The slices are huge, the equivalent of about 3 ‘normal’ slices. I went for lunch and ordered 2 slices and was stuffed. This is authentic NYC style thin crust pizza that comes out hot from the oven.” Photo via Lazy Moon on Instagram
The Neighborhood Eatery 231 N. Magnolia Ave. User Shayna M. says: “I went here just to discover new places to eat. I ordered the bibimbap and I swear to the heavens it was the best bibimbap I’ve ever tasted. I’m a huge fan of Korean food, and their bibimbap has the perfect amount of heat and flavor. I’m definitely going back!” Photo via The Neighborhood Eatery website
Lechonera El Barrio 435 N. Semoran Blvd. User Lindsey B. says: “This place is amazing! The food, customer service and price is just perfection. The food always tastes fresh, good temperature and portions. They always seem so happy to take care of you, I don’t feel rushed when ordering. Definitely a happy returning customer!” Photo via Lechonera El Barrio on Facebook
Dixie Belle’s Cafe 7125 S Orange Ave User Israel T. says: “If you’re searching for a solid, traditional breakfast spot, look no further! Dixie Belle’s has its own southern charm with the food to match. The wait time was minimal (keep an eye on their closing times … 2pm), and I got my food in a reasonable 10-15 min or so. I have no complaints and am glad to have found this gem.” Photo via website
Theo’s Kitchen 2952 Curry Ford Road User Jordan O. says: “I LOVE their fried chicken. It’s just insanely good. I don’t get why no one else can make full fried chicken that is crispy but still moist. They crush it,” while user Kent L. says: “Their real specialty is homemade Greek food. Gyros are delicious and full of crisp lettuce, tomatoes and gyro meat. Greek salads are topped with a homemade dressing that is out of this world.” Photo via Theo’s Kitchen on Facebook
P&D Soulfood Kitchen 927 S. Goldwyn Ave. User Claude R. says: “The service here is really good, but the food is even better. Macaroni had cheese, and all things seasoned differently with more than just salt. Cabbage was to perfection and green beans were excellent.” Photo via P&D Soulfood Kitchen on Facebook
Blended Bistro & Boba 2306 Edgewater Drive User Franky B. says: “The edge of glory on Edgewater, this Pan-Asian fusion eatery will fill all your needs! This is a great option for anyone wanting to sample a little bit of cuisine from various Asian countries. They have appetizers, entrees, sides, desserts, and drinks. All for a reasonable price as well. Even though they are quick service, they offer full service flavors. We sampled their banh-mi, pho, and baos which were all A+! They also have a lot of vegetarian options on their menu. For example: crispy tofu bao, and tofu banh mi. Cooked to perfection and not too heavy either.” Photo via Blended Bistro & Boba on Facebook
Ray’s Deli and More 6101 S. Orange Ave. User Nick K. says: “Everything at this place is awesome. Better chop cheese than New York. Literally everything they have is on point, great portions too.” Photo via Ray’s Deli and More on Instagram
China Tea 9924 Universal Blvd., Suite 208 User Cathy Sue says: “The best and pretty much ONLY good thing that has happened to us in this strange year 2020 was finding China Tea. We were yearning for a delicious Chinese experience, and while we were OK with other places, decided to venture out and try a new experience at China Tea. This is a family owned and operated business, and they take great pride in the fresh food they create. … Our first visit was August 2020 and we have been back two or three times a week since then.” Photo via China Tea on Facebook
