If you want a taste of some of the countries that our president seems not to care for very much, here are some of the restaurants serving those cuisines in the Orlando area. Don't worry, we're sure everything you try will be better than a well-done steak with ketchup.

Mi Tierra Pupusería & Bakery

808 E. Vine St., Kissimmee, 407-201-8478

Fritan’go Food Truck

Mobile, 863-804-5424
You might find them in Lakeland, Tampa, Orlando or anywhere in between. That being said, tracking them down for Nicaraguan classics like tostones or cerdo asada is worth it.

Harambe Market

2901 Osceola Parkway, 407-939-5277
Located inside Animal Kingdom, this African-inspired theme park food is quick and might just offer the pick-me-up you require to make it through the rest of the day at the park, with spiced ribs or curried sausage.

Casa Lupita Restaurant
