I'm a big fan of Cuban food, and this place definitely did not disappoint. I'm coming back here again. I like the casual atmosphere and coffee. Outside seating is a big plus. They sell cigars too
I'm big on customer service, this is part of my experience and I have to say 2 thumbs up for that at this place. Food was fresh and delicious. So by and grab a bite, you'll enjoy it.
This is one of my favorite restaurants in all of Orlando. We literally come here all the time. On this visit I got my customary beef empanadas and passion fruit juice. Be advised that there is sometimes a language barrier so be clear about what you want. I got my order in a timely fashion and it was delicious as usual. I would recommend this place to anyone looking for good Cuban food in Orlando.
We came here for a quick lunch as it was conveniently located inside the plaza we were in. It's a casual spot with some many people getting takeout as well as dining in. I ordered the vaca frita and my partner got the tripleta sandwich. The portions were generous and the food was very good. We also both got fruit juices to drink and next time I'm in Orlando I would come back just for the guava juice!
No matter where I am in the world, I just want a place like Cafe Pinar to be near me. But if Orlando is where I have to be to enjoy it, so be it. This is my kind of Cuban place: casual, delicious, affordable, and the kind of vibe I want in any neighborhood establishment. Located in the corner of a strip mall, Cafe Pinar is not the most obvious place for first-timers. There is plenty of parking and as I understand it is rarely busy during most days, save for the lunch hour. There's a good amount of seating for all sorts of groups and the takeout process is quite easy. I would highly recommend speaking Spanish if at all possible here and of course, come hungry. I had a number of items but there were a few that stood out. The ropa vieja is everything that it's been advertised to be, succulent and savory all throughout. The carne guisada is also quite nice with chunks of meat and potato, the pernil was wonderfully crispy and extremely abundant, thanks to a very packed box from my Chilean server, Lorena. I give big props to their maduros and the yuca was surprisingly very good. I would recommend any of their rice choices, especially the yellow rice and the mixed moros. It is without a doubt. I would come back here in a heartbeat. There is outdoor seating and so many amazing choices throughout their daily lunch line. Many of the patrons are also Cuban, which is always a good sign. They get a hard five stars.
I stopped by the restaurant this past Saturday for breakfast. I've patronized the location before but, only for lunch and dinner items. The female server and staff were friendly and accommodating as I did ask questions regarding their menu and Wi-Fi service. I eventually decided to get their combination meal which came with Two Eggs, Sausage, Ham, Bacon, Cheese, French Fries and Cuban Bread. Whew!... Just writing that sentence made me full. The meal itself was good however, the star of the show was the Cuban Bread which was thin and crunchy on the outside and nicely buttered, soft and airy on the inside. The only quibble I had was the cleanliness of the interior as there were a few booths which were not wiped down from the previous customers. They also only serve bottled water which I realized after the server provided me the bottle at my table. The restaurant charged a reasonable $1.25 for the bottle but, the restaurant should make visitors aware they do not serve tap water.
Yummy pit stop. Cafe con leche is really good. Friendly service and lots of options. The masked plantain didn't have much flavor. I was hoping for a bit of mofongo touch! But the rest was good for a quick breakfast! Lunch looked amazing as we saw them Bringing all the food out for the buffet like option. Looks like you walk by and they have it ready and you choose what you want! Would definitely do that next time. The gps took us to a gas station and we had to go farther down the street in the target parking lot. Across the street from 7-11. We were bummed there was no crema for the platanos frito but we no the Cubans don't usually have it but they should!! LOL
