Reviews for CAFE PINAR in Orlando, FL
First time visiting today upon a friend's recommendation. The food was stellar and the service was excellent! The ladies behind... the counter were so helpful. I got the seasoned chicken breast, congri (rice and beans), and Pico. The congri is so flavorfuland complex. Pico is fresh and not too limey or salty, like other picos Read more
We went for breakfast and were very disappointed. The wait for 2 sandwiches was over 35 minutes, I had to actually get up and... go to the counter to get them when the location was not busy. I ordered 2 ham, egg, cheese and salad sandwiches. The ham was sothin that that I had to open the sandwich to make sure it was there. The eggs looked like they were either cooked hours earlieror iron pressed. The oatmeal that we ordered was unedible watered-down. When I paid the cashier asked that I leave the TIP ONTHE TABLE, when I wasn't even given service, Seriously? I will not be visiting this location again. Read more
We stopped here 1st to kick off our family summer vacation, upon landing in Orlando! The food here is amazing and very... authentic! The staff was so helpful and the food was prepared quickly, which is everything we needed after a long flight. Read more
I wouldn't recommend this place unless you want to get sick. My wife and I went there for lunch and we both got sandwiches that... had pork. We both got food poisoning. The pork must've been old and rancid. The customer service was good but what does thatmatter if the food can kill you? If you go there, just be careful and ask when was the food prepared. Good luck.

I am cuban and I have never had such a sad plate from a restaurant, for that excuse of a breakfast I paid $6.49. I was very... close to returning it and just asking for my money back but I was having a good day and wasn?t going to let this ruin it. To topit off I paid three dollars for a cafe con leche and after adding sugar to it I took a very small 6 AM just scorched my wholetongue and mouth, I had never tried a coffee that was so hot, it should come with a warning sign or a lease the waiter shouldlet you know that is lava hot! Very bad experience overall I would not recommend this as a breakfast spot. Read more
This place almost got 5 stars...We we're visiting family and my husband and I went for lunch, they had so many options of... traditional foods; we had the food pictured here in my review and it was AMAZING! The chicken was tender and juicy, everythingwas flavorful! The staff was very nice and efficient. I was obsessed! It was so good in fact that I went back that same day fordinner and spent over $100 to try more of the menu and bring the food home to my family. They allow anted it since I was talkingabout it all day. The food I got for dinner was nothing like the lunch food. The chicken was dry as could be and the beefoptions were extremely bland. The beef stew type dish was pretty good however. Desserts were ok. The staff was still amazing andquick, I told them I couldn't wait to write my review. That all being said, consistency is really the biggest flaw here.Restaurants have to aim for that so the experience is the same. If you go, it's a bit of a gamble which is too bad. Read more
Truly an authentic Cuban restaurant. The Cuban Sandwich was delicious, as were the empanadas, roast chicken, etc. The prices... were very affordable, too. Make sure you get an iced cafe mocha! I will certainly return here. Generous portions. Read more
On vacation with my family, we wanted some good Cuban food. We googled local places and tried Cafe Pinar out. We were greeted... with a warm welcome. Nothing fancy, but these are the best places! The food was amazing. Tasted like we were eating our ownfamily?s traditional Cuban food cooking! We had a great experience. Read more
