“Papa Llama, 2840 Curry Ford Road, Orlando- 4-Stars Michelin Recommended- Bib Gourmand! Peruvian immigrants, Kevin and Maria Ruiz, say they founded Papa Llama in 2016 as an experimental pop up and opened the doors of this location in August 2020. In 2022, they earned the Michelin Guide's coveted "Bib Gourmand" award for establishments that serve good food at reasonable prices so naturally, I got excited. Paulina, my server, was well prepared and knowledgeable, making for an auspicious beginning in a gorgeous environment featuring good prices for dishes that could be made to satisfy both carnivores and herbivores alike. I ordered the entire family style menu which was, according to Papa Llama, "designed to be tasted together, shared, and fought over." So much food for just over a hundred dollars. The prices may have been cheap but the taste and quality of (most) victuals valieron un Perú! A hearty Big Boy Thank You (Sulpayki!) to Kevin and Maria and the culinary dactylograms of their ancestors, on this amazing cuisine (Somaq Mihuna!). The first item on the menu was Olives--whole green Castelvetrano olives marinated in house with aji panca--which were so delectable I could eat them all day. Next, the Red + Gold Beets, a minty beet salad with honey ají amarillo vinaigrette, queso fresco, and candied pistachio, which started out smooth and creamy and ended with a pleasantly piquant bite. Papas a la Huancaína followed, a fingerling potato dish with spicy aji amarillo cream, wakatay (black mint) salsa verde, and beef chicharron, topped with a fried egg. The potatoes themselves were not the star, but the combination of flavors in the sauce were amazing, unctuous but smooth. Papa Llama carries a long list of natural wines, more wines than food items, actually. That evening, I chose the Yuzu Sake, and may I say, "Holy smokes!" How refreshing after consuming so many peppers. The rest of the dishes I would give 4.5 to 5-Stars, EXCEPT for the side of frozen Sysco French fries which almost ruined an otherwise stellar meal. There are over 300 kinds of potatoes in Peru. Over 300! Perhaps in the United States we don't have the same abundance as found in El Valle Sagrado (the Sacred Valley) but, por favor, do not stoop to this! The Big Boy says, "Eat here. All the authentic Peruvian flavors at Papa Llama are 5-Star, but skip the fries, which are a corporate conglomerate frozen food disappointment."”

“food selection and quality is very good, service was outstanding, atmosphere is good but the place is small and does not lend itself to a live musician. it was hard to talk while he was playing.”

“We went her for my daughter's graduation night from UCF. It was a 10 pm reservation. The menu has excellent selection. We tried many items and all were delicious. The service was great and so was the atmosphere. It was a little cold in the restaurant, but maybe that's to keep the sushi chill. We loved it and will visit again.”

“My husband surprised me with dinner at Edo Boy for my birthday, and it ended up being one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in Orlando.

We did the Baller Set omakase, and every course felt like a work of art. The quality of the fish was exceptional some of the freshest sushi I’ve ever had and each bite was carefully crafted with flavors that were both creative and perfectly balanced.

One thing I loved was that the experience felt fun and interactive. Instead of a traditional seated omakase, we stood at the sushi counter, which made it feel more casual, social, and engaging. Watching the chefs prepare each course right in front of us added so much to the experience and gave us a chance to appreciate the skill and attention to detail behind every bite.

Some of my favorites were the Toro & Caviar, Salmon Crunch, XO Hamachi, OG Smash, and the incredible seared nigiri. The combination of bluefin tuna, uni, caviar, truffle, and other premium ingredients was absolutely amazing without ever feeling overdone. Every course had its own personality, and somehow each one seemed better than the last.

The atmosphere was intimate, energetic, and unlike anywhere else I’ve been in Orlando. My husband and I found ourselves talking about each course long after we ate it, trying to decide which was our favorite.

If you’re a sushi lover or looking for a unique spot to celebrate a special occasion, Edo Boy is absolutely worth it. Between the incredible fish, creative preparations, and interactive standing omakase experience, it was the perfect birthday dinner.”

“parking could be better, only been here twice but husband LOVES the meatball sub. I get their American sub and it is delicious! it is always packed. I wish they have another location besides just this one. The food, you just cannot go wrong no matter what you get. whether it's fresh or not. and the staff is amazing, they are all on top of everything!!!”

“Love Prato! So much fun! Great food! ❤️🍷”

“My wife and were anxiously waiting for this restaurant to open. We went this Friday (May 5th) and were not disappointed. First, the restaurant is beautifully decorated. The ambient music was at a perfect level with a definite South Beach feel. We interacted with several servers and each of them provided excellent service. The menu has enough diversity to satisfy anyone's tastes. To start, we had an appetizer that consisted of scallops covers in parmesan cheese that was melted at the table with a torch. For our entrees, I had a beef dish (Lomo Saltado), while my wife had a pork dish (Arroz chaufa with pork). Everything was delicious. They have quite a few specialty drinks in their cocktail menu. We each had a different drink and both were very tasty. We thoroughly enjoyed our dining experience at Piscos and look forward to going back.”

“Food was surprisingly flavorful!”

“We had lunch here today as our first time - what a delight! From the guacamole appetizer made fresh tableside, and onto each entree - the food was truly fabulous. Natasha wax our server and worked hard the entire time to ensure that the meal was perfect. Highly recommend!”

“Last night's visit to Hawkers was a truly exceptional experience, with every one of the five appetizers and three meals exceeding expectations. The creative drinks were an added bonus, making this a highly recommended destination for anyone seeking outstanding cuisine.”

“What a wonderful dining experience my family had at Metro Diner. The food was so amazing and the portions were very large, but what topped off our experience wonderfully was our waitress Karen. She was very pleasant personable and made us feel like we were old friends that came to visit. Karen was so helpful and attentive to our needs and she even threw in some good ol’ humor to make us laugh. Thank you again for your service and we look forward to seeing you again! Dale L.”

“Our family stopped in for some delicious Phoebe’s ice cream this evening. We had a hard time choosing as there are so many amazing flavors, so we each got doubles… Vanilla, orange dream, amaretto chip, dulce de leche, and chocolate brownie did not disappoint. The people and atmosphere are both lovely. We enjoyed sitting for a spell to enjoy our treats. 🐈 🍨 💜”

“This was by far the most impressive dining experience I’ve ever had. Fabulous food, amazing people.”

“We had an amazing time at Keg Social Orlando celebrating a birthday! We enjoyed bowling, axe throwing, and the arcade, which provided hours of fun. The venue offers something for everyone, regardless of age—our group ranged from 11 to 41 years old, and everyone had a blast. The food and drinks from the bar were fresh and delicious, and the DJ kept the party atmosphere lively. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making our experience even better. Highly recommend for a fun and memorable outing for all ages!”

“My husband introduced this place to me this past week. Let's just say every time I am in Orlando I will be stopping by. Everything I had was delicious. The service was awesome. Thanks for a great experience.”
