“This is our second time coming!!! For this restaurant being a hole in the wall, you do not expect to have an amazing service, amazing food that every taste is filled with such a delight!!! Personally, the lamb chops. Once you put them in your mouth they fall apart so beautifully and not a lot of places can make lamb chops that taste and are amazing. I would highly recommend everybody to come here.”

“We ordered the Parrillada de la Casa, and it was delicious and huge (perfect for two people in my opinion). The atmosphere was cozy, and the music made the experience even more enjoyable. I felt really comfortable throughout the meal!”

“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."”

“The food is great but because they have so many dishes that most people are not familiar with and have Japanese names, the restaurant should have the wait staff explain the menu or at least ask if the customer would like a run though of the menu. The staff were very nice if maybe a little inexperienced and did explain some of the more obscure dishes when asked. The only reason I gave the atmosphere 4 rather than 5 stars is for how dark the place is. I could not read the small print on the menu without my phone flashlight. Otherwise, the atmosphere is relaxed but upscale with a modern, clean aesthetic.”

“We came from visiting Disney Springs, wanted a really yummy Bloody Mary. Googled this place, drive was 28 minutes. The restaurant is in the middle of a neighborhood which is unique. Parking is on the street. We were even lucky to get two seats at the bar. The host told us 1.5 hour wait, it was Sunday about 11:30am. Being from out of town, that would have really sucked if we didn't get to sit and eat. The Bloody Mary was delicious. The crab cakes were the best I've had in a long time. Not super greasy, light and a bit of a crunch inside with the crab meat. Maybe onion, not sure. Loved the smoked salmon and avocado pita bites. The fried green tomatoes were alright. I didn't like the kale salad. The Chicken and palmento cheese sandwich was disappointing....the chicken was over cooked like the bacon, but we just added extra cheese to help eat it. I would come here again just for the drinks, and try something else if we are in Orlando again. Both bar tenders were very friendly and helpful. I would make reservations if you plan on coming.”

“The best Italian restaurant in central Florida!”

“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!”

“Love! Best truly Mexican food in a long while!”

“Go weekly for happy hour and love it!”

“Great spot! Fabulous food I try octopus wherever I can find it on the menu and I've not had any as good. Exceptional service at the bar with Justin. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“Delicious Asian food served in casual atmosphere. Service was friendly.”

“Delicious sushi! I got the baller set which was very good and nice to try once, but I’ll probably just order from the regular menu in the future.

It is standing room only and doesn’t feel crowded tho the place is quite small.

The only thing I really didn’t care for was the 1 hour slot, I feel like it could be 1.5 hours and that might be better because it felt a bit rushed at the end when getting the last pieces, soup, and s’mores. I felt like I had to scarf my s’mores down quickly to get out on time.

Overall, the place is great and I would come back again in the future!!”

“I was recently in this place and I attended Laura Londono. Thank you Laura for such a professional and pleasant service. The restaurant from feeling proud to have someone like you. [Original] estuve hace poco en este lugar y me atendio Laura Londono .Gracias laura por tan profesional y agradable servicio .El restaurante dede sentirse orgulloso de tener alguien como tu .”

“Hands down our favorite South Asian restaurant in Orlando. Everything about this place is perfection. Every. Single. Thing.”

“We love coming here to eat. Food is excellent”

“We had the most amazing dining experience for our anniversary!!! Some of the best food in the Orlando area!”

“My husband found this gem online and figured we’d enjoy it since we are fans of shareable and tapas style dishes. Brendan (sp?) was our server. He was kind and attentive. The food options were healthy, fun, and creative. I especially enjoyed the dumplings and my husband devoured his mochi Wangz. We also tried Mr. Rice Guy which didn’t quite give the oomph we were looking forward to. Drunken Belly was pretty decent (a few pieces were a tad too fatty to fully enjoy). We’d 100% go back for the atmosphere and aesthetics alone. Service was phenomenal and the vibes were super chill.”

“It was nice my first time with the family there food was great the only thing rice was a little hard”

“Amazing is the only one word that comes to our minds. The restaurant itself is very modern looking but has that touch of Thai to make us feel at home. And the star of the show besides the great cooks was Pen! She was so awesome and sensor from her greeting at the door to her interactions with my two daughters. Who just thought she was so nice and Awesome. The appearance of the food was amazing when it arrived at our table and the taste was even more amazing. So to Pen and the rest of the awesome staff we wish you guys great success and we WILL see you again next time we’re here thanks:)”

“This place was stunning, the food was beyond amazing. The service was impeccable, they explained every dish, where it was sourced and they mindfulness behind the preparation. This is a wonderful experience in Orlando, 10/10 recommended.”
