“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."“

“Came during lunch and waited about 10 minutes to order and got the PB&J cone, but got the food very quick after ordering. The PB&J was dynamite in flavor, from the pork to the everything seasoned cone, it was excellent. However, what keeps this from a five star review is the bread to toppings ratio. The filling of the cone, at least with ours, was lacking as the cone was at least 60% bread. If they scooped about 15% more of the bread out and added more of the pork and Mac and cheese it would be a slam dunk. Worth trying but expect to grab more food after if you bring a heavy appetite.“

“Always have a great experience coming to Gravity Taproom. First time I came was thanks to the OFFLINE app. Employees are so kind and fast service. Have brought friends here and they always leave happy and always get positive feedback. Must try: cheesy dough poppers and trial wings with chili sauce“

“Excellent concept! Great food trucks!“

“The Filipino food was authentic and reasonably priced. Friendly customer service. Suited for all ages. Very clean restrooms.“

“The Chefs Dinner menu in December was exquisite!“

“Alejandro was amazing and so helpful and friendly ! The food is soooo good. We had the birra tacos, shrimp torta, and quesadillas and everything was delicious. Not to mention the street corn. The restaurant is clean and staff is so kind. We will certainly be back !“

“This place is awesome Great service I had the Birria tacos are fire 🔥 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Awesome pizza! I love the Detroit style pizza.“

“The food and drinks are fantastic, and the atmosphere is even better! You immediately feel a sense of community and a warm welcome the moment you arrive. With a wide selection of drinks (both alcoholic and non) and amazing food — especially the chicken nachos and cheese curds — this place is a must. The owners and staff are wonderful, and it’s definitely worth a visit whether you’re local or visiting the amusement parks.“

“Awesome place good selection! and friendly staff!“

“A great atmosphere. The food was excellent and more than enough for me. Our waitress was wonderful, going above and beyond helping me get and set up their app. She was attentive and saw that our needs were met. We will definitely be visiting them again!“

“This is an awesome place to go! We were within walking distance from our hotel and needed to get some food and drinks… this was the PERFECT choice!“

“My favorite restaurant in town! Excellent service and food.“

“Best spot in town. All local, all love. All of the time.“

“If you're looking for that perfect low-key, no-fuss Friday night spot, The Toper Taproom & Ziggie’s Pizza is it. This cozy little dive bar hits the sweet spot between relaxed and lively — think eclectic beer list, boutique wines, and a crowd that feels more like neighbors than strangers.

The pizza? Surprisingly good — crispy, cheesy, and perfect with whatever cold drink you’re sipping. There’s a rotating selection of beers (local faves and offbeat finds) that’ll please both hop heads and casual sippers. Add in some nice wine options and you’ve got choices for everyone.

The outdoor seating is a major plus too — perfect for late-night convos and people-watching. This place has real character. Whether you're catching up with an old friend or making new ones at the bar, it’s got that kind of vibe you wish more places had. Definitely a go-to chill nook in the neighborhood.“

“Awesome food great beers and awesome staff...meaning bar tender“

“Best in the area for craft beer. Hard to choose a beer when all the choices are 🔥“

“Our bartender Adrianna was amazing! She’s the absolute best! 😁 Food and drinks were super!“

“Was great fun! Recommend completely.“

“The atmosphere was gorgeous. They also have an outdoor patio area. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, explaining the setup and how it works to order what is right for you. And the food... was not what I imagined at all. It was AMAZING! And beautifully arranged. Every veggie and seafood item was very fresh! I give 5 of 5 stars. I had tempura shrimp, crab salad, extra tempura shrimp, red cabbage, carrots, scallions, and eel sauce. The bowls are $16 a piece, but good size portions. Will definitely go back 100%. I wish I had taken photos before I devoured it. Lol Thank you guys!“

“First time in here was sitting at the bar and the bartender came within 30 seconds of asking me what I would like. Very elegant place even though it’s a hole in the wall it’s very nice if you come down to Florida, you have to visit this place.“

“The burgers are incredible and the staff are super friendly. Tiffany was awesome. Definitely a good place to stop!“

“What a hidden gem! Great service and even better food. The owner has a heart of gold which explains why this has been in business so long!“

“Ate the food too fast to even get a picture !!! Sorry y’all but it was smelling too good to not dive in 😆“

“quesadilla off tha chizain“

“Loved this place! There was no line and no wait. We just walked right up, ordered our beer, paid, and got our drinks. That easy! There were quite a few picnic tables nearby, all of which were pretty empty. The American pavilion was the best pavilion (as far as lines) that we'd seen all day. So we stopped and sat by the picnic tables. There were another set of picnic tables that we moved to when it started to rain a little more.“

“I loved our experience at Grande Lakes except for one thing. The pool! One day I was looking down at the pool and notice something off about the main pool. The big pool in the middle was greenish/brown! I called down to the desk and the said they would check it out. At that point my kids had already been in it. I was supposed annoyed. I also called the recreation department. I still have not heard a response to what it was that was wrong with the pool?“

“Phenomenal drinks at Bar Moonshine! We got the sherbet lemon and lobe blaster. The lobe blaster is easily the best drink we had at epic across several days. It is pretty strong so you should be responsible in how many you get. The sherbet lemon was a solid drink, though the lavender was surprisingly strong and as someone indifferent about lavender it was a bit overwhelming - but that’s on me for ordering that drink as it is clear in the description that that’s the case. Service was speedy but they still made sure every question was answered while staying in character. We will definitely be back for a lobe blaster on our next visit to Epic.“

“Thank you for an amazing lunch! This menu, their food, along with excellent service, is an experience I highly recommend! When I get back to Orlando, I would love to dine with you again!“

“We ordered a gluten free sandwich with turkey, Gouda cheese and thinly sliced apples. It came with fries- sadly that weren’t fresh but the sandwich was so good and enough to share! Glad they didn’t charge extra for my gluten free. We were full the rest of the day just from splitting that!“

“We had an amazing dinner. The Jalapeño Queso with homemade potato chips is to die for!!! My husband had the Fish Tacos and I had the Burger for our dinner. Both were served with skinny shoestring fries, our favorite type of fry😊 Once again, our food was delicious and the presentation was great as well. Our server, Svet was attentive, kind and funny. He added to our enjoyable experience. We will be back for sure!!“

“very good food and a clean place“
