This was a wonderful experience and the dancing- which I enjoyed most- and singing with musical talents was fantastic! We had a great meal and fantastic experience! We will return!

We went with a party of 8 and were looking forward to a great meal and drinks and it was just ok. Service was very good but the food was way too salty, greasy and overpriced. Their signature dishes - the ropa vieja and pork bites with mashed yuca were way too salty and just average. Music was way too loud for 5 in the evening with only about 5 tables taken. Not sure we will return again - a real shame because my entire party saw some really good reviews and expected much more.

Great food, ambiance,service. Engaging entertainment. Drinks taste like they do have alcohol. Parking on a Saturday night during holidays was very difficult but at least free.

We visited Estefan's Kitchen last night and had mixed feelings. When you walk in, the vibe is immediately nice—beautiful space, lively atmosphere, and clearly designed for music and energy. We had a 6:30 PM reservation and were seated within about 10 minutes. The restaurant wasn't busy at all, with plenty of open tables. Unfortunately, our initial seating was disappointing. We were brought all the way to the far right in a separate room where you couldn't even see the stage. To make it worse, we were seated directly next to a large, loud Christmas party at a long table along the back wall. I politely questioned the hostess—given all the open, better seats—and to her credit, she came back about five minutes later and moved us to a front-row booth right by the stage, which completely changed the experience for the better. At 7:00 PM, the live band started playing and they were excellent—great energy, fun, engaging, and really brought the place to life. The music and atmosphere were easily the highlight of the night. Food, however, was where things fell short. We started with the appetizer platter ($35), which was very underwhelming for the price: three empanadas, four pork bites, four fried round items, and some plantain chips. The two sauces were basic—one mayonnaise and one barbecue—and the flavors overall were mediocre. Definitely not worth the price. For dinner, I ordered the $45 steak with rice signature dish with rice and beans. When it arrived, the presentation was surprisingly bare: just a piece of steak on the plate with a tiny amount of chimichurri. The rice and beans came in a separate bowl. Unfortunately, the steak was cold, the white rice was bland and cold (honestly something I could've made better at home), and the beans weren't even hot. I sent it back. I ended up ordering the pork fried rice instead—the same dish the rest of my family ordered—which arrived about 10 minutes later. It was fine, but nothing memorable. Food could be much better!
I took my office staff to celebrate our Christmas dinner and we had an amazing time. The food was great and the service was excellent. I highly recommend it, if you're looking to have a great time this is the place.

Estefan Kitchen in Orlando is a vibrant spot blending authentic Cuban flavors with an energetic atmosphere. The service was impeccable—friendly and efficient staff ensured a seamless experience. Their drinks are a highlight, with inventive cocktails that perfectly match the lively vibe, fueled by live Latin music and colorful decor. A fantastic choice for a fun evening out!

It was almost empty and service was a nightmare! The price is not worth the food you get. We celebrated a birthday and they provided HALF a strawberry as the cake with the candle. Bongos was way better what a shame
Lourdes
There is live music. May bother little ears. Beautiful restaurant. Great cuisine. Great atmosphere. Love it!
