De Guzman Oriental Food Mart — Local services in Alafaya

Would not eat the hot food section, but their catering is decent. This place has been here for years and my family had been going here since the early 2000’s.

The only reason I’m giving 3 stars is because their catering is decent, because they have to make it fresh per order. It is better than other Filipino restaurants in East Orlando. We usually order pancit and lumpia and they come out good.

Their daily hot food selection: The quality of the food is so inconsistent! I’m happy they even have a hot food section with different dishes to pick from, but I wish the variety and consistency of taste was better. Lately the food tastes almost like it was precooked and reheated in the microwave. It might just depend on who is cooking the food that day, but we want to taste the best that Philippine food has to offer so I hope they can improve on this.

I wouldn’t go here for the hot food unless you really have to or don’t want to cook. I prefer Kabayan Grill close to Kissimmee. It’s worth the drive. But if you need catering in East Orlando, they get...

I ordered and paid for the large size but when I got home and opened it, there was barely any meat just filled with sauce to the top. I was aggravated that the man I talked to over the phone who packed them up made a fool out of me but the drive back in the heat of Florida wasn't worth it. Never phoned an order in advance since. Just pay attention to hot food you're paying for getting packed up in...

Made a catering order a week earlier. No calls about any issues today so went to pick up the order and was told oops, they ran out. And with no empathy, rudely was given a half bag of frozen lumpia (in a zip lock, frost biten with no label. Indicating they don't track expiration dates) and no hot options. Like me coming to pick up my order non existing order was a hindrance ti them. And only hours before the SUPER BOWL we no longer have our catering order and have to scramble to figure out something else. I was at first happy to finally find a Filipino spot close by. I will never step foot around this...
