Piñones En Orlando — Restaurant in Orlando

Very disappointed by yesterday's meal, Thursday July 23 at around 1:30 pm. There was no customers, so we thought we had a better chance that the food would be delicious. Unfortunately this was not the case. We have been on several occasions before and the quality of the food has not been consistent but today it has been the worst. We ordered several dishes including two fried meat dishes and 3 Caribbean dishes. The fish didn't taste fresh, it was so tough that you couldn't eat them with the plastic fork (that was the worst). They also talked about the difference in pieces of the aluminum foil and they did not finish wrapping the plates (not only that they're were flies nearby) and when I asked if they could wrap it faster because it started to rain heavily (and in Florida when it rain it's accompanied by lightning) In addition, not only were we getting wet, the employee who was attending us asked her colleague in a sarcastic manner to help her because I did not want to get wet. I don't like being rude but I confess I had to breathe deeply not to be. The gentleman was kind and explained us that he was missing lettuce and that is why he gave us passion fruit juice. In the end it’s all about the quality of the food and the service. That’s why we won’t come back again. The fish and the employee's comment were atrocious 👎 Muy decepcionada por la comida de ayer, jueves 23 de julio alrededor de la 1:30 p.m. No había clientes, así que pensamos que teníamos una mejor oportunidad de que la comida fuera deliciosa. Lamentablemente este no fue el caso. Hemos estado en varias ocasiones antes y la calidad de la comida no ha sido consistente, pero hoy ha sido la peor. Pedimos varios platos, incluyendo dos platos de carne frita y 3 platos caribeños. El pescado no sabía fresco, era tan duro que no se podía comer con el tenedor de plástico (eso fue lo peor). También perdieron tiempo hablando sobre la diferencia en los pedazos del papel de aluminio y no terminaban de envolver los platos y cuando les pregunté si podían envolverlo más rápido porque no sólo habían moscas cercas si no también comenzó a llover fuertemente (y en Florida cuando llueve usualmente va acompañado de relámpagos). Además, no solo nos estábamos mojando, la empleada que nos atendió le pidió a su colega de manera sarcástica que la ayudara porque yo no quería mojarme. No me gusta ser grosera, pero confieso que tuve que respirar profundamente para no serlo. El caballero fue amable y nos explicó que le faltaba lechuga y por eso nos dio jugo de parcha. Al final, todo se trata de la calidad de la comida y el servicio. Por eso no volveremos de nuevo. Por esos precios caros y la calidad del pescado y el comentario de la empleada...

I came for the first time on a Saturday afternoon. I drove quite a while to get here. When I got here at 12 they weren't open , I waited another 15 min and still nothing. I got a bit annoyed and left to the gas station and to a store . I decided to go to another Puertorican spot ( which there's plenty in the area) before I tried to check on them again. Arrived at 12:45 ish and they were open. I asked and they said they opened later because of the rain. Is a small restaurant with a bright color and good music.

I order a alcapurria, a conch empanadilla, a octopus cup and a mofongo with fried pork. To drink we took a piña colada (virgin).

I must say the food was the saving grace of my rating. This was absolutely one of the BEST Puertorican food I've had in the area. The alcapurria was big and full of meat. The conch empanadilla was fresh and flavorful . The octopus salad was the best I've had in YEARS! Big chunks of octopus, super tender and barely no onions and peppers. The mofongo was soft and not dry, did not need any caldo or sauce. The fried pork had a nice mix of fatty parts , not dry onda super seasoned.

I absolutely loved the flavor of everything and I would highly...
