El Cilantrillo Restaurant 2500 South Semoran Boulevard, Orlando, FL 32822

"There are not many things left on earth that are better than Caribbean cuisine. Especially when it's as fantastic as Cilantrillo. From the large portions, to the extensive variety, there is little chance you won't find an item that won't keep you coming back for more. I 100% recommend a garlic Mofongo. If you're into sweet and savory, explore a mixture with their sweet plantain. Meals are incredibly hard to finish despite the heavenly flavours. So prices are amazing taking into consideration that each meal can feed multiple people. Staff here are attentive and helpful. Food comes out fairly quickly and is always hot and fresh. Great place for a date night and/or a family dinner."

"I had the pleasure of enjoying dinner & a football game here on Sunday, 12-17-23. The good reviews helped me decide to stop by. I ordered the fried cheese as an appetizer; it came with a guava sauce that the cheese didn't need, but it took the taste to another level. I also ordered the shrimp stew, expecting it to be a small bowl of soup. Marnie was my server and warned me that the stew was big. She did not lie at all. The shrimp stew was delicious, flavorful, and filling. There had to be 10 full size shrimp in the bowl. I really wanted to try the flan but I was so full, I couldn't. As I made a dent in my stew, I asked Marnie for a drink menu. The tropical sangria caught my eye, but I went with Marnie's suggestion of the red house sangria. It was so good! Quite strong for wine, but in the best way. They had plenty of screens for both football and basketball games. I noticed a lot of toys and some bikes near the Christmas tree by my table. I'm assuming that they're giving the gifts away. I love those who give back to their community. There were a few parties celebrating birthdays, and I enjoyed the staff's singing and drum playing. I stopped by having a long layover before my next flight. Marnie would check on me without hovering. Also, a server was nice enough to let me charge my phone for a few minutes before I left. Would definitely return the next time I'm in Orlando."

"The delicious food and the beautiful presentation will delight everyone. You can order individually or request one of the monster-sized meals that will feed a party of four. They do a great job preparing the food and provide a lot of options for all tastes."

"Visited this location by mistake and compared to other Cilantrillo Restaurants, it lacked a few details. Parking was horrible. The wait was extremely long but we were a large group, so I understood wait. Live band was ok, seen better at their other locations. The food was good but could have been better. My husband was not able to enjoy his dish as it was undercooked. It caused him to have to walk out to puke. Bacon on yuca was undercooked and when I addressed the waiter, she replied they were understaffed. Majority of friends and family enjoyed the food, however service lacked as a few dishes were missed and/or received cold. Expectation was to receive hot properly cooked food. The natural juices were watered down, I have had better. Don't think I would come back to this particular location. I highly recommend the other Cilantrillo locations."
