Rice And Beans Cocina Latina - Orlando

The food was great with previous management. I stopped there today, and the place was completely gone. Was such a good convenient spot, too. Sad unless they moved!

If you want to eat good Puerto Rican food, with authentic flavor, you are in the right place. The restaurant is very nice and they serve with excellence.

Rice Beans Cocina I had the chance to dine at Rice Beans Cocina Latina before it transformed into Tradicion Latina. The restaurant had its charm, and the name itself evoked images of flavorful Latin American cuisine. However, my recent visit left me with mixed feelings.The Good:Friendly Staff: The person attending to us was warm and welcoming. Their friendly demeanor added a positive touch to the dining experience.Cuban Classics: Rice Beans Cocina Latina used to serve classic Latin dishes like arroz con pollo, tostones, and empanadas. These were generally well-prepared and satisfying.The Not-So-Good:Dry Food: Unfortunately, the food often appeared dry. Whether it was the rice or the meats, there was a lack of moisture that affected the overall taste.Salty Pulled Pork: The pulled pork, a staple in many Latin dishes, was on the salty side. It left me reaching for my water glass more than I’d like.Lack of Spark: The restaurant seemed to have lost its spark. Perhaps it was the transition to Tradicion Latina, but the vibrancy and excitement were missing.Concerns:High Salt Content: You’re right; many Hispanic dishes tend to be salty. While this adds flavor, it can indeed contribute to high blood pressure. Moderation is key.Diminished Foot Traffic: On a Friday night, the place felt eerily quiet. The unlit sign outside didn’t help matters. I worry that the new owners might struggle to revive the restaurant’s former glory.In summary, looking for a wonderful experience, Tradicion Latina came a bit short. If they can strike the right balance between flavor and ambiance, they might just win over the neighborhood .

Unbelievable food and the staff is always extremely kind and helpful!!

As someone who has never been here before, my experience here was awesome. From the moment I walked in the staff was warm and welcoming with smiles. I’m not familiar with this type of cuisine, so I needed a little help. Staff went above and beyond to help me order the perfect meal. I tried the mofongo and pork belly and it’s to die for. The chef came out to speak with a costumer and he was also super friendly and welcoming. Overall excellent experience. Thank you for being so welcoming to newbs : I wish I lived closer, so when I’m traveling through again I’ll definitely be back.
