Willie's Pinchos

The Carne Frita with Rice & Beans is the Real Thing. Delicious, tender, not too fatty but still very juicy. The Mofongo with Garlic shrimp was also delicious. We ordered there for take out and waited only about 12 minutes. Very friendly front counter young guy. It’s a drive for us but we will be back for that Carne Frita. Yum!

Detoured here on my recent trip to Cape Canaveral and it was definitely worth it! I ordered the Carne Frita which is fried pork chunks with onions and peppers, served with mofongo, garlic bread, mayo ketchup sauce, cilantro sauce and lettuce, tomato, onion and cilantro. I really enjoyed this dish. It was so fresh and filling. The pork had a lot of fatty pieces so I ended up spitting out about a third of it. Some people like the fatty parts of the meat however, I do not. It was good but I'd try something different next time. The star of the show on this dish is definitely the mofongo. The freshness and homemade qualities are evident. I could have ate tons more of this! It was garlicy with a nice texture and not dry. I also tried the Pinchos de Camaron. The 3 pretty good sized shrimp were cooked well and had a great flavor. This too, was served with garlic bread. The cherry on top was the Piña Colada. It was made to order and just bursting with tropical flavor. It was nice, cold and refreshing. A great way to acclimate to the Florida humidity, just after landing! Service was great and food came out quickly. I haven't had a lot of Puerto Rican food but this has been my favorite so far. Thank you Willie's, I hope to return one day.

Mealz and DEALZ Review 👊🏼😋👊🏼 This place is a very well known restaurant for being featured on Guy’s Food Network Show DINERS DRIVE-INS DIVES 🙌🏼 So I knew I had to check this place out and give it my review on smell and taste. I’m originally from New York City and Being from the Boogy Down Bronx I’ve had some great Pinchos before. 1st The Smell Test 👉🏼 Right when you get to the parking lot you smell that aroma of A Very Latino Grandmother Just Cooking it up and it draws you right in. Once you get in it brings right to that island feel and it’s spot on. You get the feeling you around family and that’s how flavors are made lol. I had the Chicken Pincho as well as the Pork One and all I can say is OMG So Much juices from the meat and then the garlic toast to finish it all up 🤤. I now understand why Guy had to do a show there. I hope you enjoy this Latin Puerto Rican Cuisine. Mealz and Dealz Approved

I was in Orlando for the weekend and had this saved as a DDD place I wanted to visit so my husband and I called and ordered to go . When I got there it seemed they had lost my order so I had to wait for it to be made but I must admit it was worth the wait . I had the steak and pastrami plantain sandwich and it was good to the last bite . If I’m on that side of town again I would go back for sure .

4.5 Finally made a visit after bookmarking this spot a year ago. I think my expectations were a tad too high but I am definitely not complaining. Food was very good, just didn't have the flavor explosion I was expecting. Service was great and the staff were all wearing mask. The tables were spaced out. Will go back and try the other menu items next time I'm in the area.
