Panchos Spanish Bakery & Deli

I have been to this restaurant on many occasions and I've never been disappointed. The food has always been outstanding, the portions HUGE and the character and ambiance is TOTALLY CUBAN. You are treated as a member of the family. The prices are reasonable. And, if you ever want to taste the best pastries in Orlando...splurge and have a pastelito de guayaba. ENJOY!

This place goes by "Pancho's Spanish Bakery & Deli," but the sign outside says "Cafe Caobana." I randomly went here for breakfast with a buddy the other day and I loved the experience. From the moment I walked in, the decor, ambiance, and people felt like an authentic Cuban place you'd find in Miami - and it was definitely a lot nicer than I expected it to be. The front side is a bakery with take-out and the back is a sit-down restaurant. We sat down and were immediately greeted by a super-friendly waitress. She seemed to get a kick out of our attempts to use our broken high-school-level Spanish, haha! I ordered a cortadito (Cuban coffee) and the Havana (eggs, bacon, cheese on cuban bread - basically, a breakfast cuban). Both were brought out quickly and with a smile. I really enjoyed my sandwich and coffee. More than that, I had a great time conversing with our waitress about anything and everything. This place was clean, the food was good, and the service was fantastic. I look forward to coming back again to try to lunch/dinner as well as the desserts (I may bump my review to 5 stars after that)! Definitely give this place a try!
