Tacos and Latin Plates Across Orlando This Week

For a first look at where to eat in Orlando, I would begin at Taqueria Mi Bendicion with tacos, then compare the red and green chilaquiles on the menu. The choice is one plate before a second order, rather than a table crowded all at once. Ask which chilaquiles suit your group and check the seating before bringing a stroller.

A bakery day suits the person who wants to inspect the choices before committing. At Venezuela bakery, I would pick an empanada first and keep an arepa for sharing. This pause follows Monday's tacos with another take on a handheld meal; the pastry case is the second decision. Ask what is available that day instead of assuming a particular bake remains.

Midweek, I would give Aji Pique its own stop rather than squeeze it between larger meals. Its Colombian specialties make a useful change of pace after the bakery, especially for a group deciding what to share. Choose one regional plate to start and ask the staff to explain the day's options. I would check the entrance and seating before arriving with a stroller.

Chabuca - Lee Vista shifts the week toward Peruvian cooking, with ceviche and lomo saltado to compare. I would start with the ceviche and split the lomo saltado if the table wants both. For a food-scene hunter, two distinct plates make the conversation rather than a race to the next stop. Check the current menu and opening hours before setting out, particularly with a little one.

Matt's Latin BBQ and Made In PR sit on South Semoran Boulevard, making a short walk between them an option to check on arrival. I would start with Matt's rotisserie chicken, then compare Made In PR's trifongo. For a group, split rather than double up on hearty plates. Confirm both kitchens' current hours and a safe walking route before committing to the pair.

By Saturday, El Potro Mexican Restaurant brings the route back to Mexican cooking. Its fajitas and combination plates make this my pick for a table that wants to compare orders, not rush through a long list. I would share a combination plate first and ask about portions before adding more. Its family-friendly setting is a useful starting point, though I would still check stroller space.

Finish with Dominican cooking at Sazoncito Latin Food, where chimis and mofongo offer a different ending from Monday's tacos. I would choose the chimi first and discuss splitting mofongo if everyone still has room. The practical move is checking the menu before ordering extras; skip a second main if one is enough. This closes the Orlando food spots itinerary with a deliberate choice rather than a race.
