Restaurant Review: Manzano's Deli and Tin & Taco

Restaurant Review: Manzano’s Deli and Tin & Taco

I am slowly but surely getting back into my food tour and restaurant reviews. I really missed doing these! Today you get two for one because I went into both restaurants as they are side by side on the street so I got food from both places. Initially, I was going to what is showing on Uber eats as ‘Mel’s Melts’ but when I got to the destination on my GPS it was Manzano’s. My first impression of…

Restaurant Review: Bar Louie

Restaurant Review: Bar Louie

As far as the food is concerned, Bar Louie is underrated for menu option. I fully expected this place to be like any typical American style restaurant. I was pleasantly surprised at the purely culinary inspired options. I went there for Brunch and ended up ordering a few entrees in order to sample around the menu. I will definitely be back to continue sampling. I first ordered the Southern…

Vegan Treats

I always try to indulge in vegan cuisine. Right now being Vegan is all the rage! Its the trend and the biggest health trend since 2018. I try to get into vegan food. I like some things and I’ve come to the conclusion that I could possibly be vegetarian some day but I could never be vegan. And yes kids, there is a difference! Below is a vegan quesadilla with vegan cheese, black beans, corn and…

This is not going to be like my typical reviews of restaurants. At one point, I thoroughly enjoyed this place. It was my favorite brunch spot. Unit recently…

My favorite thing to eat at this restaurant is the queso fundido with tortillas and I love to wash them down with a mimosa! As per usual, I ordered the fundido with a orange mimosa and I was going to give their french toast a try.

Restaurant Review: Luke's Restaurant

Restaurant Review: Luke’s Restaurant

    This restaurant is located in Orlando, FL and is actually owned by the same Chef who owns the Prato restaurant I reviewed as well. For that review please visit the link below:

Restaurant Review: Prato

Luke’s has the same upscale and elegant vibe as its co restaurant. The menu had limited items on there so I can deduce that the menu changes often based on ingredients and in my opinion that…

Restaurant Review: Se7en Bites

Restaurant Review: Se7en Bites

Se7en Bites is an unexpectedly refreshing concept to the restaurant business. You walk in and walk up to a counter where you place your order and grab a number and then find a seat amongst the large picnic style tables. You’re basically sitting and dining with strangers! If you’re introverted it might be a little offputting but if you’re outgoing you’re bound to make new friends!!

Restaurant Review: Pom Poms Tea House

Restaurant Review: Pom Poms Tea House

One of my most favorite places to visit here in Orlando is this quaint little place called Pom Poms. Its really lowkey and kind of tucked away so if you don’t know anyone who frequents there, or who patronize the clubs and other places around it, then you probably have never heard of this place.

  They’re really known for their tea and sandwiches and every week they have a new dish and tea that’s…
