The food is delicious. Authentic Ecuadorian food. We always come here and is always good service and excellent food. Eimmy is always very attentive. I had La Bandera it was wonderful. And la empanada de viento is hugeeee … We were expecting a regular size empanada. 100% recommendation for this Ecuadorian spot.

Was in the area with family and decided to try Café Pintón EC — SO glad we did! The food was amazing and truly authentic. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and tasted homemade. The staff was super welcoming and made the experience even better.
Definitely a must-try if you’re in Orlando!

The place is cozy and clean, the service is good, and the food is delicious Ecuadorian cuisine . They have homemade food. At lunchtime, they offer a menu that includes soup, a main dish, and a drink for $16. Every time I’m working nearby, I go there to eat. Highly recommended!

I’m from Ecuador and I was disappointed that the dishes weren’t the quality that I expected for the price we paid! Not sure if the cook was from Ecuador because the servers were from Colombia (even though we share similarities in our food is not the same). I have the ‘Seco de pollo’ and was okay, although is called seco it usually have a little more sauce. My husband had the “Shrimp ceviche” and didn’t come close in flavor, very bland. The rest of my family had ‘Moros con pollo’ and the price is not even in the Menu, so I don’t even know how much they charged me! The ‘patacones’ o ‘tostones’ were oversized and dry.-:( I won’t recommend this place if you want a real Ecuadorian food!

Our friends were visiting from Georgia, and they were in the mood for Ecuadorian food. I started following Café Pinton about a year ago and told myself, “Let’s give it a try.” The food was incredibly good. If you’re looking for authentic Ecuadorian food, look no further—Café Pinton is where it’s at!!

Food was amazing. The bolon is the best I have had. The chivo was tasty and soft.

I truly love the food here. It’s flavorful and authentic, which is why I kept coming back. Unfortunately, after a few visits, I started to feel that customers are being charged for things that are generally expected at an Ecuadorian restaurant, on top of prices that are already a bit high.
For example, I ordered an encebollado and was charged when I asked for extra lime. I didn’t ask for two limes, just a little extra. As a customer, I feel this should be part of the basic expectation, especially considering that some customers don’t request lime at all, yet the price of the dish doesn’t change.
This last experience really disappointed me. I called ahead to order and asked how long the food would take because I was in a rush. I was told it would be “quick,” so I placed the order. When I arrived, I was told it would still take 15 minutes. When I asked why, the response I received was, “This is quick for us. If you want something faster, you should go to a fast food restaurant.”
I tried to offer feedback that could help in the future by suggesting that instead of saying “quick,” it might be better to give an estimated time, since “quick” can mean different things to different people. Unfortunately, this wasn’t well received.
Because of these experiences, I don’t think I’ll be bringing my business back. That said, the food itself is truly delicious.

The food was good had, with a typical Ecuadorian taste. Place is nice and welcoming.
The biggest problem was the time waiting for the food. We ordered 2 encebollado mixto, 1 bandera y dishes of chivo. The waitress didn’t apologize for the delayed in our food. There were other customer who arrived later than us and there were served before us.

I was there for breakfast for which, it was a bit pricey, but probably on par for the area. The coffee tasted burnt and had a bite to it. The breakfast sandwich was delicious. The green sauce was a bit too salty for my taste. The real star was the plantain ground beef empanada but it was frozen in the middle. They quickly gave me a replacement. It had a delicious cumin flavor. The server was very attentive and sweet.
