This was once the go-to place for Vietnamese cuisine. That's partly because it was one of the first to introduce Central Florida to the phos and other specialties of (mostly) South Vietnam.

Newcomers who scour the menu with a fine-tooth comb may not like what they find. Quality has flagged a bit over the last few years; I do not endorse this restaurant with the enthusiasm I once did.

Very small place with big-flavored food. Be sure to have a cup of the chicken soup, and then move on to the roast pork or maybe a Cuban sandwich.... Read more

This is one of my favorite authentic Mexican restaurants in the area. Nothing fancy -- why should it be? -- just good, food.

The newest project from the Luma on Park and Prato team is meant to be "classic American"; never mind the ceviches and French onion soup. ... Read more
