“Very nice place. Good food and great service. A god price and was quick. Clean with a good selection. The salad was great as well as the arepa.”
— rustminer48“In the middle of all the crazy and bougie spots in Downtown Orlando, Mecatos stands out as a humble gem serving one of the best breakfasts around. Their sandwiches are fresh, full of flavor, and perfectly balanced — and the coffee? Smooth, rich, and made with care. A cozy, unpretentious place that instantly feels like home. Highly recommended for a calm start to your day.”
— Moe“I had a lot of time before I begin my shift and this was the closest place that was open! Absolutely love how they made my tea with steam milk and if you ever get the chance, you have gotta try those Leche filled pastries… I also got myself a stuffed Arepa… the breakfast one and they were incredible”
— BethK Bose“Second time that I find a hair on my food First time was inside the empanada a pretty size black hair This hair on the sauce Drive through took too long Could have been more friendly since I waited for ten minutes for one empanada and one pandebono 😥”
