With so many options to eat in Orlando and specially In the area were this restaurant is located I don't see why would anyone come back here. I came on a Saturday evening to eat with my family and the place was completely empty, however I was told that everything was reserved, but since I was just coming to eat with the family that they could help me out. To start I had the street corn which were extremely disappointing. They tasted like pure mayo with nothing else. The mango margarita was pretty tasty. For dinner I ordered the steak tacos. They had no flavor and it was just unseasoned steak with pepper and melted cheese. The runner that brought it to us didn't even know they were tacos (because they don't look like it). Terrible. I told the server I didn't like it and nothing was done (even tho she said she asked the chef who she said he's Mexican and the chef itself said that I was right that those weren't real tacos). My mom had the bandeja paisa which she also said it was just ok. Overall this place is as basic as it gets and I don't recommend.

I had an awesome dining experience here at La Petrona. Long day at work & needed a healthy scrumptious meal option at nearly 8pm. The salmon salad I ordered to go looked so delightful I ate it right then & there. It was so delicious I forgot to take a photo, but trust me it was incredibly delicious & this is coming from a person who is a major food critic. Then the drinks, perfecto! I ordered the mezcalita (also not posted) & the margarita flight, unbelievable! Bursting with flavors. The drinks & food portions were a great size & very fulfilling. Great family atmosphere & great place to unwind & relax after a long day!
The food was amazing. The friendliness of our server was a breath of fresh air. I enjoyed my Alfredo and the churrasco was flavorful and tender. We will definitely will be returning soon!!
I enjoy going dancing at La Petrona. Family friendly, great music and awesome atmosphere. Perfect place to go watch soccer games and celebrate special ocassions.
Great place for Colombian food centrally located. Great dancing atmosphere after 10pm with a variety of cocktails and good mix of music.
