I have been visiting Lelo's for years and the food is great, on my last visit I was sadly disappointed. Many times when visiting I would take advantage of their daily specials, many times on Tuesday for the beef steak special. Today I checked the menu, saw the daily special and proceeded to order the special that is advertised at $8.39 when I made it to the checkout my bill came to $10.96 unbeknownst to me they have decided to stop offering the lunch special. The difficulty I have with this is there was absolutely no communication from the store explaining that they no longer offer the special and they continue to advertise it at $8.39 on both their own menus and their website. When I questioned the cashier they said "oh, we do not do the special anymore." I am sorry but if you are going to raise your prices by 20% you certainly had better communicate that with your customers before they are stuck holding a plate of food and essentially being forced to pay the increased prices. I later brought the attention to management and their response was "sorry we are stuck with a ton of these old menus and before we can update our prices we have to get through all the old ones" WHAT? I am sorry but falsely advertising your prices on your menu and your website is absolutely no way to approach business. I asked why they did not cross the prices off the "old" menu she said "that would look tacky" well you know what is more tacky, advertising one price and charging another. She also said that it "states" on their overhead menu there are no more daily specials, I asked where? She responded "see we took down the sign for the daily specials, it used to be right there." I might have a little more understanding if the price was changed by $.25 or $.50 and they simply could not update the menu but to raise prices by two dollars and continue to advertise the old price is very questionable. The manger conceded to refund my difference but I found her treatment of the situation and the general handling of this situation was horrible. For a restaurant that once had a line out the door it was remarkably empty and herein lies your reason. If you do decide to go there do not trust the prices on the website or their menu.

WOW! I bookmarked this restaurant prior to arriving to Orlando & luckily my mom lives near this location. I ordered rice (with beans on top) and plantains, no meat so I can't review that. It seemed like they were surprised that I wasn't ordering meat. The FILL your container to the max, the yellow rice had some sort of sausage in it and the beans were in a delicious gravy. It was so good I went back later to take some home in my luggage. Now I have to find a PR BBQ place near DC. Service was quick & my food was hot & fresh. There's a Lelo's sandwich shop next door to this location.

I Love this place!! Puerto Rican portions, sometimes. Excellent value. Expert chicken, when you can get it. Jyep, they sell out. Some inconsistent service but overall, and I come often enough, as good as it gets. Worth the drive from Orlando and makes my Puerto Rican girlfriend very happy.
(5)Anibal O.
Pretty good place. Prices are not outrages, fast service and talkative employees with customers makes you feel wanted... I have tried everything literally everything in their menu... Their chicken is good, rice is on point, yucca is soft and gooey just how I like it, their mofongo is fresh, and their cuajito is good when they have it! I recommend it!
(4)Sam R.
Best Puerto Rican food in Orlando! I've been going here since the week it opened years ago . The food is always good, the prices are good, the sitting area is small for the demand. At times the line can run outside. This partly due to the staff, some of the item that are done on the spot are not handled well. The staff puts your receipt on a wall in line or as they come, however when it actually shows up the cook just puts it on the counter and you can wait even longer. If they would get the staffing in order this place would get 5 stars! Definitely good food!!!
(4)Albert P.
The best Puerto Rican restaurant in Central Florida. Great rotisserie chicken, rice, pork, yuca, etc... The food is fresh and you can choose your rice, white or "guisado" with peas or sausage. They also serve salads and vegetables. The best part is the low prices and huge portions.
(4)John C.
I love eating here! Sooooo much good food for such a good price! I bring all my friends when they visit
(5)Rylan Y.
Awesome grill for less price! Love the restaurant. Today my friend and i went there for dinner. We park at the back (front was full) with a window down, i left my backpack in the car hidden on the floor. During dinner it was stolen untill my friend found it was hidden behind the dumpster. All my CASH were stolen and some cool trees. An employee with a pair of red bulls' eye was there smoking all the time, but we got no evidence and couldn't file police report for the camera tape. Im so pissed off. Just be careful everybody, they have filthy greedy thief there at the parking lot aiming for your cash!!!!
(5)Teng-liat K.
Great value for money especially the chicken, pork and king fish - well cooked and tasty. Service might be a bit slow but friendly.
(5)Jessica J.
I enjoyed my meal here. There was a small variety of entrees to choose from and the food was all very tasty. The atmosphere was lively. I enjoyed a veggie plate with rice & beans, green bananas with peppers and onions, and fresh broccoli. The hubs enjoyed rotisserie chicken. I only have one complaint...some of the food was not quite hot. It was lukewarm. I was not happy about that at all.
(3)John C.
Authentic and amazing. We are addicted to the pork, we get it to go all the time. Rotisserie chicken, plantains, yellow rice, and etc are all great too.

Having met family in this section of Orange City to dine at other locations, kept seeing this Lelo's BBQ, so when we were in the area by ourselves,decided to check it out and so glad we did. It is not a fancy place, one where you place your order, then the food is served up like cafeteria style from per-prepared stations, unless the item ordered takes longer and then you pick up your food & pay at the counter. The restaurant was extremely clean and there is indoor seating and a few outdoor tables, and location is in the row of food places off Saxon Blvd in Orange City. Food is served on plastic sectional plates and of course plastic silverware, which was not an issue for us, but just letting the "fancy restaurant type" people" know.. Being newbies to Puerto Rican food, which we announced to the beautiful very friendly & obvious family member of the restaurant, we were given a quick tutorial of the Island cuisine types of food. We decided to get combo meals of the Half Rotisserie Chicken and the daily special of Beef Stew to share with different sides to round out our dining experience. Our sides consisted of red rice (although the menu says yellow rice?), cooked Yucca with onions (a very first taste for us both), sweet plantains and red beans. The Chicken was very flavorful, moist and delectable, the Beef Stew was awesome, the Yucca amazing and will now be a staple every time we visit Lelo's. But have to say, we both loved the flavor of the rice, BUT IT WAS WAY TOO SALTY for our tastes and will not be getting that side again if that is the norm, but we are not salt people period,. so could be fine for others.. There is a daily special, mostly beef or pork style dishes available, so will have to go on different days each time we go now to sample those selections. The portions sizes were insane, neither of us could finish our plates and the prices extremely affordable for the food served. We selected the Combo Meals with 2 sides and each came with a fountain drink and the price was $7.79 each! Heck, you can almost spend that much at a burger joint for upscale sandwich items, fries and soft drink/milk shake. We will definitely be going back to Lelo's BBQ and did stop in next door, as they also have a Lelo's Fish and Sub restaurant adjacent to Lelo's BBQ. We picked up a menu and man, it looks so affordable; example their deluxe seafood fried platter of Fish, Shrimp and Scallops with fries and coleslaw for only $12.99, so we must try that place sometime as well..

On the road to Tampa, we found this restaurant. Good stuff, friendly staff. We recommend yellow rice, plantain and quesitos (they were so fresh!) See picture.
(5)Jackie S.
WOW! The food is absolutely amazing ~ I too can hardly believe that they have been around for this long and I am just now eating here!! The husband brought our dinner home and even after the 30 minute drive, the food was still hot and fresh as if they were just around the corner. The roasted sliced pork is delicious. It falls apart and has an excellent flavor. The yellow rice is superb and the beans are seasoned nicely. With my dinner, I had the bananas as a side item and although I had never had it anything like before, it was pretty tasty. The husband had the half chicken dinner and yellow rice with the beans. The chicken was slow roasted and very tender. I also had the guava and cheese pastry for dessert and wow.. it was so good it brought back memories from my childhood. All in all, if you are looking for something that will wake up your taste buds, you'll have to try Lelo's.

I've been frequenting this place for over a year and a half, now. So they are certainly doing things right. I always order the #1 --Half chicken with two sides. The sides that I get are the sweet plantain and the yellow rice with peas. Unfortunatey, they only serve the yellow rice and peas on Thursdays and Sundays. All other days, they serve the yellow rice with pork sausage. Not everyone can eat pork, so I am unsure why only they chose two days out of the week. This place reminds me of Martin's Barbeque, a place I used to frequent when I resided in Puerto Rico. They have your usual Puerto Rico menu that may please every palette. Their beef is always tender and flavorful. Here, at Lelo's the chicken is hit and miss; meaning, some days it's drenched in flavor, and some days it's bland. That, plus the fact that they only offer yellow rice with peas two days o the week puts them at a three star... Their stellar customer service and the face that all of them great us customers with a smile, raises them to a four star. Once they fix their chicken issue and rice issue, I will be able to rate five complete stars for this establishment. Overall, I do recommend.
(4)Joshua M.
Good food that was pretty inexpensive. The place is not fancy but stays busy. It's in an area where there are a lot of chain restaurants, but if you like to support mom and pop type places this is a good option. I had the bacalao which was tasty.
(4)Ed B.
Just a shout out to all you Yelpers who steered me to Lelo's.. MUCHAS GRACIAS! This is some serious food. I'm from NYC so no stranger to Latin cuisines. This is the best yellow Rice I have ever eaten. I had it with sweet plantains, which were perfectly done - neither over cooked or too sweet- as is often the case. The main part of my meal was the succulent pernile, perfectly cooked pork, so moist, tender and absolutely superb! This is a real winner. Lucky are those of you who live in the Orlando area. Seth ( the owner, I think) is a Superstar. And a personality to match the food.
(5)Melissa D.
The food at Lelos is amazing. I have yet to try something I did not like. And it's also a Big Bang for your buck. One combo meal is enough for dinner and lunch the next day for me. My boyfriend on the other hand can't se em to leave any for left overs. They also have different family size meals which are perfect for larger families or groups.
(5)Eric H.
I can hardly believe they've been here for years, and I never heard of them. Anyway, P was highly impressed with their offerings. The place is quite popular, and it's easy to see why. The mofongo (yuca and plantain mix) is very filling and tasty,but pretty starchy, as you would expect. The staff is super friendly and helpful, too. When in Deltona, go to Lelo's.
(4)Edwin J.
The best local Spanish cuisine I have found. Have not been disappointed in any of my numerous visits. The staff is very friendly attentive to each customer! They will answer any questions you may have. The place is immaculate. Clean, orderly, not elegant but very family friendly. All the staff is bi-lingual and professional.
(4)Brittany R.
Lelo's is absolutely delicious. Straight up authentic Puerto Rican food. My favorite is the quarter chicken combo with sweet plantains and yellow rice. Outstanding flavors. The only reason I gave 4 stars is because they don't give enough plantains! They're so good!
(4)Vinny F.
Awesome awesome awesome food. Atmosphere is very bland if you decide to eat in. Very clean though! Bathrooms are very clean as well! 5$ gets you quarter chicken and 2 sides and a drink! The yellow rice is awesome and so is the pork. The fried bananas are the best around. I usually carry out. But is the best fast Spanish'/island homemade style food around for the price. I still give it 5 stars! Perfect!
(5)Debbie B.
The BEST!! mofongo you can sink your teeth into. This awesome place has it together...clean and friendly. Whatever it is you crave from cuajito, guineitos en escabeche, ensalada de mariscos, pernil, bisteck, yuca, pasteles de masa, arroz, habichuelas, sancocho or their famous rotisserie chicken. You can't go wrong here and the prices are very reasonable. Check it out!!!!
(5)D A.
Being married to a PR wife and being from NY. This is great food and very reasonably priced. Family style also for our large family.
(5)Jess M.
This is my first 5 star review & this place is so totally worth it. What you can get in this place for $8 is crazy. You could feed 2 people with one diner meal. I haven't tried everything yet but the beef is always moist. The chicken falls off the bone & at a great price. The rice & beans I could be 500 lbs if I eat there as much as I would like to. Then they have this seafood side dish. Wow that is great healthy snack on a hot summer day. I just love this place!!
(5)Jose B.
The best Puerto Rican food in the Deltona/Orange City area.
(5)Dana S.
Holy amazeballs this place is great. I can't speak to the authenticity, but we were the only white people in the place. The food is fantastic. Great portion sizes, two people could easily split an entrée. The staff was very friendly and the atmosphere was fun. Very busy. Definitely get the mofongo with chicken. It was delicious!
(5)Michael C.
This is one of my favorite stops, I eat here weekly if possible. Have tried the chicken, pork, rice and plantains. All are great this place is consistently good.
(5)Michael y.
Muy delicioso!!! Get the combo with mofongo, felt like I was back in pr auhtentico home cooking
(4)Tracie W.
We were surprised to discover a Puerto Rican restaurant in Orange City, FL. It's a quick serve restaurant where you order at the counter with indoor seating and one outdoor table. The food smelled delicious when we arrived, and there was a steady line, which moved fairly quickly. However, they were backordered on cooking a few items - chicken, plantains and tostones so we had to wait for some of our meal side dishes to be cooked, which delayed the meal. The yellow and white rice portions are huge. The beans, sweet plantains and tostones were good. My friends all liked the yellow rice but thought the chicken was okay but not great. The prices are very reasonable. The only thing that really bothered me is that I did not see any of the workers wearing gloves. Still it's nice to have a different type of cuisine nearby.
(3)Nelson A.
Great food served in huge portions. All of the merits for this place are on the food which is fresh and delicious. If your looking for romantic ambiance this cafeteria style dining room is not the place. Wants to stuff your pie hole to the point that you pop a button on your pants? Look no further.
(4)George T.
What can I say about this place when it comes to their Puerto Rican food? Simply delicious!!!! Their food is so great, I don't even know where to start! Ok, first of all I dont want to confuse regular BBQ fans but this place is really not a BBQ restaurant. But with that said, you need to visit them anyway and try their food. Once you do, you will know why I wrote this review. This is delicious Puerto Rican food at its best! First of all the staff is very friendly. Their food is super fresh. I have had their arroz con gandules, chicken, meat dishes, yuca, sweet fried plantains, and fried pork chunks. The pork chunks are the best! Do you want a fresh mofongo? Go ahead and order it and they will make it fresh! For those of you who don't know what mofongo is, its fried plaintains that are mashed in a mortar and pestle with garlic, pork fat, and latin seasonings and served in a mound.....OMG, its fresh and delicious! The place gets packed with a melting pot of people from all nationalities. Their prices are extremely reasonable as well as their portions! If you go to their website you can even print a $1.00 off coupon when you purchase one of their combos. I am surprised that other Yelpers have not been to this place or written a review on Lelo's!! Listen, if you want some great Puerto Rican food at a great price, visit Lelo's but don't blame me if you are there everyday after your first visit! Lelo's, get ready, your restaurant is going to get more packed since this is the first review for your restaurant on Yelp.
(5)Shizelle N.
They have delicious food, but it sucks when they are out of everything you want!!! Fail!!!
(3)Ted C.
Good and authentic! Makes me crave it because it is so good...but be careful when ordering the tostones...they take forever! I guess they are made to order! Just wish they would've offered me a soda or something...took longer to wait for tostones than it took for me to drive there, eat and clean up!!! I ordered the pork this time, but I've gotten the chicken in the past...all yummy!!
(4)Jose S.
They have the best monfongo. They also have a sandwich with platanoes as the bread. OMG!!! That's sooooooo good. Seafood monfongo is also good. I want some now. Again.
(4)C J.
Every time I drive south , I make a point of stopping at lelos . The mafungo , roast pork, and rotisserie chicken are very tasty. The sweet plantains are a perfect side to any menu offering. The food is quick and hot as well as the counter service is top notch. I highly recommend swinging in if passing Through Orange city.
(5)Suzanne K.
I found this place thanks to yelp and like it enough to take the time to write a review. It's always great I get the pork with rice and beans and it is always enough to eat twice and its only around $8.00. Will keep going back.
(5)Tim H.
Really good fast casual food. The chicken was tender and flavorful. The beans were good. They are fast as well which is great for a quick lunch. They are reasonably priced as well.
(4)K M.
Separated from Lelo's BBQ by one storefront, Lelo's Fish & Subs is excellent in its own right. We had the volcano mofongo with shrimp and ajillo sauce, a media noche, and an order of trifongo with dipping sauce. Everything was delicious and in large portions. The children had the kids' menu fried shrimp with fries and the fried fish with fries. Each was easily enough for an adult. Everything came out fresh from the kitchen, and the young woman running the register came over frequently to check on us, making sure that our drinks were refilled, we had enough sauce, and that empty baskets were cleared off the table. I've honestly never had such helpful service in a table-service restaurant, let alone a counter-service restaurant like this one. Prices were quite reasonable, especially considering the large portions and good-quality seafood. The restaurant was simple but very clean and new looking, the music set a good mood, and the cuisine was very tasty and filling. Try this place!
(5)Cardy M.
I am in Deltona visiting family and we decided to try this place out. The food is fabulous. If you want chicken and pork, eat here, if you want some seafood and sandwiches go to Lelo's fish and subs next door. I had the red snapper with trifongo (plantains, sweet potato, and yuca) balls. My son had the Cubango sandwich, my wife ordered the mofongo, and my son had a pork platter and we all enjoyed it. Best place I have eaten in Orange City by far.
(5)Dave M.
The real deal Latino food. Killer chicken soup. Nice and clean and they feed you plenty. Red snapper is awesome as is the mofongo. I've been 3 times in one week and will be going back.
(5)Jim L.
I have been coming here regularly with my coworkers for quite some time. We always go on Tuesdays for the beefsteak special. It's usually really good and only $8.39. Four of us went today and all got it. When she rang it up all of a sudden it was almost $11! I pulled a menu that was on display right in front of the register to show her. She said that they no longer do it. I told her she should take down the menus showing that price if that is the case. She offered nothing and no apology. Everyone one of my coworkers were upset and it made for a very unpleasant meal. After we finished, we asked to speak with a manager. A girl with a polo shirt on, who didn't identify herself other than to say she is the manager, came out and told us yes the price has been increased. We showed her the menu that is on display at 2 places on the counter showing the price much lower. She said they took it off the overhead board. She told us that they are trying to get through the last of their menus and it's expensive to print menus. I asked her why the website still shows those prices if that is the case and got no response. I pulled it right up on their own website in the store to show this. She said that she would refund us the difference this time $1.96 each. The she just kept on with more nonsense excuses. A little background on my group... we all work in finance. She told us that the economy has gotten so much worse lately (it's hasn't) so they have to raise the prices. Probably the wrong group of people to BS about the state of the economy. We told her that it's terribly misleading to have the prices on the menu be way off and have them next to the register. We told her she should correct the menus and she told us that it would look tacky. You know what is tacky is pissing off customers who come to your business regularly and ensure they won't be back. I am angry at myself for recommending this place to others now. As far as the beefsteak, it seems as if they are doing something different as it was no where near as tender as it has been in the past. Either prep or as I suspect they are using cheaper meat. Definitely not worth the price or the nonsense excuses. Here is your 1 star Lelo. You earned it!
(1)Ducky S.
A delicious and mind blowing place. It serves a mouthwatering display of culture and flavor on every plate. A gem in the middle of nowhere. with a line out the door most definitely worth the short wait as most of the food is already prepped it goes by pretty quick so don't be fooled into thinking it will take a while. Definitely a must try.
(5)Rita V.
This time they didn't have yucca mofongo... But they had yucca al mojo and it was good! As is their pork. Still a hole in the wall! Still LEGIT!
(4)Michael W.
Lelos sandwich and fish store that is located next door is equally as amazing, I would suggest you give it a shot. The fish, mofongos, and sandwiches.
(5)Ro R.
The rice is so good!! You would think they have Abuela trapped in the back chained to the stove.. I mean you cast taste the spices, and the Lechon is like whoa... The staff is sweet and fast.. Five stars worth the drive from Orlando tonight
(5)Stephen B.
Great Mufungo. Great Food. Always Busy-means Fresh Food!!!
(5)Andrea A.
Fair prices and very large portions. The food was good, but the flavors tasted a bit off for me as I have been to many other Puerto Rican restaurants. Not my favorite but still pretty good, I may try them again.
(4)Brian B.
I've heard so many awesome things about it wow There food is so delicious and portions huge the price is unbelievable cheap for the quality and quantity the roasted chicken is amazing the rice for wonderful the plantains and mixed vegetable all top notch can't wait to try there other concept
(5)Michelle G.
This place has fairly good food but the service and availability of food advertised is poor. Ordered by phone and then came in 20 minutes later to be told they ran out of chicken and I would need to wait 20 minutes before more was ready. They weren't sure why the person who took the order didn't let me know. Unfortunately this was not my first experience with this here. I will be supporting ethical business moving forward no longer this place :(
(1)Richard F.
We were visiting friends nearby and in spite of the recent reviews we decided to try it anyway. We wanted to try some authentic cuisine and we thought the food was very good. In my opinion they should be lowering the prices not raising them as they are since the economy is coming back and the gas prices are dropping. They would probably attract more customers.
(2)Jenny M.
Good fast fresh great prices
(4)Karen P.
Ignore the guy complaining about a change in menu specials, this place does NOT deserve the one star he childishly gave them. The truth is, they have amazing food!!! And fabulous service!
(5)Stephen S.
Very good Puerto Rican food. they give you a lot of food its hot it's well priced. the plantains are very well done. I wish I could eat here a few times a week!
(4)Lauren H.
The food is good but you can get it for way cheaper elsewhere. I have come here a few times and ordered the ropa vieja with white rice and red beans. I always had to put seasoning on it all because it just didn't have enough flavor for me. Another time I came and they ran out of BEANS. This is a Puerto Rican restaurant that ran out of BEANS. Really... Weird. I think they take advantage of the fact that they are the only restaurant in the area serving Puerto Rican food because the prices are a bit high and I can get a plate for $4 of the same stuff and it will taste a whole lot better.
(3)Randolph Z.
That was awesome. I found this place on Yelp while at NSB, forgot the exit, and then happened to get off and pull in right in front. That's how you know that Jesus and Thor both really want you to go somewhere. So we got half a chicken, mofongo with pork, and some delicious yellow meat soup. Everything was excellent, and the folks working were just wonderful. It was also very cheap. Definitely try the rotisserie the chicken. What is it about roasted chicken, just a dead bird with no seasonings, that tastes so amazing? Everything looked amazing, everyone was friendly, and I was hungry enough to eat the flesh of a basilisk. The perfect storm of food-intake.
(5)Rich B.
Best Puerto Rican food ever!!!!!!! Mofongo can't be beat! Better than any I've had in Puerto Rico.
(5)Ho L.
While driving from Daytona to Orlando, I had to stop and get some food. Lelo's BBQ came up, and figured it was a good choice. I was pleasantly surprised by the excellent food that they had, along with fantastic prices. For $5.50, I got a quarter rotisserie chicken, along with two sides: yucca and yellow rice. The chicken was sooooo juicy and tasty! The yucca was delicious, and the rice was very good. Overall the value was fantastic, and the never ending line of customers validated that.
(5)Arya R.
I believe that all one star reviews should be ignored. This food is truly amazing. Both Lelos restaurants have amazing food to offer. My favorites are the roasted pork sandwich, and the whole red snapper. This restaurant truly is one of the best in town.
