Fonda La Petrona

With so many options to eat in Orlando and especially In the area where this restaurant is located on International Dr, I don't see why would anyone come back here. I came on a Saturday at about 6:45 pm after a long day at the park 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 they could make some space for us.To start we had the street corn which was extremely disappointing. They drowned it with pure mayo with nothing else so it had a bad taste. Bad choice to start with.The mango margarita my daughter said it was pretty good.For dinner, we ordered steak tacos. They had no flavor and it was just unseasoned steak with pepper and melted cheese. The server that brought it to us didn't even know they were tacos (because they looked more like a quesadilla). Horrible. I told the server I didn't like it and nothing was done she just brought a chipotle sauce to make it taste better which did not so she did not eat it. ( she said she asked the chef who she said was Mexican and the chef himself said that I was right that those weren't real tacos).I had the bandeja paisa which was ok, they serve it on a wooden block making it hard to pour the beans as they run through the sides into the table so a bit messy for my taste as I couldn't really enjoy it so I asked for a to-go box.Overall this place is as basic as it gets and I don't recommend it. They were more concerned with the people that had not arrived for the evening lounge life than the clients they were serving as we had to call our server our way to finish taking care of us. They even closed the side door so people would stop coming in mind you it was an emergency exit. Once more I don't recommend it if you want a quiet meal as the music is more club scene.

Overall this place is as basic as it gets and I don't recommend.

Food portion was good. My boyfriend and I ordered the badeja paisa, it looked like the only thing from the menu that would have been decent enough to eat. The chicharron was way too salty for my liking, the board it was served on made no sense s to why they would use that because we were not eating appetizers or ordered a charcuterie plate, and the service could have been better, the waitress took too long considering it was not that busy. It felt like we were there forever until we decided to get up and go to the register to pay. In my opinion it may be a good lounge but it does not make a good restaurant.

Amazing place for good food and good music. Came here for the first time and will be back again. Highly recommended.

This place is awesome. Good food, cool people, good vibes. Overall highly recommend if you're in the area!

Lugar Colombiano-Mexicano con muy buen ambiente y servicio, meseros muy atentes y formales. Me encanta el interior y las decoraciones muy hermosos. Tienen muchos especials de comida y licor. Se puede hacer reservacion por instagram o whatsapp si prefiere no llamar. Aqui ponen musica bailable por la noche hay mucha fiesta. Tambien se puede ver partidos de futbol.

Natalia is a good bar tender and very good at conversation. highly recommend for a good time with your friends

excellent food, the people who served us were very attentive the entire time! The atmosphere is very cozy and organized, not to mention that good music makes a total difference, the place is very well located with ample parking!

Terrible place. Used to be PAC Pizza, same owners new name. Ask for water and you get bottled water from Costco for $3. They don't even offer ice water in a glass. Ordered empanada platter, chicken beef and cheese, got chicken beef and beef. Server took entire order back so we had to wait even longer (45min total) to finally get the 3 different kinds. If you don't speak Spanish don't bother going.
