Mu Restaurant And Grill

This is a gem of place. Do not worry that it is next to a gas station - the food and service is fantastic (a great surprise)! Try the mufungitos!!! The owner is a true owner and operator. From Leanne: the bathrooms are immaculate. They are quiet during lunch but we loved the experience. At night, they have music and a good nightlife. Come, come, come.... We love this gem!

Everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING we ordered was delicious, fresh and perfectly balanced in flavors. All the dishes were beautifully presented; from the fresh Burrata Cheese Salad, Mango Corvina Ceviche, Truffle Fries, Pork Chicharrones in a chipotle tamarind sauce that's and the Poke Tuna Tacos Kevin was an amazing host, server & bartender who made sure we were happy and satisfied throughout our time there. He made my mother a beautiful the spicy mango margarita and I had a virgin Caribbean Crush (think of it as a watermelon lemonade ).The space was decorated with a sophisticated rustic feel, that makes you forget where you are. Although "small" it has more of an intimate feel with enough space for live music/Dj area.

We came here as it was recommended as a top restaurant in the area when we were driving through. We came in quite hungry and noticed it wasn't busy, just 3 seated tables out of 12/15 tables. We were the fourth table. We were greeted and told to sit wherever and then our waitress came to take our drink orders.After we ordered drinks and we had picked out what to order, we had to wait a long time before we could flag down the waitress to come back to us. This should have been our first warning. I ordered the poke tacos and truffle fries while my husband ordered their "famous" burger. My tacos came out within 5 minutes of ordering. I was waiting for my husband's food to arrive before I would eat mine, as meals should be served together. After 5-10 minutes I ate one out of three tacos and let him have a portion while we were still waiting on his food. After 25-30 minutes they brought out the truffle fries, which we split while still waiting for his meal. I ate my second out of three tacos. I waited 15-20 more minutes to eat my last taco as my husband was polishing off the fries. After a hour from ordering, my husband received his burger. At this point, this burger better be gold. It was just okay. He ordered it medium well and it was over well done and didn't have any flavor in the meat or burger itself. Wasn't worth the wait, but again we were starving. At least my tacos were pretty great! The truffle fries really should have just been called Parmesan fries. Once we finished, which was within 5 minutes of my husband finishing his burger, we had to flag down our waitress again to get the check. At this point it felt like she was avoiding us, as we were both able to use the bathroom separately while waiting for her to appear again to ask for the check. Would avoid this place in the future as the food was alright but the wait and service was not worth it.P.S. we were charged $8 for two bottles of Dasani water lol. This isn't an amusement park or concert venue.

Leo and the entire team at Mu are spot on fir customer service. The meal was prepared to perfection. As you can see we had the Mu special and it was very tasty and delicious.A treasure in central Florida.

Nice restaurant, good quality food well made, drinks were reasonable as well and great service.

Food is good, portion size is to be expected in this day in age as it relates to price, service is prompt and inviting, lastly the ambiance is cool with upbeat music playing overhead & 2 huge tvs.Only recommendations is the food is a bit over seasoned the the fried food is overcooked and Mix grill should have non-fried vegetables to pair with meats.

Went where after having this place on our list due to all the social media promo so we had a bit of high expectations but not so much being that this is a gas station restaurant... It was a Friday afternoon around 1pm when we arrived, there were like 2 or 3 other parties but it seemed like the slow start to their day.The tables are so close together you cannot get between two tables or have any privacy to have a conversation because the next table is almost 5 inches away from each other they did not have spacing at all. The service was a bit slow and there was a lot of confusion with the menu. The server later on brought a wrinkly paper printed menu that she had found somewhere. We were a party of 3 and were mostly looking to share a few plates. So we started off with the mofonguitos de lomo, they were good and freshly made to order. We also ordered the parrillada Venezolana which was a good plate to share but it lacked with the presentation and portions, flavor wise it was good and tasty but this stake did not come out at the requested medium term. It almost seemed like this was a reheated piece of steak. And the chorizo was on the rather dry side, also seemed reheated. I wish the main entree would've been freshly made to order and at the right temperature.The prices were a bit steep for lunch at a gas station restaurant and then we were overcharged because the server did not know how to interpret the menu pricing ...not sure I'll be back or that I'll refer anyone to this place.

I know this place being a native of 18 years, Use to be the old McDonald's attached to a gas station, funny how things change, So me and my wife stopped by here on a Saturday afternoon for a quick bite, the main entrance is on the side where the old drive thru was? Different, walked into a charming little spot, cute with a worn rustic vibe, cigar humidor directly on the left-hand side as you walk in, looks what appears to be a live entertainment stage positioned to the far right of the dining room, i'm guessing for entertainment at night time; sat down and immediately approached by the waitress, nice young lady, takes the cocktail order, bud lite draft and a Coke, leaving us to look over the menu which you view by scan, truth be told this restaurant is not set up for lunch, viewing the prices. It is definitely not your destination if you're looking for lunch prices, this was validated by four tables entering the dining room, sitting very close to us examining the menu and leaving immediately, I'm being completely honest, however, me and my wife are foodies so we wanted to stay to try the food so we started our journey with the pork belly bites and Buratta salad, to which both were very good, pork belly was crispy yet juicy, and the salad was crisp, and extremely fresh, next the award-winning burger, and my wife had the house made chorizo, food arriving in 14 minutes, I have to say the burger looked very small however, the flavor was phenomenal! award-winning worthy! Unfortunately the chorizo was absolutely terrible, completely over seasoned! any good chorizo made by hand is mildlyspicy zesty with tremendous flavor! This was over the top bad! my wife took one bite and pushed it away! Me being the carnivore tried a bite and to my surprise validated my wife,facial expression! The disturbing part was our young waitress, checked back on us on the quality of the food to which I replied. Mine was fantastic, and my wife expressing her dissatisfaction with her dish to which the waitress just simply walked away? What?! Anyways after finishing up the waitress returned to clear the plates and asked if we'd like dessert, and if we like to wrap up the chorizo to go which we declined, still surprised she had no reaction to an entrée that only had one bite, , anyways looking at the dessert menu there's only three desserts? With one dessert I believe a chocolate cake at $16?? Pretty pricey, I gotta tell you, so we passed on dessert and asked for the check, only to receive it with the chorizo on the bill? Of course we protested and server removed it but I will say this, being in the business for 40 years plus when guests come into your establishment and services are not to standard, fulfilled or food items are not touched. It is the obligation and responsibility of the business to take care of the people! ask us if everything is perfect and tasting great! Don't just walk by and not say anything and ignore it and that's exactly what she did not a care in the world, I'm seeing this all too often nowadays, so we finished up, paid the bill and left, not sure about a revisit to this establishment maybe for dinner however, the owners need to look at their staff and get them on board when it comes to service. I have spoken...

Man..we had some places in our list for a meal today and We decided to come here after reading some good reviews for the burgers.Sadly, we didn't order it (...yeah..)We ordered the congri which we absolutely recommend, really good served in a little Caldero, good portion for an appetizer.my husband ordered the infierno (drink) and it was delicious, the jalapeno kick was real....but the espetada beef/ picanha..nope, disappointed at best.First , the knives...steak knives that weren't sharp..so the meat wasn't even getting cut properly, big struggle. We ordered medium rare, it was cooked...It was chewy, really chewy..the flavor was ok in some parts but nope..nope...at least our experience was negative with that plate. I seriously think maybe it was a bad day due to the other wow reviews including this plate.Staff is really nice, took a while to bring the check but good service overall.

Finally made it here! At first we were confused! The place shares its lot with a gas station. The building looks abandoned. But they are there! Place is clean and staff is friendly. The place is a little cramp in my opinion. I thought it would've been bigger based on Tik Tok reviews. I can only imagine when it gets packed and the dj starts, it must be a very loud place. Food was legit! Even though I am a bit confused in what exactly they specialize as. Dominican, Brazilian or over all Latin America, but they can certainly cook a great steak on a stick. One con- we did notice- as we ate from bottom to up, the steak started very flavorful and as we worked our way up- it was not as flavorful. Needed salt!! But the steak was tender and juicy! The best dish was the mofongito cups that were filled with shrimp. Not wild caught shrimp but still very tasty. Great sauce! Not sure if I would come back. It was a good experience, but not a wow experience.
