Perico Ripiao

Best Dominican food in town. Live music and dancing, great ambiance and decor. I can't wait to go back.

This is my second time dining at Perico Ripiao. I love the colorful decor and authentic Dominican ambiance. The staff is always friendly and genuinely seems happy to be working there. We came for breakfast and all three of us had the mangu. It was fresh, filling and delicious. The fresh juices are made in house and tasted amazing. They have live music on Fridays, bachata on Saturday, and merengue.

If you are looking for good Dominican food, live music, dancing, and just an overall good time this is the place for you. If you have a bigger party, I definitely recommend making a reservation because this place is busy all the time, but I completely understand why. The food is incredible and the atmosphere is just an added bonus. If you're ever in Kissimmee, you have to swing by! (each photo is a different time I've eaten here)

Terrible experience! Walked in, waited 15 min to be acknowledged by the host, there wasn't a line, not busy. The host( a young teenager) asked how many people, we said 3, he looked at us funny because we spoke English but he did as well which makes no sense,we followed him and then he took off talking to some other people and ignored us. I went up to him and asked can we get a table and he acted like we were bothering him. He only gave us one menu when there's three of us. When he gave us the menu he threw it on the table.Then when the waitress comes, she asks us what we want to drink, we're not sure, she doesn't suggest anything and takes off. We felt very dismissed and unhappy with the service so we all left. We were very upset because it's our friends Birthday and we wanted to make it special and don't want to be running around Orlando trying to find a restaurant when we really wanted this food. Spoke with Blanca on the phone, she apologized but her staff needs some serious customer service skills because they wouldn't even get a 1 out of 5 stars. Common sense goes a long way. I guess they updated their policy, if you don't speak Spanish, they don't want you in here, if you come they won't treat you well so don't bother.

This business, clear as day, still has a sign that says Perico Ripiao. But they also have a small sign with a new business name. They also have a huge Venezuelan flag in their window, not Dominican which this listing indicates.With that information, I was happy bc I did want a Venezuelan food in the first place. My favorite was the sancocho which is a chicken stew. It was so warm, hearty, and tasty. I had a small bowl of this and was mighty happy. We also ordered an arepa with steak and avocado and tomato and a cachapa with steak. These were two generous sized entrees. The steak is tasty but u definitely have to trim the fat. We were quite full and happy. Their menu, not pictured here is all in Spanish. Perhaps they have one in English. I was fine with this menu bc I do love this food and know what the majority of it is. Just ask if you are not sure. They will be happy to assist. It's a great restaurant with decs inside and great service!

Price like a fine dining restaurant, but with the service of Waffle House.. something about automatic gratuity makes staff extremely lazy, love how they always try to finesse extra gratuity..

We had a party of 14 and had trouble sitting us even with us offering to wait. We finally get seated and another 4 should up that we didn't expect and the waitress said she could not move an empty table next to us to join our group. Until I told her then you explain to the manager why all 14 of us will get up and leave together if the other 4 can't job us. Also our food came out piece meal a few plates at a time. Some of if were finished and other were just getting served. Good for small groups of 4 not for large groups.After spending almost $1,500. We will not be back.

BEst Churrasco in FLORIDA .. service and ambiance. Celebrated my wife birthday here it was amazing but a bit expensive,,

Disappointing service, to say the least.Our server took our order and never returned to check on our table as we waited over an hour for our food. Typically, servers check in, offer refills, and ensure everything is okay, but we were completely ignored. I even had to get up and order my drink from the bar since she was nowhere to be found.When the food finally arrived, two plates were missing. Understanding that kitchens sometimes stagger orders, we waited a few minutes. However, after more than five minutes--while the rest of our table was already eating--the server was still nowhere in sight. A manager passed by, and we had to flag her down to let her know we hadn't seen our server since placing our order over an hour ago. She sent the server over, and when we mentioned the missing plates, the server went to the kitchen and brought them out immediately--unfortunately, 10 minutes after everyone else had already received their food and was nearly finished.Had the server simply checked on us, she would have noticed the missing dishes and ensured they came out with the rest of the meals. The lack of attentiveness was disappointing and negatively impacted our experience. Apart from all of that, the food was absolutely delicious.

First time here and I loved it. Made me feel like I was en el patio de mi casa en RD comiendo rico y disfrutando de buena música and great vibes!
