Q'Kenan Restaurant

Ok this has to be my favorite restaurant in Orlando and I loved the food so much. Alfredo was my server and he had the best recommendation and I loved it.The empanada came LOADED with shredded beef and this empanada didn't skimp out on quality. It tastes so good when you dip it with the green sauce and it was chef's kiss. I think this is the best empanada I ever had and when I tried other empanada, it doesn't even compare to this. I ordered another dish but I forgot the name and it's soo good. I was a little disappointed because the menu said pick 3 sides and I chose all beef. Alfredo didn't mention to me that there would be an additional charge for the beef. As a result, I had to pay an additional $10 which was very pricey and didn't find out until I received my bill and saw the charge. I didn't make any complaints because the employees seem not to speak English well and it's hard to be a foreigner trying to adapt to the culture and the language. But this is soo good and I can see why the reviews on yelp are all stellar.

Came on New Years Day lunch and was immediately seated. Per the recommendation of the waiter, we ordered the Arepas Burriada with beef, chorizo and pico, and a medium rare Picanha steak with tostones and sweet plantains along with Soursop juice.Ambiance: 4.5/5Service: 4/5 Food came out at a decent timeFood: 5/5 The soursop juice was delicious- it didn't seem like bottled juice! The Picanha steak was perfectly cooked and the tostones were some of the best I've had in a while! The arepas burriada was not what I expected (I've only had circular handheld arepas) but was absolutely delicious! All the components went well together and the fried thicker cuts/chunks of arepas were delicious!Price: 4.5/5 For Orlando prices, it wasn't bad at all. Usually, work takes us in that Orlando area once a year. We'll definitely be back!

Decided to take a gamble and come on in. Sadly, not a great pick. Food was ok, a bit flavorless, cold and the service was mediocre. At one point we had to hunt for our waiter. The worst part was they apparently sat us next to the door that opens/closes and there was a garbage smell that entered everytime someone opened the door. Plus, our table smelled like they used an old and dirty rag. We told our waiter and he just re-wipe the table but we didn't notice a difference in the scent. We made the best of our time! But the last time for us. The wings were the best thing in the menu but that took forever just to come out.

Yelp helped me find another winner. Just moved to the area and fortunately this place is right down the road. One of the best Venezuelan restaurants I've been to. Friendly service and nice clean place. Will definitely be back to try some of the other options here.

We used to be regulars and it's been year since we have been. I was shocked when we walked in. It used to be a fast casual environment now it's a gorgeous night club environment. It looks phenomenal. The menu is similar but the prices have greatly gone up. Probably because of the new environment. It's fitting to the ambiance. It was great to see the owners still there so I know it's the same people. The food was good but for the price not sure we will return. My mom's fried chicken took a long time to come out we were all almost done and it was very dark. It tasted ok though. I always had Andino there and loved it. The price went up and the portion went down. It used to also come with a regular size arepa now it comes with mini ones

I recently dined at Q'Kenan, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! The warm, inviting atmosphere and vibrant decor set the perfect stage for an unforgettable culinary journey. The menu boasts a variety of authentic Venezuelan dishes, each crafted with care and bursting with traditional flavors. We had chicha, empanadas, tequenos, patacon and cachapas, delicious.The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, offering great recommendations and ensuring that every detail of our dining experience was perfect. They also offer Karaoke Fridays and dancing with a live band in Saturdays. I can't wait to go back for some dancing time. Q'Kanqn is a must-visit for anyone looking to enjoy the rich and diverse flavors of Venezuela in a welcoming and lively setting. Highly recommended!!

This was the first time I had Venezuelan food and omg everything was so good. My favorites are Patacón Whit Picanha (they cooked picanha so well and it goes so well with the plantain) and Cachapa Queso Mano (it's soft and the cheese melts in your mouth.) So so good and I can't wait to go back!

Absolutely fantastic food. You will not leave this place hungry! You can tell that the place is authentic and the real deal, full of native Venezuelans:). The price is reasonable and the people are very friendly and helpful!

This has a great Atmosphere! Alfredo had great service. The red snapper was delicious Will be coming back!

Great vibe! The food was amazing, and our waiter was so nice. He made some delicious cocktails for us also(I had the strawberry mojito, hubby had the margarita). Everything was on point! The food has so much flavor, and please get the fried cheese!!! It is delicious!
