Oh! Que Bueno Restaurant Grill and Bar

After a long day of eating at Epcot Food and Wine it was time to hang out with my dear friend Melvita from Chicago.

She was in town for a workshop and we had to see each other and have dinner. Fortunately, we were near a great Colombian restaurant on Semoran near the Orlando Internationl Airport.

Oh Que Bueno has been on this side of town for quite a bit now. Most of my Latino friends come here and have told me how good the food is.

The atmosphere is nice. When you walk in the music is playing at full blast and the locals are enjoying good conversation and a good meal.

It smells great as soon as you enter and we were greeted and seated as soon as we walked in. Tonight seemed a bit busy. Every table had someone and the servers were moving and shaking helping the customers.

Joaquin was our server for tonight. Very friendly gentleman with a great sense of humor and excellent regarding knowledge of food and dessert. I had to start off with a Colombiana to drink.

Bandeja Paisa.
Arroz, frijoles, carne asada, chorizo, chicharron, morcilla, maduro, huevo y arepa (rice, beans, steak, fried pork skin, sausage, fried sweet plantain, black sausage, fried egg and corn cake). This was my dish. The portions are enormous.

Entrana.
Grilled skirt steak. This was @xobejm dish. She ate the whole steak. She loved it! Joaquin suggested to try an assortment of their sauces.

Carne Asada.
Grilled top round steak. This was @tarajroth dish and Melvita got the same dish but with plantains. We all tried the different sauces and they were all so good. Mojito, Hot Sauce, and Chimichurri. I did not take a photo of the sauces because we immediately attacked them.

Postre De Natas
Creme dessert

Flan De Queso

Tres Leches. We had to share all the desserts tonight. These hit the spot and were a great ending to our meal.

Luckily, tonight we were hungry. Oh Que Bueno went all out and delivered an amazing huge meal and dessert. Overall, very nice place. Decent size. Music is a bit loud. TV screen to watch sports. Full bar. Clean restrooms. Great customer service.

Joaquin, Gracias por todo. La comida y el servicio estuvo excelente. Te lo agradezco mucho.

So I was REALLY impressed with this place. It deserves more than 3 stars for what it is a small, local, unpretentious family run place catering to locals. Oh! Que Bueno  executes that perfectly!

The food was FRESH, authentic, well prepared and TASTY!

The atmosphere was just okay. It was a little dark and was in kind of a random part of town. You would absolutely drive by if you were not a Yelper. In fact, had it not been for Yelp, I would never have stopped in.

I'll be back and if you're ever on Semoran out by the Orlando airport skip Applebee's, Fridays and Tony Romas. You won't be disappointed.

A must try! There is nothing we ordered that wasn't absolutely delicious.
We all gravitated toward steak, but different cuts. From skirt to round steak.
The rice was top notch with windfall beans.
The house sauces are a MUST.  
The mojito (Garlic) was my favorite but make no mistake about it the chimichurri and the hot house sauces were of the chain.
Don't forget the desert. Loved the tres leches and the "nata" (spelling not sure I got it right but it's pronounced that way)

Eat and enjoy! Joaquin was a great server ask for him!
