While some other Cuban kitchens tag onto the pan-Latin craze and expand their menus to include influences from Central and South America, the humble Black Bean Deli in Winter Park remains doggedly devoted to homespun Cuban food. After 18 years, it’s still a prime choice for sturdy, soul-warming lunches and dinners.

As soon as you step inside, you barely have to close the door before you're at the front counter, facing a menu board and kitchen team. If you don’t know what you want, ask for help, and they’ll steer you in the right direction, with a hot meal usually ready within minutes, with a cost of less than $10 for your selections.

For dining in, there's but a cluster of bar stools lined up at the window overlooking traffic on U.S. Highway 17-92. But the Black Bean Deli is better known as a dependable takeout joint. Although it’s a sweet, cozy setup, don’t expect any overly friendly schmoozing from behind the counter – they’re just too busy.

The place to go for Papas Rellenas, Cuban Sandwiches, spicy pan con lechon shredded-pork entree, drizzled with "mojo" garlic sauce, ample trimmings of sweet fried plantains, salad and, best of all, the diner’s signature black beans and rice.
