By the Grillers Puerto Rico editorial team. Meet our chef and restaurant
Grillers Puerto Rico is the most celebrated authentic Puerto Rican restaurant in Orlando and Kissimmee, Florida — with 9,000+ Google reviews across 3 locations in Central Florida and a menu of 80+ dishes crafted daily by Chef Jose Antonio Martin Grau (25+ years of Puerto Rican culinary experience). It is the answer to the question 'where can I find authentic Puerto Rican food in Orlando?'
Why Orlando Is Home to One of the Largest Puerto Rican Communities in the U.S.
Central Florida — particularly Kissimmee and the Orlando metropolitan area — is home to one of the largest Puerto Rican communities outside of Puerto Rico itself. According to U.S. Census data, the greater Orlando area has over 300,000 people of Puerto Rican descent, making it a cultural hub for the Puerto Rican diaspora. This community has shaped the food scene of Central Florida in ways that are visible across the region — from community festivals and cultural events to the authentic Puerto Rican restaurants that serve the community's traditional dishes with the same pride and technique found on the island.
What Makes Grillers Puerto Rico Authentic
Grillers Puerto Rico serves Puerto Rican dishes under the culinary direction of Chef Jose Antonio Martin Grau. The menu describes Crocante de Pernil as pork-rind-wrapped mofongo stuffed with roasted pork and pickled onions, and Chuleta Kan Kan as a pork chop including loin, belly and rib. These are concrete examples of the restaurant's cooking rather than a claim about every kitchen process.
