Review summary

Crocante Restaurant offers a delightful taste of Puerto Rican cuisine with a "wonderful gourmet touch," praised for its "superb" dishes like the "Bacalaito tacos" and "chimichurri skirt steak." While service can be slow during busy times, the "friendly and attentive" staff, along with the "amazing food," make it a must-visit.

    the table they offered was too close to the entrance and too much going on in that area to have a nice dinner at that moment. we ask for another table, they took sometime but found us another one. The plates came out only one first and we had to wait a little more than a reasonable time and that caused to feel somewhat impatient moment so the other person don't have to start eating alone. The food was good though.

    Wow! wow! wow! This restaurant did not disappoint! Every single bite from the appetizers, main course and dessert were packed with flavors! It was fresh and delicious! I left truly satisfied in every way possible! The price is good for the quality and amount you get. My only tiny complaint is that the bacalaito tacos are tiny but my gosh they are outstanding!!! I feel like this is my new favorite Puerto Rican restaurant now!! I had the plantain soup - amazing Bacalaito tacos- amazing Pancetta with pana fries- to die for Tembleque - amazing Bread pudding - amazing ( just wished it was room temperature not hot) I also liked that the music was on but wasn’t so loud that you could have a conversation with out yelling. 10/10 don’t not walk but run there as soon as possible!

    Nice surprise in Orlando. Storefront restaurant doesn’t do much for ambiance, but the place was surprisingly large inside. Place was clean and fairly comfy. Service was OK-our server was energetic but not super attentive, even when the restaurant was not crowded. Food was super delicious-for that reason alone I’d come back. Drinks were ok, but not super special.

    Food is always great. Good spot for a good conversation. Not sure if the kithchen was running behind, but our food took a very long time to come out. It was busy, but my guess is our food took abtu 1hour.

    Service was super slow, drinks were way too sugary, main entree which was the pork belly was way too salty. Appetizers and desserts were better than main entree
