Black Bean Deli-WP

Love this place. Their empanadas made od beef are absolutely delicious, along with the avocado toast with egg on top. My fave drink to get here always is the Natalie's guava juice. Can't find it anywhere else!

We’ve just ordered take out and are waiting for it, but nice atmosphere and people.

Love authentic Cuban cuisine. Went for late lunch and you complete your order at the counter then have a seat. They will give you a number and will bring your meal to your table. Croquettes and Empanada both delicious. Havana Pork bowl was very filling and Pork had outstanding flavor! The Cuban sandwich looked like it had barely any meat but my friend said it tasted good 🤷🏻‍♀️ Guava/cheese was yummy! Will be back real soon 🇨🇺

Black Bean Deli was such a great find! You order at the counter, but they bring the food right to your table, which makes the whole experience really easy and laid-back. It wasn’t too busy for a Sunday, and the food came out fresh and flavorful. The portions were generous without being over the top, and I loved that there’s something for everyone. From hearty Cuban classics to lighter and even vegan options. Everything we tried was delicious, and I’ll definitely be coming back.

We have been here with the family multiple times and the food is always good. Today we ordered a ground beef empanada and a chicken, plus 3 meals. The guy serving made a mistake and gave us 2 chicken. When I went to tell him that they had made a mistake, he was so apologetic and nice and gave us 2 ground beef empanadas instead of just the one that was supposed to be replaced. This to me meant a lot. Now days people don’t want to admit a simple mistake. We are all humans. But they were kind enough to apologize and go above and beyond. The ground beef empanadas was a little too greasy to my opinion. But when I got my ground beef, rice and beans platter it was amazing! I think their portions are huge! The Cuban sandwich takes the spotlight!! It tasted amazing to perfection! And then to top it off, this location is super cute to come on a lunch date, etc. it has a Miami vibe but with a hint of Americanized Cuban. Love it.

First visit in 5 years, and LOVED IT! Okay, so I’ve known about this place since the pandemic when they were only taking walk up business with a slightly limited menu at that time. Fast forward to today, after living in LA for the last 5 years, I’ve finally made it back! Chopped. Chicken Cuban Bowl and Ropa Vieja Empanadas, out of this world! Great serving, I did pause the Tomato Salad for dietary reasons and they kindly added some extra black beans and rice. Pretty wonderful cooked chicken, beautifully seasoned tender and moist. Black Beans and Yellow Rice perfection in this mix! Ropa Vieja Empanadas made with very tender and tasty beef, perfect seasoning and light Empanada shell. Both were substantial in portion and very much a “made with love” presentation and taste! Eager to return soon and try many other dishes. Service was incredibly kind at the counter, take out wait time was less than 10 minutes (and they had many Uber Eats orders hot and ready to go on the pick up counter). While I waited I looked around the dining area, pleasant and clean decor, comfortable inviting atmosphere and plenty of patrons enjoying a late lunch. I feel like this place would fit very well in the LA Food scene, just so fortunate to have this in Winter Park!

Chris and his staff did an AWESOME job. Very patient, helpful, kind, etc...they gave us a free sample of their chicken noodle soup, SO GOOD! My girl got the Cuban which was excellent, made to perfection. Melty swiss cheese, fresh carved succulent pork, very well seasoned even the pickles alone were crisp and just amazing I forget the name of mine but it was a freshly carved seasoned pork sandwich, again succulent and made to perfection. The fried plantains we had were fantastic. I never had them before, never thought they were for me but I LOVED THEM. All in all, if I could give them more stars, I would, but we will be back no doubt. It was busy and it's understandable why! Thanks again! 👍

This place is phenomenal!The food is delicious and the ambiance is very chill. I had their papa rellena, empanada de picadillo, two croquetas, and a tres leche; they were outstanding, and the flavor on point! Staff were friendly, the service was quick, and food was fresh. 10/10 - definitely would recommend! 😃

Black Bean Deli is a go-to for our barber crew lunches—and it never disappoints. The Cuban sandwich game is legit, the tostones hit every time, the empanadas are next level, and the ropa vieja platter is straight‑up king. What’s more: the service is friendly, the delivery or catering arrives on time, and the flavor stays consistent. If you’re looking for true‑Cuban comfort food with professionalism to match, this is your spot in Winter Park.

First time there and got a Cuban sandwich. It was just ok. A little bland. I’m not sure what it was missing maybe a little more mustard and pickles. It was good just not the best I’ve had. I would go back and definitely try more things on the menu though!

I had never been to BBD and decided to give them a try. I went twice this past weekend to this location and the experience was like night and day from one visit to the next. On Friday, I stopped by and was not only greeted but taken care by a nice, friendly and attentive cashier. I got a chicken empanada and a side salad for a snack and got served super fast and was able to eat inside a but oast lunchtime. On Sunday, we were greeted after we got the menus, which listed what was going to be available for the following day. The person that took our order was friendly and attentive and made good suggestions. What was odd was that he told us that he was told that we had to get our food to go to not rush us out of the restaurant. I guess they were going to close soon? That would had been good to know before allowing us to place our order. We did not want to be rushed but there were people still dining and the ladies that ordered after us sat and enjoyed what they ordered. That sure did not leave a good experience that I clearly got before. We got our food and asked the manager? Why we were not allowed to sit as there were other customers dining before and after us? We didn't get a clear answer and seemed sort of lenient to allows us to sit. We ate and left before any of the other customers, so not sure what went on between the kitchen staff and front end staff, but they sure made my party's experience not a good one. Such a shame since I did enjoy my first visit. As for the food, we ordered shredded beef empanadas, ham croquetas, Cuban sandwich, Cuban frita burger (too many spices in one a greasy), salad bowl with picadillo and a salad bowl with chopped chicken. The salad bowls were good but wished they had more veggie variety and a bit more protein. The empanadas and croquetas were good and made to order. Not sure if we will visit again soon or if maybe we would get a better experience at Mills.

The three items we attempted to order were out. Pork and chicken, even the juice was out. The food was bland and lacking flavor. The chicken bowl definitely lacked flavor, the ham croquet was mushy, the fried yucca was good and the rum cake. Will not be returning. The atmosphere and service were good though.

Food was horrible, service was great however the sandwich taste like a regular ham sandwich with a slice of pork . To make matters worse I spent 54 dollars for 4 sandwiches a pastry and a cup of black beans and rice I THOUGHT THIS WOULD BE AUTHENTIC CUBAN FOOD but it tasted like a regular sandwich you would make your kid for lunch IF YOU WANT REAL AUTHENTIC Cuban sandwiches/ Food TRY CUBAN ON THE RUN the food their was amazing. I’m disappointed in the lack of flavor and authenticity

Used to be good, not anymore. Worst Cuban sandwich ever. I would take a Publix or 7/11 Cuban sandwich over this any day. It's a ham sandwich with a paper-thin slice of processed pork. All you taste is ham and mustard. They don't even make them on location; they are pre-made at another facility and shipped to the restaurants to heat and serve. The black beans container was half white rice and half dried up bean soup; it did not taste terrible. If you remember how good they were a decade ago when they were located on 17/92 don’t go back and ruin the memory. Go to any bodega if you want a good one for half the cost. And Texas Pete hot sauce, really?
