Chayote Barrio Kitchen – A Fresh, Flavorful Star in Winter Park We are fans of Mario Pagan’s Restaurants' snide old Chayote in Puerto Rico and look forward to the new Chayote. Tucked into the stylish corridors of Winter Park, Chayote Barrio Kitchen is a brilliant addition to Central Florida’s culinary landscape. From the moment you arrive, you’re greeted by a stunning, modern exterior softened with lush greenery, setting the tone for an experience where design, comfort, and gastronomy are perfectly in sync. Inside, the ambiance is vibrant and sophisticated. The space is adorned with artistic touches, including a bold and playful geometric partition that adds flair without overwhelming. Plush seating, warm lighting, and artful accents create an inviting and elevated atmosphere. The menu is a thoughtful celebration of Latin-inspired cuisine with modern twists. We started with the Tostones with Tuna Tartar, delicately perched on crispy plantain rounds—an elegant blend of freshness, texture, and citrusy brightness. The Croquetas with coconut shrimp and guava aioli delivered a rich, sweet-savory harmony, showcasing the chef’s creativity. For the main course, the Chuleta was a standout: a perfectly grilled Niman Ranch double pork chop paired with roasted garlic Maduro mash and a peppery arugula salad—bold, juicy, and deeply satisfying. The Ropa Vieja Lasagna was another surprise: layered with stewed brisket, heirloom tomato, and a bold romesco sauce, it brought comfort food into fine dining territory. The service was impeccable—warm, professional, and intuitive. Our server guided us seamlessly through the menu, and every dish arrived beautifully presented. Whether you’re a local or visiting Orlando, Chayote is worth seeking out. It balances artistic flair with genuine hospitality; each bite tells a story of tradition, innovation, and pride—an exceptional addition to Winter Park’s thriving food scene. A culinary and aesthetic delight
