Bandeja Paisa latin, salad 12701 S John Young Pkwy Ste 101, Orlando, FL 32837

• March 02, 2026

If you want to understand the heart of Colombian culture, you have to start with its most famous dish. Bandeja Paisa, located at 12701 S John Young Pkwy, takes its name from the legendary "Paisa Tray"—a massive, mountainous feast that originated in the Antioquia region of Colombia. More than just a meal, the name "Paisa" refers to the hardworking people of that region, and this restaurant brings that same spirit of generosity and tradition to the South Orlando community.

Bandeja Paisa is a vibrant Colombian destination specializing in the iconic national platter of steak, crispy chicharrón, and beans, balanced by a selection of fresh, zesty Latin salads. It is the perfect spot for those seeking an authentic, high-protein feast or a refreshing, light lunch in a welcoming atmosphere.

Stepping into Bandeja Paisa feels like a culinary journey to the streets of Medellín. While many come specifically for the namesake "Paisa Tray"—a spectacular combination of grilled steak, crunchy pork belly (chicharrón), chorizo, fried egg, avocado, and an arepa—the menu is thoughtfully designed to offer something for every palate. For those looking for a lighter touch, their Latin-inspired salads provide a crisp, citrusy contrast to the rich, savory meats that define Colombian comfort food. Every ingredient is prepared with a respect for tradition, ensuring that the beans have that perfect creamy texture and the plantains offer just the right amount of sweetness. Whether you are gathering the whole family for a traditional weekend celebration or stopping by for a quick, authentic midday meal, the staff at Suite 101 serves every plate with a level of pride that makes you feel like an honorary member of the Paisa community

 

 

 

From the first bite of a golden empanada to the last sip of a refreshing Colombian soda, this is where South Orlando goes for a true taste of home. Next time you find yourself on South John Young Parkway, pull over and experience the "Blessing of the Tray" for yourself.
