While there are options available for those less interested in straying outside their comfort zones, we recommend you bring several bold dining companions (more people = more dishes to sample!), ask lots of questions and taste, taste, taste. Hot pots, hand-pulled noodle soups, an array of dishes for the adventurous culinary explorer. Chuan Lu Yuan serves Szechuan dishes, many of which will seem delightfully new to folks more accustomed to Americanized Chinese fare. We'd add colorful, flavorful, aromatic and delicious, though it's likely all been said before. Sophisticated, spicy and authentic are words you'll often hear associated with Chuan Lu Garden, a Mills 50-outpost that operates as part of the larger Ginza steakhouse.

Win-win!Ī.D.'s expert tip: Oooh, that jalapeno relish.

Recommended for Late Night because: Late night AND reasonably healthy, especially if you're mindful of your ingredients. Bonus: one of Orlando's best craft beer bars, Tap 'N' Grind, is right next door! Delicious hamburgers, those aforementioned salchipapas (a street-food amalgam of sliced hot dogs and fries topped with cheese and flavorful sauces), empanadas, arepicas and more are delish for lunch and dinner, but downright decadent at midnight. It has since evolved into Super Rico Colombian Bistro, a brick-and-mortar operation that still caters to the nighttime crowds with hours 'til 3 a.m. Que Rico was a favorite of downtown, a food truck with delicious fare and a fun, high-energy vibe that enlivened Orlando's already hopping nighttime scene. South American 'pub food,' particularly in the form of piled-high salchipapas or juicy-flavorful Colombian-style burgers, is a level up. Pub food is a staple come the midnight hour and beyond. Also: Double Ds.Ī.D.'s expert tip: Downtown inconvenient? Gringos Locos has locations in the Milk District and out at UCF, as well. Recommended for Late Night because: Its location (walking distance from downtown's myriad nightlife options) and fast, delicious eats make Gringos Locos a no-brainer for late night. You'll have plenty of money left when you show up again a few hours later. daily brings $2 tacos, $2 beers and $5 burritos. And if you're around earlier, consider their happy hour 4-8 p.m. Though you're like to judge those at Gringos Locos as ideal for an after-hours indulgence.

Recommended for Late Night because: Locals love the Hideaway's drink specials but even designated drivers dig its righteous bar food. Sundays (yes, really) you may want to give their breakfast burrito a try, too. Wings in an array of sauces, burgers, dogs, subs, sandwiches and more are available for dining in or taking out. Another facet is that the kitchen behind this dive bar is virtually universally lauded. (Note its colors and the sharp murals out front by local artist, Andrew Spear.) It's the eclectic mix of folks who frequent the Hideaway, in fact, that many cite as part of its appeal. All comers, Miami Dolphins fans in particular, are welcome. Good, cheap drinks, a pool table and an exceedingly laid back atmosphere has garnered the place a legion of regulars. The Hideaway Bar is a tried and true local hang on the edge of Ivanhoe Village.
