Q'Kenan, Orlando

Q'Kenan could easily be missed in its hidden location in a strip mall near the Orlando Premium Outlets mall just off International Drive South, but it is worth seeking out. It may be small in size, but the food offerings and friendliness are abundant. The decor is simple yet cozy, with vivid colors and bright lights throughout. The seating is limited. The prices are very affordable, and the selections include numerous Caribbean and Latin American dishes with many straight from Venezuelan kitchens. Q'Kenan is well known for its specialty arepas and is a favorite among the locals in the surrounding area. - Diane Dilov-Schultheis
