🍣 First Timer’s Guide to The Escobar Kitchen

What to Expect, What to Try & How to Make the Most of Your First Visit

Walking into The Escobar Kitchen for the first time feels like stepping into something more than just a restaurant — it’s a whole vibe. With three locations in Lake Nona, Downtown Orlando, and Hunters Creek, Escobar is where Latin-Asian fusion meets good music, creative sushi, cocktails, and a real sense of community.

So if it’s your first time here (or you're planning to roll in soon), here's everything you need to know to get the full Escobar experience:

🔥 Start with Happy Hour — It Hits Different

If you're all about great deals and early-evening energy, plan your first visit around Happy Hour.

🍣 What Should You Order? Here’s the First-Timer Trio:

If you’re unsure what to get, this combo won’t miss:

• Tuna Fire Roll – spicy, crispy, and unforgettable

• Boom Boom Roll – an Escobar classic (not included in Happy Hour but worth every bite)

• Sake Lychee Martini – smooth, tropical, and dangerously good

  
  

Pair that with some edamame or gyoza on the side, and you’re golden.
