My husband and I love to try new foods and this was by far the best suggestion he has had yet. Mason was our serve and made great suggestions on food! Everything we tasted was amazing. Best ceviche and tres leches I have ever had! We also had a desert rice with cream, cinnamon, and a cheese on top (can't remember the name) but I could eat that everyday! We will be coming back for sure!

Ordered the food to go for my wife and kids. It was our first time so we gambled as we didnt know what everything was. But as soon as I walked in I smelled the aroma that soothed my concerns and told me my taste buds are in a safe place. The staff was very kind and considerate. They walked me through the menu with great detail to ensure I ordered something my family would love. The shrimp tower appetizer, chicken sandwich Arepa and the Spicy Chicken is what we ordered for the adults and chicken tenders for the kiddos. All of which were phenomenal. The layers of labor in the tower, the smooth creamy chicken. And the vegetables were so good my kids were taking them off my plate. All in all huge success. My family will be returning for their Thursday Night Karaoke.

This was my first time at Orinoco and I was seriously impressed. The food was packed with flavor, came out fresh and hot, and the entire experience felt authentic and welcoming. Big shoutout to my server Engely—she was amazing. Super kind, helpful, and made the visit even better with her great energy and service. The atmosphere was vibrant and inviting, and everything about this place makes you want to come back. Definitely a new favorite in Lake Charles.

I went here for the first time last week, and I can’t believe it’s taken me this long! The food was excellent, generous portions, and fresh! Our server was sweet, and the vibes were fun. I am looking forward to trying more things off of their menu!
