If you ever wanted to eat inside a pineapple, this is your chance!
Created by Gloria Estefan and her husband, Emilio, the pineapple-shaped Bongos Cuban Cafe is a little piece of Cuba in the middle of Orlando. The restaurant aims to recreate a 1950s Havana nightclub and serves Caribbean and Cuban cuisine for lunch and dinner. While and underrated restaurant for Disney guests, this is a decent spot to sample if you enjoy Cuban cuisine and often turns into quite a nightspot.
