La Campana Mexican & Seafood Restaurant on Lee Road has instantly become one of my favorite spots in Orlando, and the chimichanga I had there is a big reason why.
From the moment you walk in, the place feels warm and welcoming, more like a cozy neighborhood spot than a generic chain. The staff is friendly and attentive without being overbearing, and the food comes out hot and freshly prepared, which really shows in the flavor and texture of every bite. The menu is packed with classic Mexican dishes and a strong lineup of seafood options inspired by Sinaloa-style cooking, so it’s the kind of place where you could easily come back multiple times and still try something new.
The chimichanga I ordered was exactly what I wanted: perfectly fried to a golden crisp on the outside, but still light enough that you can enjoy the whole thing without feeling weighed down. The filling was generous and well-seasoned, with that savory, slow-cooked flavor you only get when the kitchen really takes its time. Every bite had a great balance of meat, cheese, and the toppings, and the accompanying rice and beans were clearly not an afterthought—well-cooked, nicely seasoned, and a great complement to the main dish.
You can tell they care about consistency and quality here; other plates coming out of the kitchen—enchiladas, tamales, seafood dishes—looked just as abundant and well-presented. It’s also a huge plus that they’re open daily for both lunch and dinner from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, making it an easy go-to spot whether you’re grabbing a midday meal or a relaxed evening dinner.
If you’re in Orlando and craving authentic Mexican food, La Campana Mexican & Seafood Restaurant is absolutely worth the visit, and I’d highly recommend ordering the chimichanga—you won’t regret it.

I dined here with a party of seven and experienced frustrating disorganization around what should have been a simple order.
I initially ordered a quesadilla with shredded beef. Several minutes later, the server returned confused about the shredded beef and asked if I wanted steak or ground beef instead. I reiterated shredded beef, but the exchange remained unclear, so I switched to chicken just to simplify things.
The restaurant was not busy, yet everyone in my group received their meals while I was still waiting. My friends hesitated to eat because I had nothing, and it became awkward. At one point I genuinely wondered if my order had been forgotten.
When my food finally arrived, the refried beans were cold, which made it seem like the plate may have been sitting. I also did not care for the seasoning on the chicken.
When the manager came out, he confirmed they do have shredded beef and began explaining how it’s prepared, which only added to the earlier confusion. He offered to make tacos instead, assuming I wanted tacos, but at that point I would have needed to start over, ask for a menu again, decide on something new, and wait while everyone else finished. I didn’t want to hold up the table or be the only person eating after everyone was done, so I declined.
I also ordered a Diet Coke and was served Diet Pepsi twice without being told it was Pepsi. That should be made clear.
A clear apology and better coordination would have gone a long way. What should have been straightforward felt unnecessarily complicated.
