Grub Crawl - Mills Rd and Orlando: Z Cafe and Lele's Snack

I tried these spots on Tuesday at lunch. The first is inbetween 50 and Virginia. The second is inbetween 50 and 408 on 436.

Z Cafe - A Vietnamese place. A few months old. I'm not sure what was in this large space before. I just grabbed a banh mi special to go for $9. All good except for the roll. I think they tried to resucitate it by nuking it. That made it a giant crouton. Pate. Three types of above the usual meats. Mayo. Good veg. Seven apps including Chinese har gow. Five banh mi. Five fried rices. Six pho. Three beef dishes. Fifteen noodle dishes. Coffees. Juices. Teas. Drinks including pennywort. Gray. Black. Faux marble. Around sixteen tables. I kind of remember hearing about them. Thought it was Z Asian moving location. Nice surprise.

Lele's Snack - Venezuelan. I just grabbed what was ready. A ground beef empanada for $5. Ok. Small Spartan space. Fourteen listed emanadas. One called baby shark. Arepas. Pasteles. Bebidas. Offered me free coffee. Four tables.
