EL IMPORTADO SABOR ORIGINAL – Mexican
El Importado Sabor Original is a Venezuelan fast-food brand with a flagship storefront at 2108 Whisper Lakes Boulevard in Orlando, plus sister locations in Kissimmee and Haines City. The business traces to a Maracaibo hot dog cart started in 1991 by founder Gabriel Gatica, later expanded with his son and nephew as an Orlando food truck in 2018. The menu centers on Venezuelan-Maracaibo style street food, built on the family's hot dog and hamburger recipes developed over three decades. The Orlando location keeps long hours, open from nine in the morning past ten at night, with pickup and delivery offered.
