Apopka, Florida

Orange County · 200 restaurants

Apopka calls itself the "Indoor Foliage Capital of the World," home to a dense concentration of ornamental plant nurseries that remain central to the local economy even as Orlando's suburban sprawl has reached the city's borders. The city's 195 restaurants serve both longtime agricultural workers — many from Mexico and Central America, supporting a strong Latin American food scene — and a growing wave of newer residents drawn by Orlando-area affordability. Lake Apopka, once notorious for pollution from decades of farming runoff, has been the subject of an ongoing restoration effort that's slowly reshaping the area's identity.
