I was in shocked and then came back to confront them. The owner wanted to have a private talk with me, which I declined. Made a police report and have the video. Fui tocada en mi parte trasera por un trabajador de este establecimiento. El dueño y el señor que hizo esto estaban hablando y se reían sobre lo sucedido. Estaba en asustada y reaccioné justo cuando salí del restaurante y regresé a confrontarlos. El sueño quiso que tuviéramos una conversación en privado, la cual negué. La policía sabe de esto y hice un reporte. Las cámaras grabaron todo.

This place is actually pretty good! Personally, I think the reviews here are a little too harsh…read more When you compare this Malecon to the other restaurants in the immediate neighborhood, this one is phenomenal. Sure, if you're comparing it to the Washington Heights location, it falls a little short, but the Heights location is always packed, and the service there can be a chaotic mess because of it. The ambiance is alright, no frills. It's not Midtown, so don't expect fancy treatment, but it works perfectly for what it is. I've dined in a few times and ordered takeout a lot more. A huge plus is that you can always find a table pretty fast. Food-wise, it's Malecon, so you should already know what to expect. The rotisserie chicken is amazing, especially when you pair it with that delicious mojito sauce. The location is solid in my opinion. Unfortunately, it has gotten a little pricier over the years, but everything else did in this city, so that's to be expected. Still a solid go-to spot!

Stopped in Malecon on 230 while in the Bronx. The food was okay overall. The Cuban sandwich was…read moregood not great, crispy bread, good flavor, and worth ordering. Unfortunately, the fries tasted a bit too oily and could have been better. The only other downside was the music. It was extremely loud, making it hard to have a conversation while eating. If they turned the volume down a notch and improved the fries, the experience would be much better. Still, if you're craving a decent Cuban sandwich, it's worth a stop.

So first the service was good it was one person taking orders and helping with the food. He was nice and attentive. Second, I ordered chicken and waffles which was good but they add cheese and bacon to this dish which made me a bit nervous because I was concerned it would throw the flavor off but not it was good. I would say next time no cheese, but overall the food was good. The waffle had a good flavor sweet and fresh, a little overcooked for my preference but it was good. The chicken was good and had good flavor. My friend she ordered the tres golpes with malanga and that was delicious. It was really good. We also ordered juices, I didn't like my juice it was an oatmeal with lemon juice. The place is nice like going over to a friends house. I would definitely go back and I would try other dishes, as well.

We ordered a lovely red wine and enjoyed our entrees: my friend had the half chicken; I ordered the calamari, which is house made. Although it stayed busy, we didn't feel rushed.

I had to try it out for myself since their #1 spot was really underwhelming. This spot really hit the spot and deserved to replace the #1 spot -- the chicken was moist, flavourful, and fresh. I could see why the lines to get in were so busy, so try to get here before noon, especially on a Saturday. The maduros and yucca fries were also special -- fried just enough to caramelise while also being crispy, my favourite. Affordable? Check. Good vibes? Check. Community staple? Check. Only come if you want to be part of the winning team.

The portions are not too big or small. A meal here will for sure do the trick without an appetizer. Highly recommend coming here or ordering out. Everything was clean (especially the bathroom).

No special attention or anything was given by the people. We finished eating and asked for the bill, $87 dollars, $29 dollars each. They charged us double of the normal amount of what the normal lunch cost. The food is good but, I would be careful and ask how much they're going to charge before they rob you. Another reason i don't like going to the Bronx.
