Come hungry and leave happy with some Leftovers for later. My partner and I order platter 5 and ouuu definitely filling! Great taste and atmosphere. Only one star knocked because to substitute price is like better ordering them separately. read more

Came to this location since i was given a milkshake from here about a year ago. I was surprised when i realized it wasn't a milkshake only spot. Instead, it was on the side of the highway and was a hidden cafe. It was small but they had the QR code is outside so that you can look at the menu. They have things like chicken wings, burgers, tenders, milkshakes. It almost reminded me of a Bronx version of Mom's Diner (if you have ever gone). It was indeed a bit pricey, for i spent $17 on a milkshake. I haven't tried the food but i can say that the milkshake (roughly 16oz) was delicious. I got myself the Crazy Fruity milkshake which tasted like fruity pebbles. They don't get a 4 stars because the milkshake pebbles were stale on the outside. I did like however the frosting layers inside the cup which made a nice taste and look to it. Will come here again to try the food. Till then if you looking for a fancy milkshake in the Bronx, looking to treat your kid for their hard work in school or a good grade... this is your place to go. read more

Came to celebrate the last day of school and wish we would have left. Same experience as a year or so ago so this review could be used for both visits. All patrons look miserable upon entry as they had the doors open and no AC on during this humid, muggy day. We decided to stay despite the lack of engagement by the employees since our son was looking forward to a $17 milkshake. To make a long story short the service sucks, food severely over priced with small portions and the place was filthy. The staff drags their feet as their is gratuity automatically included on the bill so no need to actually work for it. read more

Good food great little restaurant service was great as well I wish it was bigger also try the milkshake lol

Reservations are recommended. They didn't tell us that when we called but the first thing they asked when we walked through the door was if we had reservations. Food was decent, better then I thought it would be given I thought it was a dessert place but food is overpriced in my opinion. The bacon Mac was decent. The sweet chili wings was good as well as the waffle fries. The mozzarella sticks were decent. Then I topped it off with the Oreo milkshake. read more

This is a cute mom and pop establishment......it is VERY small inside ......and not like it appears on social media......it is on a corner of a side street and is a store front with an apartment building on top.... it is SMALL. NEVERTHELESS I enjoyed my experience.....I went with my 6 year old daughter whi has now labeled this as one of her favorite places......the waitstaff was extremely pleasant food was good and served in no time.......I personally did not find the place to be over priced at all. I will say this is a spot you to go for a quick bite...munchies....not a "meal"..... I will most definitely return when in the area.... read more

The plan was to drop my daughter off to meet her friends. The three out of four of us ordered. She was awaiting their arrival for a new table (we sat at a four-top). A booth opened and I requested it for my daughter and her friends. The couple at the table behind us were moved to the booth as the girls stood by our four-top. After an extended conversation with the.Manager , the girls were moved to the booth. My spouse felt the Cuban could have been more flavorful. My younger daughter enjoyed the milkshake (not up to Sugar Factory) but enjoyable. Communication is key! read more

It was my first time going to Jenavies Cafe and I must say that I left very satisfied. The food was amazing, but their milkshake was even better ! Their menu offers different Hispanic food like Patacón, Cuban sandwich, fritura, yaroa, bistec, empanadas, tacos and so much more. I don't remember but they have about 5 or 6 different milkshakes which all look yummy ! The place isn't huge, but I highly recommend people to make their way if you find yourself by Throgneck. It is a little pricey, but so worth it. read more

I love this place! This is your typical small cafe where you can get solid food for lunch or dinner. It definitely can get busy here. There are about a handful of tables here. You can order at the counter and sit down too. At least I could the last time I was there. They have all sorts of food here. Everything I had was so good. I enjoyed it a lot. I had the mac and cheese, dominican sliders and buffalo wings. Every city needs a place like Jenavies cafe where you can get really good food and feel at home. I would definitely come back. My only issues are that it's very tight inside and parking is almost impossible to find regularly. Other than that, I highly recommend you stop in this hidden gem in the Bronx. read more

I just happened to be walking by and decided to try it. This place is a combination of a heart attack and a sugar coma. I truly don't know what I was getting, I just simply wanted thee milkshakes. I only took one taste and knew that i wouldn't be able to finish it, the guilt of having a sugar over those was overwhelming. I really think their concept is great, but what about adding some basic shakes to the menu? Some basic shakes with a couple of optional add ons. I also order some chicken tenders with bacon fries...very tasty, but seriously greasy!! So 3 shakes and a chicken tender and two pastelitos total was $78!!!! I was in absolute shock... The only good thing about my experience was the young lady that took my order. She was very attentive and polite. I truly love supporting local businesses but I don't think I will ever go back, unnecessarily pricey and the menu does provide healthier choices. read more

Had this place bookmarked for months and decided to visit when PB said he wanted a fancy milkshake. I ordered the steak and onions and he had the fries chicken chunks. Everything was delicious. I dis ask for steak sauce b4 I tasted my food but immediately understood why they didn't have any... it's not needed at all. I only ate half my plate because I had to save room for my Reese's lover milkshake. I'm super glad I did. There were Reese's pieces, whipped cream, a pretzel and tons of candy bits in the shake itself. Yum yum YUM! read more

We ordered one of the shareable platters. It had wings, sliders, pastelitos, and fries. Everything was delicious! The platter brought enough food to eat there and take home.

Not worth it at all. We drove up to NY just to eat dinner. I can say they accommodated us even though we walked in right at closing which is why they get two stars other than that NO. The service horrible. They took over 15 minutes to even say hi or acknowledge us once we sat. Then we get our order taken and it took awhile to come out. When we got our food it was typical and nothing special. They forgot the cheese for the cheese fries and we asked them for some and they said we don't have anymore. Even though this was part of our order. We asked for other items which they forgot to give us and the young boy looked at us crazy and just kept walking. No apology no nothing for the bad service, messing up our order, and quality. We finally got our shakes which where made to go without asking us and it was so plain and something I could make at home. Never again! read more

Okay so I never give restaurants a two stars but in this situation it is a must. On 08/13/21 we celebrated my nephew birthday party here. We were a party of 13 people. We order multiple items on the menu. 5 of us order the scheese burger sliders and the remainder of us order other items. When the burgers came out we began to it and all noticed a bad taste from the burgers like a chemical taste. The kids immediately spit the burger out. I decided to check as you know kids can be picky but they were right. The burgers tasted as if chemicals have been on them. I called for one of the waiters and notified her. I explain to her what the burgers tasted like and he response was there is nothing I can do once the food is on the bill it stays on the bill. I was furious and ask for a manager because no way we will be billed for 5 orders of burgers that were inedible. The waiter theb goes she is the manager so I said okay so we are not going to eat these burgers and risk getting sick over it. We don't mind picking something else on the menu as the other items that we ordered tasted fine. The manager stated she had to go back to the chef and ask. She comes back and says the chef wants ti know what wrong with the burgers after we specifically told her what was wrong. Again we ask for them to be taken off the table and off the bill. She goes on to say once they are on the table she can not and we would have to pay for them. That she can only take one order off the bill the rest have to stay on. Meanwhile people these burgers were on the table for less then 1 mimute before we reported the taste. The manager then went on to say other people have ordered and never complained. Great customer service right!!! I went on to tell her maybe something spilled on this batch or the meat is old and she stated well everyone else who order never had a problem. I was extremely upset at this point . Like as a manager the customer always right abd in this case there was five customers saying the same thing!!!! I went one and told her wht dont you taste one of the burgers since it seems lime you don't believe us. Why would we lie we are hosting an entire party here about to spend over 500 dollars here. If we are spending money it will be on stuff that is edible. She goes on to say she will not taste it so I told her well ask the chef to make you a burger and you tell me if it taste good. She declined and went on to say im sorry but you will have to pay for these 5 orders despite what you are saying about them!!!! I ask her to call the owner and she declined saying she 100% sure the owner will make us pay too because no way nothing can be wrong with the sliders. Meanwhile everything else we order everyone was eating she still didn't believe the burgers were bad. I told her well unfortunately we will not being paying for them and if put on the bill we will deduct the burgers and pay for everything else. And this is where things got interesting!!!! I am still in shock. The manager and I repeat manager of Jenavies cafe!! Shrug her shoulders looked at all of us and said well unfortunately I will have to CALL THE POLICE on you then!!!! She threatened to call the police because we refused to oay for burgers that were barley touched that tasted like chemicals because she didnt BELIEVE us. ON TOP OF THIS SHE SAID SHE WILL CALL THE POLICE ON US IN FRONT OF THE KIDS AT THE PARTY. I looked at her and said call because the only one getting arrested is you and this burgers!!!! The way this suppose to be fine establishment decieded to handle this situation was distasteful and unprofessional!! The manager definitely needs to be trained on how to handle these thpes of situations. The kids were all worried they were going to be arrested because of her. The birthday boy was so scared how sad is this!!! He only 10 years old and worried tbe cops will be called on his family because of burgers that in all right the manager should of just took back and apologized for this happening but instead she handled this completely inappropriately. After I told her call the police then she left and came back telling us we will take the burgers back and off the bill but for next time this will not be the case. What ever on the bill stays and thats that. I politely told her well there will definitely never be a next time!!! This place has so much potenial but the manager is a nightmare no way you handle this situation like this!! Jenavie's you must do better as a foood establishment !! As for the owner shame on you for allowing this to go on. read more

1st time visit-a ten minute wait time to sit, place packed. Parking is found around the block or on E. Tremont Ave. Small place, very busy and slow service, young servers but not very friendly (little smiling would go a long way). After people left, floor under table was not cleaned. After food came, server never came back to check if we needed more water or anything. Had to wave server to place shake order and get the check, which took longer still. Giving the benefit of the doubt, it was a Sunday afternoon and workers were probable tired and over worked. Shakes cute but were over-priced because of the fancy decor on the outside. Variety food menu options for everyone and kids but not overwhelming --so thats good. colorful menus. Food: nice presentation, big portions, decent reliable food, nothing WOW about it but good taste. Some menu options:patacón, steak and onions, rice and beans, chicken and waffles, chicken tender, empanadas, etc read more

Super sad about this but I was super disappointed with my order of wings yesterday! We ordered through uber eats and it took forever for the order to even be prepared and then when I finally got my order which I was really excited for because not a lot of locations have lemon pepper wings I was immediately disappointed just looking at my wings I knew there was no flavor, they tasted like regular wings and kinda dry and for $10 just for 6 pieces smh! Terrible! I couldnt take it i had to season my own wings. My friends also got wings, the BBQ sauce was good, but the hot sauce wasn't amazing. Not worth the price. read more

Came here on Sunday with my boyfriend for brunch. First off, this is a more family-friendly atmosphere so expect children yelling. Second, their music is just a little too loud for noon. Third, if you're not here for their $16 milkshakes, don't bother coming. Menu wasn't to-die for. I waited 4 years to come here because the Instagram posts always seemed so appealing but this definitely didn't meet my expectations. You're better off going to Jimmy's Grand a few minutes away. read more

Where shall I start? Firstly, the servers wear mesh mask! We had a reservation for a specific time. Arrived 15 minutes earlier to have to wait outside for 30 minutes. We were advised to look at the menu and they will take our orders so that by the time we are seated we wouldn't have a long wait for our food. We were told to order our shakes at the time the same time we ordered our food. We told the server that we wanted to wait for the children to finish their food before putting in the shake order. However before our food order came out the server came up and insisted that we put the shake order in immediately. I declined the suggestion and Rose ended up taking over our table because we couldn't tolerate the unprofessional service of our server. As for the food, you're better off eating at Boston Market two blocks away on E. Tremont Ave and coming here to order to go shakes. The food lacked basic salt and pepper seasoning. Very bland, the only thing the kids ate from the platter was the chicken. The Moquitos lacked flavor. The chicken that is used in their nachos, tacos and pretty much anything that has shredded chicken is basic canned chicken. The only thing that was heavily seasoned (to the point where it was inedible) were the wings. The restaurant is small, the tables are not 6ft apart, they do not serve water unless you buy a bottle of water. They also claim that it would be a health violation to serve water in a cup.... yet they can serve milkshakes in a cup. We will never come back. If we want specialty milkshakes, we'll travel to queens for some Burgerology, at least this way the adults can enjoy a drink as well. read more

The place is nice and cute, love the colors and the environment but the customer service lacks the girls have a attitude. The portions are small when it comes to the regular food it's more like a snack unless you order the big platters. The prices end up coming out high and gratuity is already included in the bill. The shakes are hyped up to what they really are. Would i go there again ... NO But it's was something I had to try. read more

Friday's in the summer consists of me forcing my teenage son to spend time with me instead of his friends! LOL... so on a rainy Friday we popped in here. The space is small, way smaller than expected but they seem to make it work. We both had chicken wings & waffles. He had the sweet chili wings and I had the garlic parmesan wings. I did not enjoy my wings but my son inhaled his. My waffles weren't hot *somewhere btwn warm & cold* but they were good. I also placed a to go order of chicken wings *bbq* with waffles and shrimp Mac n Cheese. The food here was good for the most part but the service is lacking. They hand you your utensils wrapped in a napkin.... I unravel the napkin and only a knife is inside. So I had to walk to the counter to request a fork. After the food was brought out 30mins went past before a waitress checked on us. Additional napkins aren't given unless asked for *we're eating chicken wings, clearly we'll need extra* Gratuity is automatically added for bills over $50. I truly dislike when that policy isn't posted somewhere, the bill is given to you then you're forced to ask... It wasn't a horrible experience but I've had better service. I might come back for the milkshake being that I was too full to enjoy it while I was there. read more

My girlfriend found this place on Instagram and after salivating over their pictures for weeks we finally made up our minds and decided to visit. I'm not going to lie we did arrive pretty close to closing time so I wasn't expecting perfect service or anything like that but I'm glad to say that the service we did get was really good. Every worker in this place is really young but nice and attentive. We had a big party with us and although we were late we did not feel rushed. After we finally made up our minds and placed the orders the food was promptly brought out. I was definitely not let down. The portions were huge, the food was fresh and the milkshake was amazing! The parking is a bit rough around the area depending on the time you arrive but the actual restaurant is really comfortable. If you're super hungry, ready to cheat on your diet, and looking for some delicious fried food give this place a try. Won't be disappointed. read more

I like supporting local businesses and wish I could give this business 5 stars, but, I can't. The place has about 10 tables and already the benches are taped up. The staff is sweet and the food tastes great. Although I believe the shakes are over-priced and overly decorated, they do taste great. But, you can get a better shake in classier places for much less. The table service is absolutely terrible. You have to ask for plates and it doesn't occur to them to provide anything else unless you ask. The wait staff seems to be in their own little world. Since the tip is included in the price they probably think they don't have to work for it. Good place for a teen date. Definitely won't go there just my wife and I. We go for our kids. I could probably convince them to go elsewhere, though. Too bad because it has potential to be a good hangout spot. Go there anyway, and, see what you think. read more

Jenavies Cafe - Latin American Near Me - Bronx, New York

We were craving "comfort food" and icecream. I had absolutely no idea of this place, even though I am just a few blocks away. The strip they are on is somewhat hidden. I was thrown off by the interior. The walls are dirty and the place could really use a sprucing up. It is small and the menu is odd and limited- mostly frozen goods. We ordered a $55 platter that had chicken wings, chicken fingers, fries and mozzarella sticks. The mozzarella sticks were very good, but for the price, I could just go to the store and buy the frozen goods myself. Now to the real reason we went. They advertise those large busy icecream shakes that are very popular in places through out Manhattan, so it was nice not to have to travel down there. But for $20 ($18 plus $2 for a cookie sandwich), they need work. It is a nice experience, especially if you are with a kid like we were. But they weren't tasty. I do believe they have a great idea and potential, but work on the quality of goods and clean up the place. read more

This place wasn't worth the hype surrounded by it. It's small & there's nowhere to really wait inside but the weather was nice so waiting outside wasn't bad. When we were called to sit, there were dirty napkins & soda cans all over the floor where we were seated. I was asked if I wanted my milkshake with my food or after, I said with but still somehow got them well after I had packed my doggy bag. The food was good but the menu isn't that great - nothing you can't make out of your own freezer, honestly. The bathroom was also filthy, toilet paper all over the floor, fries behind the toilet(idk why or how), soap on the floor. It was ok in the moment since my 4 year old was excited for the pretty milkshake but overall, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

Place was recommended and was told how great it was. Let me just say, I've officially cut them off after a terrible experience at this place. Ambiance: the layout is not the best, and tables/furniture looks as if they were purchased at a second hand store. Only 1 restroom tucked away in the back Cornett behind a table. You have to squeeze through people as they're eating to enter. Service:TERRIBLE! Although we were seated right away, we were not given menus for about 20 minutes, and 30 minutes before we were given a glass of water. After ordering, we got the food about an hour and half after ordered. They must only have 1 cook. Rather than the table getting their food all at once, it was being brought out 1 at a time every 5 minutes until the entire table had their meals. So it's either be rude and eat your food as soon as it arrives, or waiting for all in your party to get their meal and eating it cold. Menu: very limited and over priced. Needs to be worked on Overall thoughts: place won't last unless the menu, service and food improves. read more

I really wanted this place to live up to the hype. Went here on a Sat night so I expected it to be a wait. I didn't expect to be seated amongst trash and food on the floor, but still trying to give this place the benefit that they had a long day. The service was slow and don't expect to get what you ordered after waiting a long time for your food. The milkshake was not bad but it was nothing to rave about. Actually the shake was the only saving grace. I wouldn't return here for a meal even if I was paid to. read more
