    This is one of my favorite restaurants back in the area. They were closed during the pandemic and seeing them open again is exciting! The restaurant is mainly takeout as of right now but had let us know they will be returning with their dine in service soon. We were lucky enough to get a table today and the person who attended us was amazing in making sure we had everything we need despite being very busy from takeout orders. The food is amazing, it's my favorite Dominican place to eat from, which says a lot as there are many Dominican restaurants in NYC. All the food there is delicious and seasoned well. I've never had a complaint in all the times I've been there. I recommend this to anyone in the area. And if you have a car you could always park across the street!

    We all know how useful Yelp can be in a clutch, but is even better in a pinch when you personally know a couple of the reviewers of an establishment that catches your eye. This was the case in point on Saturday. My truck needed some new shoes so of course I contacted my mechanic and he set the wheels in motion both figuratively & literally. While waiting I realized I hadn't eaten breakfast and it was well after 2pm. Using the same mechanic since I first got my license I was pretty confident that after 10+ years I knew the eateries in the area. For the most part I was correct I have seen Leche y Miel a 1000 times but never ventured in. So when it popped up on yelp with the reviews of my yelp buddies Bernice N. and Abigail R. it was official that I couldn't just pass by yet again. Small and cozy with tables up front and an open kitchen at the back, it was decorated just enough for the holiday season. I was greeted by one of the two young men working the front of the house and seated immediately. Even though I perused the menu ordering was a breeze. I simply went with a suggestion from each of the ladies' reviews. Smoked shrimp mofonguitos with parmesan cheese ($7) to start and the fried chicken and waffles with chopped bacon and cheddar cheese ($12) as my entrée. All to be washed down by a refreshing strawberry lemonade ($4). Everything was delish and well prepared. The appetizer was tasty and the parmesan cheese was a good touch, I think it can benefit from the addition of a sauce to enhance the experience. The chicken and waffles were perfect with a generous portion of chicharrones de pollo (fried boneless dark meat chicken chunks). I subbed the bacon for turkey bacon without a problem. Originally I was going to request that the chopped bacon and cheddar cheese be left out but was glad I didn't because it added something extra and the sharpness of the cheddar cheese helped to cut the sweetness. Overall a great foodie experience to help me kill time and the reviews of my Yelp amigos didn't steer me wrong, thanks ladies. Just A Note: Different Daily Lunch Specials from 11am-4pm only Monday -Friday. A few off the street parking spots right in front but they are shared by the other two businesses as well.

    So Im adding the final star to this place because I feel they earned it. Im just in love with this place for my spanish food fix. Now some of you may of had better, and yes I admit so have I, but when it comes to just a nice homie neighborhood spot that you just wanna sit and dine in, with such lovely owners who cares about the customers, and the food they put out, well this is the place for you. Its really nice to have this kind of resaurant around, being in the Bronx, you have a huge selection of spanish-style places, and this one is now in my top 10, maybe my number #1. I like that I can go here and get some table side, hot food cooked right on the spot for me. F.Y.I. the beverages are awesome! So make your visit today. You might see me there :D

    Leche y Miel was the first place I came when I arrived to New York. The one thing I love about this city is how diverse the food is. I knew I wanted plantains and Leche y Miel seemed to fit the bill. When I walked in I was immediately greeted by the chef and was told to find a good spot to sit, so I obliged. We were given menus and tried lunch specials. I got the chicken with rice and my boyfriend got the beef and plain rice with red beans. I also ordered plantains on the side. The waitress was incredibly accommodating. She made sure our drinks were refilled and continuously checked on our well-being. My chicken was perfection. It was fried chicken bits but it was seasoned incredibly. The chef definitely knew what he was doing. The rice and black bean was flavorless. While I don't think that either has a real taste, I wanted something more to give it flavor. The plantains were the perfect addition to the plate. They were well-cooked and of course I loved them. The beef plate was not as good as the chicken plate. The plate was definitely smaller and had less beef as well. But, the rice and red beans did have a little more flavor than the black beans and rice. Because I checked in on yelp, I got a free dessert. We had to try tres leches (it was my first time). We made the best decision possible. We ate the tres leches in 30 seconds or less it was so good. Definitely visiting again!

    This place is so bomb. The menu has a little something for everyone. The service is excellent, we were greeted by vibrant, upbeat staff that checked up on us just the right amount of times( you know, not negligent but also not hovering and annoying). This time I ordered the grilled chicken breast with Parmesan mashed potatoes and mixed veggies. At first glance it looks like a bland dish. Plated well, but you can't see the flavors but looks are deceiving. The chicken was so juicy and perfectly seasoned along with the mashed potatoes and the veggies are in some sort of butter sauce, bomb. The deep fried bread pudding is a MUST TRY. Crispy on the outside, Soft creamy custard drenched inside and a sauce to die for. This reminded me of bread pudding from New Orleans just a different texture. I have been here a few times now and they never disappoint.

    Bread Pudding!  One of the best there is! The sauce is magnificent.  A must try if you are in this area.

    Absolutely one of the best restaurants in the neighborhood. I am extremely picky about freshness and quality. I have tried quite a bit of things on the menu and have been pleasantly pleased each time. Superb customer service with a quick delivery. What else could you ask for? I highly recommend for lunch specials. You definitely need to try the coconut flan, carrot cake, and bread pudding! Creamy Coconut FlanShrimp MofonguitosShredded Skirt Steak

    I Went on a Saturday around 1pm me and my fiancé were seated quickly. There were couples and groups of family inside. The restaurant is quiet and the service is excellent everyone is very attentive and they make sure you're being taken care of. The first thing we got was water.... check lol nothing worse than waiting around for water. We started with appetizers. We ordered the Mofongitos they were delicious and very filling. I got some freshly squeezed orange juices as well and it was nice and fluff wanted more but I wanted to leave space for the food. For entrees we had chicken and waffles wow waffles were perfect chicken had a sweet touch to them and it was a lot of food but my fiancé ate it all lol I had the grilled angus steak with tostones and that was perfect as well as the tostones those were nice and fat and they actually cooked the meat how I like it medium rare! Finally I been to other local restaurant that just bring u well done and don't know what the hell they doing it just don't care . It was my first time here and they do offer a dessert if you check in. I would definitely come back I had a great Saturday with great food. And my fiancé was satisfied as well. On top of that the price we found to be very reasonable .

    The office wanted something different for take out and we picked this little neighborhood spot in the Bronx. If you didn't know it was there you might easily miss it. For those that know the neighborhood, this venue is on Broadway between the gym and the Carvel. This is around the corner from the Police Station and McD's. A family run business, lunch time seemed a bit disorganized, the abuela knocking over the paprika spilling it all over the place and many of the items we ordered not available. The vegetable chicken soup was full of big chunky veggies. Oxtails with yellow rice and red beans looked great but were sadly bland. The spiced garbanzos and mofongitos with shrimp were delicious. The bread pudding, epic. We'll be back for more, I'm sure.

    I stopped in here because I was getting my tires upgraded across this street... What a pleasant surprise. The food was fresh, tasty, and the service was fantastic. I also had fresh green juice that was right on the money. This isn't the type of place a would normally patron but I will certainly be back!!

    I have never heard of this establishment before my friend invited me for dinner. The restaurant is small and cute for family dinners. I kept it simple and ordered the chicken and rice with beans while my friend ordered oxtails with tostones. Both dishes were great. I did feel the chicken was a little dry so I asked for more garlic sauce. As far as service, the restaurant wasn't busy surprisingly for a Friday night, but our waiter wasn't as attentive as I wouldn't liked but was sweet. I would come again if I were in the area but I wasn't completely blown away. I feel that it's on the same tier as most Spanish restaurants. I'd probably come again and try something else off the menu to be sure my review is the same.

    Great place for lunch!!! Enough tables to not feel cramped. Price range on menu is good. Options are great. I had the shredded skirt steak with rice beans and plátanos maduros. $17 Very tasty. Very friendly staff. Parking is limited.

    I decided to go here for Sunday brunch after reading all the good reviews. The location isn't the easiest to spot while driving and parking is tight in the area. The restaurant had a fair amount of people but a few open seats. So we didn't have to wait. We ordered coffee and an appetizer to start until we decided what we wanted for our main course. After the server returned we ordered our main course and another coffee. The appitizer comes and we devour it! Very delicious! The coffee I ordered never comes and the rest of the food we ordered never comes either. We waited 30+ minutes and knew something was up when people who came after us ordered and got their food. Someone even came up to our table to ask us how we we're doing and told us our food is coming. We waited and waited some more... No food! Finally we ask what's up and we're told the food order was never put into their system. What?? We decide to leave and at this time the person I'm assuming is the manager starts with the excuses. Here we go! There was a delay in the kitchen... Well the delay didn't stop the several other people who came after us to get their food though right?? If you are the owner/manager of a business don't give your customers excuses about everything and everyone. Just FIX IT!! Apologize and find fix it! I don't doubt the food here is good but terrible service will turn anyone away from good food. This was my first visit here and it wasn't a good one.

    Came with some friends who ate here before and recommended the Dominican food here. While service…read morewas a bit slow, and you're charged for water (no tap, only bottle), food was bomb. I got the fried Boca chica red snapper fish with yucca fries. Fish was fried to perfection. Fries were delicious and in an addictive garlicky sauce. I was disappointed because they have a specials menu but the waiter said none of the specials were available (and they had an oxtail stew for Sunday which would've been bomb)! My husbands fried chicken dish was so good. The wings, thigh, and drumstick were fried to perfection and super juicy inside. The tostones were delish too! There is valet parking but i think it's $15.

    I rarely leave one-star reviews, but this experience--and the response to my feedback--left me with…read moreno choice. My friends and I arrived at Sho J Oregano's Crescent Avenue location at approximately 9:45 PM. The restaurant's posted closing time was 10:00 PM, yet we were told they would not seat us. Disappointed but willing to give them another chance, we paid for a taxi to their White Plains Road location, which was listed as being open until 11:00 PM. We arrived around 10:00 PM only to be told that they were also closed and would not serve us. The result? We wasted time, money on transportation, and an entire evening chasing a meal at a restaurant that was supposedly open. What made the experience even more disappointing was the response after I shared my review. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or apologizing for the confusion, the restaurant chose to challenge my account. I have no reason to misrepresent what happened. My review reflects exactly what my group experienced that evening. This isn't about expecting to be served after closing. It's about arriving during the posted business hours at two separate locations and being turned away both times. If the kitchen closes early or there is a last-seating policy, that information should be clearly posted online and at the restaurant. Customers shouldn't have to guess whether "open" actually means the business is still serving guests. For a restaurant that has received so much praise, I expected far better customer service and accountability. Great food can earn awards, but honesty, consistency, and respect for customers are what earn loyalty. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend making a special trip here unless you're prepared for the possibility that the posted hours may not reflect when they'll actually serve customers.

The food is delicious, very well seasoned and presented well…read more The ambiance is amazing as the crew came in and sang happy birthday to one of our guests and did so in an authentic Dominican way, it felt like we were in the island. The staff were fantastic. They offer valet parking which is great for the area which is really crowded. The churrasco was so good I could have eaten another one. The only problem I encountered was that the Mofongo with Chicharron although it tasted great the, it was served in a small pilon, wooden bowl used to mash the plantains, with the chicharron on top. They poured garlic sauce over the top and it made a mess all over the bowl. Additionally the bowl was too small for you to eat it without pouring it into the plate. They should reconsider how they serve it because it was very messy to eat. The flan though was perfectly made, reminding me of Puerto Rican flan, light and airy. A really nice experience at this place, worth another visit.
