I have to admit I order way too much from this place. Maybe an average of 3-4 times a month…read more I did have a chance to dine here the first time I discovered this place and was immediately blown away. So my obsession was immediate and continued till this day. The chicken is just out of this world. I can't even fathom how they make it. They absolutely have to marinate it and slow cook it for hours. It's packed with immense flavor. Just soaked in the skin all the way down to the meat. I'm salivating just thinking about it now as it's in my fridge haha. That's the best part of this place imo. The rice is equally good. And we've had the lomo Saltado which is fries soaked in a savory sauce with onions and meat. Very good flavor as well. I just love this place and I am proud to say I am a super regular here.

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.

But being a resident of Mt Vernon for almost 2 years, I can't say I knew of any good Spanish restaurant. Figured I'd give yelp a try to see what I could find. Came across this little jem and let's just say that soup hit the spot!! And the Morir soñando is so good. Their freshly squeezed orange juice is definitely a must too to top off the whole order. Delivery was prompt, so I totally enjoyed the hot food. Thank you. Can't wait to dine in one day.

My issue is every time I go to eat and it's time to pay, they charge me a different price every time. Saturday 10/3 I went to order tres Golpes and a coffee ( by the way I order the same thing ( EVERY TIME I GO THERE)! I was charged an additional $1.50 for the aluminum tray and the lid. I sucked it up( paid) because that's what I wanted to eat. But how I go today and I decided to eat my food at restaurant AND still got charged an additional $1.50 because it was 1:30 pm meanwhile the tray with the mango was at the display of food!!! Again I had to suck it up. But the fact that the waitress just decided what they want to charge is wild. A few people I know go there and when I told them about my issue. Their respond was Oh No! That's bullsh!!!!!!!!!!. So I personally will no longer go there to eat.

They need to hire more diverse people there who can connect with all sorts cultures within the community and not just one or better yet their own and have better customer service.
