This is a close afterwork spot. We usually come for $2.Taco Tuesday and their mixed margarita drinks, which is $8.25. Their Beef Sliders are $3.00 for one and $6. Nachos are good as well. The servers are always nice and friendly. It's always a nice atmosphere. The only music that plays is in Spanish. We always have a good time. read more

Wuddup! I ordered churrasco skirt steak with french fries and salad. I tried my best to order the food in Español. The Atmosphere felt like I was in Dominican Republic. The service was OK. One thing I noticed they were trying to set up a Domino game while I was eating. The manager/Owner gave me a free Mofongo sample and frozen shot. I asked for medium- well on the skirt steak and it came out well-done. The bill came out to $31 and I tip $9. Last but not least, customers did smoke hookah and watch baseball game at the bar. I gave them 4 stars. Let me know if you guys agree or disagree with me on this review. read more

Natural juice is very good I get one every other day and only 4.50. The staff very sweet. When I have time I will sit and have a meal food looks scrumptious read more

They don't listen. You customize a food item and they put what they want anyways. Went to change the order and they still got it wrong

I went here to try their Campesino Burger and end up trying other things like the Fried combo, Dominican hot dog and pastelitos also the porch chimi however it was extremely busy and took a long time... also they made a couple mistakes in my order overall the food was ok but the pork chimi was really good! read more

I wish I had read these reviews before ordering. Ordered at 10:17pm - the person that answered ,I'm convinced, was partially death. - rude. Constantly asking me to hold on. - lied. Told me the delivery guy was out at 11:17pm - lied again. Told me the delivery guy was out to delivery at 11:48pm - 12:00am called to cancel order. Person on the phone was being extremely unprofessional. Told me I could not cancel that the food was already prepared and out for delivery. I told her to contact the driver on his cell phone. This is a modern era, everyone has a cell. She tells me she has to find his number. To call her back in 2 mins. -12:04am called her back. She has the audacity to ask a co worker while I'm on the phone with her, if anyone had the Mexican guys number. read more

Went to get 3 pork chimis and after getting home I realized they gave me 3 paninis!! Como el diablo me puse dio mio!! read more

I'm updating my review on this location. Firstly, the lady they have taking orders is extremely rude! I ordered the picadera combo of $20.00 which consists of 4 meats and two sides. The lady did not bother to ask me what sides I would like nor the type of meats. All she said was "ok...cual es la dirección" (ok... whats your address) I ask won't you be asking what type of meats and side I want? So she getting all feisty and is like "Dime dime what you want" had to repeat myself like 4 times before she said 40 min pick up or delivery. I said I will go pick it up. (I'm down the block from this location). 40 min later I go pick up my order, food was just sitting at the counter, I get home not to my surprise food is cold she give me one side instead of two. I call her back and explained I just went to pick up the food and I'm missing stuff. She tell me "bring me back the food and I'll give you what's missing" I told her are you aware of what you have just asked me to do? I had to explain to her we are in the middle of a pandemic with a virus whom we don't know who can and cannot be carrying this and your asking me to take something I have touched and opens back into the restaurant? When you could have easily said I will prepare you that missing side and you can come pick it up. She got upset and yelled "if you want you bring back the food and get the side." And hung up the phone. So this right here just make me wonder how many incorrect orders they may have taken back from the public and have gave it to the next customer. Management you need to train your staff better! This is bad business! read more

I will be filing a restaurant surcharge complaint against this restaurant for discriminatory pricing. The food here is decent. That aside, the service staff is rude and engages in deceptive practices. Staff will claim that items listed in the menu have changed in price and selectively overcharge you. Staff is so dismissive and flippant they make you feel like an intruder, not a customer. If you order the same items on Seamless, they will be delivered for the listed price without fail. Otherwise, when making a face-to-face order, staff will add fries to your meal without you asking and attempt to add from $2.00-$4.00 to your charge per entree. If any of you guys have been overcharged by this restaurant, and you probably were, make sure to file a Restaurant Surcharge complaint with city government linked down below.

The food is amazing, but costumer service suck DO NOT ORDER OVER THE PHONE! The lady the picked up the phone argued with me even when she was wrong saying she was right, when she wasn't mess up my order and I'm top of the matter had a an attitude like the food was free!!!! Better customer service .... read more

Really good food, worst customer service ever! Used to order 3 to 4 times every week, not anymore! there's always something missing when the delivery guy shows up (after 1 hr and 30 mins waiting that is) I live 3 blocks from them in Plimpton Ave. They refuse to send the right stuff after sending you the wrong order. Ahh, last 7 or 8 times I called to order No lemonade, they always run out early. read more

So 0 wasn't an option but every single time I have gone to ask for a smoothie they never have milk, soy milk, almond milk or any other non dairy option. The only option they have is evaporated milk, like seriously?? For a smoothie??? It pains me to write such a nasty review of a Latino owned business, especially a business thats in my neighborhood. My only hope is that they read all these reviews and adjust themselves. read more

I have to admit, Emergency Snack Bar was definitely awesome. Top notch service, nice mood. Easily the most flavourful dish was Dominican Hot Dog, me and my friend genuinely loved it. It was so delicious. Their service is always really friendly and attentive no matter how busy they are. Definitely a place to try out. read more

DONT WASTE YOUR TIME. You're going to wait too long, over pay, get a small portion and it'll probably be cold and that was in person - so imagine delivery. There are a lot of other local businesses with similar food, better prices, and better customer service. The woman in the front is flustered and overwhelmed, with little support. The manager is rude. I ended up returning my order because after waiting 40 minutes in person for a medium Yaroa it was cold. You guys don't deserve to be in business. You deserve 0 stars. Stop wasting people's time and money so YOU can get rich. With mediocre overrated food...trash. read more

Very disappointed with the quality of food. When they were on Edward L Grant, whatever was served out the kitchen was very flavorful 10/10 every-time i went or my friends. It had you recommending to anyone who asked where can they get good food at in the hood. Now with their new location i guess they forgot what quality food is. We ordered a cuban, quesadilla, y palito de queso. First lo palito de queso are super doughy, like where is the cheese? They should call them palito de masa. The quesadilla was luke warm and the chicken cold. The cuban ended being so sad, first they gave it to me in a hero bread, it wasn't flatten, and it didn't have the butter garlic taste that cubans have. Im not sure if since their move to the bigger location on Jesup Avenue has forced them to cut the quality in their food but i will not be returning to this establishment. read more

Order from here often....cant go wrong with anything on the menu The juices are amazing, the pastelitos are amazing. The fried combos are 2nd to none....Delivery can sometimes take long....but if you go in person you will see why. Place is always packed which ALWAYS MEANS food is fresh. read more

GAVE THIS PLACE ONE STAR BECAUSE THERE IS NO 0 STAR OPTION**** DONT EAT HERE**** So extremely disappointed with everything... from the food down to poor poor poor customer service. I ventured to try this place because I was so intrigued by their Instagram page... Silly ME! This is one of those too good to be true places. The food in pictures looks to die for but in person the restaurant itself and the food are SUBPAR TO SAY THE LEAST!!!! #1- we walk in and I literally had to tell the cashier lady that I was ready to order when she obviously was ignoring me and it was so obvious she herself was lost. I ordered a quesdilla and I ASKED IF IT CAME WITH LETTUCE AND TOMATO, Pica de gallo, sauces ALL THE WORKS ..... just like their pictures and how the advertise it!!! she says yes and I'm okay thanks and I order... When they're preparing the food I can see back into the kitchen because the place is tinyyyy, there's food crumbs everywhere and none of the cooks switch their gloves often, no hair nets NOTHING. Straight up unsanitary conditions and a harboring environment for food contamination. #2 - I get my food despite wanting to cancel my order- I leave withiut checking my food ( ALWAYS CHECK YOUR FOOD BEFORE LEAVING) dumb move because surely all they gave me was AN EXTREMELY SALTYYYYYY QUESIDILLA with only chicken and cheese with maybe 3 pieces of lettuce....... the salt content in that quesdilla was so high it was damn near unedible. It was awful so I contact the restaurant ask to speak to the manager, I explain what happened and how I felt misled by their pictures thinking I was going to receive great food and received anything but that... I went on to tell him I didn't want to leave a bad review and that I rather just call him to let them know what went wrong.... OH BOY he was sooooo arrogant. He blew it off with a "so what" attitude... he didn't offer a refund or didn't even offer to fix my meal!!! Crazyyyyy I was in shock. They come offf like such a good eating establishment that caters to the customer on Instagram but in person it's just another whole in the wall place with unsanitary conditions and bad customer service. LAST TIME I'll EVER GO AND WILL WARN ALL MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY ABOUT THIS MISLEADING PLACE. read more

They DO NOT DESERVE ANY BUSINESS FROM ANY HUMAN PERSON. Let pets go order food from them. The food isn't that good. Customer service is horrible. Maybe 1 person speaks English and they are always speaking to someone else while taking your order. They are always speaking while making the food so who knows how much spit gets into your sandwich/order. They get orders wrong 10/10 times so you waste time and have to go back or wait longer than the initial time they told you which was a lie in the first place. They deliver your order and its wrong and MISSING items. They close before they are supposed to. The list goes on and on. DO NOT give them your business if you care about ANY aspect of LIFE. That means if you care about flowers, dont give them your business. If you care about pickles, dont give them your business. WORST establishment Ive ever been to! read more

This place is very good, the way they cook the food really remind me the flavors of the chimis karts in DR. The pros: Cheap Flavorful Clean Nice staff Fast Good smoothies Sandwiches The cons: No tables, but they got some stuff attached to the walls where you can eat your food. I think that's the only con about this place, otherwise is pretty cool. Go a give it a try you won't be disappointed. Recommendation: get delivery or pick up if you live in the neighborhood. I live kind of far from this place, but they told me that if I order above $35 they can make it. It means from 170 st to 196 st, which is a lot of streets lol. I really like this place, even thought it is not the most healthy choice in the neighborhood. Come here on your cheat day! read more

I've lived in the neighborhood for years and when this place first opened I was excited to have a "snack bar" that I could go to and enjoy a quick bite. NOT ANYMORE. Like many others have stated the service is TERRIBLE. I can't stress it enough. If you're not of hispanic descent or bilingual you'll have a hard time getting through to whoever answers the phone. Once I had a lady hang up the phone on me because she did not understand what I was saying. Talk about BAD SERVICE. Another time I ordered late night and NEVER got my food. Good thing I didn't order with a card. If you do get to order... you better pray your meal comes correct. I ordered a chicken wrap once and got a chicken salad instead. They come in the same box so you don't know until you open it that they've got your order wrong. The food is hit or miss sometimes depending on TWO THINGS: if there is a rush of orders at the time you order OR which guy is in the back cooking. Now lets talk about the environment, yes its the hood and yes people will come and hang out but the people that hang out in there sometimes you just have to clutch your pearls and hope you can get in and out without any problems. CAN I also mention that they advertise free delivery but charge a $10 minimum even if its around the corner from the store. NOW THATS BOGUS! Keeping it real, they probably wont loose any service because it has become a staple among the latinos in the community. read more

All i can say is WTF. First off all you're advertising a Burger with Bacon, BBQ sauce Mayo and all that good stuff and just send a bun with a patty in between. Straight up disrespectful! Never again. The fries were soggy, tasted like they sat in oil all damn night. No extra ketchup, salt/pepper packets or napkins in bag. Like how are you a running establishment??? Im beyond pissed. Emergency Snack Bar sucks i wouldn't feed my dog this crap. read more

I am only giving this place 1 star because I can't give them 0 stars for how incompetent and unprofessional the people at this place are. I order 2 yaroas a regular and one and one with no meat along with other stuff at 3:00pm. My main problem was I repeatedly told them to not add meat to one of them. So 1 hr later they deliver my food, and yup they both had meat. Now I understand people make mistakes, so I give them a call and let them know what happen and the person on the phone told me that he'll make me new one but I would have to pick it up. Obviously anyone ordering food to be delivered is because they either can't go outside or simply don't want to. Now when I told the guy that I wanted it deliver he said he'll send someone to deliver it. Now 2 hours later, literally 2 hrs I called upset asking about my food and he goes to say "sorry u had a problem here blah blah blah" and tells me ok I'm sending someone. So my food comes at 7:05pm and come to see it's a disgusting yaroa. Literally the fries drenched in oil and cheese slapped right on top not melted, not fresh,nothing. You can tell it was sitting for a while. you can obviously tell they didn't care and just wanted to "get rid" of me. Needless to say it was disgusting I would not eat here again and I'll be crazy to recommend this place to anyone. Not only was the food gross but how they went about it was completely unacceptable. read more

Emergency Snack Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bronx, New York

I've walked into this place before - it's very small and supper busy. I've ordered to go mostly and it's usually chimi or cheese pasteleros. Last week I called and placed an order for delivery. I ordered 5 meals, they had said 30-40 min. It's a 5 min walk to the place, but I was being lazy so I had it delivered. The food arrived on time. And it was still warm. We all shared our food. Chimi clubs, cachapa, and bbq burger was good. First time ordering Yuca fries and they are pretty good. I will order again in the future. I wasn't a fan of the campesino burger- the tick layer of plátano as the bread doesn't seem appealing. But if you love plátanos - you'll enjoy it. I like their food - and I will probably order for delivery again. read more

The food it's really great but the delivery suck sometimes i have to wait almost two hours.

I swear, they get salt and mayo for free because there's no other explanation why they would put so much in the food.

Never disappointed with anything I order . They are consistent with the food and good customer service.

It's the best snack bar food was ready in just 15 minutes, the delivery guy came earlier than I expected. It's just as the name says "emergency snack bar" because they came as it was an emergency love it read more

Emergency Snack Bar - Juice Bars & Smoothies Near Me - Bronx, New York

food is good but service sucks. I placed my order at 2pm and they delivered 4:15pm. The lady on the phone didn't mention delivery starts at 4 pm so I called the restaurant at 3;45pm and the delivery guy picks up the phone and insist that he can help me because he knows everything, I asked him 3 times to please pass the phone to one of the ladies because a delivery guys has nothing to do with who cooks the food and he rudely asked the girl "grab the phone and dismiss this girl please".. than the lady on the phone says ... you can just return your order she didn't let me speak or ask me anything. 15 minutes later the food is at my door. really ? read more

Considering food choices in this area this place definitely satisfies! My delivery waiting time was about 40 mins on a Friday night. The food taste good and portions are generous. The dominican hot dog was good!! The campesinito burger was also good but the plantain was a little off. Definitely will be ordering from here again. I suggest you give the place a chance, glad I did. read more

This place is only small inside but their food is the best, specially the Pizzadilla .

Unorganized, unprofessional, no customer service. Ordered food for pickup and waited 45 for the order to be ready for pickup, only to get there and my order was not even made. Why have the option to order online of you can't keep up with orders. Big disappointment and I will not be returning to that place of business. They need to get it together. People order online in order to jut go and pick it up. If I wanted to wait while my food was being made I wouldn't have ordered in advance. read more

DO NOT EAT HERE! I recently ordered from this place for my daughter and I, worst food I've ever gotten in my life. My daughter who is allergic to tomatoes ordered a bacon cheese burger with no tomatoes and when the food got here, the whole damn tomato garden was in my daughters burger and guess where was the bacon ??!? We don't know because it wasn't there neither. Burger looked soggy so i wasted my money on it. My food sucked as well. I could of gotten Burger King for all this. read more
