    My friend asked me to be her bridesmaid at La Masa!

    This is a local bronx spot that is absolutely super cute. First off the folks in there are just so friendly, and the food is pretty yummy! I went there one time for my birthday and I liked it so much that I wanted to come back. My friend actually brought me here initially and asked me to be her bridesmaid! In the picture I have posted on here you can see the mini empanadas, which is my go to favorite, they have so many! What's cool to know is that the empanadas have printed on them which empanada they are so there is no confusion as to what is inside the empanada. Cute spot in the BX, totally coming back! Highlight--Empanadas Baybee!!!

    The service was great. They were close to closing and they still accommodated us and didn't make us feel rushed. I only tried 3 things. One was the chicharron appetizer that came with Guac and tostones. Super fresh guac and tostones. The chicharron was also fresh and flavored well. I had a guava and cheese empanada and a steak and onions. They were both delicious. I also had a tres leche cake that I didn't take a picture of but it's cool cause it wasn't great. Tasted like it had been sitting in that display refrigerator for a while. Otherwise it was good. I'll go back for a full meal

    We were so happy to find a vegan friendly restaurant in the Bronx. La Masa has a welcoming bakery/restaurant vibe with slow reggeaton planning in the background. We came the end of January so the decorations were Valentine's Day themed with dim lights on the ceilings There were many options to choose from and options to sub meat meals with meatless ground beef. If you are coming for alcoholic drink they have some great cocktails as well. We both ordered the arroz con meatless ground with a side of beans and everything was seasoned well and tasted amazing. The meal came with 3 fried sweet maduro. I loved the savory sweet combination. I feel satisfied and full

    Una experiencia horrible Toda la comida que pedimos estaba mala fría sin sabor la comida de los niños congelada al parecer no la cosinaron bien en fin terminamos Vomitando JAMÁS volvería a comer en ese lugar

    If you're looking for vegan Spanish food, look no further than La Masa. This corner restaurant has all the Colombian vibes with its music and flavorful food. They have a nice selection of vegan options to go with their regular menu as well.

    Food was really good. Prices were reasonable and service was good. It was early evening not too many customers so it was nice.

    I have gone several times for the lunch menu & had great servers such as Melissa & Evel! I enjoy the affordable lunch specials and great staff members. The Columbian food is fresh & the Pan De Bono is scrumptious. In addition the rum punch is exquisite. go ahead and give them a chance to prove me wrong!

    So good that I want the recipe.

    This restaurant is one of the most welcoming places I have visited in all of New York City. I was recovering from a tooth extraction when I walked in the door. It's tiring to have to think of "smushy" foods to eat 35x a week. I told the waitress that I just wanted the best smushy food on the menu. She brought me a fried plantain topped with cheese with a side of red beans and rice. Delicious with perfect serving sizes. I also told her I wanted a mug of coffee, half of which was milk. Literally everyone gets this order wrong. They hear "half-and-half", they give me black coffee, they assume by half, I mean three splashes. People get this order wrong so often that a lot of times I just don't even bother expressing what I wanted. She nailed it. I left the restaurant to catch a bus to downtown Manhattan. Incredibly long story short, I never made it back on the bus. My phone ran out of batteries, there were bus stops that didn't exist, buses I boarded that went the wrong way. A big disaster. So I was riding yet another bus when I saw this restaurant on the horizon. Cell phone dead, no way of telling my ballet instructor that I'm not going to make it to the performing arts center, no cabs to hail, no way to call for an Uber. I decided to get off the bus to find my nice "smushy" food waitress again. I walk in, and she is not behind the counter. Oh no. Now what? If you can believe it, this restaurant employs at least two nice young women. A girl named Laura called me an Uber, and insisted that I don't even need to reimburse her?! I made it to the performing arts center at 2:43 for a 2:45 PM arrival, only thanks to this incredibly compassionate woman who works there. GO!

I had a young lady tell me about some of the pastries they had to offer, I would have to return to try because a lot of them already had sold out for the day. From what I had it was amazingly good along with some of their in house espresso. I also saw that in the back of the bakery was a connected restaurant. So it seems you can dine there as well, I saw a big bar in the back. I don't know if I would return to this location because they do have other restaurants that I believe is closer to me, that I would want to visit. Either or I would definitely want to buy some more of that bread. I'll give them a thumb up for now. Happy Yelping!

When I called the restaurant to ask them to send the missing items, they were rude and extremely unprofessional. I called again to speak with someone else and they refused to let me speak to the manager. The person who answered the telephone told me; "Food gets cold. It happens. What do you think we can do about that?!". He also told me I would have to go to the restaurant to retrieve the missing items. He was short with me and extremely disrespectful. This kind of behavior is despicable and unacceptable. I will tell all of my friends and family members not to patronize this establishment.

    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.

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.
