    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

    Empanadas
    John R.

    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

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

    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

    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!!!

    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.

    Once again I have to say this us such a great restaurant to have in Morris Park, great friendly Service with great attitude, food is always consistently good. Great drinks and desserts. Elizabeth the server is top notch and great. We love coming here, such a friendly, and comfortable environment. Highly reccomend

    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've passed by this place countless times whenever I'm at Bay Plaza Mall. I don't usually gravitate…read moretoward mall-area dining, but I was finally enticed to try it after hearing good things about their other locations. I decided to sit at the bar since, in my experience, service is usually better there but this time, that wasn't the case. I understand that staff may need time to set up, but repeatedly walking past someone who is clearly trying to make eye contact is simply rude. It seemed like they had plenty of staff, but responsibilities weren't distributed effectively. The bartender was juggling far too much: handling bar guests, multiple tables, making drinks, pouring water, and running food from the kitchen, all while the floor staff appeared bored and slow-moving. Because of that imbalance, the bar was largely neglected. I genuinely felt bad asking for anything, but a drink refill or even a brief check in would have been appreciated. I noticed another nearby table experiencing the same issue, and we bonded over it. Thankfully, we were both seasoned diners and didn't make a scene. Poor service is frustrating, but it's never an excuse to be unkind. I don't blame the bartender at all, this is clearly a management issue. Better training and clearly defined roles would go a long way in improving the service flow. Despite the service hiccup, I'm still giving them four stars because I believe this is a small, fixable issue with better management. The snacks we tried were good. The beef and chicken empanadas were hot and flavorful. The pork was a bit dry, but that's somewhat expected with chicharrón and nothing a little sauce can't fix. The margaritas were also really nice and expertly made. Overall, there's a solid foundation here. With improved service organization, this could easily be a great experience.

    I ordered $113.31worth of food to be delivered to my home. When the food arrived it was cold and…read morethere were 4 missing items. 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.

The cheese sticks are a must when you visit. They are perfectly breaded, fried golden, crispy on the outside and melty on the inside. They come out hot, stretchy, and exactly what you want late at night. Their empanadas? Fire. The beef is juicy and packed with flavor, the chicken one is tender and well-seasoned, and that pink sauce... yeah, that sauce is elite. Creamy, tangy, with just enough kick to make you keep dipping until it's gone. I also ordered the chicken cachapa -- soft, slightly sweet corn pancake, stuffed generously and cooked just right. It's comforting, filling, and hits different when you're craving something authentic. Also on a late night on Dyckman, doesn't get better than this. The juices are fresh and refreshing, the perfect balance to everything savory. Service is quick and straight to the point, exactly what you need whether you're grabbing takeout or sliding into one of the small tables to eat in. The spot itself is small and cozy, no-frills, real neighborhood vibes all day. Overall, this is a classic Dyckman late-night Venezuelan staple. Great food, quick service, and flavors that always come through. If you know, you know.

This was a really good sandwich. I also picked me up some green sauce to go. Customer service was good, I was allow to sample a drink called Papelon and it quite refreshing. It had the taste of a lemonade and tea mixed together. The restaurant is big enough to dine inside or out with bathroom availability. I would definitely visit this place again for more dishes that I'm not familiar with. I'm giving thumbs up and Happy Yelping!
