The food here is great !! A huge variety of really good food. Service is fantastic very friendly. Definitely coming back!

So I came here after service and it was good. I was very surprised because I have never been here and I always hear about it. So first the service was good it was one person taking orders and helping with the food. He was nice and attentive. Second, I ordered chicken and waffles which was good but they add cheese and bacon to this dish which made me a bit nervous because I was concerned it would throw the flavor off but not it was good. I would say next time no cheese, but overall the food was good. The waffle had a good flavor sweet and fresh, a little overcooked for my preference but it was good. The chicken was good and had good flavor. My friend she ordered the tres golpes with malanga and that was delicious. It was really good. We also ordered juices, I didn't like my juice it was an oatmeal with lemon juice. The place is nice like going over to a friends house. I would definitely go back and I would try other dishes, as well. read more

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Fried Chicken and Waffles with Chopped Bacon Cheddar Cheese - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

We got some tasty takeout for the family here. In addition to the traditional Dominican food, there was a little bit of everything to please a crowd. Everything we ordered was good including the chicken chunks, tostones, salmon and pasta. They staff was very nice as well. read more

WARNING: THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. Do not waste your money here! The so-called 'churrasco' was NOT real meat -- it came out as a short, thick slab of something synthetic-tasting with zero natural fibers. The 'rabo' was a joke, drowned in eggplant and completely flavorless. On top of that, the prices are outrageously high for what is essentially inedible food. This place is robbing customers blind. They should be investigated, fined, and shut down. I wouldn't recommend this restaurant to my worst enemy. *** To the owner- You've been reported. You can reply to someone else that hasn't eaten there with this nonsense. read more

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! read more

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Pollo al Horno Chicharrones de Pollo con Tostones Rabo Gulsado con Berenjena Asada, Arroz y Plantano Maduro - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

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. read more

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 read more

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! read more

I wasn't paying attention much when I ordered, the two other restaurant that I wanted to eat at were closed randomly. Thank god they were open. And thank god the other restaurants were closed. I spend about 40 on food and boy. It was worth 100. Everything I had was absolutely amazing even after the 10 minute walk home. And I was so full from my entire I saved the salad for the next day! And it was still perfect! I'm going to miss this place when I go home. read more

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 read more

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Bread Pudding! One of the best there is! The sauce is magnificent. A must try if you are in this area. - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

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. read more

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 . read more

I have delayed writing my review for Leche Y Miel for quite a while not sure why. My family and I first visited shortly after they opened up. They are like family now. Altagracia has treated us at family and we feel at home here. I think what really impressed me was the genuine kind nature of the owners. I remember when Chef Rideiby would see us at the supermarket he would go out of his way to shake our hands and make my son feel special and will almost always personally bring my son's favorite dish to him when we visit. Knowing my son liked maduro (ripe/sweet plantains ) he would also make sure he had a stock on hand. Consistency is the name of this game and is why they are deserving of 5 stars. I have visited maybe 50 times and while every now and then there are little things off mostly when the owners aren't there. Shrug! Go figure. Lol! It is consistently sound, delicious and a pleasant experience that you never regret visiting. Everything is made to order so it's a bit slower than most "pre prepped" places. You can see everyone in a rush as your food is being made quite nice really. The natural juices and smoothies/shakes are delicious and refreshing you can't go wrong with anyone, a great deal at $4 and filling too. There are a few items that I rave about here, the as perfect as can get seasoning mix for the fried chicken bits should be sold on grocery shelves. Delicious! Someone make it happen. The caramel/butterscoth sauce chef uses for the bread pudding (which is delish on its own) should be sold worldwide. The chimichurri sauce is delicious and yes you know should be sold at the grocery stores. Food is consistent. Food is delicious. Feels like home. You should go. Not to miss: -Get a smoothie -Get the salads any of them -Chicken chunks with tostones. -Oxtail has smoked eggplant-yum -Fish in Creole sauce -Bread pudding -Ribeye or Skirt Steak with Chimichurri read more

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. read more

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.

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

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. read more

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

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. read more

YOO but forreal the best thing on the menu which gives me so much joy is the bread pudding. I love love love eating from leche y miel and the workers are so kind. cant wait for them to offer indoor dining again read more

We stopped by here after a visit to Wave Hill nearby. Very reasonably priced good food. I had a cheeseburger with seasoned fries. The burger was juicy to the point of squirting and running down my hands holding the burger. My wife had the steak, which was tasty and very tender. The chef was very nice and stopped by to speak with us. He gave us a flan dessert on the house. This was my first experience with flan, and it was better than I expected. read more

We ordered shrimp with cheesy grits, skirt stake with rice and sweet plantains, Chicken(dark meat) with vegetables. Very flavorful and savory dishes!

Ambiance = good. (Some better lighting or candles would bump this place up!) Service = good. (Could be more attentive but it's not terrible!) Food = amaaaaaazing! I'd suggest you get real food(something with rice, potatoes, steak, chicken or pork, seafood, etc.) I ate the Herb Grilled Chicken Breast which comes with Parmesan mashed potatoes(+broccoli, carrots, asparagus, & MUSHROOMS) -- It was delicious, large amounts of mashed potato and a nice piece of chicken breast. -- I'd recommend it, but I must try the steal first before making a real recommendation. *do not get the chipotle quesadilla(they'll burn it)* OH WAIT! Their drinks, I definitely recommend the passion fruit drink. SOOOO F*******n goood! & tres Leche cake is bomb.com +++ prices are great! Stop by for lunch 12-4 every weekday, they've got great happy hour/lunch deals. read more

Always have great food here..sometimes skimpy with the chicharron, pero, no disappointment with flavor

Hidden gem in the Bronx! I this place looks like it's always closed but it's not! My only advise to the owner would be update your store front so people can find you!!! read more

This was a last minute take out decision for our group. If the staff and the patrons are any indication, this place is as authentic as they come. We got: Roasted chicken legs and thighs - The flavor was fine and I liked the crisp on the chicken skin but the meat was way too dry. I could only eat it after pouring a lot of the bean water on it. 2/5 Braised oxtail with roasted eggplant - This was great. The eggplant is stewed into the oxtail sauce and gives it a unique flavor. 4/5 Shredded skirt steak - I guess this is their version of carne ripiada (aka ropa vieja in Cuba). They went a bit overboard with the salt but eating it with the rice helps balance it a bit and brings out the flavor of the dish better. 3/5 I would come back here again to try some of their other stuff. While I waited for my takeout, I noticed that the staff was pretty friendly and very accommodating. Seems like a good place to come with the family. read more

Standard Dominican Dishes. Nothing out of this world. The service was lackluster at best.

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Had this delicious smoked salmon and steamed veggies - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

What great Dominican food and service. We were in the Bronx for an interview at a nearby school and decided to walk over. This place is right next to the subway, which is so convenient. Food: WOW! Can't recall what we ordered, but it was tostones (fried plantains) with fried pork belly. I've had this dish in different variations in Puerto Rico and other restaurants, but this was the best one so far. Pork belly was a tad over-fried, not so it was dry but so it was just crispy and chewy enough to munch on. Yum. Tostones can be so bad if done wrong, but these managed to not be dry frisbees and, with the specially mixed mayo-ketchup sauce (which is definitely not plain mayo and ketchup, it is AMAZING), the dinner was transformed. I will say that dish probably needs something that isn't fried, because eating the whole thing got a little repetitive. We got the bread pudding for dessert. It isn't American bread pudding, it is like fried triangles of custardy dense cake with caramelized bananas and strawberries on top. OMG one of the best desserts I remember ever having. Service: The chef came out twice to ask about the food, and even presented us with extra dessert after we told the waiter we checked in on Yelp to get the free dessert. He also gave us extra cilantro sauce with our tostones when he saw our plates. Server was so sweet. read more

I came here on a whim. Was hungry but I'm not big on eating just anything. And sure it's easy to just go to McDonald's or some odd hole in the wall place but I decided to come here and OH MAH Gawd!!!!! This is such a hidden jem. The food is amazing. I ordered garlic shrimp with mashed malanga (which is a delicious root veggie and wayyyyyy better than potatoes) and I'm like...I don't want to finish my meal because I'm going to be sad that I can't continue to eat it. That's how good this is. And their chinola (passion fruit) juice...dude I feel like I'm back in DR I can't wait to come back here. I'm ordering habichuelas con dulce to go. Yuppppppp I am! read more

Leche y Miel is a Dominican cuisine wonderland. I had the chicharron de pollo con tostones, basic I know but it was so delicious and felt guilt free, usually this is a dish that's drenched in oil and usually lazily made from a truck at 2am. Leche y Miel's dish was perfectly made, fresh down to every piece of delicious chicken. Also a huge portion for the price. The service was great, had a young kid as our serve but he was very knowledgeable and had great manners. This is definitely a great place, also Michelin Recommended. Also had the banana bread pudding with the free check in offer, it was sweet, warm and fresh, there was not even a word spoken while consuming it, it was that good !!! Try this place and let's keep them in business, this is a restaurant that deserves its right to shine!! read more

Leche Y Miel Restaurant - Churrasco with Mashed Potatoes - Comfort Food Near Me - Bronx, New York

Should have known when we entered and most tables are unclean. Dishes not  cleared away and trash on at least 3 tables. Yikes! I ordered the soup while he ordered the oxtail only to be told that they ran out of rice?  Of rice? How can they run out of rice? So we order yucca fries. They're out of that too...   guess we'll take what you do have.  Mashed potatoes. Sigh. Water took forever to come. When it did there were white specks in it. Asked for another one. More specks.  Ended up just saying forget it. After all I did have water in the car.... Chicken and vegetable soup was very basic. It was pieces of chicken cutlets with many different types of vegetables in a thin broth. Not what I expected. Oxtail came with mashed potatoes and fried plantains. Also just ok. Bread pudding was good.  Though when we tried to use the free check-in for each of us only to be told it's one free dessert per table. This wasn't indicated on the check-in.   Another wait for the check to come. Can't tell you how disappointed we were with this experience. read more

A little storefront right under the 1 train. Clean and cool on a very hot day. I had a passionfruit drink that was tremendous. Friendly waitstaff, good menu, inexpensive.

Great. Loved all of the dishes- shrimp avocado salad, salmon with veggies, pulled skirt steak with rice, fruit smoothie/ fresh pressed juice. Free dessert per table with check in. Service was great. Free parking outside. Only criticism is the decor needs work- looks like a cafeteria, uncovered pipes, very casual feel. We'll be back because the food is delicious! read more
