The food was alright! Make sure you order from the front it's a lit bit cheaper! Ample parking in the back of the establishment! Excepts credit cards and the bathroom is in the basement! But beside that alright place and also the waitress do not speak English! read more

Some things just never change!!! This restaurant needs to close .... my second time ordering from Malecon and the experience was worst than the first one. The person that took my order was rude and impatient. We received the food and it was just the icing on the cake to a complete an unsatisfied and disappointing night!! HORRIBLE FOOD (see pictures and take your $ else where) read more

Asked for octopus in the small container and medium pasta salad for lunch The cashier says $20! They must be struggling to stay alive and still trying to screw people over Over 15 times I said I don't want large size octopus and small size pasta salad, when it comes to filling the containers, they kept on insisting filling the sizes the way they want instead of what I wanted to order It's a shame because I let them screw me for breakfast ($5 for a bacon lettuce tomato and $5 for an orange juice ) and they still were not satisfied They wanted to charge me what they felt like charging Stop being greedy, no one can effort to spend $100 a day at your diner, the idea at the moment should be to make things affordable not to screw as many people over as possible. It's a shame because I was very patient and I would have paid $10 for lunch, for a tiny portion of pasta and salad But I ain't ordering what you want me to order, this ain't North Korea She then says the smallest order for octopus salad is $14.95! Really? Did I fell asleep and wake up at a high end restaurant I'm Central Park??? Am I still at a diner ordering take out in Yonkers? I should have checked out their reviews read more

The Serbia was great our waiter was very attentive took our plates when we finish , it was 6 of us the food looked great , could be A little better with the taste , place looked clean for the most part we still enjoyed read more

Worst restaurant! Worst cashier! This restaurant has sitting tables and pick up menu to go. I asked the server about pick up menu and maybe didn't understand me or maybe she ignored me and then I asked the cashier at front and she yelled at me with bad attitude: THE MENU IS RIGHT HERE! I asked her why she is yelling and told me to buy or get the FXXX out. I was stunned and surprised how an owner or manager can allow such behavior. I asked for her name or if I can speak to the restaurant manager and told me same beautiful customer service words to get the Fxxx out. I am not sure until now what triggered this bad behavior? Is it simply because I don't speak Spanish? But I know for sure I will never come back. I wish I can rate this restaurant-1000 if I could. read more

The worst restaurant i encounter ..I called to place a order the lady that takes the orders on the phone started getting an attitude cause I was speaking Spanglish "she said so are you going to speak Spanish or English" so I asked her are you understanding me she said "yes" so I asked what's the problem why are you giving me attitude? She said cause it's annoying that you're speaking Spanglish just said I'll give my money to a restaurant that appreciates it and knows how to talk to clients read more

They will over charge you on everything. Luckily I was able to discover this pilferage. I strongly recommend not to eat there or it will be horribly expensive. And some of the food doesn't taste well read more

Where do I being with Malecon.... This place has had its good days but those days I feel are long gone. I was an avid customer for many years but now it's fair to say I wouldn't buy a grain of rice for these people. *The food* used to be pretty good and a well priced. Now it's ok and getting on the expensive side form Spanish food. The area has many smaller Spanish spots with higher quality food and at much better prices *the service* hit or miss. I've had great experiences and train wrecks. Everything form being over charged, ignored, wrong orders and excessive wait times for food they have sitting in a buffet behind the counter. The worst was when one of their employees started talking about me in spanish saying "let the white boy wait" as they helped a Spanish guy who came in behind me. I happen to be fluent in Spanish and found this to be insulting if not 100% racist and this was inevitably the straw that broke this camels back. In short don't go here, your not missing out on anything. Take a few steps down the street and enjoy your experience with a welcoming smile, good Spanish food, and fair prices at one of the smaller places that would enjoy your business read more

This review is based on their delivery service. I wish I'd read the yelp reviews before ordering. In placing the order I was miffed because they didn't have their advertised daily special. My replacement was the rabo, or oxtail, with white rice and beans on the side. Food arrived in a timely fashion, I will give them credit for that, hence the one star. However, upon consumption, disappointment unending ensued. The rice had bits of overcooked pieces in it, crunchy from being near the edge of the pot, and, to add insult to injury, was additionally clumpy because it was stale. And I don't mean stale in the sense that it was cooked this morning - stale as in cooked last night or before and reheated. The oxtail was cut into 1/4 inch sections - which I have NEVER in my life seen anywhere, even at the butchers - and some pieces had more gristle than meat! The advertised side of plantain were two meager pieces hidden amongst rice and the excuse for oxtail. At $6.50, I was expecting a smaller portion, not poor quality. Will not be ordering from this location again - was recently informed there are better locations in Manhattan and the Bronx. read more

I'm sitting here waiting for my food. I ordered bacon and eggs 25 minutes ago... No, 27 minutes ago. Not here yet. OK, the food came... the girls are nice, but confused, and appear afraid of the customers. The staff appears either inexperienced, or untrained - they don't communicate with customers, disappear for protracted periods in the kitchen, don't check back with the customers about food. I can't tell what's going on in the kitchen, but several parties who came in after us got their food first, when all we ordered was bacon, eggs, rice and beans. The dinner menu looks expensive. After the service I experienced, I won't be coming to see if it's worth the price. read more

Lunch date with friends...from the warm, soft, buttered appetizer bread, to the perfectly fried tostones, juicy, roast chicken, yellow rice, black beans, churrasco with chimichuri sauce and bistec to the morir soñando, and mojitos, salsa music, Dominican art history painted on the walls and ceiling and smiling servers...we really enjoyed delicious food, wonderful company, great atmosphere, super fun times! Another plus is the parking lot...so u don't have to worry about looking for street parking...oh yeah!! read more

Gave 1 cause i can't give zero!!! person that answers the phone is sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo rude!

Four and a half stars as far as cuisine. I'm so used to the old diner being there that I was pleasantly surprised to see that somthing ethnic and not typical would be on the menu. But it was typical latin. It was done Dominican puertorican style, and very delicious. On the occassions I went there were lots of couples and families but they have a small bar too if you just want a quick bite. It;s a pretty nice looking place and the waitresses are very sweet. Entrees are fantastic comfort food. Even the desserts are phenominal. Excellent for a date as they put some attention towards their wine list. read more

As a small business owner myself, I'm really not the type of guy to write a negative review like this, but Malecon really earned it... They are a couple blocks from my house, so I've been there a few times. First off, the food is mediocre, nothing to write home about. But they are the STINGIEST restaurant I've ever seen. If you order roast pork, they'll give you 1/16th of a lb of pork (and you can forget about getting any skin), 3 tiny pieces of maduros and just fill the rest of the container with white rice (which is good white rice, but still...). Also, when I call to place delivery orders, they hang up on me all the time (they just hung up on me twice in a row, while I was trying to place an order which made me write this). I believe the other reviews that claim these people just don't like anyone that doesn't sound or look latino. read more

Good place for everyday Spanish food if you don't want to cook for the night. We have a son who is a very picky eater but he absolutely loves the yellow rice form this place. We regularly get the full chicken which is always juicy. read more

This restaurant has disappointed me in the past but since I heard that they hired new personal I decided to give Malecon one more chance. I went to the restaurant for diner and from the moment I enter the restaurant it's employees are so attentive, later I order my pernil and it was so tender and delicious it made me forgot the dry meat that they served me before. I really enjoyed the food and most important it's service with a staff that actually care for its costumer. I will definitely go back to this place with my friends and family. Keep up the good service. read more

My BP went up after I tasted their ribs! SO SALTY! I get it, a bit of salt to taste but DAMN--cut down on adobo with salt! Decent chicken, mediocre food. read more

We enjoyed our "Malecon style" whole chicken lunch. However, when we got the bill, the price charged was $5 higher than on the menu. Without hesitation, the waitress explained that the additional charge was because we "sat down". Huh? read more

3 and a half stars. Its a great place for quick dining. Take Doña out the kitchen; take her out for a variety of carribean/latino food. Do not get experimental and order pasta, its not as good. Stick to the BASICS. RICE AND BEANS, Chicken, etc. The only out of the ordinary foods I ate here was the tilapia and steak which is pretty good. The mofongo is not the best here, for that try the mofongo house in Dykman. read more

First off the place was empty at 6:30 p.m , that should have told me to walk out. Ordered the boneless chicken yellow rice and red beans . The chicken was hot and was on the dry side. The rice and beans were cold, service was slow despite us being the only one's there. When it was time for the bill it was $32 for the two of us $2.48 in taxes and $4.50 in tips which they added to the bill . I gave the waitress $40 and the waitress decided that she was was going to keep the change without asking. Don't waste your time on this place bad service bad attitudes. read more

Worse service ever.. they always get my order wrong, even if I call it in OR order in person. Waitresses are rude, it's like if they're doing u a favor bringing your food. Only good thing about this place is Spanish coffee. I really don't understand how people still go there! read more

I have ordered here many times but lately there just plain rude. Whoever picks up the phone needs to learn some hospitality in how to talk to people. When i git home to check my food i had found the smallest pieces of meat i have ever seen and the sweet plantin are usually a good size well not this time, they where also so small i could not find them. There prices have also gone up. But really why are they so rude. read more

Great prizes and selection, but when ordering delivery, food sometimes arrives cold :( Their beans are delicious with white rice. read more

Very disappointed today the sancocho soup was tasteless only had a lot of plantains in it. They are usually are my go too. Disappointed !

When you go here expecting rice and BEANS, make sure you look in the container. There are no beans in their bean sauce and they have the nerve to charge $6 for a large???? When I called to ask where the beans were, I was told that's how they make it. But the location in the Bronx actually gives you beans. Horrible customer service. read more

I moved to yonkers not too long ago from Pelham Parkway, wanted some shrimp mofongo and didn't know where to get it from here so I search the web and found this restaurant. I ordered from UBEREATS then called the restaurant a nice answered all my questions and said pls let me know if you looked it or if you don't; I did call her back and said to her it is really good she said I'm glad but stop by the restaurant we make a variety of dishes and I will go to the restaurant one of these days. Here is the picture I couldn't take the picture when I first open it as I was starving and couldn't wait to eat I recommend this place I have because I want to see the place. But this food is really good is my spanish go to place now from Yonkers. read more

Food is terrible here! Every other Malecon I've ever been to have been phenomenal. I ordered the lunch roasted chicken with yuca. That meal was 10 dollars and the food was disgusting. The chicken was dry and the yuca was thrown into the container with water. Never again will I order from this Malecon!! read more

Very dissatisfied with my order. I was very excited and hungry to order food so I decided to order over the phone and pick it up. They girl on the phone was very helpful and repeated my order. But although she repeated my order I wanted extra sauce and extra pernil skin and ill pay extra for it. My family member picked it up n they gave me the driest pieces of pernil with no skin, 2 little .5 oz garlic sauces when I asked for extra and the worst part I paid extra for it. Apologizies don't cut it for me I just am pissed I spent over 45 bucks for the crappiest pieces of meat. Never order from them again. No bueno. read more

One of the worst things I've done was order from here instead of just going to Caridad & Louie's Restaurant i eneded up going back here because it was right there.... I walked in and placed my order of a CHEESE Monfongo and a side of Vegetables to go... took about 10 min I guess the waiting time was alright I get home and I started unpacking my dinner I take a couple of bites and the CHEESE MONFONGO OF WHAT it's supposed to be had pork I took 3 bites and Ive been a vegetarian for 11 years I don't eat meat at all I just spit everything out of my mouth it was disgusting and there was literally no cheese nothing at all just pork in my cheese Mofongo then I also ordered a side of vegetables witch had alone seemed to be just broccoli and hard carrots and then the sauce for the Mofongo contained pork as well so I had no dinner that night and just felt horrible the whole night I called back to see what they can do and the lady was nice on the phone gave me 15$ for what the Monfongo cost but that just doesn't cut it for me after I just ate meat... so idk they need to be more informative of what they have on the menu because she tells me the cheese Monfongo does not contain pork but obviously the guy who cooked says it does soo? And I'm not anti meat I just prefer not to eat it and after 11 years going on 12 looks like that ended read more

Malecon Restaurant - Latin American Near Me - Yonkers, New York

Went here for Easter, baby in tow. Lacking space, took forever to get a table set up, we waited on, got some bread with olive oil but no water. After half hour finally stormed out. Poor service, no communication and bad preparation for oncoming customers. Very disappointed. read more

My boyfriend and I order from here pretty often, it's not too expensive and the food hits the spot. The only thing I will say about the delivery is the woman who delivers our food from time to time is very rude. She'll call to tell us our food is outside, before I could even put my shoes on she is calling again and honking the horn. Then when I go downstairs, my building's door locks so I'm holding it open and she won't even get out of the car to bring the food. If she does, it's with an extreme attitude! read more

Food had zero flavor. Chicken was dried out. Got the shrimp and chicken meal and there were three shrimp in total. The garlic sauce was orange and tasted odd. Also ordered the roasted chicken and it was dry with no flavor. read more

Very poor ratings at this restaurant and I can see why!!! It's poorly managed, or there is no manager. They just don't care. I can see by the comments from others that there is no accountability. This afternoon, my mother was in line, guy jumps in front of her - she is a senior citizen. The cashier yells next and he proceeds to give his order. My niece tells the cashier he jumped the line. She says, I'll be with you in a minute and continues to take his order, WTF? She totally disregarded my Niece and Mom who were waiting in line before him. Unacceptable! I wasn't there and if I was, I would have spoken to him myself and left without patronizing the restaurant. . We shouldn't settle for complacency. If the want my money, I, we must be treated with respect. I will stop by tomorrow and speak with the Manager. Wish me luck. Lol! You should go to Caridad next time. During this economy its unfortunate that they don't want my money before or after COVID 19. Big mistake, Huge!! read more

Family combo is very good - for $18.00(tax included) you get a whole chicken, a good size rice, beans, sweet plantains, salad, and a two liter soda - can't beat that. Make sure to look which chicken they give you, if you don't pay attention you could end up with a dry one. Overall a good place, servers are friendly and fast. The Pernil is also very good and juicy!! read more

Good family place, and the food draws me in from a block away. Reasonably priced, and the portions are big. CLEAN BATHROOM!! And the have free parking read more

My boyfriend and I brought his mother here for Mother's Day. When we walked in there was no hostess. We waited unacknowledged for 10 minutes. When we were finally seated we didn't have a waiter, the hostess took our order. Our food didn't come out together and when we finally had all our food we had no utensils to eat it with. Top it off our waters were never refilled. The two stars are for the food because it was delicious. However, we waited 20 minutes for someone to give us our bill and when we got the bill they already put a 15% tip, which I have only ever heard of for large parties not for three people. They certainly did not deserve 15% for that service. read more

I live 15 minutes away..ordered food at 6pm and was forced to cancel at 8pm...no food in sight...the 3rd time i called they said the food was 5 minutes away but it was already 2 hours late...food would've been cold...no longer ordering out from these guys...they let a bunch of orders pile up before letting the drivers go...i would NOT order if i were YOU! you will NOT get your food when you want it...the whole point of ordering delivery is to get the food when you are hungry and can't make it...they will let you starve read more

Surprised by the reviews here. My pork chops were fine. My aunt's rice and longaniza was excellent. Service was fine. We also ordered their passion fruit juice that was very good. I don't think it it was a bad deal for what you got. Will be back want to try their arroz con pollo. read more
