Delicious. Varied menu items. Convenient to Stadium. Good service. I'll go back. Close to Yankee Stadium...don't spend your money on the "food" at YS...this place is great before or after an event...or anytime. read more

Give it to two stars because good service. Very attentive. Food was not very good at all. The rice was not throughly cooked. Still hard. Had to spit some of it out. The chicken was ok nothing out of this world. Beans were fine would have just preferred smaller kidney beans not the large one. Will definitely not eat hear again. Wanted some good Spanish food but was left disappointed that I had to buy churros up by court house and a can of coke. read more

If you are unfortunate enough to be heading to the Bronx Family Court, this is a great place to get a bite. I recommend the cubano sandwich for 4.75, pressed thin with flavorful roast pork. The chicken soup is hearty, has a great flavor, and worth the 3 bucks. read more

The food is great but the customer service is not good ,you walk in and they will not greet you , I've stood there for 5mins before I was asked for help on what I want too order!!! And if you don't look or speak Spanish they try to over look you ... read more

Very inexpensive, authentic seeming Dominican and Puerto Rican style dishes in a diner sort of environment which has a little bit of a bar feeling also; right next to Yankee Stadium. They have morcilla (blood sausage), which goes well with beer. I tried an empanada that was good too..They make their own sangria, have some beer specials and a decent selection of bottled beers, and have karaoke on Friday nights.. My server was friendly, as was the guy who appeared to be the owner, unlike the experience mentioned by a previous reviewer. If you are going to a game, this seems like a great place eat and drink before or after instead of paying stadium prices for highly inferior food and beer. This is a simple little diner type place with kind of a gritty and highly informal feel, so not for date night, but a good place to go hang out with friends and get some cheap food and drinks..Restroom was very clean, an important plus. There is a counter one can sit at and several tables. Also pretty close to the Bronx Museum if you are visiting there this is a good place to go before or after. When I went to pay I was shocked at how cheap it was! read more

See all

We ordered dominican breakfast here to go and it was so bad. I've honestly never even knew you could mess up a tree Golpes but apparently it's possible and this place does it. The Yuca was dry and had way too many roots, the onions were undercooked, the salami was the cheap kid and it was undercooked, the cheese was okay and although it was supposed to be tree Golpes they forgot the eggs! HORRIBLE! read more

That last review was harsh but I have to support the small businesses in my hood.. Ok so its not 5 star Spanish cuisine..service can be a bit slow and ok maybe if u get the last chicken of the hour before they bring out the new batch, it maaaay be a bit dry. But...ITS A CUCHIFRITOS, with tables, in the hood! You know what Ur getting when Ur going in and I love it..when u know how to work around the little annoyances its a perfect place to get good (notice I didn't say great) Spanish food. Everyone always goes there to enjoy it residents, tourists and Yankee fans. Its been around forever so they are definitely doing something right! read more

The food here is good I've been coming for years but today will be my last day. After standing in line for like ten minutes they ladies skipped over me and took the order of another Hispanic speaking woman. I thought that to be so rude. I let them know that too. Then they took forever to give me my change because they were having conversation. read more

My place for dinner/lunch before the Yankee games...good food, I'm getting hungry thinking about it

Other Yelpers are BS"ing and are whiners. I've ate here through my child hood and through my adult years and there food is top quality AAA. if you're looking for great Spanish food this place is amazing and inexpensive. Don't listen to those morons who have no idea of what an authentic Spanish meal tastes like. Think about it this way if their food was bad then how exactly would they be able to retain business after 2 decades? Doesn't add up. Bottom line don't listen to idiots read more

Not a fancy place but the food is always good and prices are reasonable . I stop by here every once in a while.

I went this past Friday 8/21/15 with my GF before the Yankees Game where it took over 15 mins. to have our order taken. Once the waitress finally came to take our order, I asked if they had this particular type of beer. But she didn't even give us a chance to place our order to go check to see if they had the beer. Thereafter she went to attend to other customers before coming back to us. We felt as if we had to rush in our order before she left us again to attend to others. My GF and I wanted a quarter roasted chicken with rice and beans. But the waitress told us they no longer sell it by the quarter, but half only. So we split a half chicken. Once she came back with our order, the beans I got were mostly liquid. I also ordered an appetizer which tasted old and not fresh. I have been to this restaurant in the past before going to a Yankees game and I never had such bad service and food. This is my first Yelp and the last time I will ever go eat at this place. read more

I've ordered from this place via seamless at 6:30 pm on a Saturday evening, ordered over $65.00 worth of food for my friends and I... 2 hours later still waiting then I decided to call the restaurant to find out they're close the kitchen.. Wow I couldn't believe it!! So I had call seamless and fight to get a refund on my order.. I've had friends that told me this place was crappy but they're menu looked so good I wanted to give it a shout! But never again.. read more

Pretty good spot for our 1st & only eatery in the Bronx, can't wait to go back & explore some more! I had the pork chops smothered in mushrooms and it was great the tostones were awesome and the atmosphere was good it felt like that spot you go to just eat something real quick. It's not the best but it still feels homemade??? The food did take sometime to be served and I had to ask a few times for several condiments that is the only downside I can add. read more

Great typical Dominican/Puerto Rican food. With the whole atmosphere. I usually get the Pernil with rice and beans. Add a Heineken and finish it off with some café con leche and flan. read more

Many of the positive reviews I've read are from people outside the neighborhood or Yankee fans on game day. I have dined in at Molino Rojo several times a year over the 10 years I've lived on the Concourse. Tonight I got the take out chicken. It was way overcooked and dry, but I was hungry so I ate half with rice I made. An hour later I wasn't feeling well. While I've never gotten sick from the food there before, it's never been anything amazing. It's okay if you have no other options. I doubt I'll go back after today's experience. I do not recommend. read more

Been coming here since the place opened. The negative reviews for this place are hilarious...this is more of a neighborhood cafeteria type establishment than a restaurant. Anyone expecting some type of great service from a waitress is in the wrong place. This is not that kind of spot. If you do sit, then you take the good with the bad. These people are coming in here expecting grade A service like some fancy establishment downtown. They could care less. Take your food and go. And no, you are not going to be seated. Find a chair and sit. What do you think this is? Lmao. I usually just get my food to go, like most of the people from the neighborhood do. Great value here. You can never go wrong with the Arroz con pollo (Chicken and rice and beans) you can select the type of rice you want and also can choose from 3-4 beans depending on the day. There are also daily specials...I like to go on Wednesdays for the oxtail and the goat served on Thursdays is good as well. Food is seasoned well, and tastes good. Combos for 10 bucks or less. Can't beat it. read more

Please don't waste your time by coming to this establishment. Their customer service has gone down the drain during the past few years. This used to be my go to place, but now I would rather go hungry than to eat from this place. During my last visit, our waitress was less than stellar and was more worried about the conversation she was having on her phone than making sure she was taking our order correctly. We were forced to ask another waitress to come take care of us and there was in instance where I had to get up and ask for a dish we had asked 3 times before. Also, there was a bug in my water. There were having some promotion going on which guaranteed a free glass of wine if you checked in for that location on yelp. When I tried to redeem this, I was told they could not do it because the manager had to approve and he was gone for the night. The place was smelly, looked dirty, and the food looked like it had been sitting there for days instead of hours. I would not recommend this place nor will I ever go back. New management seriously needs to take over before they lose the little bit of customers they have left. read more

Absolutely horrible. Please do not waste your time and money going to this lousy restaurant. Let's begin with the fact that the waitress didn't know what we ordered, do to the fact that the prior waitress changed shifts in the middle of my order. Also the table was covered in a paper, instead of a proper table cloth. Also, the restaurant served their drinks in PAPER CUPS! I have never seen such a thing (I mean besides fast food places). Lastly, there was ONE waitress for all 9 tables. This place was just horrible. Thanks for reading! read more

This restaurant was so horrible I had the worst experience. I am never coming back to this restaurant. The food was was horrible. We were charged 3.50 for 5 pieces of lettuce and 3 pcs of tomatoes and the CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS VERY POOR! They were very rude and disrespectful. I regret so much spending my money here. Please don't come here. Never coming here again. Music was too loud that I couldn't even hear the the nasty comment that the server was making. Very UNPROFFESIONAL read more

Really sad. Been in the neighborhood for years, and just not worth it. Got two pans of rice, (one yellow and one white) which was 3/4 of a pan in both cases. The pernil was sooooo dry fed it to my puppy. I just could not chew it. Sad. Since I drive, gonna get it from Justines next time. Besides the pans getting smaller, and not even a full pan of rice, not worth the trip there anymore. read more

I think the food is great and the location. I visit my mom, every 2 months and the restaurant is very close to her home. The food is very good. They need more help at the front counter. Excellent prices, no complaints. read more

Have to agree with many of the prior reviews, service sucks! And to further add this, and I hate to go down this road but I defiantly noted a difference between service to the Spanish speaking clientele and my Caucasian family. Spanish speaking diners that arrived after us had their beers and food before our orders were even taken. Our waitress never got us water after repeatedly asking for it, we eventually got it from the counter ourselves, and when we did get our order she totally botched it. Service SUCKS! Food only marginal at best and the only positive thing I can say about our experience is that our waitress did not charge us for 3 item so she did manage to get a small tip for her very poor service. Need to find another Spanish place to eat before Yankee games. read more

Horrible service. Worse food. Yes, support small businesses if they are GOOD- Don't support bad service, bad food. Oh, and if you don't speak spanish you will be treated like dirt. I mean, it will be an absolutely traumatizing experience. They will literally ignore you, make you wait, spanish speaking people will come in after you and order, get a smile, get treated well, and the gringa will be left to be ignored to the point where she doubts if she even exists/is invisible. Literally watched two or three customers who came in after me get served while I stood there after asking for service and they got their food and left. I wasn't even seated at the table, just wanted take out. And an hour later when you finally get it, the food tastes like a dry polyester shirt. Yum! How they stay in business is anyone's guess. El Molino Rojo is one of the bottom two food experiences in New York I have ever had, and I've lived in NY for a long time... read more

after checking out their menu on restaurant.com and with a $10 gift certificate (good for breakfast and lunch only) in my pocket, a friend and i headed to this place thinking it was going to be worth the trek. the place looked inviting enough with red pointsettia tablecloths (for christmas, i assume) and a display of various fried items at the window. it was 9:30 on a sunday morning and there was one other table of customers. our first disappointment was that their menu price for the eggs/homefries/toast and coffee was about double what was posted on restaurant.com! our 2nd disappointment was that the waitress would not accept the gift certificate because "the manager was not there"!! we were hungry so we thought we might as well go for that basic breakfast of eggs and home fries even though the coffee was extra! the eggs were ok but the home fries tasted like something that had been sitting around for a day and simply reheated on a greasy skillet. all disappointments aside, i guess i will go back for lunch someday but only because i hate to waste a gift certificate.... and hopefully the manager will be around . read more
