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!

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

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

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.

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.

A lovely restaurant with great service and a friendly welcoming local atmosphere. Came for lunch and each day there's a different lunch special. I got the oxtail stew which was pretty solid. And comes with rice and beans of course with refills. Will be back next time for the skirt steak which looks great

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.

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

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!
