Although the food tasted good, the churrascos were cold and chewy. The service was amazing, the atmosphere was ok (the chairs are and do not support your back)
Great food. Friendly staff and the owner (chef) comes out to get feedback on the food. CASH ONLY but have ATM inside
I order the the red snapper, it was served raw and the fish had a old test, It was not fresh. My wife order the churrasco with rice and beans the whole plate luck on taste the beans tasted like they been in the refrigerator for a long time, they only had 2 choices of juice and they were both bad, were very water down. The waiters had a bad attitude and not attentive. They only accept cash and they informed us after we order the check thank God my wife had cash if not I would had to go to the bank wich it would had been very inconvenience, Since I'm out of state and dont know the area well. I NOT RECOMMEND THIS RESTAURANT
The food was amazing, the staff friendly and professional, and the ambience was like being back home. I love a well prepared Churrasco that is cooked properly and delivers flavor and the right amount of juiciness. Let me say first the Churrasco smelled divine, it did not over power but just the right amount to get your mouth watering. As you cut in to the steak it’s the perfect level of tenderness to get you excited to taste the meat and once you take the first bit, it’s like a little bit of heaven in your mouth. The best part is the steak delivers from beginning to end. Definitely on the must redo list.
What can I say? This is a great little spot in the Bronx for Dominican-tasting food. My wife and kids loclved the atmosphere and staff. The chef even came out and took picture with my daughters. We are definitely coming back. Thank staff and Yala
First time visiting was not aware they only take cash. Luckily there is an ATM on site. The server we had was not very knowledgeable as far as the menu. The server was not able to answer questions regarding certain meals. Tap water is not an available option, considering NY has some of the best water, If you wanted water you had to purchase a bottle. Also no diet sod available. No bread or anything offered to snack on while you waited for your food. Our meal took 1 hour. It did come out hot which was great. The food was very tasty.
Food was perfect from taste to Presentation. Everything was delicious. Friendly staff and very helpful. I just didn't like the waiting for food part. Wish it was a little faster or at least some kind of bread or something for the wait. Overall the Atmosphere was welcoming!
It's a great small cozy restaurant. The food is great and she's also trying new plates to her customers from Tomahawk steak, Lambs chop and Surf and Turf to many more. Yala is a very creative chef. Great customer services. The only purpose I didn't gave them a five is because they don't take credit card/debit and they don't sell beers or anything type of alcohol.
