RUTA 55 RESTAURANT 1316 Lafayette Avenue, The Bronx, NY 10474

"If you’re looking for delicious authentic food- take a seat and dine in. You will feel at home, but with more selections. Our favorite restaurant to go to! The food is always fresh, savory, healthy. My favorite is the oxtail and anything with chicharrón! My nephews and nieces love it here because they have options! The staff are kind and friendly. Couldn’t ask for a better place in the south Bronx! Highly recommend for catering: birthdays, school events, and holidays- you won’t regret it!"

"My go to spot!!! Food is always delicious and affordable. They serve good portions too! Staff is super friendly and attentive. I’ve also had them cater a few of my events and have never been disappointed. My guests always rave about the food and my food always arrives on time. If I could give more stars I would!"

"I came to eat in this restaurant yesterday for lunch and it seems to be clean when you walk in but their prices fluctuate depending on who's at the register and they actually charged me a $10 service fee just to sit in the restaurant for lunch. The most disturbing part about this location was the roach that was crawling on the wall while I was trying to finish up my lunch. The waitress didn't even attempt to kill it they just told me that they exterminator had left two days ago just disgusting and horrific I will never go back here again. To be charged $10 to sit in a roach infested place is utterly preposterous and disgusting."

"The food was delicious. We catered for about 40 people and the plates were so big, everyone took some home as well. I got everything I wanted on time, which was very important for me. I will be returning soon! I highly recommend this place."

"Consistently delicious food and amazing service! One of my go to’s when im in the neighborhood"
