Melao's

"this place is wonderful. I've never had dominican food before, but have a milk allergy. they were super accommodating, gracious, and pleasant, even though i speak no spanish. also witnessed a heartwarming & generous act of empathy while waiting for our food. truly fantastic establishment"

"I don’t understand how this restaurant has such bad reviews! This is my third time ordering and I haven’t been disappointed. They actually got wayy better. 10/10 ive tried mofonguitos, chimi, yaroa and appetizers from them. I love please I usually listen to reviews but you have to try!"

"Ordered a beef chimi no tomatoes. Waited 20 minutes. Her family(around 4 people) strolled in, straight to the kitchen (no mask)Reason it took that long!!!! She sold me a burnt non edible chimi and tomatoes. They need to pay attention to the quality of the food being sold here and have family stay out the kitchen. Honestly, I don't know how they have an A... In my previous visit a gentleman prepared my food and it was delicious and well prepared. This time was an older lady and I wasted $9 on food that I couldn't and did not eat. They look like they do good fresh fruit juices but even that is exposed and not covered. Will not be returning."

"I ordered for delivery from ubereats and they sent their own personalized driver and I have had issues several times when I order from here whether it be missing soda , bad quality food , missing ingredients etc. this time their delivery guy sent food eaten and no soda or anything and they also missed my empanada. Never order from here it’s terrible , the People are nasty and mean and the food is terrible and cheap and microwaved. NEVER ORDER HERE."

"After a minor inconvenience with an Uber Eats order, I reached out to the restaurant through their Instagram account to try and rectify the situation. WOW!!!! I was amazed at how the owner put me first as a paying customer and offered to *personally deliver* a brand new order of food *on the house*. I was pleasantly surprised!!!! The food was AMAZING! We loved it! The bandeja cibaeña was one of the best fritura platters I’ve had in the Bronx. The chicken yaroa made with french fries was literally the best yaroa I’ve had in NYC period. Everything was absolutely delicious and the simple fact that he went out of his way to make things right with me was very respectable. I’ve never seen or heard of an owner personally delivering about $60 worth of food at no cost to a customer! I would recommend Melaos 100%! If you ever have any issues with your order, reach out to them and they will try their best to make it right!"
