Melao's: Reviews & Ratings
It was recommended so I decided from here. Did not disappoint. Got my order in less than 30 mins. Meat well cooked and the cabbage is cooked. Yummy. I would order again.
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!
Best fritura ever!!! It was delicious and all my guests were in love with this food. Definitely I will order again
Smaller spot but very good food. It was all seasoned very well and big portions especially for the money. I had the chicken, beef, salad and fries on the side. Will definitely be back. Some things to note; parking can be difficult and it is a smaller restaurant.
