I order pepper steak and pork chop.

I been going to this place 10 years already.

I know the portion of the lunch special by heart.

It been consistent for 10
Years.

Until today i make a delivery order

And I received the most miserable amount of meat possible in existence.

The pork chop was ohkay.
Cant go wrong with that.

But in all my years buying lunch special for steak

I never seen this little bit of steak so i got curious and called.

So this guy told me there was only a little
Bit of steak left. And he gave me that.

Me on the other tone ask him why he dint tell me that when i was ordering i could have order some else if i knew.

Then he proceeded to say then u should have order something else.

Then we went back and forth about how im supposed to know there lik bit steak left if you the server dont say anything

Then he starts saying thats the regular portion for steak.

And im telling him is not i been coming here for 10 years and thats not 13$ worth of steak LITERALLY there was so much pepper that the meat purpose was just to serve as juice for the pepper

Like completely violated.

Im telling him just the sight of it made me lost my appetite

He say u should have order something else so instead taking accountability he say is my fault.

So imagine going for 10 years buying food consistently in a place.

Just to find someone who not even properly a year old yet in this place.

Telling you that you wrong for expecting the same amount of food you been getting for 10 years.

Today out of days. Is my fault? Some people really want you to crash out for real.

Forgot to mention.

He say he was not going give me a refund or change my lunch at all.

This is the behavior that wants you to either have a conversation with their supervisor which he is mad rude himself and only care what happens in the dining restaurant this is why you got so many people serving food in yayos with nasty attitude and attitude like they ain’t wrong in nothing

So since this not happening at the dining tables.
He dont pay much attention and he let them get away with murder.

Like i say that attitude to make you want speak with supervisor.

Or catch that specific employee outside and ask him what is his problem. Either or im done with this restaurant.

You admitted that there was just a lil bit steak left.

Then proceeded to lie saying thats the actual regular portion of steak?

Honestly goes a long way.

From now on. Im taking my business to besitos. Anywhere else but yayos. I buy 3 lunch of food daily from this place every single day religiously.

Just for someone come with this shenanigan.

Food was good, but not consistently so. The mofongo and empanadas were amongst the better things on the menu.

Service was friendly, but novice (e.g., didn’t know the menu well at all) and inattentive for stretches of time (when not busy at all).

Our conclusion was that this place is more about cafeteria-style take out (next door) and an R&B/hip-hop club atmosphere in what’s more of a cool bar lounge that serves some decent Latin food.

On a hungry Saturday where I wanted something fulfilling I came across this place with great reviews and man was I disappointed to say the very least I had came into a restaurant where if you were not sitting down to eat they did not care about you or the food they served you I got a classic something you can’t go wrong with rice beans and pernil and boy did I go wrong the beans must of been from like three days before how mushy and nasty they tasted the rice had a hard texture to it as if it was left out all day in the heating light the pernil was a joke I think Stevie wonder could make better it was under-seasoned and seemed like they thought the oil and grease would make up for it I mean overall for 11 bucks it’s not the most I’ve ever paid but I think this is the biggest let down yet three blocks over I believe is another Hispanic restaurant and I can personally say theirs is better

I'll start off by saying I ordered take out, so my experience with the food quality maybe different than the (possibly) well deserved reviews for dine in that are glowing compared to our delivery.

We ordered aroz con Pollo. The plus is that you can easily feed a family of 3 with one order. Plentiful, so the relatively high price for the dish ($20) balanced out.

Unfortunately, the food didn't taste like spanish food. It tasted like defrosted Chinese vegetable fried rice that was not cooked in house, with a conservatively seasoned rotisserie chicken chopped in 4 pieces and tucked in Chinese rice. I'm sure the food is better for sit down (and everything taste better with a nice setting), but I wish the takeout was as great as the reviews for people that ate in and said it was authentic Spanish food.

I didn’t stay to eat in the establishment due to a waiting hungry teen at home lol however the food is EXCELLENT. Full plates, thoroughly cooked and juicy chicken, rice is ON point and I love me some black beans and sauce. Good home cooking and the price point was super affordable and top tier packaging. It was to go and not one drop was spilled on the ride home. Can’t beat it with two fresh cans of soda. Atmosphere was cool laidback and clean. Neat presentation and no flies. I’m so grateful because the food kept me full and I caught the itis lol 😆… all in all great food and I was not paid to give this review. I hope to enjoy their food again soon whenever I’m in the area. Thank you Yayos♥️

Good drinks, food looked good but overpriced. The food was buffet set up but you couldn't pick different things. You can find there food at Spanish bodegas.

This used to be a Cuban spot famous for its toasted Cuban,Pork and Ham & Cheese hero sandwiches! As well as Cuban style cuisine! Unfortunately when old man Yayo passed away 😩😢 His family sold the restaurant and it's never been the same!! Was there recently after many years and was disappointed 😞

Parking: Across the street from the restaurant

Kid-friendliness: High chairs available and kids menu

I enjoy my time at this restaurant. Whether alone or with friends. The service is attentive and prompt. The food hasn't failed on any visit. The price is the only thing that keeps me from eating here more often. When I go, it's a treat for me. An appetizer, entrée, salad, and one drink can easily cost 90$ with tax and tip. So I choose when I go wisely.
Great place!

Great food, nice atmosphere they even had a live band. Staff were accommodating and professional. Expect to wait a long time for your food but it's worth the wait. I recommend this restaurant.

I went to this restaurant yesterday with my sister before the Marc Anthony concert.. The ambiance was.nice, staff were professional and very accommodating. I'm rating this restaurant a 4 because my appetizer came out the same time as my meal and the appetizer was cold. We waited awhile for our food but it was worth the wait. Will definitely go back and I do recommend this restaurant for some good Latin food..
