Seis Vecinos is a fantastic place to enjoy a great dinner with family and friends. The food is delicious, and the service is outstanding. We had a wonderful experience, thanks in large part to Chely, our waitress, who was attentive, friendly, and made us feel truly welcome. If you visit, be sure to ask for her and give their menu a try—you won’t be disappointed!

Response from the owner

Love the food and the service. Our waitress was very attentive, Chely made our visit very pleasant and fun. We ordered the guac and the picadera and it was delicious.

After more than 30–40 orders in the past year, I can confidently say this restaurant has become something of a culinary frenemy: I adore the food, but my wallet files a complaint every time.<br><br>This spot is, without exaggeration, one of the most expensive restaurants in the Bronx - and no one seems entirely sure why. The food is consistently good, often delicious, and occasionally excellent. But the pricing feels like it was set by someone who thinks the Bronx is secretly Monte Carlo.<br><br>Take the pupusas, for example. They’re tasty, but they’re also priced like they come with a side of stock options. They tend to underdeliver for what they cost, leaving you wondering whether you accidentally ordered the “collector’s edition.” On the other hand, the nachos are exquisite - beautifully layered, generously topped, and genuinely satisfying. They’re also so expensive that you might briefly consider taking out a small loan before hitting “Place Order.”<br><br>Presentation is usually on point: clean, consistent, and appealing. But when they miss, they miss. I’ve had a few orders arrive looking like they took a wrong turn somewhere between the kitchen and reality. Thankfully, those moments are the exception, not the rule.<br><br>Despite the eyebrow‑raising prices, the food quality is reliably solid. This is a place that knows how to cook. You just have to be prepared to spend significantly more than you’d expect for a neighborhood restaurant. Think “treat yourself” pricing on a “Tuesday night dinner” kind of meal.<br><br>In short: delicious food, dependable flavors, and a price tag that occasionally feels like a prank. If they ever adjust the cost to better match the quality, this place could easily become one of the Bronx’s top go‑to spots. Until then, it remains a great restaurant; just one that makes your bank account flinch.

Response from the owner

Went on Easter Sunday with two siblings and mom, service could definitely be better and they’re pretty pricey. Of us four only 3 ate and the bill was over $200. They should offer water which is free or free bread. Guacamole is $26 smh. My sister sent her food back because it was cold after the waitress was upset and didn’t want to take care of our table again.

Response from the owner

Hola Celines, we sincerely apologize for the experience you and your family had on Easter Sunday. A family dinner on a special holiday should be a memorable one for all the right reasons, and we are truly sorry we fell short of that. The situation with the food being sent back and the service that followed is not something we take lightly — every guest at our table deserves to be treated with patience, kindness, and professionalism regardless of the circumstances, and we will be addressing this with our team. We also hear your feedback on pricing and understand that every dollar matters, especially when dining out as a family. We humbly strive to ensure the quality of our food and service reflects the trust our guests place in us. We hope you’ll give us the opportunity to make this right and show you and your family the experience you truly deserve. Please feel free to reach out to us directly. ❤️🙏

Food is good, overpriced but delicious. Service was weird, maybe it was the day- but it felt like they were trying to hurry us up when there were plenty of available tables and nobody waiting. They also kept trying to add more things to our order.

Response from the owner

Hola Marilyn, thank you for the honest feedback and we're glad the food hit the mark! ❤️We sincerely apologize for the experience with the service — you and your guests should always feel comfortable and unhurried at your table, and we never want anyone to feel rushed or pressured. We will be sharing this feedback with our team as it is not the standard we hold ourselves to. We hope you'll give us another chance to show you the full experience you deserve. Feel free to reach out to us directly as well. ❤️🙏

Omg this place was amazing!! Everything was super freaking delicious where we were happy to spend the money. I do have one small complaint that we opted to order the LARGE Henny Colada cocktails but were not warned that they were $60 each!! Luckily,we could afford it but I know that it could be a problem for some people. The drinks were tasty, strong and had 3 small Hennessy bottles as floaters do they were totally worth the $ but still, a little warning would've been nice.<br><br>Every single dish had soooo much flavor!!

Response from the owner

Hola Cecilia! So glad everything was absolutely delicious and worth every penny! 😄 We truly appreciate the feedback on the Henny Colada pricing, we will share the feedback with the team. Those floaters are something special though! 🍺 We hope to see you back soon! ❤️🙏💯

Great first time experience. Very welcoming, favorite part is they make the guacamole fresh right in front of your table. Food was great, drinks are a bit expensive so I'll pass on that. Overall I will be coming back.

I had am amazing time at Seis Vecinos. Shelley was my waitress. She was amazing. The food was fantastic as well. I ordered the Seafood Paella. It was perfectly seasoned and came with a salad . They sung Happy Birthday to me and made me feel so special. I will definitely be back. I'm so lucky to have this gem of a restaurant so close in my neighborhood. You don't need to go to Manhattan for excellent service.

Response from the owner

Thank you so much for sharing your kind words! We will let Shelly know as she is always grateful to provide great service. We very much appreciate appreciate your support, thank you, Best wishes always ❤️

Great food! You can get freshly made guacamole right at your table. A wide variety of Latin dishes. During my visit it was a bit loud which caused a problem with one of the orders at my table. The waitress was clearly upset about this, and no longer continued to provide service at our table. In fact she pawned us off to someone else, and provide us with dirty looks and a ride attitude. I'm not sure if I will be going back. Good food, but bad service.
