The restaurant 161 Bar & Grill is family run business. We are 2 blocks from Yankee Stadium on 161st Street between Walton and Gerard Avenues, in the center of the Bronx.
Latin cuisine is our special…
The food was cooked to perfection. Oxtails were excellent with the yellow rice. So much so I forgot to add the beans...And the calamari was crisp with just the right amount of seasoning. Great job cook(s). I'll be ordering again in the future.

Although its tasty, the Queso Frito Empanizado was as if its already been out for a while, not like it was just freshly prepared. The Sancocho was mostly juice/broth. For a size large I got more juice than anything else. Some more yuca, plantain and potatoes would've been nice if I couldn't have more meat. Other than that it was good.

ln my opinion, this restaurant is over priced. I spent almost $40 for a Sancocho,1/2Lb. Pernil and a small juice. My Sancocho was mostly broth , my pernil was in some sauce/gravy ive never seen before and the juice was mostly ice. They didnt even include any utensil or even one napkin. Never ordering from here again.

the 2 Persona Picadera Sampler was okay, but the portions were small this time. And the pork was dry and tasted stale and like it was sitting in oil. The chicken chunks and tostones were good. The Mofongo de Camarones was not too good either, the mofongo itself was hard and dry. The shrimp al ajillo that was on the mofongo was actually really good.

The soup flavor was good but the meat was really red. The meat was sketchy. The soup was not thick, as Sancocho should be.
