I grew up eating Cuban food, and sorry to say but outside areas heavily populated by caribbean or latino people attempts to cook our food tend to fail miserably. Without a doubt the food here is as close to what my Mom makes as I have ever had. ( The chef is Boricua /Puerto Rican) At Melaza you will find... More

I went here for dinner with my wife and daughter. The staff was very friendly and the food was great.

We had a family dinner here, and the food was outstanding. Don't come here if you're in a big hurry, but if you have time it is well worth the wait. We had the beef empanadas as an appetizer and they were really good, almost like pastry (wish I'd ordered 2), then some very tasty bread. For our main dishes... More

We are locals of this area and we try to eat at Melaza Caribean Bistro every week. Owner and Chef David does a great job prepairing fresh & flavorful appetizers (tapas) and entrees every night. We always look forward to trying his Specials and always enjoy all of the offerings on the menu. Some of our favorites include the roasted... More

My husband and I went to Melaza for Valentine' Day and planned on having a sort of tapas style meal but the specials sounded so great we had a regular meal with a fabulous "tapas special"... it was so good, in fact, that we had to go back a couple of nights later and have that tapas meal we had...

The Woodstock Inn recommended dinner here. Give it a try, we had the scallops and the pork. The kitchen is a one man show from puerto rico. Everything made from scratch. Delicious describes the meal.

2 adults, 2 kids, some dietary restrictions and Melaza nailed it all. Hanger steak was off the chart, I can't wait to go back this weekend. Staff was attentive and super friendly, food was great and the restaurant was such a pleasure. Don't wait, GO!

I have passed this restaurant before but never was in town for dinner. We were looking for a place to celebrate our anniversary and wanted to try something new. We loved it. My husband and I split several tapas (mussels, garlic shrimp, ceviche, arepas), scallop main dish and tres leches dessert. Every serving was beautifully presented and tasted wonderful. This... More
