" Absolutely fresh & Delicious Arepas & Empanadas " Oh wow…read morethey make these to order and fresh . You got to wait a tad because they are made fresh . They are not sitting around already made . When you bite into a arepa it's magical; and freshly made off the stove . The empanadas taste just as fresh & delicious. I got the "Venezuelan lemonade" it's good too . Just a bit sweet , that never hurt anyone ; lol. The vibe is welcoming & friendly. I definitely will be back here when in the area .

I ordered catering from merengue and it was a hit! All of my friends and family commented on how…read moregood the food was. 10/10 for flavor, quality, and quantity. Unfortunately the catering was slightly late vs my pickup time but they let me sit while I waited and checked on me while they were packing my order. The staff was so nice and updated me as my order was being packed up. I got to observe the ambiance and music which were both great. I'll have to come back and eat at the restaurant for dinner (I've done so but that was like 10 years ago).

I cannot say enough good things about Merengue!! They did a phenomenal job of a very large (and…read morelast minute!) delivery order.

We checked out this spot after trying to visit their sister restaurant Doña Habana but it was…read moreclosed. This spot is tucked away in a quiet neighborhood serving authentic Puerto Rican food. It's quite cozy inside with less than 20 tables making for a very intimate experience. I loved the decor inside too. The cocktail I ordered was called the Besó Boricua and my boyfriend got a glass of sangria. My drink was sweet and very enjoyable, plus it looked very picturesque. The sangria was good too, a little strong. We split the Tostones Salmorejo de Jueyes which were very tasty, I had never tried a dish like this before. The tostones were crunchy and fresh and the topping was tasty. My entree was the Churrasco con Salsa Chimichurri, which was fantastic. The steak was cooked perfectly and the chimichuri salsa was super tasty. I also loved the rice and beans it came with. Huge portion but I was able to pace myself and finish most of it. My boyfriend got the Chuleta Kan-Kan which he really enjoyed. The portion was also huge and I didnt try it but he said was tasty. Our servers were very nice and kept checking in on us as well. It wasn't that busy when we came which we liked because we could enjoy each others company more in a quiet setting. Definitively check this place out, we will be trying out their sister restaurants!!

Great Puerto Rican joint. I got the Mofongo Tradicional de Plátano and the Pechuga Rellena de…read moreChorizo y Maduros. The Mofongo had delicious garlic notes and was sizeable, though there were some chewy pork belly fat pieces. The Pechuga was tender chicken in a tomatoey sauce, good but definitely less enjoyable than the Mofongo. The side veggies that I chose with the Pechuga were a large portion and cooked well. Any item in the "De La Finca" category comes with a side of your choice (any item in the "Por El Ladito" category). Also, they charge an 18% service charge by default. You can request to change it if necessary (noted at the bottom of your receipt)

I would rather give 5 stars to this place than a fancy sit-down restaurant, and I'll explain why…read more I walked in to this tiny hole-in-the-wall place and asked for lunch specials. Amazingly, they have a combo meal--chicken, rice, and beans--for about $7. And the chicken in particular is amazing. I don't know what their recipe is, but it's worth checking out. Not only that but unlike most small storefront restaurants, Caribe serves their food on real plates, not Styrofoam. I'm definitely going back!

We were also surprised at how quickly the food came out within 10 minutes of being seated. The service was great throughout the night. My friend and I shared several dishes tapas-style, and while it was definitely filling, I'd recommend adding one more appetizer or item to share if you're splitting plates. The CHICKEN BAO BUN was the highlight for me I'm still thinking about it! So flavorful, and the bun was incredibly fresh. I'll definitely be back

Second experience was much better than the first lol both times was a big order so I get there could potentially be items forgotten. My first order, desserts were missing (flan and tre leches cake). This time, we got both our desserts. I requested for hot sauce and never got any on the first order. This second time, each order received hot sauce. Thank you ! Food - the yellow Spanish rice is amazing! So much flavor. For $10.99, such a good deal for lunch menu price. I got their stewed beef with yellow rice. Added Potato Ball / Bollo de Papa for $2. (Also added Potato Salad / Ensalada de papa $3 , was not great . I don't recommend) lol Overall, this place is decent. I do recommend trying if you're looking for something quick and simple!

The pizzas are spectacular- deep dish style with a thin crust - and the toppings are light and fluffy. I don't know how they do this and the results are spectacular. The flavors simply pop.

Anything cream filled is my favorite. The sourdough bread and baguettes are also top notch. It isn't the easiest place to get to but the trip is worth it. Street parking can be a bit of a pain. It's also tiny inside and will feel very crowded on a weekend morning when you have a line of people trying to grab pastries with as many tables as possible crammed inside a small space. The tables for brunch are usually filled so expect a wait. I haven't tried their coffee yet but they did look good.
