Caridad Restaurant - Dominican Near Me - New York, New York

Yo this spot is fire The picadera platter was amazing -- crispy, flavorful, and SO much food. Tostones, yuca, chicharrón, maduros... they didn't skimp on anything. Ate it with a Presidente and felt like I was in the DR for a second. If you're craving Dominican food in NY this is the spot. read more

Very good food and service. Nice music. The meat was on point, and of course ¡los Tostones!

We ordered from Caridad on a Saturday night because my sister didn't feel like cooking for the whole family. We were all excited to enjoy a nice meal together, but the chicharrón de pollo was a big letdown. It was so salty that none of us could eat it. My niece, nephew, parents, friend, sister and I all tried, and it was just impossible. We ended up throwing it away, which was really disappointing. We also waited a long time for it and after an hour, they brought the wrong ones. We ordered the bone ones and they brought the boneless. The rest of the food was much better. The sancocho was actually the star of the night. My dad loved it, and when I tried it, it was flavorful and delicious. The pork mofongo and white rice were also tasty and well prepared. It's just frustrating that the chicharrón de pollo, which is usually something we all enjoy, was so oversalted that it took away from the experience. I'm hoping this was just an off night because the other dishes showed they can make really good food. read more

Caridad know Dominican food RIGHT! They got the flavored, frozen drinks made NICE! The food is delicious. You HAVE to end it with dessert. The flan and pudding were unbelievable. They have lunch specials. The shrimp were amazing. Even the grilled chicken has some great taste to it. I love when a place puts the green olives in the rice with peas. Everything was superb. read more

Came here with a large group for dinner. The restaurant was able to accommodate us right away and placed us in the back area. Interior was lovely and colorful, with luxe touches of greenery, as well as flowers. There was also an expansive and beautiful looking upstairs area. I really wanted to try the Picalonga Platter and thankfully was able to find someone to share it with. This was plated impressively, consisting of Longaniza sausage, salami, pork cracklings, fried beef strips, fried cheese, and tostones, topped with pickled red onion and peppers. I enjoyed the Pork Cracklings, Sausage, Fried Cheese. The pork was perfectly crunchy and full of flavor. Sausage was juicy and well seasoned. Fried cheese was satisfyingly crisp. Tostones were just okay. They were not thin enough for my liking, but tasted better with the garlic sauce. I was not a fan of the beef strips, because it was way too tough and wasn't that flavorful. Service was pretty good, but there was some miscommunication on the orders. Overall, the waitress was friendly and did her best. This place served Dominican cuisine, but I found the menu to be very Americanized, so don't think I would return. read more

Amazing service, food's great and atmosphere is pleasant. Staffs very friendly and caring.

The food is a good neighborhood restaurant and the service is good. I like the new wall decorations

Today I got the Domican Bowl. The rotisserie chicken is so moist and seasoned. I wanted a healthier version for lunch today. I was not disappointed . The bowl cones with rice, plantains, lettuce tomato,corn,rice. read more

Caridad used to be the bomb.com, known for great deals and delicious food. Unfortunately, that's no longer the case; now the prices don't match the quality. Today, I ordered the traditional Dominican soup, sancocho, for $7. Watch my video; it was more like a thin broth than the hearty dish I expected. To make matters worse, the service gets a C-. The server seemed to struggle to find ingredients in the pot to add to my cup, and instead of letting me know they were out and offering something else, she served it anyway. Normally, I would have spoken up, but I was tired and not feeling well; and boy, do I regret it. Caridad needs to step it up and return to the standards that made them so great before! read more

One of my favorite neighborhood spots and I'm glad it's still around even after I moved out of NYC years ago. The family meal deal is a great price for the amount of food you get, and the price has only increased slightly. For the family meal special, you get enough food to feed a family of four. You choose between a whole rotisserie chicken, steak, or chicken chunks. A choice of rice and beans, salad option, and a 2-liter of soda. All for ~$30! Always delicious and always a great deal. read more

Came to have lunch and was served by Victor! Victor was very attentive and professional. The food was delicious and well seasoned!! Highly recommended! read more

Been going here since I was a child and before it used to be crowded with guests, but nowadays it seems it's mostly focused on take-out since the inside is empty. The food is still good if you are craving Dominican good. One thing I did notice is that they open around 11am and that's late especially since they used to open earlier and offer breakfast. Not sure why, but it's not the same as it used to be. However, still get food here, just don't expect a full restaurant of guests. read more

Lunch here was a pleasant surprise. I had the rabo encendido lunch special and found it to be delicious and affordable. The oxtail was tender and juicy and made very well. The rice was fluffy and the beans were spectacular. The price was very affordable and I would happily stop by to try their other dishes. read more

Very nice don't mind changing something if it's wrong, well with customer service, food comes out hot always & never frozen.

Excelence service and delicious foodI been visiting this place around 15 years same quality and service

I ordered a family meal (chicken & steak) on Uber Eats and the delivery person delivered to someone with the same name before me and gave her my order and brought her small bag of Mofongo to me. The other Katie (I actually think it was Katy) ate good that night thanks to me! Anyway...I called the restaurant and they were closed, so I thought all was lost but somehow the delivery person got in touch and they messaged me on WhatsApp saying my order was on the way. The food was here in about 15 minutes and was absolutely delicious. I so appreciate the above and beyond customer service that wasn't even the restaurant's fault. I will definitely be ordering again. read more

Today we stopped at this location since it was recommended by a local. I am not familiar with the area & wanted good food after the charity run I completed with my son & husband. The waiter Victor was so attentive, kind and provided prompt service. The vibes were nice, music softly playing in background. The food was amazing- the ribs were my favorite, that my husband ordered. My son order a burger with frys - he loved. I had the bistec with onions- with a side of tostones, delicious!! I would highly recomned & will return! read more

Absolutely delicious fettuccine with Alfredo, and broccoli! Amazing toasted garlic toast, and delicious sweet plantains. Invited me for a sample of the margarita, and it was superb, so I ordered one to share with my girlfriend. Friendly service, and fun music--DJ did really well for playing reggaeton! read more

Have had a few TGTG orders from here and have yet to be disappointed by the amount of food received and the quality. Chicken, rice, beans, and soup are always well seasoned and the service is always super warm and friendly even at the end of the day! read more

Food is excellent! The chicken is moist. They able to get the order to you a timely matter.

Que mucho ha cambiado el servicio! Las chicas te sirven sin ganas y con actitud! Que pena read more

Review based on delivery experiences The past two times we ordered delivery, they took over an hour and a half! And this was with calling once the hour hit to ask about an update and then again 15 min later since they claimed that delivery was already on the way (and we are only a couple of blocks from the restaurant so it should not take so long). The food, on the other hand, is generally good. -grilled chicken: surprisingly good. Meat was lean (non-fatty pieces) and included a good amount. The flavor was quite mild but I prefer this as one can add spices rather than it being salty like they have made some dishes in the past. -large tostones: good amount, came a little soft. Seemed like the oil they were cooked in needed to be changed. -steak encebollado: hit or miss; once it came perfectly flavorful, and another time it was salty and had different flavoring. -Red beans: medium thickness/consistency. Has more beans than some other Dominican places that try to give mostly caldo (broth) Overall the food is generally good and up to par with casual Dominican/Hispanic restaurants. I would not recommend ordering from them. Perhaps pick up is a better option although I have not tried this. read more

This joint has been around for many many years! It's a chain of Dominican restaurants that serve consistent food that hits the spot. Good down to earth Hispanic food. Each restaurant is very close in consistency so you really can't go wrong. Good value and fast service. Can be extremely busy at times. read more

gracias a Jenny y su equip de la mañana por el buen servicio que nos brindó a mi esposo y a mi. esperamos volver pronto.

The menu is limited for it to be a Spanish restaurant. They don't have sandwiches or shakes.. very odd.

A simple dining experience with delicious food! Caridad has some of my favorite Latin comfort food that's quick and easy for me to pickup on my way home. When I have time, I like dining in the restaurant to sip on some sangria with my meal. My favorite go to dish is the boneless chicken chunks served with rice and beans. It hits the spot every time. I would recommend Caridad for the price, quality and amount of food you get. read more

TIP: lunch Specials are served during dinner time BOTTOM LINE: WHO: party of 1 WHY: Dinner WHAT: (Deets) Pernil, yellow rice & red beans lunch (smaller plate) order. The rice (al dente) and beans (creamy and savory) with a squeeze of lime were perfection. Here's the thing, I purchased the meal for the MEAT, not the sides. The meat tasted like it was marinated with too much (or maybe just too long in) vinegar. Additionally, it tasted almost spoiled. So it went in the trash versus my stomach. It's unfortunate because this place came highly recommended. I hear the Mofongo is delish, but I may never know because the undeliciousness of the pernil WHEN: Sunday 2/4/18 WHERE: take away HOW: car/ bike/ public trans 1 train to 137th St. BATHROOM: roomy (2 stall, separate gender) WIFI: beats me DRESS CODE: as you like SERVICE: great, but in this case, I can't give the food any more than 2 stars. read more

The service here is terrible. They don't pay attention to who comes in to be seated. Waited for over 45 mins to be told we could sit at a table to get jumped ahead and yelled at by a consumer after we were told we could sit at the table. Very unprofessional don't come here ever!!! read more

Came here to have lunch with my cousin and the food was super good! We sat upstairs which was super exclusive haha, but the menu has less options listed. I ordered the Shrimp salmon with rice and beans on the side. Their pina colada is yummy. read more

My boyfriend and I love the food here especially their chicken soup! My boyfriend got me a chicken soup and I was enjoying it as usual. Later on I warmed it up more in the microwave, thankfully the microwave at my home doesn't explode when placing metal dish wear because the inside of our microwave is made up of steel etc, otherwise this would have been highly hazardous. Honestly feel very disgusted because I came across two steel/metal/aluminum thick bristles and I bit into one and was confused as to what felt so out of the ordinary. I took it out of my mouth and there it was, a very long metal stick. I got so scared! Then i started digging more and found another one. This is unacceptable! They should be cautious and careful of what falls into their soup etc. I don't feel safe buying from this caridad again for some reason. I could have accidentally swallowed that and choked and it could have been very fatal. Well just imagine swallowing something that's not suppose to go down your esophagus or stomach. I don't even want to imagine how my body would have reacted since I am highly allergic to so many things. One star for the good food, but the other four stars gone because this could have been my life. read more

The food here could be halfway decent If the people who work there actually paid attention and knew how to read and understand notes. They're there for a reason. I'm like a lot of people where if the meal is missing the condiments I'm PAYING for, I expect to get what I ordered, and when I don't get, I have to settle for less. Won't be ordering from here again. Gave them the benefit of the doubt thinking maybe it was a few bad days. Nope. This is a habit. No wonder they have a three star rating. Im sure the positive reviews come from in person where they have no choice but to get it right. When they dont you can see it here. Terrible service. ​ read more

These guys are the worse! I made a order for delivery and I've been waiting 2 hours! I've yet to get any updates I call the store back and they do not want to help me. This business always has the worse delivery timing just for the food to be too cold or salty! read more
