Great reliable Dominican food!! Carne guisado with rice & beans always hits and remains a top comfort food in the Latin world for me. Delivery is always quick, and staff is always friendly read more

I am a Dominican writing about this place: Food arrives incomplete, overcooked and the service -- poor. I ordered a $100 order....it was incomplete. When I called she was telling me that the uber driver stole the tostones. Dominican businesses pride themselves on service, quality y el cliente. I won't order again. read more

Was working in the area that I'm not familiar with but I'm aware of La Caridas other locations ... wished it was lunch time so I could have the roast pork with rice and beans but it was morning so opted for breakfast... the pancake sandwich with bacon and sausage was excellent... coffee was a bit strong but the service is great and enjoyed breakfast ... read more

tres golpes is good but they forgot the onions . i didint notice till i got home . best tasting part of the dish for me .

Another great find just cruising around looking for another Breakfast spot....... Real old school but clean & classic looking; very airy & plenty of light even with being under the L.... They have an A rating which is always nice to see; our waitress was a sweet heart an older lady like my nana who loves her job loves to feed people ......... If you speak Spanish it's s plus but no necessarily; this is a gem in this neighborhood..... happy people working here they give off good energy & serve great food & coffee..... also they play very enjoyable Spanish music.... I felt like I was on vacation ......... The wife had their 5 Star Breakfast for $ 10.99; French toast, 5 silver dollar pancakes, two eggs with bacon & sausage links ..... was delicious ..... I had my normal; Corn-beef hash & eggs over easy, hash & home fries well done for $ 9.95..... also very good .... We normally would hit Crossbay Diner but they are getting very expensive...... this place has very fair prices n gives awesome table service ...... We will be back for lunch or dinner to explore their menu..... from what I smell now coming from their kitchen just after eating a late breakfast I might be ready for lunch ..... (11:00 am) lol, I'm full from their breakfast ........ Sorry no pictures this time ..... we were very hungry so the food had no chance ..... next time for sure ... Thanks & hats off to the entire team over here !!! Greg D & family read more

The service is loose casual. Food is okay but this visit it was a hit and miss. Cold food. Not seasoned. read more

Caridad Restaurant - Spanish Near Me - Woodhaven, New York

I've ordered here often mainly because of the lack of options in the area. Especially for takeout. I find that the food is delicious. I like the sauce they use for their mofongo. It actually tastes authentic. Their breakfasts are flavorful. Their buffet options are decent and so are the restaurant hours. I am just upset by how little their portions can be (especially the shrimp) and they have forgotten parts of my order before so that loses a star too. This restaurant is still one of the most solid choices in the area- but I would suggest it more for dining in. read more

Caridad Restaurant - $16 for 7 pieces of shrimp - Spanish Near Me - Woodhaven, New York

Food wasn't bad.. it used to be better, To be honest the waitresses are very rude. They're also not too expensive. I've been going to this restaurant since I was a little girl and I took my children there now. They definitely DO add gratuity automatically to your check, and also a "beverage tax" no idea what that's for. But if you're interested in a quick bite of some authentic Dominican food it's not bad. They haven't renovated the place since I was a kid. Same seats, same everything, and NOT in a good way. This place definitely needs a revamp. But either way, it could be worse. read more

Caridad Restaurant - Barely cheese, 3 tomatoes slices and some type of eggs - Spanish Near Me - Woodhaven, New York

oor service. Very rude workers. I made a three meal order. Missing some items. Instead of them trying to figure out a way to make things right. A female workers was quick to accuse me of trying to get free food. I've ordered in the past and never had an issue. PS. The food is okay but definitely not worth the hassle from this location. read more

We love this spot for good Dominican food. We've now taken out many times and dined in twice. They have a variety of really delicious options. The times we've dined in pre-covid, we experienced a couple of odd things, like prices being more than stated on the menu, and the receipt not adding up accurately. So we just do takeout there now. The beef stew, roasted chicken, and oxtail are all amazing and highly recommended. They give you plenty of rice to smother all that yummy sauce in. The maduros (sweet plantains) have been consistently harder than we like but maybe that's just what they do. This place is a gem in Richmond Hill/Woodhaven. Definitely check it out! read more

This place is ok. I ordered the garlic shrimp which was amazeballs yummy but for 18 bucks and 7 shrimp, I don't think I'll be ordering again. Also ordered the chicken asopao which tasted a bit off. I figured out it was the chicken. They used bbqed chicken it in so the whole thing tasted a little bit like that charbroiled taste. I could see the blackened chicken skin on some of the parts. I can appreciate being resourceful and not wasting product (being left over chicken) but that's just not right. They totally screwed up the flavor. read more

Caridad Restaurant - Garlic shrimp - Spanish Near Me - Woodhaven, New York

Ordered their boneless chicken chunks with white rice and beans. Good flavor. Will definitely order again.

Best Dominican food in the area, service is great... if you are looking for good authentic Dominican food this is the place to go...

I've had breakfast here a few times it's average. Dinner time is where it's at if your craving some good Dominican food, they have good size portions meaning one meal can feed 2 people. The rice and beans is awesome here, to top it the penil or boneless chicken chunks are excellent with the rice and beans... I Usually order out delivery is fast!!!! If your going in to the restaurant to take out you can wait at there small bar and have a beer or glass of wine. Good overall read more

The Dominican breakfast is what often get here. It's really delicious.! My main concern is the service. Some days you wait more than an hour for your food and other days your meal is ready within minutes. You just don't always know. I think it's customary to provide water for each person at the table without asking. You have to ask for everything here; you're water to your check. Overall the food is great and it's our go to spot for good Dominican food. read more

Probably some of the best mangu I've had in a very long time. More items on the menu than other Caridad spots, of course the fresh squeezed juice. Service is F-A-S-T and friendly. Mmmm...yesss. read more

$10 for Dominican breakfast this place is a rip off there's nothing special about their breakfast for it to be $10 you might as well take your money elsewhere. The service here sucks as well PS I'm Dominican read more

Good food! Mofongo with Pernille Is delicious! Bf had breaded chicken cutlets with rice and beans. He did order yellow rice and even after the waitress confirmed yellow rice, he got white rice. It was still good no matter what kind of rice. Sweet plantains weren't sweet and still needed to ripen. Overall no matter the hiccups, I will go again. read more

Great diner to get some good Dominican food. I only had tres golpes for breakfast which is my favorite. The Mangú, Over Easy Eggs, Fried Salami and Fried Cheese was delicious and coffee was nice and strong as well. I've had better typical dominican breakfast before and this one was one of the good places close by to me to get this. There are better places to get this food but this really wasn't bad at all. I have to try lunch and dinner here soon. read more

My family and I have been ordering from here for years. Its never a let down. They are very nice and attentive each time i go in. We love the pork chops with rice and beans, and sweet plantains. We always get the mofongo with penil. We have ordered many things off the menu but this is our go to place for Mofongo. Today i picked up some grilled chicken and sweet plantains. Also good. read more

The best! I order from here often. The lunch specials are amazing. I can easily feed two for the price of one lunch special. I've never had a meal here that wasn't great. Get the pernil! read more

The food is always good. This is my go to restaurant when I do not feel like cooking.

I had the misfortune of having a terrible breakfast here today. The food was average and fine, but the waitress was horrendous. The worst server experience I have ever had dining. I work in the service industry as well, and give people that work in the service industry a lot of slack and leeway, as I know how busy things can be. However today only 3 other parties were seated, so this was not an excuse that could have been made. First my drink order was forgotten about. I just ordered a hot tea. I was not asked if I wanted any milk, sugar, or honey. When I kindly asked for a refill, I politely thanked the server as she poured hot water into my cup, but did so in disgust and turned her back away from me. In her anger she also spilled the hot water onto the table. After losing my appetite from the lack of the most basic customer service, I asked for my leftovers to be packed up. I told the server I could have done it by myself and just needed a plastic container, but they took my plate away and threw the food away. They were obviously not paying attention what I was asking them to do. Finally, the manager came over to apologize. The first of the staff to see how everything was going with the meal. I told him that my food was thrown away by the staff and asked for 50% off my meal, since I only ate 1/2 of my food. Which he agreed to. Truly unsatisfactory, considering how many options of eating establishments there are in New York. That was no way to treat a customer. read more

So my wife and I have been craving some good Spanish breakfast... So we get to caridad, grab a table and the waitress comes right over gives us our menu and ask what we would like to drink.... We both order coffee and look thru the menu, both wanting some mangu... The waitress comes back and ask us are we ready to order and we ask for some mangu and she replies were all out of mangu! Mind you it's 8am! And your of mangu? Really? So we order some yuca instead: she comes back 5 mins later and says were out of yuca, we only have a little piece left! Out of yuca? Mind you it's only 8am! We requested our bill and paid four dollars for two small coffees, waitress didn't say sorry, she didn't have a worry in the world! I've eaten here before, not sure if it's new owners or new management but this place has taken a turn for the worst! read more

I dont learn my boyfriend wanted Spanish food ...told him lets go to EL REY but no he want from this place ....they over charged and give so little food .... Believe me I would die of starvation than to come here again read more

Terrible service & food wasn't good either. I went based on the positive reviews.... We had the Paella... Sorry, but that was the worst Paella we've ever tried. It was like their own little invention honestly lol it was your typical Dominican styled rice & beans , mixed with some few pieces of seafood. Two completely different and distinct flavors which completely threw us off... But then we figured, hey... Maybe it's not their specialty. So then we ordered Cuban Sandwiches because we just couldn't eat that "Paella". To our disbelief the Cuban Sandwiches were even worse! Not only was the bread burnt but they didn't even have pickles or ham and they never told us until we asked why it wasn't in our sandwiches lol ... We live in the neighborhood but wouldn't consider going back :( read more

Yesterday I had a craving for a Cuban sandwich so I went to Caridad, as I have in the past and my craving was satiated. Their offering is what I assume to be, by my informal and nonscientific research, a Dominican style Cuban sandwich, IE sans mayo and mustard (and why would you?!?) which I am accustomed to, being a native of Washington Heights. Delish! Their rice and beans are scrumptious. They've got a full menu for all meals so you can stop in for breakfast, lunch or dinner. They recently renovated so its a nicer layout than before. In all honesty, we've gone in times past and the food was less than stellar but I guess they can have an off day. all in all, a great place and the prices are friendly for the wallet. read more

So I ordered the oxtail and was disappointed to find a plate of fat and bone placed in front of me. It came with a side of white rice and beans. The beans had a little extra unexpected addition-- a course short black hair. Needless to say, I won't be returning. Also, for the small amount of actual edible food they give you, the prices are quite high. Especially since this place is on Jamaica avenue. read more

I'm no expert on Spanish food, but I eat here about once a month with my Puerto Rican family and they know their Spanish food and love it. There are lots of other Spanish restaurants in the neighborhood, but the food is much better and more authentic (Dominican) here. It's very clean, staff are friendly, and food is always fresh and delicious. A couple things to watch out for: 1) They serve hot buttered bread at the beginning of your meal, but they are stingy on the butter (like most Spanish restaurants, what's that all about?). 2) If your check hits $45 then they automatically include 15% tip so no need to tip again (I'm cool with that, except I wish they would let me know as sometimes I ended up tipping double). read more

Returned here again 3 years later, and guess what ?the service was even more horrendous than before . Young girl with short blonde hair approached our table with attitude like we just inconvenienced her, she handed us over the menu without saying one word to us ... ok.... I let it go I said maybe she said something and I missed it, 15 minutes later passed by and no drink order no waitress. We are looking back trying to give her the hint that we are ready and nothing she just sits down on the chair by the cashier with her back against us. Waited about and extra 3 minutes and nothing no one approached us !!!!! We just grabbed our stuff and left . The fact that management allows this type of behavior and service is disgusting after so many years. DO NOT WORK AS A WAITRESS IF YOU DONT LIKE PEOPLE. Worst customer service I have ever encountered in any Hispanic restaurant. read more

They are always open late which I appreciate on cold nights when I'm craving a hot large soup. All the soups are awesome and generous portions which I love. The breakfast is always hot and fresh. Do yourself a favor and get the mangu! ( Tres Golpes Dominican Breakfast) The prices are good for the amount of food that you receive and the staff is always very friendly. Definitely a cozy Spanish restaurant that you always come back to. read more

The food is amazing ! My boyfriend and I decided to get breakfast from here and we loved every minute of it. The freshly squeezed orange juice was so yummy. We had the breakfast with the tres golpes breakfast. It was super generous ! The mashed green plantains was my favorite of out everything on the plate. The pickled onions was also on my list of favorites. The eggs were cooked to my liking. Highly recommend this place. Its our new favorite restaurant to grab breakfast! read more

Excellent. We always get the bistec con cebollo and the pollo de pechuga with white rice, beans and tostones. That rice is the perfect texture and flavor (salty but not too much). The price is decent and you will definitely have food left over for a 2nd plate and the next day. For cheap authentic Spanish food this is my go-to spot. read more
