Caribe leans to Dominican and Puerto Rican dishes and those same dishes have a familiar feeling to my Filipino palate. When I visited, I opted for the Chicharron plate over yellow rice. The Filipino version of this dish is called Lechon Kawali. What is it? It's a carnivore's dream, a deep fried slab of uncured bacon. Repeat, deep fried pork belly. Other than foie gras or bone marrow nothing comes close to meat fat decadence than this stuff. It's bad for you but oh soooo good. The garlic sauce tries to cut through the fat but it's a losing game. There's a tiny bar next to the cafeteria style take out displays. There's also extra dining space and bathrooms up a small set of stairs. It's comfortable and clean in there. I liked the vibe. I'll definitely be back. I'm not getting the Chicharron next time, however good it is. I think people my age should only be allowed to have it once a year. If that dish is any indication, there are several items on their menu that will also satisfy.

The oxtail was juicy and tender. The gravy was a lot more watery than I'm used to but it was still pretty decent. My meal was suppose to come with plaintain but instead I got carrots and celery. That was a big disappointment. The ambiance feels like a Caribbean restaurant. The music was lively and I'm aware that there's also a club in the back of the restaurant which is pretty cool.

The place offers takeout, on-demand delivery service, and a spacious dining area to the left behind wooden gate. Since it was a Saturday, I decided to order the Shrimp Rasta Pasta ($16.99 plus tax) since they make it to order and on Fridays and Saturdays too. I took a seat in the dining area as I waited for about 12 minutes when my food was bagged and ready. This pasta dish is an Italian-Jamaican fusion dish, which was served very hot in a round foil container, a good portion with penne pasta in a spicy cream sauce with bell peppers, seasonings & spices and tender shrimp (cleaned). It was about the size of two meals which I enjoyed over two evenings for dinner. I would definitely order rasta pasta again and I would try their Red Snapper (Escovitch Fish), Jerk Chicken and Meat Patties too.

After the first time I burned my mouth, you'd think I'd have learned but I kept eating it anyway. After a couple more visits I discovered the family that runs the place is just as awesome as the food, and despite it being well outside the reasonable commute for lunch, I made several trips up with the gang from work and managed to eat our way through almost the entire menu. Even our fussier people enjoyed the food--no small feat. Not sure about their current status (been closed the last couple times I've stopped by) but if you catch them open it's absolutely worth a visit.

They hooked me up with a FANTASTIC meal--a TON of fall-off-the-bone tender stew and delicious black rice and pigeon peas with some of the biggest plantain pieces I've ever seen! They've been open here in Albany for just over a year (a critical milestone in restaurant operations!), and if you haven't been here yet, you're missing out!

Moist inside, crispy outside with just a bit of heat. A must. Also had a medium portion of the beef stew with vegetables which was easily enough to serve 2. Stew was pleasant with harmonious flavors but the available spicy slaw kicked it up a notch. Accompanied by black rice which now comes with green peas, not mushrooms, and a pleasant plantain patty. (I'm used to plantains sliced like bananas at Cuban places and guess this one is mashed then reconstituted into a patty.) Slices of onion and bell pepper, shown in previous photos, no longer included nor is what looked like a pretty ordinary side salad. Still a very good value for what I received. The interior is spacious and pleasant (apparently a former Starbucks) and a little hard to find with a difficult to read sign.
