And the price is so right!!! the service is the typical uptown nonsense like I had to ask three times for a glass of water before they brought it..... but the food is so good it almost doesn't matter that the servers can't speak English and forget about you ... honestly the service pisses me off... for years but the food is just too good and well priced I'll still eat here... where else am I gonna go? Sandy across the street is even worse with the service they won't even Acknowledge your presence as a human being. read less

Food and drinks are priced extremely favorable compared to the 16 dollar and up cocktails in most of Manhattan. You can literally order a family combo and feed 4 people with 22 dollars. To complain you didnt just get something for free just because you eat here is insane. I hope you're writing similar reviews at the post office, Mcdonalds, Ikea, Home Depot, etc. This place is great!!! But If you're looking for free stuff, not so much. read less

I normally order a bacon, egg, and cheese which is always well made. It is also cheap which is a plus. Other sandwiches I've tried is their Cuban sandwich and their "Caridad style" sandwich. Their Caridad style is made up of ham, chicken, cheese, lettuce, and tomato. This sandwich would be more enjoyable if it were made with some type of sauce because it can be dry but I'm sure condiments would be an easy fix.
Overall the food is good and I have no complaints. read lessToni-Ann H.1/18/2018 -

We wanted a breakfast and had walked past Caridad a few time on our way to Harley's (see separate review), but hadn't ventured in. This morning we did. Good Call as they say. SO good, so reasonable in price, superb service from friendly staff. After the breakfast experience I went back for more one evening. Fried half chicken, KFC HAH!!!!! This is how you do it!!!!!!Crisp, succulent with a choice of 2 sides $9. Took my son another night it was so good, he raved about the chicken too. I wish I had:
1 went there sooner.
2 had more time to fully explore the menu.
I am not an expert at al on "Latin" cuisine but based on what I had here I really want to know more.
They claim to serve the best rotisserie chicken in NYC, can't confirm this but I reckon it will be hard to beat.
Try it, it's good. read lessPacker_0ne1/18/2017I'm extremely surprise this place has only three stars. The food here is taste great and it's very affordable.

I keep it simple when I come. I stick to either chicken or fish, rice & beans, salad, etc. I love the consistency of the food, always as good as the last time. I visit twice a month, or when I'm in Spanish Harlem. read less

Even though we don't speak Spanish, they will find someone who speaks English. They work very hard to please you and to give you good service. I've been here several times and never had a problem. They have quite a few tv's in the place for which they watch, of course, baseball. It can get loud at times but everyone is there to have a good time. read less

This day i decided to have the "Jose Guillen" - Chuletas Fritas Con Arroz Y Maduros which is fried pork chops with rice and sweet plantains. SOOOO Good. Not my first time in here and it most certainly will not be my last. The mofongo de chicharon is great as well!! read less

Not fancy from the outside, it is wonderful from the inside...with a few sport TVs running.
The main dishes are between 10 to 20 USD each and the portions are typically huge.
The taste was sooo unbelievable good and the food was made fresh!

The chicken salad and chicken with lemon and garlic sauce is AMAZINGGGGGG. Customer service is always excellent. Food is always fresh and perfect. I usually order out. It can get really busy here especially at night and on weekends. They do however have a bar with a tv, they're big on baseball and sports. So if you like to watch the games and drink some beer and eat some good Spanish food this place is definitely for you. Or if you're just a family looking for a good place to eat I also recommend Cardi. read less
