Best Dominican Restaurant in New York

I was actually in the neighborhood and I got stopped by the sign outside the restaurant that stated "scan for a free empanada". although this ad came with no strings attached I still bought a pina colada on the side which was amazing by the way. I need a little bit of help with the app and although manager seem like he was about to have lunch he did not mind stopping to help me. the staff was super friendly and allow me to feel welcome. I enjoyed my pina colada so much that I came back to order the family meal for dinner. (I am very picky and particular about how I am treated where I spend my money) I live in long island and didnt mind traveling on the train just to have it again. Now I must say I did come 20 minutes before closing and I am pleased to say the same greeting that I received in the middle of the day is the same greeting that I received at the end of the night and I'm pretty sure the staff was super tired. I felt super welcome and I will definitely go again.

This restaurant was absolutely incredible!!! I cannot recommend it enough. The staff was PERFECT! So incredibly kind attentive and understanding. Went above and beyond, truly! And my graduation day a memorable day. The place is so comfortable and inviting, it's nicely decorated and clean. The food is delicious and well plated. The portions are great for the price-- an unbeatable value. Thank you so so so much Caridad. You have gained a customer for life

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!

Been coming here since high school that was 30 years ago . Now that I have moved away I always make sure to stop by when I am In town to take food back home.

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!

Me encanta la decoration que tienen y tienen una energia que me Manda para Puerto Plata en la Playa Como se gosa y la comida me ace preguntar que esta aciendo mi Tia en esta cocina? Siguen adelante que tienen los hispanos en su lado. I love the decorations and the energy here makes me feel like I am in Puerto Plata in the beaches having fun, and the food has me wondering what my aunt is doing in their kitchen, I hope you guys keep moving forward you guys have the support of the Hispanic community here.

If you're ever uptown in NYC , and find yourself in the mood for a delicious burger, I mean messy , sloppy and fully loaded then stop in and order the "Dominican Burger". You will not be disappointed. The seasonings - mixed with the toppings make this burger official. For only $17 (lunch special) , with fries and a free drink included, you can't beat this deal.

The food was delicious. The service is superior. Our server Victor really paid attention to every detail. They serve traditional Dominican and American. We held a small meeting on the 2nd floor. The Best!!! Thank You Caridad ❤️

I just had an event catered by Caridad for 150 people for a graduation party. I followed their recommendations based on the amount of people and ordered a variety of trays. Not only was the taste of the food high quality but the presentation and the care for delivery was phenomenal. I ordered several trays that were individually placed in boxes which makes it not only easier to stack for delivery but allows for your food to arrive presentable. The sauces for the trays were packaged separately as well so it was fresh and allowed for reheating if needed without being dried up. Everyone raved about the food, I was so happy when I cleaned up too because I hate wasting food when I throw out plates full of food and all the plates for this event were empty. Everything about Caridad is a go-to, from quality, service, cost, variety, food handling, and taste. Will not disappoint and thats coming from a foodie.

I always go to this place and it never disappoints me. The food comes in big portions and the taste is really good. I love their Dominican Burger and Chicken Steak. The empanadas in appetizers is very fresh and comes with a delicious sauce. You should definitely try it.

Very community driven and family oriented. Tonight was my first time coming here and I know I’m definitely coming back. The staff here are so welcoming and it feels like I’m entering my family home with the ambience. Food here was made fresh with a lot of care. 10/10

Everything about this restaurant is incredible. Best mofongo, best tres leches, and best ownership. I will take a 90 minute subway ride to come here, the food and the service is more than worth it!
