3 golpes  salami, eggs, cheese and manguu
Shandy G.

for breakfast, try their 3 golpes!! THE BEAT MANGU I'VE EVER TASTED For lunch/dinner, I usually get the stew chicken with yellow rice, black beans, and sweet plantains. I'm hungry again just trying this!

Without any delay, there are ongoing negative reviews, aiming at Caribe's "inadequate" or "rude" service but that didn't stop one of my sisters from making Mother's Day reservations. On the contrary, service was excellent. In the middle of this predominantly Italian neighborhood, there's Caribe Restaurant. Stone facade exterior stands out from the few businesses on the strip. But I have to give Caribe some props for getting all fancy and stuff and trying to hook up their restaurant with a so-called rustic interior: exposed ceiling pipes- (not sure if this is intentional or not---but hey, I think they wanna do like folks in NYC), metal accents here and there and a 'pot rack' ceiling lamp. But what really threw me off, was the freaking head of a cow as soon as you walk in with big as* horns and a reindeer head (in the back dining space) behind me. That sight, really wasn't my bag of chips. At. All. And since when did Dominicans get on this freaking taxidermy craziness? I honestly thought I was in a hunting lodge. Anyhow, service was great for my party of 8. By the way, if you don't know the get-up in some Dominican restaurants don't take offense- if waitresses don't engage in non-stop chitchatter with you or have an ear-to-ear smile, it's just how they do. However, our server was spot on- girl didn't even take orders down on paper,- she just memorized everyone's orders by heart and didn't skip a beat when dishes were brought to the table. Offerings here are typical Dominican: Mangú, Fried White Cheese, Fried Eggs for Breakfast and Moro with your choice of stewed meats for Lunch or Dinner. Martinis? Nope. Forget it about it. Not the spot. Maybe a Sangria otherwise keep it straight up and nothing fancy. Portions? Ridiculously large. Prices are reasonable for typical, down-home food. For a low-key Dominican restaurant, Caribe came through without me heading to Washington Heights.

This is one of the best decisions I've made while in the Bronx!! We found Caribe on Yelp while we were craving Dominican food. AMAZING! I think the table service is new, but the food was delicious! The manager even came over and thanked us for coming! Will definitely be back and will have to try the take out family special combos!

I have to say the first day i go the menu to this restaurant i did not think i was going to love the meal that i order form them, or let them host one of my occasions, but i did. the first meal that i had was the steak, chicken breast, shrimps fried and sweet plantains , let me tell you it was one great plate, that I host a party with there meals, and it was a hit., if you like Spanish food please stop by.

This is place is kind of small but as far as food it definitely gets the Job done in for coming back for more. I have eaten here plenty of times and not once anything threw me off or the food was bad. I usually try to order different things all have been great. On this visit I ate with my mom. For appetizer I had the Shrimp Rellenos, at first I was thrown off cause I'm used to the "cup" filled plantains but these where regular. When I tasted it was still as amazing as any other establishment. For dinner I had the whole redsnapper deep fried with rice and beans. It was all it was to be. Fresh, perfectly fried, nice golden brown, so nicely seasoned and delicious. I would definitely come back here and reccommened it.

Food is dry and flavorless. Ordered once and the rice was hard , means flavorless , chicken was rubbery.

I had family coming to visit and they requested for PR food…read more Then It hit me, there's no more puertorican food places left! If you really think about it the Dominican food has taken over the Bx. I searched, and found this place. The moment you step in you are greeted with the warmest blessings. The 2 beautiful people that worked there made our time there so memorable. The food was out of this world let me tell you. Also, I will say it is AFFORDABLE. portion size was huge and the place was so CLEAN. Food: Pernil: 10/10 flavorful and tender Yellow (arroz con gandules) and Black rice with the beans: 10/10 both were good and couldn't even decide which one was better Pulpo 9/10 : fresh and tangy, cut into small pieces so you can top it on your rice Alcapurrias: 8/10 great and made differently then what I'm used to but it was sooo good I'd come again for this alone Juices: Ask them to try the juices and they will let you. We tried it all. Came home with passion fruit (parcha) and guyaba (guanabana) Delicious 10/10 It was so fresh and they don't add too much ice so you get all the juice taste. All in all I'm coming here from now on. A true BX staple for the community and a true essence of the Bori pride resides here. If you miss PR, come here.

Took an hour to receive burnt to a crisp alcapuria. Absolutely the worst representation of puerto…read morerican food. Run away!

Came with some friends who ate here before and recommended the Dominican food here. While service…read morewas a bit slow, and you're charged for water (no tap, only bottle), food was bomb. I got the fried Boca chica red snapper fish with yucca fries. Fish was fried to perfection. Fries were delicious and in an addictive garlicky sauce. I was disappointed because they have a specials menu but the waiter said none of the specials were available (and they had an oxtail stew for Sunday which would've been bomb)! My husbands fried chicken dish was so good. The wings, thigh, and drumstick were fried to perfection and super juicy inside. The tostones were delish too! There is valet parking but i think it's $15.

I rarely leave one-star reviews, but this experience--and the response to my feedback--left me with…read moreno choice. My friends and I arrived at Sho J Oregano's Crescent Avenue location at approximately 9:45 PM. The restaurant's posted closing time was 10:00 PM, yet we were told they would not seat us. Disappointed but willing to give them another chance, we paid for a taxi to their White Plains Road location, which was listed as being open until 11:00 PM. We arrived around 10:00 PM only to be told that they were also closed and would not serve us. The result? We wasted time, money on transportation, and an entire evening chasing a meal at a restaurant that was supposedly open. What made the experience even more disappointing was the response after I shared my review. Rather than acknowledging the inconvenience or apologizing for the confusion, the restaurant chose to challenge my account. I have no reason to misrepresent what happened. My review reflects exactly what my group experienced that evening. This isn't about expecting to be served after closing. It's about arriving during the posted business hours at two separate locations and being turned away both times. If the kitchen closes early or there is a last-seating policy, that information should be clearly posted online and at the restaurant. Customers shouldn't have to guess whether "open" actually means the business is still serving guests. For a restaurant that has received so much praise, I expected far better customer service and accountability. Great food can earn awards, but honesty, consistency, and respect for customers are what earn loyalty. Based on my experience, I cannot recommend making a special trip here unless you're prepared for the possibility that the posted hours may not reflect when they'll actually serve customers.
