The drinks, service and place gets a 10 out of 10 for me. The food is cooked perfectly. Sometimes I'll go to places that exaggerate on the salt and spice but this place is balanced! The portions are not too big or small. A meal here will for sure do the trick without an appetizer. Highly recommend coming here or ordering out. Everything was clean (especially the bathroom). Even with a full house the staff was attentive to cleanliness. I will for sure be returning. Service animals are welcome! read more

I went to the Bronx to enjoy a show at Lehman Performing Arts center and stopped for dinner at Caridad because they have a parking lot. Parking in the Bronx can be a nightmare. I truly enjoyed an excellent dinner and the service was great. The atmosphere in this place was fantastic, a very busy restaurant with lots of people laughing and enjoying their food and having a splendid time. Their roasted chicken is finger licking good. And their palomilla steak with onions is so tender it melts in your mouth. This is Spanish food at its finest. Everything we ordered was fantastic. read more

I came here with a large group for lunch after church service in the area. The place was spacious and quite busy. It had a welcoming feel and warm ambiance. For my appetizer, I ordered the mini fried green plantain bowls filled with crabmeat. This was delicious! The plantain was perfectly cooked and delightfully crispy, while the crabmeat was tender, and well seasoned. I selected the steak with onions with yellow rice for my entree. The steak was juicy, succulent, with a wonderfully flavorful savory sauce. The onions were also tasty and paired well with the steak. The yellow rice was nice and puffy, made just the right consistency. The portions were generous, and I took much of the meal home. Service was good. Our waitress was friendly and everything came out quickly, despite us being such a big group. I really enjoyed the food here, but not sure I would return because it's out of the way in the Bronx. read more

The food is not tasteful at all , I ordered rice , beans, chicken stew . I'm Spanish and my wife's food would kill this restaurants food . The avocado and the fried plantains were the best in the whole order . Beans are watery and made with no love for cooking what so ever! And let's not talk about the stew !I ate it because I was hungry. Fast food cooking for the masses . It's Really bad . No sofrito ,calabasa, no adobo , Who hired the cooks ?? I guess they never eaten good food . Ordered February 28 2026 . read more

If you're in the Kingsbridge Bronx NY neighborhood and looking for some decent Latin food this spot hits nicely. Food is good. I had the grilled chicken with some tostones and rice. I added some garlic sauce and lemon to the chicken to flavor it up a bit. Rice was good and the tostones were lightly crisp. The staff were nice and accommodating. There was some nice Latin music playing lightly in the background. The venue itself is nicely decorated as well. It's a nice place overall to grab a bite if you're in the area. read more

Every single time I order delivery something is wrong on a simple order, the delivery drivers have no respect and when you call them back to complain they give an attitude and disrespect you. I recommend to order from any other Spanish spot than this one. read more

Steak was microwaved and the onions smelled rancid. Do not recommend, my daughter got sick from the food.

We like the food but they give you smaller amount of food for a higher price. I don't mind paying a little more I understand everything is more expensive But please keep giving your cuatomers the same service. I ordered a family combo and now containers are half size . Not happy . read more

Good Spot to eat at the people and ambiance are good and helpful the juice there is also good too.

I wanted Dominican breakfast, googled around the area I was in, and found Caridad. The ambience appeared very inviting and warm and it was just that. They were fast at providing us with everything we asked for and we experienced very friendly service. The lime juice was delicious and perfect in sweetness. The mashed plantains were soft, the fried salami, cheese, and eggs were perfectly cooked, and the sautéed onions were perfectly bitter. I enjoyed my breakfast so much! read more

I've been to a few locations, but this one leaves me with a humble feeling and a satisfied stomach..lol. Great food. Great people. Atmosphere that caters to all customers. Definitely a spot to experience. read more

I'm Dominican and went to buy food: rice, beans, and chicken. I specifically asked the lady for dark meat, but she gave me a chicken rib ( just the bone), along with one wing. I didn't go there to beg for food; I went to buy a meal like any other customer.Where is the customer service there? read more

Service is reliable and has stayed pretty consistent over the years as far as certain wait staff. Ambiance is very welcoming and food is delicious. I give it 3 stars because I went in and had to ask for our plates to be changed due to it being dirty. Then when my side salad got to the table it was also served on a dirty plate. As for-mentioned, I have been here many times over the years with my family and the restaurants cleanliness isn't something I questioned. However my last experience was disappointing. read more

Holy shit this place is a must go for all people that lived in Puerto Rico. I am in love and my wife loved the food also. We lived there in the mid 90's and have not found a place that matched the wonderful flavors of our former home (ceiba, PR). My Dominican coworker introduced this place to me and I am thankful to her for the connection. I cannot wait to share the experience with my bride! So thankful for the food. I ordered arroz con pollo (pigeon peas) it was a huge portion of a half rotisserie chicken perfectly cooked, with brown beans (the PR seasoning) on a huge bed of white rice. I ordered coffee with the lunch and it was perfect. I will dream of this place! I just looked at the reviews of this place and I am offended, WTF Bronx people! Stop down rating this place it's authentic. read more

Food is okay. Environment is underwhelming and staff are surprisingly abrasive. Beyond all understanding no matter how well you attempt to approach them, somehow you get treated with very unsavory manners. Especially if you speak in Spanish that is anything but a Caribbean accent, you get worse service. No idea why. read more

I love this restaurant. Best oxtail in Riverdale. All of what they cook is delicious. I typically order from there at least 1 a week. Excellent prices and service in house and for delivery. They also do catering and it's such a relief to have them so near. When me and my friends go to festivals they cater for our tailgating parties and picnics. Can't go wrong with their pollo horneado and their moro de guandules. Best Sazón! read more

Food is always good, my favorite is the chicken. You can't go wrong with it. It's always flavorful and delicious.

Came to order food to go Cashier had an attitude Staff handling food ignored me as I waiting there in front of them for 15 mins Spent over $70 ... two weeks prior spent $76 and recieved a bottle a wine....when I inquire about the free bottle the Cashier had 5 excuses on why I can't receive the free bottle of wine that we received two weeks prior for spending above $76 Today i spent $72 I do no recommend this spot what's so ever. Must be fluent in Spanish or be a regular to recieve great service. Outsiders do not recieve the same treatment Wait time over 30 mins while waiting inside establishment Will never return read more

So this has been a main staple of my Bronx journey. From the time I moved into the neighborhood this and one other spot was the go to if you wanted decent Spanish food. Caridad being the more upscale sit down for dinner date night spot almost. Over the years they have been touch an go for me in terms of the quality of food for the price point has they have gotten more expensive and food quality and portions down. Sad to say this is no longer my concert go to spot, but when I need a grilled Basa fix and I don't want to cook it myself they got my money. read more

Food here is magnificent! My family and I dine here often. My only complaint is communication of sales. If you cannot get the order correct in your native tongue and you are so busy rushing; it completely defies the purpose you are serving. If you send a food order wrong too many times what does that do for business? Mangu without pickled onions is like pancakes without syrup!!! Please please please, listen to customers when taking food orders, repeat what you've heard to make sure it is correct and STOP RUSHING THROUGH THE ORDERS! Fast work is not good work... Also, phone etiquette, taking another phone call while engaging a customer mid convo is very disrespectful, think about that.... Thank you! read more

I just love Caridad. I still frequent this restaurant and the food is just fantastic as per usual. They are still so welcoming and I truly love whenever I show up, the waitress is so excited to see my fiance and I. Not to mention, it's so close to my home that it's so easy for me to get to. I love their Authentic Dominican food, same way my mom used to cook. Unfortunately, she lives in Florida and I live in New York, so this is as good as it gets for me. I will say, the only con they have is the fact that they do take some time to deliver the food but the food still arrives hot and delicious. read more

Caridad Restaurant - Call Me A Cab Drink - Latin American Near Me - Bronx, New York

I'm so furious at the fact that this place even had the decency to send me this order. I understand things like this happen but ALWAYS check your orders before sending them out. It's unsanitary!! Honestly speaking, the only reason I even gave this place 3 stars is because I've had decent food here prior to this incident and the last. About a month ago I ordered a soup and there was a roach shell inside of it, when I called to make a complaint I was told that what I saw was apart of the soup. I ONLY decided to get food from here was because my hunger compelled me to and there isn't many other options where I live.... BUT NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

I got here just in time. I was working on the holiday as were the staff here. Although there was a language barrier we figured each other out. The food hit the spot and of course I double tipped. I would recommend to others. Staff were friendly, customers were all in the spirit and the place was clean Cheers! read more

Pros: (+) Authentic Dominican Food (+) Steak and onions - OMG!!! (+) They deliver! (+) Portions are large - enough to feed 2 (+) Open late (1am) Cons: (-) Slowest take home service ever! (-) Delivery is slow (-) Packed! (-) Service at counter isn't the friendliest ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ If you want a good experience, then dine in. In my opinion, this location is way better than the Manhattan location. The food tastes much better here. The waitresses are nice. You'll get better treatment than if you were to take out. But most of the time when I come, it's always packed on the weekends. If you're not into the crowds, come during the weekdays to dine in. I have a love hate relationship with this place and I'll tell you why. When the place is packed (usually on the weekends), I'll order for take out. I don't like dining in when the place is over crowded. If you want to avoid the rush hours on the weekend, come early before all the church goers come out of church. However, If you order for take out on weekends, prepare yourself for the longest wait ever! As a matter of fact, you can probably get your nails done, TWICE (mani-pedi) and you'll probably still be waiting. God forbid you ask them how long the wait is so you have an idea for what time to come back, you'll get a lady answer back annoyingly that she doesn't know. So you're a slave to waiting. The delivery is just as long. But I go through this every time and have arguments with myself as to "WHY?!?! did I choose to go to this place???" and I hate myself every time. But 1-1/2 later, your order is ready...you taste that yummy steak & onions (my favorite) and all is forgiven and forgotten. True story. It's a never ending cycle for me. But hey...the food is good! So who cares right? I still like this place...even though I hate the waiting game. =) read more

Besides being so crowded all the time the parking is horrible in the little parking space they have. Food is ok nothing I don't make a big brag about The women who work there are to friendly with your husband so ladies beware I had to tell one get your arm off my husbands shoulder read more

I ordered an order of mashes potatoes here for pick up, which they made me wait for. All for the mashed potatoes to be MADE FROM A BOX. Who the hell orders "un pure de papa" from a Dominican Restaurant for it to be made from a box. Disgrace. When I called to let them know I did not want mashed potatoes from A BOX, the woman on the phone said I should have called and asked if the mashed potatoes were made "naturally" or not. As if it is MY fault they are not making mashed potatoes "naturally". DO NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY HERE. Terrible business. read more

Great this place for a quick meal. Great service, and great food! Ive ordered lunch/dinner & even had them cater my house warming party. Their food is very well seasoned. Tonight I ordered grilled chicken beast with a side salad and it was amazingg. The chicken was juicy and the salad was a full salad with the just right ingredients. Lettuce tomatoes cucumbers and shaved carrots. Yumm The delievery is about 20-30 depending on what you order and they also have their own parking lot! very convient. read more

Caridad Restaurant - Pechuga a la planca/ grilled chicken breast. - Latin American Near Me - Bronx, New York

Somewhere down the line this Caridad restaurant lost its edge. As a local resident for 10 years I've seen it first hand. Customers are not valued as they should here. 1. Food consistency is ignored. Your beans or rice may be too salty one day, you may be given hard rice or a taste less pepper steak. It's bad. 2. Why should you pay $15 for the same food you would take out for $8 & not get 1 bit of any customer service or complimentaries to warrant that? 3. If you don't look like a typical Dominican (whatever that looks like), it seems the staff will treat you differently. Possibly do to language barrier. To that I say, hire people w couple people who can speak both English & Spanish. Given a 2 because there food, when at it's best (Monfongo is best) is edible & traditional but they are simply underperforming & can improve vastly. read more

Caridad Restaurant you are absolutely outstanding, I had an incredible experience here today. Superb location. They got a wonderful menu too. Staff are super pleasant. They're attentive, polite and always on their game. Totally recommend Caridad Restaurant and we will certainly be back again. read more

This used to be a very good place to eat in. Now like most Spanish restaurants, the popular it gets, the worst the service is. I just order over the phone or stop to pick up here. Not my favorite, but very good food. The place is big and can be very intimate, depending on what day it is. It can get loud as well. This is not going to be a long review because its not much to brag about. Good food, nothing to run to, just ok. read more

This venue is one of a small local chain that serves a wide Spanish Caribbean variety including Puerto Rican, Dominican and Cuban dishes. Seafood and meats are incredibly fresh and prices are comfortable. The manager came over to our table to describe the baby goat meat we had ordered, that it was so fresh it had been cavorting on the grass earlier that day. TMI alert!!! I'm carnivorous by nature, but that almost put me off my feed. Almost. Best baby goat I ever had. The soups are decadent. Friday is my favorite day since the soup special is Seafood. The bowl comes brimming with king crab legs, lobster claws and hardy broth. The Sancocho is full of chunk meats and yucca. If you like Pernil, you're in the right place. So juicy. The oxtail lunch special and the roast chicken lunch special are similarly on the mark. Stretch your palate and try the Mofongo- mashed green plantains spicy with garlic, olive oil, and fried pork. Just don't breathe on anyone when you get back to work and that next meeting. Service varies from good to superb. Ask for Aguedo. He's easy on the eyes and even better, an excellent waiter. Save room for the Tres Leches cake. Seriously. It is a slice of heaven. Light cake, with a thin slather of frosting, in a sweet milk sauce, so moist and delectable, you will be smiling from ear to ear from each bite. Get a cafe con leche while you're at it. So good. Portions here are ENORMOUS. A lunch special for one is like a family style serving. It's crazy. You can have lunch and dinner from it and still have enough left over to share with someone else or have again for breakfast. One caveat: Bring earplugs. The cacophonous din of Reggaeton being piped through the healthy sound system is not to be discounted. I make a point of heading there early for lunch around 11:30am to be close to the end of my meal by the scheduled noontime blaring. read more

Caridad in Kingsbridge never disappoints! Always delicious food and marvelous service. Tonight was Karaoke night but it seemed more like a real talent competition. Everyone that sang were very gifted. We were in the mood for our regular dishes; Camarafongo (Shrimp with a fried plantain dish) and pernil (roasted pork shoulder) with rice and beans. But before you even order, you're greeted with a basket of hot, fresh garlic bread. We always ask fo a second basket for 2 simple reasons. The first is, it's just simply delicious and the second being we're simply pigs! Our Camarera Nisa, found a way to make us feel as if we were the only people in the restaurant. But on a Friday night, with every table filled, she proved to be a master. Caridad has a Puerto Rican - Dominican type of ambience. The culture of everyone here is to make you feel welcomed and at home. It's just like the way our relatives treat us on the islands when we visit. As packed as it gets in Caridad, they never rush you to leave. On the contrary, the continue to ask if you'd like something else. If you're not in the mood for an evening cocktail, then you just might like a coffee with desert. There are many Caridads, but the one is Kingsbridge has never let us down! read more

Really good place for food. They offer big delicious portions. An order of food will get two people full. My friends and I shared a shrimp penne a la vodka. Even though this isn't an Italian place, the penne was pretty good. The shrimp made the penne pretty strong tasting. We also had the Chicken Mofongo. It was first time trying this dish and it was delicious. I would never have thought plantains would taste good with Chicken. However, I did not like the separate Chicken pieces that came with the Mofongo though. It was too salty for my taste. If you feel like splurging, get the Virgin Pina Colada. It tastes like heaven, but it will hurt your wallet. It's $7, which is pretty expensive for a drink in my opinion. read more
