“We had chiccharones and goat stew. My Dominican friend said it was the best chicchones she ever ate. Another friend said the goat stew was excellent. I really recommend this place for flavorful food. The owner is so nice and made sure everything was good for us.“

“This place is great, I wish I lived closer! I thought it was just a juice bar, but was pleasantly surprised to see that they had wraps, sandwiches or other options as well as empanadas! We were immediately greeted with a smile and kindness, and when I asked if I could customize a drink, they assured me that they make juice fresh on the spot for each customer so I could do whatever I needed for my personal taste. While going over the menu, I noticed that they also have a juice cleanse option where you could take premade juices home. Our heard a nice salsa, music playing quietly in the background and really loved my experience here! Super clean, and very welcoming. Next time I’m passing through. I’ll make sure to go out of my way to stop by.“

“First off the staff are amazing - warm and friendly. Like you just walked into someone’s home. They patiently guided us through the menu, and brought out frozen glasses with our perfectly chilled beer. Ordered the chicken and pork stews with a side of plantains, everything was delicious. Almost made 5 stars - could have been slightly less salty and it would’ve!“

“The closest you will get to Dominican food without being in Dominican Republic. The sangria is also extremely strong, which is an amazing thing. Absolutely love this place, strongly recommend everything on the menu especially the rotisserie chicken, best chicken ever, my go-to spot every time I cross the GWB. 5/5“

“Finally…authentic, delicious Dominican food that I don’t have to go into NYC to order. My gathering was such a hit , catering was the best! The pictures won’t do this place justice. It’s the taste of a hole in the wall I missed so much. From their chicharron (fried pork rinds), to classic mangu (mashed plantains) with cheese, eggs + sausage. I’m drooling just looking through my food pictures from them. This review is long overdue. Trey it for yourself you won’t regret it!! Did I mention how friendly they all are? The service was great too!“
“Best pork shoulder I've had in a long time from any restaurant. Everything is on point! Nice and clean restaurant as well. Great atmosphere to dine in. Will be back soon. Definitely recommend.The most delicious pork I have eaten in a long time that came from a restaurant. The black beans and rice and even the yellow ones were perfect. Good atmosphere to eat inside and everything is also very clean. I definitely recommend it and will return later.“

“Good place...I would come back. I got some shrimp and octopus salad in a vinaigrette to stay. Very fresh... very good, served in a bowl on top of some chopped lettuce with a slice of lime. Some of the workers here don't really speak any English... but there was someone here who was able to help me even though my Spanish kind of sucks. A delivery of food from one of the restaurant's vendors was coming in while I was standing at the counter to order, and I had to keep moving out of the guy's way as he went in and out of the store with the hand truck. A bit of a pain, but I forgive them since they've got a fully functional and clean All-Gender Bathroom. The stuff here ain't cheap, but it's quality.“
“This place is very clean, has nice staff, and cooks up pretty authentic Dominican food. I ate a delicious plate of tres golpes and received a fresh plate of food with a generous portion of mangu. Wish we had places like this on the West Coast. I will come back for sure next time I’m in NYC!“

“Food was hot and delicious. In an ideal world I would have liked a bit more separation between all the people coming in to pick up food vs dining in. I dined in with my family and had a great time, food was fresh.I liked the paintings on the wall. I would go back again.Parking: Parking meters on block in front of location.“

“Was pleasantly surprised when I first saw them open. Had been looking for a new place to eat and La Caridad 72 did not disappoint. The food is, in a word, Delicious!!! It's been a real joy sampling the many culinary delights found on their diverse menu. They have something tasty for every type of palette. Recently tried their beef stew and I can't stop thinking about the sauce. Utterly amazing!!! Between their wonderful food and their friendly, top notched staff, you can not go wrong dining at La Caridad 72. Bring your friends. Bring your family. Bring your kids. You WILL NOT be disappointed!!! Enjoy, I did :-)“

“Pretty good place for authentic Dominican food. Prices are reasonable, though the food can sometimes be hit or miss. As I’ve been ordering the oxtail sometimes it’s extremely tender other times. It’s hard. As always the Cubano sandwich is always a quick bite one of the best. As for trying their many other dishes, they were all good such as the Don Miguel, the salmon and beef stew.“

“I recently visited this Spanish chicken restaurant and overall had a positive experience. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, creating a pleasant environment for a meal. The staff was attentive and friendly, contributing to the overall enjoyable dining experience.Now, let's delve into the highlight—the Spanish chicken. While the dishes were tasty, I couldn't help but feel that they fell slightly short of my expectations. The chicken was well-cooked, but there was a subtle element missing that would have elevated it to perfection. Perhaps a bit more seasoning or a unique twist could have added that extra flair.Despite this minor critique, the menu offered a diverse selection of Spanish-inspired dishes. The appetizers, such as patatas bravas and chorizo croquettes, showcased the chef's creativity and commitment to traditional flavors. The presentation was noteworthy, with each dish appearing as a carefully crafted masterpiece.The drink menu was well-curated, featuring a selection of Spanish wines and cocktails. The sangria, in particular, was a delightful complement to the meal, adding to the overall enjoyment of the dining experience.The dessert, churros with chocolate dipping sauce, was a sweet ending to the meal. The churros were well-prepared, offering a satisfying conclusion to the culinary journey.In conclusion, while the overall experience was positive, I've rated this restaurant four stars as I believe there is room for improvement in the flavor profile of the Spanish chicken. I still recommend this establishment for its ambiance, attentive service, and creative menu, with the hope that the culinary aspects can reach“

“Habichuelas con dulce. A national drink of the Dominican Republic, usually made during Easter.Sold for years in this corner by Nena a mainstay in the Dominican Community. Who was really sweet.A constant line of folks come and go. I was lucky and had no wait. As I heard some days, the lines are pretty longThe spot is pretty popular. On the day I went, there was media as well.Made with red beans, cinnamon, nutmeg, coconut milk, evaporated milk, and dunked with milk cookiesThis drink is great. It's almost like hot chocolate but not quiet. It's warm , silky smooth little nutty, creamy and sweet. It'a known as a deseert as well.It does have a holiday drink vibe to it.Habichuelas means beansThe drink is $2. They also sell a corn based dessert. Looked popular. Will get it next time.“

“this is the best Dominican restaurant In New Jersey the food is always good, I moved to NJ from NYC summer 2022 and was looking for a authentic Dominican homemade style restaurant and after trying different places and different restaurants went to many different cities I saw a tiktok suggestion of this place went on a drive because let me tell you it is a 25 min to go and 25 to come back but the mofongos and yaroas are worth it, you also should try their Plato del dia la ensalada mixta is a most, other than that the place is always clean and the people is very friendly, i love it!!“

“Space is limited, if possible I recommend buying to go. However, we were a group of 6 and the ladies kindly helped us accommodate two tables. The food was delicious, and the portion was more than enough. Perfect to get out of the fast food routine to eat something more homemade. I would definitely go again“
“Saw the restaurant on YouTube and decided to go. Not sure what I got. But it was amazing. The beans were excellent, full of flavor and not over powering. The pork was nice and tender, used a plastic knife to cut easily. The place itself is honestly a questionable place, hole in the wall place. However the chef Anita and the server (seen on YouTube) were amazing. $20 for two people. Salad (not pictures) was also included“

“It's great place to try out !!!!! At first I wasn't to sure, I don't like eating much Spanish restaurant but my own cooking ? but I gave it a try and let me tell you, I try to go at less 2 or 3 times a month....My family and I love going, the price for the amount of food we get! no where else ! And everything taste Divine, ?The price is just right!!!DON'T WASTE NO MORE TIME AND GO ...Kid-friendliness: If your child doesn't like loud music, it's not the place or you can ask the owner if she would be kind to lower it, which I don't see why notParking: It's a busy area, but we always find parking, just gotta have a little bit of patient when looking for parking.“
“This place is definitely serving the community with delicious food at low prices! The pork chop over rice and fried chicken/baked chicken over rice were $8 each! It also came with beans and a fair amount of food. I think the smaller plates are $5, so wow - what a deal! It's worth the visit, so please support this man!“

“The food was delicious. Rarely do we find a place that makes Dominican food the right way. Compliments to the chef (La doña in the back, probably una abuela ya) the Mofongo was on point, not too dry mot drowning in garlic or sauce. Didnt feel like somone was trying to cover up bad coocking with salt.The whole family loved their dishes. The Juice could use some work but I would still recommend this place and will definitely be coming back here.I suggest you give it try if you are ever in the mood for some good Dominican Food ??La comida estaba muy buena. Le recomiendo esta local a cualquiera persona que esté buscando comida Dominicana.Siento que no todos los que dicen que tienen comida Dominicana lo save cocinar bien. Pero aquí to salo delicioso. Te lo recomiendo“
