Stick to the simple dishes and you'll be happy, this is not a fancy place but the food is clean and good.

Always fast and cheap way to eat on the run.

good, fast, inexpensive!

by mubtez

I'm so glad they are open again after closing to change the space. Strangely, I've not eaten there at the restaurant - I always get take out on the way home from work about once a week. Rice and beans, excellent, and most of the Cuban food is good. Chinese dishes vary - if you are used to Chinatown traditional restaurants, well this won't be it. But the simple dishes are very good - fried rice, green beans with black bean sauce, etc. I've never had anything I didn't like, and the price is always right!

• Pros: good decent food in a NYC original, cheap, fast
• Cons: one of the waiters has some NY attitude going on!

GREAT SPOT

by dcritique

THE FOOD IS VERY GOOD. TRY THE PORK CHOPS AND WORK YOUR WAY OUT FROM THERE. FRIED DUMPLINGS ARE THE BEST IVE HAD. STAFF IS JUST THE BEST. IF YOU GO YOU MAY SEE ME BY THE WINDOW NEAR RHE DOOR. ENJOY

the worst!

by zenias

I think the restaurant is horrid! The calamari was tough as tires, the rice was undercooked, the sauces was watery and gross.

One of the best deals in NYC

by ronpagan

If you live in NYC and have not been to La Caridad than you are cheating yourself out of a great New York experience. This is stick to your ribs type stuff at a great price. I would stick to the Cuban food in particular the beef stew. This is not necessarily a date place but if you are looking for a good meal on the cheap you cant be La Caridad. Im getting hungry just writing about this place. Next time you go to a show at the Beacon stop by here first for a great meal.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Great Food

Eat and run!

by mkevina

It's 90% Chinese, 10% Cuban. The food is cheap but one of the waiters treats his customers like dogs. The portion is big so eat quick and leave!

• Pros: Price, Portion, Cuban
• Cons: Service, Limited Menu

Chuleta frita!

by ersatz0

$10 (including tip) gets you three monster pork chops with a side of sweet plantains and salad. And that is about the most expensive thing on the menu...

Excellent value and consistently good

• Pros: chuleta frita, food, value
• Cons: flourescent lighting, girlfriend hates it, can be overly filling

Quality At Caridad's

by ChaseMe

I am a frequent Diner at Caridad's. The food is always delicious and made to order. Even if it's not on the menu they usually have it. There are some things as hispanics we love to eat, but the prep time is not available. The Service is good, sometimes when it's packed you can wait about half hour for the food. I think that is the only incovenience I have encountered. Overall, I Love this restaurant.

• Pros: Inexpensive, Excellent flavor, Convenient Locations
• Cons: Sometimes too crowded
