It’s hard to believe that I’d ever write a review like this for Caribe Restaurant. I’ve been a longtime customer for many years and I’ve gone to most of their restaurants. At this restaurant, I used to go at least twice a month when I lived in the area.
What’s upsetting is I brought my cousin to have a good dinner at a place, I used to go to. The place was empty and there were only two tables. Yes, they did have a lot of takeout order orders. The young lady seated us fast got us some water and bread disappeared came back about 10 minutes later to take our order which we already knew we wanted. We ordered a daily special, which normally is fast service We were hungry and we wanted to eat fast. 45 minutes later still no food, no service. No waitress, and as I said, there were only three tables in the entire restaurant. The owner and manager were standing in the middle talking to a friend and not even paying attention that the tables were not being attended to.
This is the first time I’ve ever had some terrible service at this restaurant and I’ll be the last because I’m not going back.
My cousin and I looked at each other and said we’re out of here. We got up and left. That was about 45 minutes.
When we were walking out, we told another waitress to just cancel the order and keep it. It’s taking too long. Even she knew the order and she kept saying it was coming out. It’s coming out. We just said when and we walked out.
The owner-manager had no clue of what was going on with his restaurant. He was more interested in talking to his friend and in taking care of all the takeout orders that were there instead of the people in the restaurant. I’m not sure but do people that are sitting in his restaurant take priority since they are there?
I don’t know if to blame the kitchen. But blame the owner for standing there talking to a friend instead of paying attention to his restaurant.
We got in the car drove to 107th and Coral Way sat down and the Latin American 2, were seated, ordered our meal, ate our meal, paid for our meal, and walked out the door in less time than it took for us to order and just wait to us to be ignored. By the way, the Latin American 2 was packed. Almost every single table had people in it and yet we got faster service, better service, faster food delivery, and or charged faster.
Needless to say about this restaurant I’m not going to be returning. But it’s just extremely sad that a restaurant that I used to go to daily and even at least 2 to 3 times a month for dinner would have gotten so bad in their service and organization in their kitchen. But I think the most of all was a manager/owner who had no clue about his restaurant and didn’t even care about his patron.

That restaurant must have a person who supervises the orders. After sitting for 40 minutes, they brought me the wrong food and what I can say about the food is Fatal.

I love the quality and taste of the food. The atmosphere is so peaceful and the music is wonderful. I truly enjoy visiting this restaurant with my family. The waitress Darmi is very sweet and treated me with so much kindness. I highly recommend this restaurant.
I just bought a meal, the pork steak, I only had a glimpse of it, it was tough, tasteless, poorly cooked and something I mistook for chicken breast. I had eaten there before but in reality I won't go back, nor do I recommend it. The quality of their dishes has gone down

Since the restaurant opened I have ordered food from them. Several times they have made mistakes by delivering short and/or what we did not order. Today they put the cover on the knob. After picking up the food they called us to inform us that they had delivered another customer's order to please return it to them. Since we had not opened the bag I told them that I would return it to them (it would have been fair if they had offered to come to my house and make the change) when I got to the restaurant they told me that I owed them $2.00, it's not because of the money, But since they delivered the wrong order and I took it back to them, they should have been held responsible for the balance. When I complained, the girl at the counter got angry because she had to pay the $2, my response was that in my opinion I paid the $2 and that is what they are worth as a company and employee...they have lost a client

We ordered one order of regular imperial rice and another without cheese for a birthday. And when we went to pick it up, it wasn't ready and they gave us peasant rice that was very salty. My daughter always orders it there but this time they didn't fulfill the order.
