About La Caridad 72

La Caridad 72 offers authentic Chinese Cuban cuisine on the Upper West Side. The meat dishes are tender and the side dishes are filling. The cozy interior creates a welcoming atmosphere, and the recent reopening has brought back the familiar charm of this beloved spot at 78th. The new owner, the 5th generation, has maintained the same great food, now with a slightly fancier touch. Customers have praised the warm welcome at the door and friendly service, especially mentioning the waitress Anna, whose hospitality made guests feel at home. The pork chop remains a favorite, and the overall dining experience is enhanced by the welcoming environment and delicious meals. The restaurant allows complete menu sampling, and the staff demonstrates remarkable friendliness, eagerly responding to all inquiries. The menu is extensive, spanning Asian and Latin cuisine, and the food is served piping hot. The fried chicken is highly recommended. Prices are fair considering the quality of food, and the restaurant is a neighborhood staple worth visiting again. Visitors have praised the attentive service and the delicious dishes, with many noting that all their relatives approve of the cooking. The concept of Chinese-Cuban cuisine is refreshingly different, and the dishes are flavorful and quickly served. The wonton soup is a highlight, with firm wontons, excellent pieces of pork, and a nice clear broth, all served in a Cuban restaurant setting. The oxtail, served with rice containing ham and shrimp, is meaty, fresh, and full of flavor. This spot is popular with people from all cultures, and everyone understands Spanish, adding to its warm, inclusive atmosphere. Overall, La Caridad 72 remains a beloved spot that offers a unique blend of flavors and a friendly environment, making it well worth a visit.

Great food and great service. The food reminds me of home and is reasonably priced. We keep coming back for the ox tail stew, ribs, beef steak, porkchops, dumplings and the boneless chicharonnes de pollo. Most meals are served with white or yellow rice and beans or vegetables. If you want to try something different, they have the beef liver and squid ink fried rice which remind me of squid ink Paella. The combination meals are a great option to try out different dishes....read full review

The wife and i had the pleasure of visiting this establishment for our date night. I will say the service was great, the food came in great portions as well as very tasty. Hard to recommend one thing. Everyone was saying what they had was the best. It is highly recommended if close by. Oh yeah. Great bartender
