It was all delicious, and very tasty, chicken was amazing, as was the chicharron. Loved it and the piece was huge. We ordered dinner portions by accident, but still ate quite a bit.Would not hesitate getting food from here again.“

“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.“

“I got the Spinach Lasagna and it was one of the best I’ve ever had. Lasagna Loca was at the Artist and Makers Market in Jersey City, NJ. I bought the frozen one and make it in the oven a couple days later. It was super flavorful. I can’t wait to buy more so I have them on those nights I don’t want to cook dinner!“

“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.“

It is a bit small, but they pack a good lunch at a reasonable cost. I had the grilled chicken and yellow rice with vegetables that was filling and had flavors I never had before.“

“Omg this is my absolute favorite restaurant in NJ ! The space is very small but it definitely give the vibes of a small mom&pop restaurant in the New York. The food is delicious I would definitely recommend you try the garlic chicken and shrimp ?“

“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.“

“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!“

“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 :-)“

First time I ordered from the website and I ran into an issue with the delivery guy. I hope I can order again with no problem.“

“The chicken with spicy guava was tasty a little to sweet ? I was looking for garlic on my testones. The kids enjoyed the chicken fingers though. And the cocktaiks were delish. I'll visit againOh, i had the shrimp in red sauce yummy, the beans n rice were good. The service was okay a little scattered and a little long on some things but okay“

“I came to NYC around a month ago and I was looking for a place like this one, where you can buy affordable, delicious and reasonably healthy food (having eaten too many burgers and sandwiches this month). The portion sizes are quite big, I barely managed to eat all of the meat and half of the rice. The price is similar to what you'd pay to buy a meal at McDonalds, so going to this place instead is a no-brainer. The corn bread was amazing!That being said, I am giving the atmosphere just 1 star because I had the worst time waiting inside. It was also so loud that I could barely hear the person who served me both times I was there. The staff was patient and friendly enough though. The other customers, not so much. In my country, when a place is crowded, you usually wait near the door until the line starts moving, which is what I did. Someone must have thought that I was trying to cut the line and literally whistled at me and pointed to a spot behind him like I was a dog. 5 years ago, I would've left never to return again, but I understand that this is not the fault of the staff, so I stayed and bought a delicious meal. It is advisable to avoid the lunch rush and other customers some of who lack basic manners.“

“Service was quick and food was good. Recommend this spot. Get there early they look like they get busy“

“I work in Midtown Manhattan and everyone in the company has tasted the cuisine of So Good Cuisine LLC... we licked our fingers with that seafood ham and chofan... wow how delicious, just remembering it is a pleasure to the palate... Since then we have ordered our dishes holidays with them.. I highly recommend it if you want to eat well and look good with your guests.. they are super cordial and attentive to the details of the order… We went to the restaurant and it is nice and hygienic too.. It is decorated with love..“

“Got a take out order through the TooGoodToGo app, granted it's always a surprise bag, so we didn't know what we'd get food wise.The mixed platter was good in terms of portion size and variety of food, but it wasn't very flavorful. Will try this place again and see if going earlier will have a different tune“

“I Uber eat my dinner and unfortunately they forgot to put my side empanadas. I contacted the restaurant and not long after someone who actually works for the restaurant came and hand-deliver my empanadas. If it wasn’t for my son who loves empanadas I would’ve left it alone but of course I had to contact the restaurant because that’s the only thing he would eat but I have nothing negative to say about this restaurant I have been going there for years now and they go beyond.“

“Food tastes as if my grandmother was in their kitchen whipping up amazing food. I have yet to experience anything that wasn’t absolutely delicious. Ribs, pernil, Chicharrón, seafood, beans, soups, desserts, the list can go on. Make your way here, you won’t be disappointed!“

“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“

“Omg I have eaten lots of ribs in my years, but p&c spanish restaurant knock it out of the park and then some, the ribs so tender and it tasted like you are actually eating a pernil from old school cook, please don't ever change it I love it the best I ever ate,Kid-friendliness: They are friendly with everyone.“

“food service environment clean good prices“

“This place is amazing! Super friendly service, delicious smoothies and some of the best prices for fresh smoothies and juices in the area. Very generous sizes too!Dietary restrictions: They have almond milk, coconut milk and coconut water for smoothies. Vegan friendly!“

“The food is ok. The only plate that has really stood out to me when it comes to taste is their “pollo al cadero”. I’ve been here on numerous occasions. Trying a different plate each time. The price for the order I would say is a bit on the high end when compared to prices and quantity of other near by establishments. Their pork meat is usually on the undercooked side, the boneless chicken breast is very bland. With that being said owner and employees are awesome great attention to service, and always seem eager to please. If you do visit try the “pollo al caldero” you will not be disappointed.“
