Sabor Caribeño Restaurant

I mean the food is alright but what you get for what you pay is crazy. I ordered a large Pernil and Rice with beans. I got a small cup of mostly juice with a few mushed up beans at the bottom and a tray FULL of white rice with a little bit of pernil on top. It’s $15 I should get a decent amount. This is probably the last time we will order from here. Came to edit after eating as others have said nothing has flavor and for some reason the red beans were sweet.

On Monday 6/24/24, I went to this establishment to get some Sancocho (soup) for my sick child. I politely asked the young eccentric lady to not include any meats or vegetables. I only wanted the broth as my kid doesn’t like the extra stuff it brings. My first red flag should’ve been when she said the kitchen has to “make it but it will be out right away”. As a Dominican myself, I am very aware that Sancocho takes hours to make. Hence, why I didn’t make it myself at home. She asked me to have a seat and wait. I did. I waited about 10 minutes more or less. She brings the soup out and I see that it’s mostly chunks of corn and root vegetables. Which took up 90% of the container. I reminded her that I didn’t want any meats or vegetables. She clarified by asking “so no kinds of meats or anything?” I politely answered “yes that’s right, just the broth please.” I thought maybe she didn’t understand at first. Ok cool. I wait ANOTHER 10 minutes. At this point, I ask if the order was ready. She said it’ll be a few more minutes but she would check with the kitchen to see what’s taking so long. A few more minutes come by and she comes out and heads straight to my bag (that had other items I ordered) and puts the container inside. I walked up to the front where she was. I put my hand on the container, and peeked from the top lid to see if I saw any “chunks”. When I felt how cold the container was, I said “really? COLD? You’re killing me. I’ve been waiting for almost 30 minutes for a COLD soup?? What have ya been doing back there??” She was not apologetic or offered to rectify the situation. I was annoyed and disappointed so I left to go home to my sick kid. When I got home… I opened the container and the oozing sound it made churned my stomach. As you can see in the video, this soup is OLD. how can you serve COLD and OLD soup?? It made me wonder what other old/ reheated food are they serving??? I’m so disappointed. Never again.

I really want to give this place 5 stars. But it really depends on the day that you go. I go randomly and I go often bc I absolutely LOVE their food. It's amazing. But I notice that it depends on who's working. Most of the time I have the same girl who I absolutely LOVE and she gives good portions that are cooked and taste amazing. Other times I've gone, like today, and I couldn't believe the price and portions. I got a comtainer packed with rice and very little pepper steak with 3 massive pieces of almost raw onion and two pieces of pepper that were pretty hard. I get places get busy and things happen it just sucks that this has been happening more often. When they first opened the portions were amazing. You got alot of food for your money but now especially today I couldn't believe the amount I was given. But like I said, they're busy often and the food is normally amazing. I've never seen a cockroach in here so idk what the other guy was talking about and it's always clean when I go here. Everything is amazing and it would be absolutely perfect if it was consistent with quantity and the veggies.

I Ordered My food online 45 mins before i went in to get it , it should have been ready by time i got there . When i arrived i had to wait an Additional 20 mins , just for them to put cold Morcilla into the bag and hand me it .. when i asked the young man if this was everything that i ordered he said yes (which was a lie) and brushed me off quickly.. i then opened the bag and seen that the chicharrones were missing .. So when i go back into the establishment he proceeded to tell me that they were all out and refunded me back my 15 dollars .. Which was another lie because i still have yet to receive my money ! Will never order here again .. Do Better !

I love Spanish food, this spot is the best! The pernill is so good and cooked perfectly! I drove from Hawley PA to come here i will definitely be back!
