The Best Restaurants In West Harlem & Hamilton Heights - New York - The Infatuation

"There are a lot of Dominican restaurants in and around Hamilton Heights, but this one’s good whenever a bunch of hungry friends decide to come over to your apartment at the last minute. Get a whole rotisserie chicken, a pile of crispy pork chicharron (which can also be mashed into a garlicky mofongo if they’re starving), plus a few sides like fried sweet plantains and rice and beans. The takeout meal will leave everyone full and happy—and asking to come over again for seconds." - the curious uptowner, sonal shah

Hello Saigon Serves Spicy Vietnamese Beef Soup — and Other Cheap Eats - Eater NY

"Mofongo Del Valle is one of the better Dominican restaurants in Hamilton Heights, with a long and comfy marble lunch counter, and line of bicycle personnel waiting to zoom off with delivery orders. The place has a way with meal size soups — including ones made with cow foot, beef, and mixed seafood — but the best features a tough old hen stewed into total tenderness. The specialty is mofongo in a dozen variations, including a chicharron de mofongo that matches thick slices of pork with the crunchiest skin imaginable with the classic Dominican-style, deep-fried mofongo." - Robert Sietsema

I feel better knowing about this spot! I found the food remarkable. This place provides an unpretentious, comfortable environment. The people working here are as nice to see as they are to talk to. This restaurant is impressive and I'll return regularly.

Got a nice variety of food, although the spaghetti seemed a little random. The pork is salty but crispy and good.

I placed two orders for a total of $50. What a waste of my money. The pork chops were too salty. And the fried beef was IMPOSSIBLE to chew. That beef was too dry. I tried to pour water and microwave it, hoping it would soften a bit, but no change. I called the restaurant to express my disappointment hoping she would offer a replacement but she responded that beef is always dry. If it’s always dry and impossible to chew, why sell it to customers? Never returning there again!

I’ve given this place several chances, but I can’t overlook the evident racism they show towards Black people. It’s frustrating to think that those who harbor such strong hatred towards Black Americans would choose to open a restaurant in Harlem, a community primarily populated by Black residents. Their dismissive attitude is hard to ignore, especially if you’re not speaking Spanish; it has become quite bothersome. On March 26, I went to this location to pick up an order I had placed through the Too Good To Go app. Unfortunately, I was met with the same poor service as always. There was hardly anyone inside, just a few servers behind the counter who seemed more focused on pretending to be busy until a Dominican customer walked in. It was painfully obvious. When I showed the woman behind the counter my order on my phone, she told me to swipe, and right after I marked it as “picked up,” she immediately turned her attention to a Dominican man who had just arrived. There was no acknowledgment of my presence, no apology or courtesy like “one second, please.” She simply turned her back on me, dismissing me completely. I started to panic because I’d experienced this behavior before where they took my money and I had to place a new order, but that wasn’t going to happen this time. I observed them, and it’s clear they prioritize serving Dominican or white people, while Black men just get ignored. A few random workers eventually joined in, and one even told me to “relax” and accused me of being entitled, claiming to have noticed me since I walked in ten minutes ago. Really? They stood around doing nothing while I waited for a prepaid order ten minutes ago when there was no one else in line. Is it entitled to expect the food I’ve already paid for? The level of ignorance and racism displayed here from people who have somehow managed to run a business is staggering. It’s puzzling how they’re allowed to continue operating in NYC, but if there’s any justice, their days are numbered.

Good food, great grill chicken and nice chicharrón. Inside, the space is small and unpleasant, which makes this place great for take outs. They also got flan and tres leche cake, and both desserts are good.

I ordered delivery and it was FIRE. Avocado was fresh, mofongo wasn’t dry, the pernil was moist with crispy skin, and the flavor of everything (maduros and fried cheese included) was great. Didn’t have room for my tres leches dessert yet, but it looks like it’s gona hit.

We ordered delivery who ever took the order on the phone , has very poor customer service, she took the order wrong and she was very nasty , slam the phone while ya asking how long they were going to take. When we finally got the order omg the ribs were burnt and dry , we had ordered costillas guisadas we were going to eat it but no way to dry, we called to let them know that what we got it was not what we order, the same female was even nastier argued on the phone that was the right order didn't even offered to send a replacement hung up and send the money with the delivery man. Bien malcriado esta chica asi como, la comida no era gratis pagamos por UN servicio.

I came here with my lady to get take out. We had to wait about 7 mins to order. Then a man who works there told me to order with a specific person. We did. I noticed after about 10 mins that they have a "take your ticket" system to put your order in so I asked the person I ordered from should I get a ticket as well and she said no. 15 more mins go by and one of the servers asked their co-worker what we were waiting for and the woman who took our order let her know that we were taken care of. The woman who took our order kept going to the back but never came out with our food. I walked up to the counter to get an update, a guy raised his hand up to with a "5 min" signal or so I thought, he was actually telling me to calm down--Before I could ask about our food but I hadn't said anything . So the woman who took our order then went to the back and came out with a plate of food and sat down to take her lunch break. I walked up to the counter and finally got someone to speak to me, he said "yeah you guys have been waiting a while". The woman who took our order was staring at my lady and I just eating her food. Which is fine, take a break. But where's our food it's been an hour? The guy who spoke to me went and got our food, they were in containers, there was condensation on the inner part of the lid which tells me the food had been sitting out for a while. He rang me up and as I'm paying the original woman who asked why we were there bagged three other peoples bags first who came 30 mins after us. So i gestured yo her if she could put my food in the bag, and she gave me an attitude, didn't give us any utensils. As for the food, it was nasty. We both ordered seafood Mangu, with a side of Sweet plantains (yes I know that's a lot of plantains lol). The food was cold, mangu wasn't mashed all the way through, extremely bland, and the sweet plantains were extremely oily and over cooked. What made me wait, it was a long day we specifically sought that place out because we were planning a park date nearby. And the place was busy so we were doing our best to be patient. NO ONE else waited more than 5 minutes for their order. No we will not be going back. Normally I would dispute paying or taking something off a bill but it was a long day and we just wanted to share a nice evening with some good Spanish food.

I came in, stood at the counter, took a number and ordered takeout. The food is good. The girl at the counter piled my plastic container with food. This was my first time patronizing this place. She was nice. This was Saturday afternoon 2/24/24. Food was hot. So hot that by the time I got home in the frigid temperature outside it was still warm. I was prepared to reheat using the microwave. No need. I'll definitely be back.

I was so impressed with the expansion! Wow! I always used to order for takeout but the new dining area is beautiful, cozy and very comfortable. The food, as always, was delicious. It is my go to spot when I'm craving Dominican cuisine. The music is great and the service top-notch. I recommend!

I lived in this neighborhood for two years now and every time I try to order from this place, I walk in and the lack of people that speak English is a problem while standing in line nobody knows who's next so you stand there wait for hours waiting for someone to take your order even though you have a number

Every time I go to El Valle its a hit! The food is always packed with flavor and fresh. Best chicken in the area! The pizza next door as well is super good and crispy nothing like a nice thin crispy slice and I'm always treated nicely upon entering, very hospitable and attentive of their clients needs.

The people who work at this restaurant are extremely rude and nasty. I ordered something for delivery and misunderstood what it said on the app. I called the restaurant to ask about it and the woman who answered the phone immediately spoke to me a rude tone and said I need to read what the app says. I didn't argue because I recognized that it was a mistake so I politely asked for them to send me what I wanted and I would return what they sent me. After lecturing me about how Seamless works, she said she would send me the correct order. Some time had passed and I wanted to know the status of the order so I called back and someone picked up the phone. I explained the situation and they put someone else on the phone. This person immediately raised her voice at me as if I'm asking for free food and so I told her that she doesn't need to raise her voice at me. Then she started to again lecture me about the Seamless app and basically acted like she was doing me a favor and telling me it was my fault when all I wanted was my order. After she again started to argue with me and raise her voice, I told her to cancel the order and hung up. While I understand the initial mistake was mine, the way they responded was extremely rude and disrespectful and I've never been spoken to like that over the phone by anyone working in the food industry. I am never ordering at this establishment again. If you're going to treat your customers like shit, then your food should at least taste better. ~ Las personas que trabajan en este restaurante son extremadamente groseras y desagradables. Pedí algo para la entrega y malinterpreté lo que dijo en la aplicación. Llamé al restaurante para preguntar por ello y la mujer que contestó el teléfono inmediatamente me habló un tono grosero y me dijo que necesito leer lo que dice la aplicación. No discutí porque reconocí que era un error, así que les pedí amablemente que me enviaran lo que quería y que devolvería lo que me enviaron. Después de enseñarme cómo funciona Seamless, me dijo que me mandaría la orden correcta. Había pasado algún tiempo y quería saber el estado de la orden así que llamé de nuevo y alguien cogió el teléfono. Explicé la situación y me pusieron a otra persona por teléfono. Esta persona inmediatamente levantó su voz ante mí como si estuviera pidiendo comida gratis y así le dije que no necesita levantarme la voz. Luego empezó a volver a hablarme de la aplicación Seamless y básicamente actuó como si me estuviera haciendo un favor y diciéndome que fue mi culpa cuando todo lo que quería era mi orden. Después de que ella volvió a discutir conmigo y levantó la voz, le dije que cancelara la orden y le colgué. Aunque entiendo que el error inicial fue mío, la forma en que respondieron fue extremadamente grosera e irrespetuosa y nunca me ha dicho así por teléfono nadie que trabaje en la industria alimentaria. Nunca volveré a pedir en este establecimiento. Si vas a tratar a tus clientes como una mierda, al menos tu comida debería gustar mejor.

The food here is delish. Rotisserie chicken is soo good but I wished there were more rice options. Would love yellow rice as an option. The sweet plantains were a little soggy but still good. White rice and beans were ok. My praises are really because of the chicken. They offer multiple soda options on Grubhub but I don't think they actually have those options in the store because they delivered a soda flavor we didn't order. Overall, quick delivery and delivery guy had good customer service. There are a lot of family plan options which is perfect when you want your kids to eat something other than chicken lol

So I order from this restaurant before but this time around they decided to be slick and send me bones instead of chicken. My meal was supposed to be Yello rice with chicken stew. They send me rice with chicken but these pieces of chicken where the bones part beaky any meat. Called them and they told me that all they had left. Won't even offer a refund. Never again.

The driver was amazing. The staff at the restaurant on the other hand was not. They didn't send my whole order. Then lied saying they did to only turn around and issue a refund for only half of the missing food. All this after I expressed this was a corporate card and I couldn't have refunds without having issues at works They could careless. I had to reach out to GH for help to get back All of my refund and write an email to corporate apologizing and explaining the problem. All this left half of the people attending this corporate meeting without food or drinks. The manager never came to the phone to speak to me directly and I could hear how rude she was in the background. Extremely disappointed on the service I received today.

Ordered Fish and chips through Grubhub. What I got was more steak fries and an herb-seasoned fried fish. Not what I was expecting, but I have no complaints.

Great food, nice people. Large portions. A little pricy for the neighborhood but you'll have leftovers. Wish it was located in the upper east side (86th street). We have NO SPANISH RESTAURANTS IN THE WHOLE AREA. :(

excellent little hole in the wall Dominican joint. My oft stated policy is that if a place has a dish in its name, that's what I ought to try... I mean if a place called Mofongo del Valle can't do mofongo, what can they do? I stopped in for lunch on a day that i needed comfort food badly. I ordered the chivo mofongo - stewed goat with mofongo on the side, (or was it mofongo with goat on the side?)also came with some shredded cabbage and lettuce and some corn, with wedges of lime, that passed for a salad. The mofongo was starchy plantainy goodness and the good was really superb - saboroso - warm, well cooked, nicely spiced (not spicy) and delicious. yum.

My office orders their rotisserie chicken a lot, and it's delicious. I started picking up the boneless fried chicken meal, and it's been rocking our world. I just wish the maduros were better, but they tend not to be ripe enough, so they aren't very sweet or tender.

This place is a hit or miss. The roasted chicken is some times burned and the favors are off. But if you don't want to cook it comes in handy.

I ordered my food at 5:59 PM and was doing stuff around the house so I didn't exactly realize what time it was but I knew I was getting hungrier and hungrier so I looked at the time and it's now 815 and I called them and they have no clue what I'm talking about. This place is getting worse and worse in the years I've lived here. Do yourself a favor and order from Caridad 145

I was incredibly excited about this place when I moved to the neighborhood and damn was it disappointing. The food was surprisingly bland and boring. I ordered a bunch of different things off the menu to sample a lot and I found almost nothing redeeming beyond a decent fried fish, but you could get that at thousands of places throughout the city.

We ordered the family order of chicharon de pollo, white rice, beans, maduros, salad, and 2 liter of soda for $20. You can't go wrong. Our waitress was super nice. We didn't wait long for our food and it was really good. I gave it 4 stars because it was missing just a tad bit more flavor. Overall, I was very satisfied.

A lot of people in the neighborhood come here. I don't know what the appeal is. The combo meals are kinda cheap, but some other places down the street are cheaper. They must have good chicken cuz I always see it roasting in the window, but our dumb asses got the pernil instead. Foolish. It was dry and tasted like cardboard. If you're starving and on the brink of death. Yeah sure, come eat here. If not, you can skip the Valley and get yourself a TV dinner from Fairway instead.

Do not order through Eat24, it costs more online. They raised the prices on most of their foods if you order through Eat24. Family combo 1: $20 (in store) $23(online) Family combo 4: $22 $25 Pollo al Horno: $10 $12 Here is the website to compare with Eat24 menu prices! http://mofongodelvallenyc.com/18063

Actually the slowest place at getting food out i have ever experienced. Sort of mind boggling how inefficient it is...

Jay L.

Yelp
Started ordering from here since a friend recommended there food. First there food isn't all to special it's ok for Spanish food but they could do better with all the attitude they give to their costumers. First let's start with the steak and peppers, ALWAYS CHEWY AF! I always end up Throwing most of it out. Pernil?? Dry and the skin that they give you is always soooo fatty and soggy. Beans is alittle bland, it got taste but not much. Plantains are always cold and dry. Now in person service in the restaurant is horrible. I went in once to order my family a meal and I sat there for 45 mins because they were chit chatting behind the counter and taking people ahead of me because they were regulars and when I finally spoke up she gave me the rudest attitude while making my meal. Mean while, I'm watching her closely she is putting bare minimal food in the trays so I politely asked to put more since the tray was half full and the reaction she gave me honestly made me want to drag her over the counter. She complained about how much I was ordering and I finally just told her forget the meal and started walking out the store with my child. So to avoid drama I started ordering online. It always takes about an hour for my food when I only live up the block, food is always small portions and can barely food 3 people yet I always order a family meal and if you don't tip their delivery guy something big, he catches the worst attitude. Tonight he honestly yelled "cheap" in my building hallway after me tipping him 5 dollars for WALKING UP THE BLOCK. I 've never seen such bad service and rudeness! I will not be ordering from them anymore!!

Delivery is the only option with these people. Delivery is the only thing worth mentioning. The food is classic " comida criolla" In person they will be ridiculous - super ghetto dominican fashion, dancing, talking to friends, each other, watching tv, yelling, totally unprofessional.. " actuando estudipo" But they know how to cook! With so many places in the area, few have little patience for their tacky shenanigans. Theyre close, quality and cheap.. No one speaks english.-I speak spanish..I'll order for my friends but this is a diverse area... They've never made my anglo or american friends feel comfortable nor welcome,by ignoring them and speaking spanish only to people they know. You must be bossy & assertive to get their attention. Look around, see how every one else gets served.Being that im paying, Im not always in the mood for the game. Politeness will have you standing there ignored or you'll walk out like many including myself have done due to neglect. Good cheap food, is plenty and frequent around here. So go elsewhere or just get delivery. They actually deliver pretty fast. And the place itself has a crappy hole in the wall appearance anyway

El Valle by any other name... It's always amazed me that for such a strong Dominican presence in West Harlem this is perhaps the only Dominican restaurant for the entire stretch of Broadway between 125th and 140th street. This restaurant started off as "El Valle" (which has locations in the Bronx as well) and had an off-shoot location on the corner of 137th (just two blocks!) and Broadway. It soon collapsed into just one location. When they remodeled the place it broke it into two areas: a take out area, which added pizza to the mix, and the actual dine-in area which got a nice wood finishing facelift. Every week they always have a couple local acts that play merengue and bachata. Quite the jovial spot! It offers typical Dominican food on the cheap. $6 plates include rice and beans, choice of meat, a side salad, and a can of soda. Prices are insane, Eddy! I usually end up eating here on Sundays for my heavy breakfast fix, typical of Dominican culture. $6 gives you mang smothered in sauted onions, eggs, fried cheese, with longaniza(skinny sausage) or salchichn(cooked salami) and Spanish coffee all while enjoying a heavy dose of Bachata music. The place has undergone many renovations with a beefed up bar area including two name changes. The take-out section retained the "El Valle" flag, but the dining area was changed to JJ Sports Bar. It started to score big in terms of locals coming to drink on Friday & Saturday nights. They have great deals on drinks including $1 beers on Thursday nights (Coors i believe). But at times the crowds can get a bit too street for me. All depends what attitude you come in with. They've changed the sign yet again, this time to something Mofongo de Valle. Haven't tried their mofongo yet, though. Also, their take-out section closed down for renovations. It's a perfect place to watch baseball though. That I cannot dispute. You know how crazy we dominicans are about beisbol! Recommendations: Peppered Steak Paella BBQ Ribs Rabo Guisado (oxtail) Black beans on white rice Spaghetti (Dominican style)

This is my neighborhood go-to spot when I don't feel like cooking. I get their rotisserie chicken (which they chop up for you) and sides (usually their mixed vegetables which have so much flavor and amazingly no grease at all. I'm not really sure what they do to them to make them so tasty! lol). Their yellow rice is delicious (there are chopped up veggies in there too!) as are the yucca and boiled green banana with pickled onion sides. I've never actually seen a menu here. All the food is out and ready to serve, so I just pick from what I see! I've tried a few of their meat dishes (in various sauces and stews), but found them very salty, so I stick with the chicken! ;-) That's the only reason I'm giving this place 4 stars instead of 5. Everyone that works here is very friendly and nice. I ate at a table for the first time this past weekend (instead of taking the food to go). We were served huge plates of food (a whole chicken, an enormous plate of yellow rice, plain salad, a big plate of broccoli & carrots, and a large plantain in honey sauce. All of that food was only $16.50?! To quote my dining partner, it felt like we "stole" the food! ;-p I'm so happy to have this place right around the corner! :-)

One word- yum! Although I have never went to the restaurant itself, I have ordered from here multiple times. I've always ordered the chicken with white rice and beans so i am not sure how the other food is, but from what I've eaten, it is delicious. Tender chicken, not overcooked, with great rice and beans (not sure how you could go wrong with making rice, but I don't doubt it's possible). My only dislike is the slow delivery. It is definitely worth a try.

Worst restaurant ever.. Delivery takes ova an hour to top it off they have there times when they slack and dont send u the delivery and then nobody knows anything.

Worst service in this history of mankind. I literally waited for 45 minutes for what was sure to be some crusty ass mofongo. I know because the cleanliness of the place was subpar. I've seen hot dog stands and truck stop Subway sandwich shops that look cleaner. After waiting for 25 mins, the women chatted amongst themselves, none of them telling me the food was not coming out, as they danced. Literally dancing while you have a paying customer who's obviously frustrated. How unprofessional is that? Literally the most unprofessional act I've seen In 30+ years of dining. Every person behind the counter on this specific day should be ashamed of themselves. How can you not grasp the basic concept of service? You literally have one job. Good service. Serve food to paying customers. You couldn't stop dancing and carrying on for one second to do the one basic thing that keeps your doors open. From the outside, I had my doubts about this dump. Like are you really the monfongo house or just a cheap name trying to benefit from a beloved dish. I'm going to go with a cheap name. Why? Cheap service, cheap value. Just cheap. You might as well drop your prices because no consumer should pay for mediocre service. I would give this -5 if I could. Stay far away from thand go somewhere else. Here's an update. Read the rest of the reviews. The owners and workers of this place could literally give a flying fuck about their food, service or sense of pride. Just rude, entitled people. There are much BETTER Dominican restaurants in the area with better food and staff. I repeat, if you're reading this: NEVER GO HERE

The food is amazing. It's truely genuine spanish food. I will definately eat there again. Yet, be alert about the cost and scheme of the waitresses. Not sure about the intergraty of the place. We ordered a delicious steak combo, which should have been $20.00, however the waitress indicated that she gave us that combo order plus half and charged $30.00 instead. Only problem was, we only got a single combo order.

voy a contar mi experiencia con este lugar, hoy decidi llamar para ordenar 2 mofongos, cuando pasaron mas de 45 minutos yo llame siendo muy amable para preguntar si ya mi orden estaba lista, la persona nisiquiera me dejo hablar cuando pregunte si los dos mofongos estaban listos nisiquiera respondio mi pregunta, solo se enfoco en decir que yo habia pedido uno solo, yo le dije que realmente habia pedio dos mofongos y ella seguia discutiendo y no me dejaba hablar, yo nisiquiera me altere solo le pedi que me mandara el otro mofongo y le dije que quizas ella no escucho bien cuando les pedi dos. Yo realmente estaba disgustada con el trato, asi que mi novio al presenciar todo eso se enojo y llamo para atras al lugar a dar su queja, y la otra persona que contesto el telefono fue muy mal educada, era una mujer mas mayor y nisiquiera escucho la queja y simplemente le dijo "usted amanecio por pelear" y le colgo el telefono, debo admitir la comida estuvo buena pero yo nunca habia recibido un mal trato en ningun otro lugar, e incluso yo trabajo en servicio al cliente y entiendo que aveces estamos estresados y que los clientes suelen ser ml educados pero este no fue mi caso, yo nunca le hable mal y opino que es de muy mal gusto tratar de esa manera a un cliente, les sugiero que deben de darle un entrenamiento a sus empleados porque su comida es muy buena pero el servicio es fatal.

Best deep fried pork I ever ate: I took one bite and was transported to fried pork heaven!! And the roasted marinated chicken with vinegar was delicious!!! $20 and it fed my family of 4 with a lot of leftovers!

Wait time for food is sometimes an issue but overall the food is slammin. The cost is ok its worth the wait. Experience it for yourselves I am happy I found this place.

I decided to give this place a try because it delivers and it was local so I called in and placed my order. The person on the phone didn't speak English very well so is put kind of difficult to order what I wanted however I think after 20 minutes on the phone I was able to accomplish that. Then I play the waiting game for about 45 minutes until I called back and they confirmed my order again over the phone and said that the delivery person should be there shortly. I decided OK no big deal I'll wait another 20 minutes and then their delivery driver finally showed up the food was dry, cold, and flavorless. I wasn't a big fan of the spot but I think I would give them a try another time maybe in person and see how the food comes out.

I ordered their Pork Chicharrones meal and it is very good! My friend had their chicken and I had a bite and it was very tasty with their special vinegar sauce that comes with it. The wait was a little intimidating since I don't speak the same language and it was busy, but it was worth the wait.

If I could give 0 stars I would! The delivery time takes forever, they never send what you ordered and the staff there is super rude. I placed a simple order of boneless chicken. Over an hour went by and we still didn't receive our order. I called the restaurant and the First Lady stated my order left and should arrive any minute. After waiting 45 more minutes I called the restaurant again to inquire about my order now this time I was told they had no record of my order. After arguing for almost 10 min they found my order they forgot to deliver. I canceled my order and will never ever order from this dump again.

First of all be prepared to have a hard time ordering if you don't speak Spanish... 2, never order over the phone because they will give you the dried up pieces that they won't dare serve to people that are dining in because it will definitely be sent back. Onto the food... it's okay. The best thing they have is there rotisserie chicken and mofongo. I like their pulled pork but I always order over the phone and get 65% caramelized inedible pieces of fat.

Ate here after contemplating for a while if it would be worth it based on reviews... Reviews are spot on, it's a solid 2 or 3 stars. I ordered the mofongo with chicken, and although it was made to order, it did not have much taste.

Horrible service they had me waiting 3 hours, I kept calling to see when would my food arrive and they kept telling me they are on their way but my food never arrived I would have appreciated if they would have told me they were not doing deliveries or did not feel like it horrible service

40 minute wait for Mofongo. The waitress said that it had to be made fresh, but there wasn't anything fresh in the taste. Over half left on our plates, we didn't even want to take it home with us. The delivery meals were getting the staffs effort while those of us in the restaurant were left unattended. They charge a credit card fee of $1.00 AND charge you the tax on the meal. If you pay in cash then you pay no tax.

I don't know Its typical Dominican food. its always what it is. I order from here all the time and i have never been disappointed. I have never ate there in the restaurant but they still cook my food good. The reason i give them 4 stars is because I ordered there once and accidentally used my billing address. So it went to my sister house and the delivery guy called me yelling at me. So he was annoyed that nobody answered so i was saying im coming now. So i called my sister who was refusing the food because she didnt know then she said oh okay she will take it. So i called the guy to let him know its my sisters house but its okay. And, he said oh this is the address i came to the right place its your mistake you deal with it so i said did i ask you to correct the address ? And he annoyingly hung up on me. So they get 4 stars from meeeee i think my voice is probably not a friendly voice. I dont like when people are defensive and immediately go into that mode where they block out their hearing. I took full responsibility and after all my sisters address is good too. In fact we both ate good that day lol THANKS EL VALLE. For the record tell your delivery guy whoever he is to the chill the f$&@ out. Did i tip ? Yes. His attitude was completely on him. Yes we are allowed to get frustrated but we are not allowed to mentally stay there and treat others like crap. I always get family combos from here and they never fail me ... the food is always good.

This place is always packed. The food varies from day to day so you get what they have. One day the food is great the next the food is awful. Try at your own risk. Its mostly latin food.

If I could just write the review and give no stars I would. This place is right across the street from my bf home. We tried to give this place our business on several occassions and today was literally the last straw. Saying that delivery time was an issue would be putting it mildly. The attitudes and just complete and utter disregard for people trying to give them business and money is just shocking. The food is mediocre and.not worth ever trying again. Order from Caridad on 145th better food, better service, just better to spend your money and hey .... you get to actually get your food when you order from Caridad.
