El Caribe Restaurant — Restaurant in Albany

My culinary journeys to El Caribe have been marked by many, yet equally memorable experiences with their goat and pork dishes. Each visit has solidified my love for this gem of a restaurant.On some visits, I ordered the goat dish. It was a revelation in every bite - tender, richly flavored, and seasoned with a masterful blend of spices that transported me to a world of exquisite tastes. The goat was so perfectly cooked, it seemed to melt in my mouth, leaving a lasting impression of culinary excellence.My other frequent order is the pork dish. This experience was a whole different realm of delight. The pork was succulent and flavorful, with a delicate balance of herbs and spices that complemented the meat's natural juiciness. Each forkful was a testament to the chef's skill in highlighting the pork's robust character.

El Caribe is not just a restaurant; it's a canvas where culinary masterpieces are created. The care, passion, and expertise that go into each dish are palpable. Whether it's the goat or the pork, each visit has been a journey through rich flavors and impeccable cooking.In conclusion, El Caribe deserves every bit of its 5-star rating. Whether you choose the goat or the pork, you're in for a treat that's not just a meal, but an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended for anyone who cherishes authetic...

Love this place.. Super nice staff and they make you feel like family..

Food is just delicious.. I purchased the rice and beans and Pollo guisado and the sancocho..

Have not had a good authentic Dominican sancocho in a restaurant here in this states until today..

Rice and beans reminded me of my mom's cooking and was delicious as well..

Portions are relatively big and you will be coming back for more..

Have not tried breakfast yet, but I'll be back for sure for some mangú with salami and fried cheese..

Recommend this new restaurant to everyone in town.. Give it a try!!

Update this afternoon: Went back for dinner. Had the chimi and few empanadas.

The chimi was so good and filling.. I would take it over a regular hamburger at this point.

Both chicken empanada and beef empanada were on point.

New favorite...

They used to be good but idk what happened. I’ve had expired food from them 2x and hadn’t had it in a while and was hoping they maybe got it together (my mistake). Decided to get tres leche cake from the food truck and when. She gave me a cake in a paper bag and when I get to my car it’s not even a regular tres leche it was a dry pink strawberry cake. I wanted to return but the lady acted like I made some kind of mistake when they literally advertise the cake as tres leche. Nowhere does it says strawberry tres leche on the menu and she tells me there’s no regular cake (THAT I ASKED AND PAID FOR). I ended up eating it but it was the nastiest cake ever. This feels like scamming behavior why would you not just say you don’t have what I’m asking for instead of making me pay for something...
