El Caribe Restaurant

El Caribe never disappoints. We have been coming here for quite some time and have tried about half the menu. Every…single…item…is amazing. You could come here and order anything and you will be thankful you did. The owner and staff are amazing as well!

The food is authentic Dominican food. The owner was extremely kind and friendly. I was only visiting this area but I intend on returning to this restaurant whenever in the area. The dining area space inside is small. Overall, highly recommended this local gem.

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 carribean cuisine!

This small, friendly restaurant offers a wide range of Caribbean fare. Their smoothies are loaded with fresh fruit. The empanadas are fresh or fresher (made to order). Recommended!

We had the Oxtail and Salmon for the first time tonight. Food is great! Service is great! Yuridia was super nice and helpful! Highly recommend!

Wonderful little hidden gem here in Albany, Georgia. Delicious Caribbean food for sure!
Customer service is excellent, we had the opportunity to meet Manuel, he gave us a little bit of the history of his place. We will return for more tasty Caribbean cuisine!

The food is AMAZING! Always fresh and always delicious. There are so many great options. The staff is also nice and friendly. If you haven’t eaten here try it!

Such a great experience! Maria and the rest of the El Caribe crew are so welcoming and friendly.

Really good food. As a Caribbean person, it's rare to find real goatmeat cooked as I am used to. Really tasted like the 'mutton' I grew up with in Jamaica. We also got fried cassava, stewed pork, and pulled pork. The plantain (ripe fried) was great. Passion fruit drink is something I have not had in a while, and while a bit sweet(just my taste), it was refreshing and well made. Friendly staff. My one issue was the boisterous laughing and conversation at only one table so we could barely carry on our own conversation. I understand relaxing with friends, but it's a very small space, so conversing as if you are the only customer there was really distracting and annoying. We left with the food eventually.

So glad I found this place! Recently moved from Jacksonville FL and I had been missing some of my favorite and unique restaurants. I finally found that here. Everything that I have tried has been amazing. It all looks so good I've tried things I usually wouldn't. The staff are all super nice. The prices are reasonable. Everything you could want out of your new food find that you can share with others. I come almost every other week and highly recommend you give them a shot. You will not regret it

This was a great experience. The food was excellent. I had a vegetarian dish and my husband had stewed chicken. This was authentic Dominican food. My husband is from Jersey and he had Dominican friends and family and knows how it tastes. He could not stop talking about it. The portions are large. This is definitely a hidden gem in Albany, GA. If you love good food I would highly recommend this restaurant. The rice and beans were delicious.

If you love real Dominican food this is the spot. Made me feel like I was back in the DR. Place is a good vibe and the owner is one of the coolest people in town. Friendly to everyone, and generous portions on your plate. Will be coming back whenever I work this way

Our first time stopping in and we were mind blown! The fried chicken is sooooo delicious. The pork was incredible. If you get rice on the side, def get the gravy on top. If you're looking for somewhere with actual flavor, this is your spot. Plus, free samples! That way you're getting something you know you'll love. Great experience, parking is in the back btw! Inside seating is limited so if you have a big group consider to go 🙌

All the food is made in house and taste amazing! From empanadas to sandwiches to burgers to anything off the line, they have something you will eat and enjoy.

Delicious BBQ ribs, yellow rice and fried plantains! The staff was very accommodating, offering samples and making fresh plantains just for us. The food was delicious, the service was great and the prices were affordable. I would definitely go back.

Jeison was my server Today! He's always so friendly and patient! The food is fresh and flavorful! It's always so clean and cool in there. Shout out to the owners and Staff..I love it here!

I was greeted with smiles and salsa music! Love it. I did not dine in, it’s a small place but seems very clean. I did a pick up order over phone the person who answered the phone must of been new because she did not get my name or time for my order. I ordered a Cuban sandwich $10 to go,no mustard and no pickles. It was VERY delicious! It really hit the spot! The flavor of the meat was so right and I love the bread!! I’m wondering if they sell just the bread, I am thinking it is pan de agua which makes the sandwich so much better! It tasted much like a tripleta sandwich. If someone is wanting to try authentic Latin food I would tell them to come here. Would definitely return!

Love Supporting Small Businesses. Jeison and Charlyn really helped me out. And the Owner Mr.Manny is pretty cool and very welcoming with his customers..when I came in to order my Food, everything was fresh and On point to my liking. Prices are a bit pricey$$ but it’s worth it for the quality of the food..Recommended 9.5/10

Wow!!!! I drive a truck and had this delivered through door Dash. I love Cuban sandwiches being from Florida that’s a big deal. The pork in their Cuban rocks!!! And the Guava Empanada was delicious. I hadn’t had one in years. What a treat!!! The Mango Banana shake was refreshing. Everything was great!!!

My grandmother and I came about two months ago and we are hooked! We love the rice with pigeon peas with any entree and I always get a guava y queso empanada for dessert. The service is wonderful and the guy who runs the place always has a smile and seems truly passionate about what he and his team do! 10/10 on all fronts definitely worth a try
