Caridad Restaurant

This family-owned, homestyle Latin diner in the Bronx serves dishes inspired by Dominican, Puerto Rican, and Cuban traditions. Caridad has been open for more than 20 years and is known for their delicious rotisserie chicken and generous family specials. Owner Henry Martes is a first-generation immigrant from the Dominican Republic who was raised in the Bronx. And while he also holds a master's degree in urban design from Columbia University, he inherited Caridad from his mother and has maintained its operation to keep her dream alive.
