Caribbean Delights

08/​22/​2014: I read here this restaurant was closed, so I checked it out when I went to Matthews today. It is OPEN for business and tho hard to see from the street, because it is in the ‘elbow’ of the small strip mall, I went and saw it OPEN.

Great food, extremely friendly service, very reasonably priced. A perfect hole in the wall place. Menu changes daily.

I stopped in the other day on a whim and left very satisfied. The food was great, as was the soup, and the owners were super friendly (I had a nice conversation with one of them while I enjoyed my garlic chicken washed down with a Modelo. They’re going to be seeing a lot of me!

Oh my god delicious! Service was fantastic everyone was so nice. My dining partner wasn’t familiar with Dominican food and they gave him a sampler plate to help him decide. It was all so flavorful it made it hard to decide. My favorite was the pork my companion chose the garlic chicken and of course I had to have a side of maduros (sautéed sweet plantains, love!!)…
P. S. for the two star reviewer. if you want a/​c get it to go and eat it in your car don’t bash a place because it’s not a standard cookie cutter franchise with all the modern day amenities.

Great people and great food. Pulled pork, yellow rice, fried bananas,
shrimp, piña colada all delicious and wonderful. Big portions, pulled
pork has delicious rub on it, shrimp big and juicy. Everything was generously sized and served up by great owners. And don’t forget
the expresso and expresso milk drink with fresh steamed milk.
You’ll eat well!

Good people! Good food! Caribbean Delights is a newly opened restaurant that has plates from all parts of the Caribbean, as the name suggests. It’s a small place with an open kitchen, and they treat you like family! We walked in and were immediately greeted by the owners and their children who run the restaurant. It was our first time there, so they brought out a plate of the day’s entrees for us to try! It was all delicious, but the Pernil (roast pork) was mouth-​watering! I ordered that, of course. It came with a large plate of rice and a side of some of the most delicious pinto beans I have ever tasted! My husband ordered the Sancocho — a soup from the Puerto Rico containing platano (plantains), yuca, and various other vegetables, meats and spices. I tried it and it is good! Still like the Pernil better though! They also have Chicken tenders and fries for picky eaters like my son, plus tacos. I didn’t give this restaurant five stars only because they only have drinks from a can or bottle (no refills), and because they don’t make all of their dishes every day. They have a few daily entrees, and then they have specials each day of the week. Don’t worry, Pernil is served everyday!
