Karina's has been a fixture in Jersey City for decades. The food is delicious! Baked chicken, roasted pulls pork or some refried plantains it's all delicious.
I wish I could give this place no stars!!! ? The food is good and fresh, it's the service I have a problem with. I don't know what Latina women have against black women (I'm only saying black bcuz I'm black & can't speak for other races) Myself & another black woman waited almost 15 mins with no one around until finally the other woman asked me "Do they not see us standing her?" I loudly asked if WE could be served. The woman behind the counter began preparing our food but like she was under duress. I would never recommend this place to any women of color nor will I be returning!!!
The food is delicious, the staff is very nice. I like it here nice clean.
I order over the phone but when I got there wasn’t even ready then I give them my card and the guy swiped it I’m not sure what happened then he says I swiped it several times and it doesn’t go threw he said credit or debit I said credit then asked to verify my id shows proof , then he try’s again says there no money u need money u have to have money on the card telling me I don’t have any money customer behind me said how u gonna tell this young man he doesn’t have any money and then my card went threw some how and I told him don’t ever say that again u don’t even know me u sound crazy ??♂️So basically something went wrong wit there server took long to process payment and he saying it’s my fault I need more money this that crazy ??♂️??♂️??♂️
Ordered 2 medium soups. I was sent 1 large. this was not good because it was for 2 different people! we are at work... We dont havebowls here
The service was terrible I got treated like garbage the food was tasteless no salt whatsoever and I also got a remarks throw it in my face about them having a sweet beans So people beware stay away for this restaurant the food is terrible
The food is to soft it was the rice and beans and pork meat was too much fat and skin in my food and no meat.
Staffs are rude. I asked how to order the food on the buffet table. An annoyed lady said "whatever you want". Yes, I know that.... is there a special? Rice with chicken is how much? I mean... i ordered Rice + beef stew thing = $11.50. No way for me to know which one's how much. A man behind me ordered the same beef and they charged him $2.50. So the rice is 9 bucks??? Or if you are an asian they rip you off?I gave two stars because A) the food was alright and B) this is in a JC ghetto area. What do you expect.. right? . I won't recommend this place to my friends.
These people have the nastiest food. A friend ordered food last evening 27th January for two and when it was delivered, it looked more like left over food. The food was very poorly arranged in clearly reused take away aluminum pans. Nothing looked right. It looked more like a dogs dinner. I was very disappointed having spent close to $45 on the order. Following from the number of negatively critical reviews here I cannot hesitate to recommend this restaurant delists itself from delivery apps till they have their act together.
Excellent place to feel youre back home in Dominican Republic. The food is excellent and the employees make you feel comfortable and welcome. Service is good! Best tres golpes ever and the carne guisada the best!
