June 8, 2022, 11months ago I was there. Today I was there and the food was great and the service by Erica was great. What I found out very disturbing was that the 18% tip was included in the bill. The first bill given was the total for the food. I left cash tip of $23.00 for server who did an excellent job. I just called a few minutes when I got home and was told cant reverse tip but can give me the cash back. As a business owner it doesnt make sense. I will not be going back to restaurant. When they give you receipt they give you total but dont give you receipt back of what you spent unless you ask for it. I assumed when I requested receipt it would be ok but when I got in my car I noticed the 18% added. That means it is 36% tip. That is why I am given a 1 because of how sneaky they were. All customers much check price before leaving a tip and request original receipt.The food was good and the service as well. A little pricey for the food but cant complain when our server made sure we were enjoying our meal.

We had a nice lunch at Cafe Colonial. The food was good. The outside seating area was clean and inviting. The waitress, Odalis, was welcoming, and attentive.

My chicharon mofongo, was delicious. I truly enjoyed my lunch. Service was good. The only thing I was a bit bothered by, was the tip included in your bill. I feel that should be on the customer to give. We all have different experiences. Other than that it was great.

Update 2022They really improved things. The Caribbean chicken is still good but theyre using smaller pieces then they used to. The rice with pigeon peas is excellent. Service is a lot better. The beef stew is soft now but it doesnt have a lot of vinegar like carribean food usually does.update 9/2019My last 3 delivery experiences were terrible. I received plaintain raw still part pink inside, i eat green Banana (guinero) often this times it seems like it was slow cool boiled not water. I requested garlic for the tostones when I recieved my delivery I was told I had to pay $1 for that. Why not just charge it as a side. Plus I only needed 1 which would have been .50 cents. the meat was excellent. I think the issue is on Sundays Mexican workers may mot be familiar with caribbean cuisine. Its an issue in a lot of Dominican places in the Bronx, Sunday food is not as good. There is a smart mouth Dominican guy every time I speak with him I know there is going to be a problem. I called to check of my order was received he could have just told me to come down with an extra dollar. I locked myself out accidentally to get the food they never ring a bell no matter how much the tip or how many parking spaces. the tostones were replaced with more raw and oily soggy plantain.Nicer atmosphere than many for dinner to sit in. But like most food is a a little inconsistent. Today my half roasted chicken is usually dry. Today it was not. My experience is to avoid the beef guisado... dry. I often get the caribbean chicken. Its usually the safest consistency. Better than Stevens (sorry).UPDATE: 11/13/18 I appreciate the owner response. I look forward to going there more and trying more food. I had stopped going there for like a year. So maybe everything not just the chicken has improved. I look forward to changing this review in the near future...now that I have had 2 great dishes recently.

I ordered the Duo De Monfongos, which is mashed plantains and cassava with Churrasco steak and shrimp in creole sauce. The price was good and the food was amazing. They also have a super cute bench outside for photos.

0 stars, worst place ever. Order something that is clearly on the menu, they gave me the menu and it was there, waiter, which was VERY rude said they didn’t serve that, told her it was on the menu and showed her. She gave me attitude and walked away. Later on she came over and asked if we wanted the rest of our food to go, mind you we were in the middle of eating…. Why are we being rushed ? And what’s with the attitude DO NOT RECOMMEND

This was the worst service I ever had.I’m not coming back to this place. The waitress was so mad because I was asking some questions about the dishes. And she dropped our food at the table never come back to ask how we were doing and she just came back to ask us if we wanted the check. And she was unpleasant throughout out meal. Just horrible service through and through and didn’t deserve the 18% tip they were charging for!
