      The lunch special is all day. Nice spot. Not sure if it's Dominican or Puerto Rican but it was tasty authentic food. I received my food hot. The lunch special was enough food for me (a woman) I got the stewed chicken with the rice and beans and it was tasty.

      We were across the street at the mass mutual center for an event and came across this spot. It was quiet when we got there in the mid afternoon, but the woman at the bar was quick to greet us and extremely helpful. The food came out quick and hot, and did not disappoint. If you are looking for delicious, home style Caribbean food be sure to check this spot out. We will definitely be back when we are in town again.

      I stumbled across this place walking around downtown. I walked in and looked at a menu. After asking the young lady if the lunch special stewed chicken was good, she said it was her favorite. I ordered it and it came out in 2 minutes. The portion was very generous for $9.50 and it was delicious although the chicken itself was not piping hot. That was my only reason for not giving 5 stars. Service was friendly and fast and the price was very reasonable. I'd definitely return.

      Was in Springfield for my daughters dance competition at the Mass Mutual Center. After it was over we wanted to get something close by.

      After some deliberation we decide on Sol Karibe. It was such a good choice. First impression, I cannot remember seeing a place this clean maybe since I was in the Army. It was an odd time of day so it was really quiet. The waitress sat us and took our orders. My girlfriend and I had the Pernil with Spanish rice and beans. My daughter had chicken with fries. It was absolutely fabulous. Filling and the pork was so tender and flavorful. The rice was absolutely perfect. Like a home cooked meal.

      They were so nice and it was fairly economical. For the three of us and tip it came to around $50.

      If your in the area give them a shot.

      This is a very interesting one I must say. For Caribbean food this isn't bad & for myself I ordered a steak & onions with a side of rice and beans (photo is with the report). Portion is very nice because you get your share of rice and also beans plus you get the steak and onions this is very tasty and delicious (the seasonings are such it's just the right balance). They also got chicken, pork and seafood as well. An extra plus is the fact that the delivery was faster than I expected and the driver who delivered my food had my phone number so I got him to my place. Well now you know.

      Yes it was a little eaten but if I showed the original one with the whole thing on my plate you'd be like DAMN !

      When a customer tells you that there is hair in the food, you don't tell them that no one here has that type of hair and then say, it's only on the lid(inside that is). 4 orders of fried chicken were extremely over cooked. It was bad but we were hungry and wasted $10 each for the food. Btw, when my food was brought to me, the plastic bag had hair tied up in the knot too. Not our hair either

      I had plans to try the Korean barbecue place that was next door Unfortunately they were closed so I thought I would give this establishment to try it's mid-afternoon on a Saturday so it wasn't busy there was a young lady in there that could not have been more unbothered by the fact that I had walked in she stood there for a moment just looking at me before I asking me if I needed anything I told her I would like to order some food she took the order and the food order came out in about 40 seconds which is really fast. The food was cold except for the fried empanadas the customer service was horrible I would not recommend this place to anyone for anything

      The menu looks good. The sample food display looks good. The problem is that every time I try to order something, they are out of it or no longer make despite what menu says. Gave up trying.

      After watching the movie Chef, now I'm about to have a Cubano w/sweet plaintains & pulled pork w/rice & beans. This is a Latin place as I was told (mix of DR & PR), which is pretty good for offering Cubanos that taste authentic. I'm currently satisfied. Next, I would like some beignets at Cafe Du Monde (one day...one day).
