The Menu is Located Here: Caramba Cafe Menu & Photos
A Mexican Restaurant & Bar up for Review. Caramba Cafe located on 163 Dongon Street, 10310, Port Richmond, Staten Island. Talking to a few people around here can tell you that this place is nick-named “Little Mexico”. Ethnic places fill up Port Richmond Ave, with great food to be found in almost any place we have tried so far. Tacos La Abuelita which is opened until 5am on the weekends and Ricuerdas or Los Potrillas. All Authentic Mexican establishments.
Now comes the latest Grand Opening of “Caramba Cafe”: Greatly designed and well suited establishment off the major strip on a quiter block. A Small “Mini-Bar” with about 6 – 7 Chairs in the front, Dining room with many tables and a Dancing floor (If you ever decide to bring your date out here). �
Off the Bat: Mexican Ethnic Establishments usually are more lively, which includes music playing, people dancing (Any nite of the week), patrons litterly are “Stayin’ Alive”. The place is very comftorable, you do not need to speak Spanish to visit a Mexican Restaurant.
Food & Service: The waitress was very friendly (Watch out for the Pen, it Stings!!!), The ordering process was fun, Language barrier was interesting to get by and made it feel much more authentic. The food ordered and tried was (Bistek a la Mexicana, Pork Ribs & Another meal), Tortillas were served on the side in a plastic container to keep it warm (by the end of the meal the tortillas were somehow still amazingly hot?).
The Food was just delicious, every part of the meal (I ordered spicy) was so tasty, came with a side of beans, rice & a whole lot of flavour. The other two meals, Carnitas Ribs (Pork Ribz) came on a bone but was very easy to remove. The meat just slid right off and came straight into the tortilla, add the sides and toppings and just have a taste. This is not done yet, there is still another meal: Pork chop in Sauce. Readers and Patrons Beware!!!!, The Sauce is Hot! With my tortilla I have dipped in to try the (Orange) looking sauce to find my tounge burning (Corona Didn’t Help!!!). For spicy food lovers, this may be a great meal. Mexican food is naturally a bit spicy and so was my meal, but this is on the WoW! Factor.
Anyways I will definantly be back to visit this place and may even write a follow up review. But for now if you want to try something out of the ordinary, with a nice comtorable atmosphere, try Caramba Cafe.
