For generations, Chinese chefs were chameleons. They adopted cooking techniques to local ingredients and flavor profiles. In America, this was chop suey and later sesame chicken. South of the border, it was arroz chaufa and tallarin salatado.
While the term "chifa" originated in Peru, it's come to represent a style of Chinese-Latin cooking that can be found form El Paso to the Tierra del Fuego. Having eaten at these places in Colombia, Peru and Chile, I was excited to see that fourth reincarnation of the Caridad space was the first proper chifa in North Brooklyn.
I love that there's a place consistently, perhaps even defiantly, making an investment in this area's Latino population at a time of accelerating gentrification. The menus are completely bilingual, and the clientele when I dined on a Saturday afternoon mostly Spanish speaking.
It still early, but there seemed to be more diners around than during the waning days of when this place served Puero Rican food. Chicken is still option here, but now it can also be mixed into fried rice. There are sides of planting for appetizers, also with crispy fried wontons.
I had chicken and peppers. The generous portion came with an egg roll divided in two and presented diagonally. The side was fried rice, mixed with what seemed like three kinds of pork and crispy lettuce.
This isn't the most refined food in the world, and it really does gain something but having positive associations for these dishes, but Caridiad is a great example of the form. Whether this is a first time eating these dishes or the 300th, this is a great place to do it.
In a neighborhood where they practicaly invented Chino Latino food, this establishment is a welcome addition. An old and well-known joint recently closed its doors not too far away. I'm sure this place will be received with much delight by those that discover what lies in store behind the neon Caridad China sign.
I order take out from here. A LOT.
It popped up on my Seamless offerings and I couldnt resist. The pepper steak and tostones arrived perfectly hot while the tostones were crisp and tasty.
I have since been ordering at least once per week.
I recently had a visit to the establishment. It was clean and quiet and I had a great meal as expected.
This is a great spot. I will be back.
I was excited to see a Spanish Chinese restaurant in North Brooklyn, for years I traveled to Castle Hill in Bronx for my Latin Chinese fusion cuisine. Today I found a new place to call home.
First off the place is exceptionally clean and the staff is extremely friendly. We ordered the Tostones with garlic vinaigrette and the ham fried rice with an egg to go. I did not get a protein because my girlfriend made Korean fried chicken extra crispy; But both side dishes were packed with the right flavors and spices to compliment any dish.
The only thing I would like to see added to the menu is Latin skirt steak with garlic vinaigrette.
