"This is my second time here and they are consistent for bland food! I wanted to give them a try again because I might have visited on an off day with the kitchen, No! Still no taste, bland, and uncooked (especially the chicken wings). The drinks arethe most horrible thing you’ll experience. It felt like a 5 year old added things together and called it a drink. The serviceis slow even if you’re the only ones in there and the food takes a while to come out. How? We were the only people in there,so why was service so delayed? If you don’t have a Spanish speaking person in your group so not go because the waiters onlyspeak Spanish and the bare minimum English. I do not recommend this place at all!"

"Food was too salty and the yellow rice was not cook thoroughly , rice should not be hard when you chew. To top it off, its too expensive. If you want to charge over 20.00 for rice beans and a side of meat; it better be on point. This was not. I'm sure there are folks who like it but I've been cooking for over thirty years, so, I think I know a thing or two about cooking rice. It's also that they might have had a busy day. Things happen. Still overall the price is too high for the product quality."

"Place is well designed and big, but the drinks takes 2 long to b prepared, I guess they only have a bar expert, unless u get beers only, the food is ok. My pork chops were overcooked, the beans are good, but the rice is 2 compressed hard to separate with a fork, use a spoon instead. Prices are decent and fair 4 what you eat. Waitress was excellent, we gave her a good tip."

"I want to start by mentioning that I'm quite particular about my food, but this restaurant truly deserves a 5-star rating from us. We had their catering for my niece's wedding, and everything went smoothly. The food was delivered on time and was piping hot. Everything we tried was delicious—rice, chicken, beef, pork, and potato salad. However, the standout dish for me was the pástelon; it was absolutely delightful!"

"The highlight of my meal was definitely the pork chops and onions. They are packed with incredible flavor that will leave you wanting more. The beans have a nice taste, but they are a bit on the salty side. As for the chicken, it had good flavor but was a bit dry; this could be because I arrived an hour before closing. Overall, I’d recommend this place for delicious Spanish cuisine in New York City. The customer service is excellent, and the staff is more than willing to assist you in choosing your meal."

"I had the worst customer service experience at El Caldero Restaurant Sport. When I placed my order, someone else arrived and was served before me, as if I didn’t exist. The cashier seemed unaware of me and continued to attend to other customers ahead of me. I waited for an hour and a half just to receive three whole chickens. It felt like the staff favored certain customers they knew while ignoring others. The experience was incredibly frustrating and left me feeling I was treated unfairly. The menu options were overshadowed by the poor service."

"We had quite a disappointing experience at this restaurant. Shortly after placing our order, the waitress informed us that one of the appetizers was unavailable, despite the fact that the restaurant was largely empty, with only our group of six and a couple at another table present. We then waited an astonishing 40 minutes for water, despite asking for it three times. To make matters worse, the couple who arrived after us received their meals before we did. One woman at their table even ordered takeout with several dishes, which were served before ours, while all other takeout orders were prioritized over our own. After waiting an hour and a half for our food, we decided to simply ask for the check. In a bewildering moment, the waitress asked a cook if we still wanted the food we had been waiting for, all while maintaining a straight face. The food might have been good, but unfortunately, we never had the chance to find out."
