★☆☆☆☆ 1.0 Zoraida Moreno · Jan 2026

There's a serious safety issue regarding your beans. After consuming them, my children and I developed food poisoning symptoms, including stomach cramps and diarrhea. We ate the beans from the small container and upon opening the large one, I noticed the beans were inexplicably bubbly and foamy, even while cold. It was also leaking from the sealed container. I found similar complaints from the past month, suggesting this is a recurring issue that needs immediate attention. This is very dangerous and you need to take it seriously!

I've tried to find something they don't do well, but failed. This place maintains cleanliness and the proprietors are friendly, attentive and honest. The restaurant proprietor displayed sweet consideration. I'm still dreaming about those flavors. I voiced appreciation for this spot.

I like the boneless chicken chunks. They taste good. Kinda spicy tasting and they have good flavor. I don't like that the white rice has tasted burnt several times already. They really need to learn how to cook rice and stop burning it. One time I went and the chicken was very oily and most of the breading fell off the chicken by the time I got home which was not good because that's where all the flavor is. They have to make sure the chicken itself has flavor too and not just the breading. I had to rest my chicken in the bag and you can see how much oil the bag soaked up in my pic I posted. The chicken is tasty but way too greasy. I also don't like that only like one person speaks English and they don't acknowledge you right away. Service and attitude can be improved. Also prices have gone

I first want to say that my husband and I come often to Canario to buy the combo. The food is good. However yesterday my husband order a combo. And the beans most have been left out for the whole day. He bought it like after 5pm. Our two daughters and myself got sick from our stomach, diarrhea and all. The only one that didn't get sick was my husband because he doesn't eat beans. You guys should not sell old beans or beans that have been cooked for days to your customers. You are better of telling the customers that there is no beans at the time, instead of getting them sick.

Always yummy i got empanadas, a quipe, and a ham and cheese sandwich it tasted like a dominican bodega sandwich and the bread was fresh and nicely toasted. A few staples for me are also the pollo al horno and those beans taste amazing. Please dont switch the chefs whoever is cooking God bless their hands
