About Caribbean Breeze

Owner, Michael Cordero (Café Salsa, Old Town Alexandria, Bravo's Italian Cafe, Fairfax and previously of Malibu Grill, Annandale and Fair Lakes) has created an exciting, yet relaxing Latin atmosphere at Caribbean Breeze - with a refreshing menu of Nuevo Latino fare that offers customers quite an alternative in Arlington. Choose from a long list of exotic cocktails, or a wide range of wines that pair perfectly with our fare - straight from the Caribbean.

20 Year Veteran - From The South Bronx to the Big Time

Mike has always had the instinct and drive needed for the fast paced, ever-changing restaurant business. As a child of Puerto Rican immigrants growing up in the South Bronx, Mike was introduced to the rigors of working in a restaurant at an early age. Living just two blocks from Yankee Stadium, Mike, an avid baseball player and fan, began working at a local "Mom & Pop" pizza parlor to save up money for bleacher tickets to Yankees games.

Mike's Evolution to the Washington D.C. Metro Area

It has been a fast and interesting path to success since the South Bronx, which didn't always involve the restaurant biz:

15-year old Mike gave up the Mom & Pop pizza parlor and started flipping pizzas in Jersey at Italian Delight. By 19 years old, Mike was the GM, and was attending Stockton State College on a baseball scholarship.

At 20, Mike was on the baseball diamond playing for the Seattle Mariners' Class A Minor League team! Italian Delight made him an offer he couldn't refuse… so he gave up his promising baseball career, and moved to Fairfax, VA where he lead the company's new expansions on the East Coast as President of Operations. He was instrumental in positioning Italian Delight in highly visible, profitable venues including shopping mall food courts - a relatively new approach at the time!

    Horrible service by an argumentative staff. I stopped for the Ostrich burger. When I ordered one I was told they were "out of season". As a semi-regular consumer of Ostrich meat I can assure you there is no Ostrich se

    I had the vegetable fajitas on recommendation from the waitress. The veges and portobello mushroom were burnt ,charred and still hard . There were very few onions and they charged $3.95 for a small cup of pineapple sals

    This restaurant is terrible! The food sucks (except the waffle fries) and the staff always asks me for drugs. The TV's are from the 1990's so as a sports bar it's terrible. I would not recommend this restaurant to an ene

    My wife and I had the experience of trying out Padrino's as we were looking for a place to eat. What a disappointment. The food was cold on the inside and hot on the outside and we found out later on that they heat and s

    This is a small place with good food. It has local artists work displayed and has a small art studio in the basement. They have some difficulty addressing the needs of a larger group more than 4 but is a fun place to go

    I have eating here many times and Gary and Martha's (Owners) seafood never disappoints. I like the fact that it is family run and has been for a couple of decades now. Gary is a master at preparing flavorful dishes and
