Woe betide the naive customer who falls on the wrong side of Lily, El Caribe's proprietor and constant presence. Her often brusque demeanor belies a heart of gold, and the care that goes into the delicious food and award-winning salsa is superb. We once witnessed her turn away a party of 25 because they wanted separate checks. It's her way or the highway, folks, but once you get one of El Caribe's high-octane margaritas coursing through your system, everything else just slides away. To quote one of her caveats: "We don't care to hear your complaints."
