I took a weekend trip out to San Diego and right before I left me and my friend ordered food from here. I ordered the brown stew fish plate, it was so good I wanted to eat it all in one sitting but my stomach wouldn’t let me. I heat it up the next day it taste just as good as the day before. I love how they’re not stingy on the serving either especially the plantains they packed both our plates up. I highly recommend this restaurant.

As of now, this has been my second time visiting the Caribbean Taste. Both times I ordered the large oxtail plate, roughly $20, which comes with rice and peas, vegetables, and sweet plantains. One thing for certain, they give you an abundance of food and the flavor profile of the popular Jamaican cuisine is there. The downside of it all is that you regret attempting to eat the entire plate and later suffer from being full and satisfied; drowsiness kicks in.

The jerk chicken was delicious and has a kick to it. The oxtails were tender and juicy. I love the portion size here. They are generous with it. I kept seeing regulars coming in and out so it must be that good. Don’t mind the sketchy area. It’s CASH ONLY!

First time going here, they had delicious food, great service and a plentiful meal (for a big family). We ordered a large goat curry (12.50 for large), ox tail, and jerk chicken.

I stopped on Juneteeth. have been going to this place for years. I got a oxtail place w/ rice and peas, and Pantians. Very gets old and its always good. Easy to find place, and the service is pretty fast. I wanted some parties but they were out. It was the end of the day though.

THEY NOW ACCEPT CREDIT CARD PAYMENTS . I had chest pains after all of that salt consumption . It was good spicy food and they cooked it fast but I was not looking for that much salty flavor sauce in my food . Are there any vegetarian options ? Why is there no nutritional info in the menu ? Why are there so many marijuana smokers standing outside of the doorway ? Two beggars asked me for change as I walked to this restaurant from the laundry place . Light rail trolley is across the street .

This is one best Jamaican food I’ve had. I’m glad the menu offered brown stew chicken and cabbage! The staff was nice.

Maaaaan was the food good! I tried the spicy jerk chicken and it was really good and it actually had a good kick to it. The rice and vegetables that it came with were full of flavor and the portions were decent. The plantains were actually a lil sweet to which was a great surprise!
