Review Caribbean Taste - San Diego

Stacey S•
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!

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.

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. Also we ordered the patty (beef and chicken) it was delicious. The patty is like an breaded empanada with meat inside... A lot of people were coming in ordering takeout, and also a few people eating inside. Everything came out great and we enjoyed our meal (even had leftovers). The environment is what's expected on Imperial Ave. But the friendly service and delicious food is what gave this review 5 stars! 🤙

This place is sooo good! Anything you order is amazing. Yesterday, I was craving curry goat but I was closer to a different Jamaican restaurant and it was a mistake, the food was horrible so I had to get curry goat from Caribbean taste to get my fix today, and of course they didn’t disappoint. I won’t ever order from other place again!

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!

My pops took us to this place that I have never been to before, where we orderd 2 small plate of Oxtail and Jerk chicken dinners. After we were home and taste the food, WOW! I just had to share with my neighbors. I will definitely be going back, the food was EXCELLENT!

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.

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.

My favorite is the large chicken curry. Includes rice and peas, mixed veggies(cabbage, corn & carrots), a serving of 3-4 fried plantains and a large portion of stewed chicken that falls off the bone in a curry gravy.

Delicious food..meat fall of the bones(Brown Stew Chicken)..seasoned just right..Authentic Jamaican Cuisine..

I always get the jerk chicken when I go. It is absolutely my favorite dish. I do wonder if they do party platters for the jerk chicken and oxtail dishes.

It’s been several months, if not a year since I order. Customer relations is always amazing. This time when I order the usual it did not taste the same and a bit salty 🥴

Great casual place. Lot of people getting take-away, but it was great to eat in too. Loved the curry goat, and plentiful portions.
