Wonderful! Had the curry chicken, with beans and rice and vegetables. Was not disappointed! Has to be the most authentic food period. But to have a place like this in Santa Fe! Cheryl is such a true treasure.
Service was a bit slow and lackluster t the beginning even though we were the only customers there but picked up eventually. Food serving was good for the price and the spiciness of the curry chicken didn't disappoint. The rice and beans was okay but didn't live up to expectations. Had the patty and Irish moss as well and both were great. Overall purchase was less than $30 and I'm pleased with the quality I received. Will definitely go back again.
Sharon was very very nice and friendly. But her food IS ON POINT!!!
The food was PERFECT! The jerk chicken, jerk pork , rice and peas, one tail stew was all TOP NOTCH! Also her Jamaican patties are bigger and filled with more meat than GOLDEN CRUSTS!!!
I ordered the jerk chicken, Oxtail and the appetizer plate and it came out to 60 bucks. The food made my wife sick and it was very upsetting the way the food tasted. I thought maybe it would be good because i had jerk chicken before that was good. It was a bad experience and waste of money, i wouldn't spend your hardworking money here. Im not picky at all either but i didn't enjoy this. The portion size is very small for your money too. 60 bucks for 2 school lunchs
The food is delicious tasting! Ordered drinks as well: Caribbean fruit punch and Caribbean red stuff. The staff and owner were very nice and also presented my husband and I with a sample plate while we drank our beer* waiting for our meals. We are for sure coming back! Thumbs up for us!
* select variety of beer foreign and domestic, even on tap. They also have wine.
Update: same great taste and great hospitality! If you haven't tried this place, please, stop on by!
My wife and I arrived at the restaurant shortly after it opened, becoming the third and fourth customers. The interior was uncomfortably warm, so I mentioned to the woman—who I later learned was the cook—that it felt hot. She consulted the young man taking food orders and asked if the air conditioner was on; he confirmed that it was. We placed our order—two appetizers and two entrees, along with iced tea and a glass of merlot—and then sat at a table devoid of napkins and silverware. The young man who took our order and processed our credit card displayed neither friendliness nor hostility; he seemed rather unhappy to be there. Within ten minutes of ordering, more customers arrived. After 20 minutes, our tea and wine finally arrived, and the restaurant had cooled to about 78 degrees. As we observed other patrons placing their orders and paying in advance, we continued to wait. It took a full 61 minutes from our arrival for our appetizers to be brought to the table. Meanwhile, the man with his family, who arrived shortly after us, got up from his table and left to feed the parking meter. His family looked equally miserable after waiting for their food. My wife and I spent another five minutes trying to catch the attention of the cashier/server to request plates, silverware, and napkins so we could finally eat. While the chicken wings in mango and habanero sauce were very tasty, the meat patty fell short. After an additional 15 minutes, our fried catfish and Virgin Island spicy chicken salad arrived. We asked for refills of iced tea and wine. The catfish was excellent, but the spicy chicken salad was a major disappointment—I could barely manage a single bite. The chicken didn’t taste fresh. Frustrated, I rose from the table and spent the next two minutes trying to get the attention of the cook, as the young man taking orders was nowhere to be seen. Eventually, the friendly cook emerged from the kitchen. I told her we no longer wanted the tea refills and the wine. She said the tea was ready and brought us the take away cups. We thanked her and left. I remember feeling very sorry for her, but we were so happy to leave that place. The impression I had was she did all the cooking in the kitchen with little to no help. All things considered, it was an unpleasant experience. We feel the poor service and hour long wait for food preparation are reasons enough for us to never to return to A Taste of the Caribbean.
I have been coming to fabulous place for years. My favorite dish is the Ox tail. The service makes you feel at home. Love, love,love taste of the Caribbean ????
It’s been some years since I’ve been here. Been passing them by for some weeks now, so I said let me try them out today. I’m so glad I did the service was great and place was very clean. Food was hot and ready in a reasonable time. Thank You again for your wonderful service and food.
