My oxtails were burnt....they weren't blackened or jerked they were burnt. My price and peas tasted like mush. A disgustingly side order of mush. The chicken was so over cooked that it was chewy in the worse way and I thought plantain chips were hard. These overly cooked or overly ripe bananas are just that with some jam on them. This was a waste all the way around.

Really tasty food. Plantains were heaven!Needs some improvements in texture of meat.The meat (pork) was dry. But I loved the taste

Vegetarians! Get some flavor here!Waiting on my car at America’s Tire in RWC and took a stroll around the block. Walked past Cariblue around lunch-time. Smelled really yummy but I was still working off my breakfast.Original estimate had my car finished in about an hour so on my second pass, I stopped to check out menu.Caribbean flavors with all sorts of protein options.I am a flexitarian but was so excited to see they had vegetarian entrees.I ordered the Curry Tofu & Jerk Polenta combo and one Pineapple Upside-down Cake, to-go.Brought it home and tasted a few bites!The sauce on Curry Tofu was yummy mild curry flavor, however I wished the cubes were a tad smaller for more flavorful surface-area ratio.Jerk Polenta, a bit spicy but so, so delicious. I would make a special trip just for this part of the dish. Crispy corners and soft middle of every wedge made it toothsome and hearty.Combo comes with sides.The mixed veggies underneath tofu and polenta were a bit salty. The Rice and Beans were a little dry but definitely had layers of flavor.Plantains were slightly sweet and a perfect-sized treat.Vegetarian options: Jerk Polenta is worth a special trip. Yummmm.

Phenomenal food and customer service. This was my first time trying Jamaican food, and I am blown away by the uniqueness of the flavors, the combination of spices in the rice and the meat is nothing I’ve ever tried before. The owner is the chef behind all meals made from scratch. This is definitely our new weekly spot!

Hidden gem, This place has the greatest Caribbean food. The jerk sauce is amazing, and the chicken falls right off the bone. The ox tail is great. Staff is nice. Love this place, frequent it very often. ?

A real treat! I don’t get Caribbean food often.Had the jerk chicken and oxtail combo. It came with coconut rice/beans and sweet plantains. Wish I lived closer I’d come regularly.I’d give the food 4.5 stars. The proprietor is really nice and kind. The atmosphere is quiet, but was exactly what I wanted for my solo working lunch.

Great little Mom and Pop restaurant. Great selection of meat and vegetarian entress from oxtail to ribs to chicken and even tofu. All the meat was super tender with good portion sizes. The spice level is high enough for flavor but tolerable for most people. The plantains, carnival bread, and Mac and cheese were all delicious sides. Would definitely come back again.
