    I had the most delicious jerk salmon with rice/beans and cabbage. It was amazing. The salmon was cooked perfectly and sauce was spicy, yummy and so delicious. I had the banana bread pudding for dessert, and I loved it. Not too sweet, hot in the middle…I’d get it again. Oh, and the house rum punch was great!!!

    Passing through LA, I stumbled upon a hidden gem tucked inside a busy shopping plaza called Taste of the Caribbean LA 🌴🇹🇹🇬🇾🇧🇧🇯🇲🇭🇹 The colorful Caribbean flags outside instantly caught my eye, and I just had to step inside. The moment I walked in, I was greeted by a warm, vibrant atmosphere — jerseys on the walls, “Miss Caribbean 2025” proudly displayed, and an overall aesthetic that made me feel like I was back home in Brooklyn, walking down Flatbush Avenue. I ordered in house Sorrel, the chicken dumpling soup and a curry chicken patty — both absolutely delicious. The flavors were rich, comforting, and authentic every bite brought back memories of home. I even bought a bottle of hot pepper sauce 🌶️ and jerk sauce for home, made by the chef himself. Huge shoutout to Chef James Bernard for creating such a beautiful experience and serving up true Caribbean soul in the heart of LA. If you’re ever in the area, do yourself a favor and check out Taste of the Caribbean LA, you’ll thank me later.

    Amazing Jamaican Food! I recently ate at Taste of The Caribbean LA restaurant, and everything was absolutely delicious! We ordered the jerk chicken, oxtail, beef patty, and plantains, and every single dish was full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The jerk chicken was tender with just the right amount of spice, the oxtail was rich and savory, and the beef patty was perfectly flaky and seasoned. The plantains were sweet and golden—such a perfect side. The food tasted authentic and fresh, and you can tell they put a lot of care into every meal. Overall, a fantastic experience—I’ll definitely be coming back!
