    Delicious!!! Updating my previous 5 star review:: still love Caribbean Lunchbox! This meal never fails to shake up a midweek cooking slump or a weekend get together. We favor the jerked chicken and rice with a side of Mac n cheese!! So so good!

    So cute!

    Yummmm!! It took a little bit to find this spot. Passed by thinking it was a coffee stand! But it's not! Love the tiny little blue stand!! Jamaican food is my favorite. I've had it! I love it! It's always pretty delicious. To find it on this island was a surprise. So much so that drove from Langley for it! Was a drive! The girl that was working here is super friendly. It takes a little bit of time to get your food but it's not fast food. So it's ok. She was nice! Got a sample of their coconut rice: a little too sweet for me! But it was nice! The food: curry goat! This was what I got hooked on in Jamaica. I love curry goat! Tried it every chance I get. This one feels a ok. The curry was sweet and the goat feel chewy and doesn't feel was it was cooked in the sauce. Quite tough!Bummer! Jerk chicken: nice flavor! Got the with the coconut rice. Doesn't pair well. Tasty chicken though! Best part/ the hot sauce!!!! Totally Jamaican spicy!! I loved the hot sauce!! Scotch bonnet? Not sure. But it was tasty spicy fun!!! Overall, such a fun stop! I'll come back if I'm in the area to try other stuff!!

    My favorite feel-good meal on the island: Oxtail, fried plantains and coconut rice

    There is no finer treat for lunch than Caribbean Lunchbox's oxtail! Generous portions, so perfectly cooked. Thank you for being here, and serving INCREDIBLE food!

    Amazing! This little hut is the best thing ever. I'm so glad I stopped by and tried it. My favorite thing is the wings, it has a hint of spice and is extremely delicious. Can't wait to be back.

    Coconut rice

    Small stand on the side of the road, kind of like a coffee stand but with delicious Caribbean food instead! I had the goat curry and a side of jerk shrimp with coconut rice. The goat curry was tender, flavorful and not too spicy. The jerk shrimp was a little too spicy for me personally. But I am not a huge spice fan and enjoy milder dishes. I enjoyed the rice that was cooked perfectly and tasted wonderfully of coconut, it paired very well with the goat curry. This was my first time going here and I would definitely go again!

    Taste of the Caribbean is a black- and woman- owned Jamaican restaurant in the Central District…read more (The Central District rocks as a source for minority owned ethnic foods.) Walking in, the layout suggests they are also a party/mini-concert/event space. Service is casual; we were told to sit anywhere. I should have boogied my way to the table. We happily browsed through the menu looking at the many choices, some very unfamiliar. Everything looks so good, and prices are reasonable. We need to return and be more adventurous next time. Our server was helpful, guiding portion size and optional sides. The Food: Jerk Chicken plate, add steamed veggie, $20 + $2 - 5 Stars True to the jerk seasoning, theirs is spicy, as it should be. I find it annoying when jerk seasoning isn't spicy enough. The seasoning tastes even spicier when I drink water, and the heat spreads. So good! I was also happy they use boned chicken, which is more flavorful. I asked about veggies, that is $2 extra. Oxtails plate, add rice & peas, $24 + $1 - 5 Stars With beefy stock, these oxtail pieces are well-seasoned and paired well with root vegetables. A small salad and the rice & peas are a good match to the oxtail. I enjoy seeing oxtails used in different recipes. Jamaican patty, $5 - 5 Stars These beef meat pies are freshly baked and arrived at our table smoking hot. We were happy that we ordered two, so we wouldn't have to share. Haha. Very delicious. Plantains, $8 - 5 Stars From the appetizers portion of the menu, these are perfectly fried, caramelized, with minimal blackened carcinogens. This plate was a particularly good batch.

    Great Jamaican food in the Seattle area with reasonable prices! Service is decent and the staff is…read morefriendly.

I'd always wanted to try Mofongo so that was an easy decision (ordered with pork); we also ordered the pernil sandwich with tostones. Both were super tasty and we scarfed it all down. (Thus no pictures...) Word of warning (such as it is): BIG garlic flavor, which we loved, but be warned that you will have some serious dragon breath afterwards for hours Food was reasonably priced for the quality and portions. I'm not sure what the price complaints are about? Great atmosphere, lovely people and delicious food. Do check them out when you're in Fairhaven.

    Food was pretty good. Nothing that knocked our socks off. I went looking for a specific menu item…read morebut they had removed it. First time for us at a Puerto Rican restaurant so we weren't sure what to expect. The location is a good part of town and the restaurant was nice and cozy. Little bit chill though. They for sure weren't running the heat much. Service was helpful and kind but getting our food was quite slow. They did apologize with the reasoning being only had 1 cook. I can appreciate that but when you're out for one of the busiest restaurant nights of the year, you should be expecting a busy night and be staffed appropriately.
