Y'all, I'm not gonna lie--I got a little nervous when I rode by and saw the old Taste of Caribbean…read morelocation CLOSED! I thought, "Now hold on... somebody better start explaining!"
Luckily, no need to panic! They just moved right down the street to 141 E. Capitol, in what I believe is the old Elite Restaurant location.
Walked in and, just like always, was greeted with a friendly face. I ordered the jerk pork and cabbage, and LORD HAVE MERCY... it was absolutely DELICIOUS! That jerk pork was packed with flavor, and the cabbage was so good I could've eaten another plate of it by itself.
And let me tell y'all something else--the ribs I've had there in the past are legitimately some of the BEST ribs I've ever put in my mouth. And I've put a respectable number of ribs in my mouth over the years, so I don't make that statement lightly!
Looks like they are working on their decor, but it doesn't affect the food! Quick, convenient, easy parking, friendly folks, and food that'll have you thinking about your next plate before you've finished the first one.
If you haven't tried Taste of Caribbean, that's your loss--and I mean that with love! Do yourself a favor, go see these folks, order you something good, and GET SOME CARIBBEAN IN YO BODY!!
You can thank me later!!
