Sometimes a hole in the wall is exactly what you want, and Caribbean Taste is that. Every meal is…read moreprepared as though you're going to leave, but everyone is welcome to stay. My permanent date, who has been to Jamaica and pronounced her jerk chicken absolutely authentic. I, who hasn't been to Jamaica, was delighted with the oxtails. As I was working with a plastic fork, there was a bit of using my fingers to pick the meat off the bones, which was completely worth it. She had to caution me to pause, as the quantity of rice and beans is more than any single person should eat in one sitting. Survey. Helpful hint: get a small if you don't want leftovers, but the large will make for a nice lunch the next day. Also, this place gets five stars despite not having sodas on tap. The joint is too small for that amenity, but they do have some Jamaican sodas in a fridge which looked delightful.

The staff was friendly & greeted us right away. The hubby and I shared their large combo. We opted for the oxtail & the BBQ chicken. It was a HUGE serving & everything was delicious.... The chicken wasn't as hot as I would've liked it (temperature) but it was tasty. This is a small restaurant with limited seating. But the food and vibes were great.

Can't get mad at the service tho , typical Jamaican attitudes although I feel like you could be a little kinder to make people feel more welcome.

Came for R&B Sunday brunch and it was SUCH a vibe…read more The Italian sausage & mushroom pizza was sooo yummy -- cheesy, savory, and the crust was givinggg. We also got the spicy mango ceviche, which was super refreshing and the perfect balance with the pizza. Definitely recommend both! Service was friendly and good. The only downside was that it got a little stuffy and hot inside because everyone and their mama was out for brunch but honestly, I get it because the vibe was there. I also heard Friday and Saturday nights are POPPIN' and it basically turns into a nightclub I definitely wanna come back at night to see the scene for myself. Brunch was a vibe, food was yummy, music was hitting -- I'll be back!

Went in for breakfast around opening time, around 10:30 AM, and unfortunately left very…read moredisappointed. We were told they were already booked with reservations, even though we could see quite a few empty tables/seats inside. What made the situation even more frustrating was that a couple who arrived immediately before us was accepted as a walk-in. However, shortly after, the male host turned us away and told us they don't accept walk-ins and that reservations are prioritized. We completely understand prioritizing reservations, but the inconsistency was disappointing, especially when we had just watched another walk-in party get seated. If walk-ins aren't accepted, it would be helpful to have that policy clearly communicated upfront so guests know what to expect. Also, if you're visiting with a baby or stroller, be aware that the restaurant is not particularly stroller-friendly. We had to carry our stroller up the stairs, which was difficult and inconvenient, especially with a baby. Overall, the experience left us disappointed before we even had the opportunity to try the food. We were really looking forward to having breakfast here, but the way the situation was handled made us feel unwelcome. Hopefully the restaurant can improve its communication regarding reservations and walk-ins, as well as accessibility for families with young children.

After leaving NY, I never thought I would be able to taste authentic Puerto Rican food just like my…read moremom used to make when I was young. I tried a few places in San Diego, and they were decent, but nothing to write home about. When a friend recommended me to Wanda's Puerto Rican Cuisine, I thought it can't hurt... Maybe it will be decent since it's homebased... After trying the pernil, arroz gandules, empanadas and pasteles (especially the pasteles)... I had to declare this was the best puerto rican food... [dare I say]... EVEN BETTER THAN MY MOM'S‼ I almost [probably did] cried while eating it. The next time I brought it home, I refused to share it with my husband, but he's stronger than me, so he got some. I thought I would be smart the third time and ate it when he wasn't home, but it almost broke up my marriage when he came home and smelled the fragrant delicacies in the air, but no remnants of the actual food‼ If you don't mind ruining your marriage for this fantastic Puerto Rican food, then you should definitely order from her‼ She has an Instagram page, so you have to direct message her to order: https://share.google/KiXehQlzI2LRdcDFF Don't forget to order the cheese and guava pastry too... It's another fight waiting to happen in my marriage if I don't buy at least a half dozen to share with him‼

Im from NYC so maybe when it comes to bori/dominican food my expectations are higher. The rice con gandules and the pernil was salty. the arroz con leche was good just very mushy. the beans literally were just seasoned with black pepper cause thats all you taste we didnt get pass a spoon. The maduros were bad when you bite into them you tasted the bitterness bc they were passed due. The tostones were perfect well fried not oily. The salami we also got was good, its just salami cant really mess it up there all tho they did only give us 6 thin oieces which for 5$ i think was a rip off. The queso as well we got like 7 small peices for $5 kind of stingy.

The pastelillos were fiiire. The beef were my favorite. The lechon and mofongo were delicious. As was the papas rellenas. Bomb. But the winner for me was the Puerto Rican fried chicken. I would walk through traffic to get that. It was phenomenal. Hot or cold (I ate leftovers cold later) was absolutely beyond delicious. The customer service here is fantastic, the people are extremely nice and helpful. Very welcoming. Would absolutely come here again without a question.
