The establishment isn’t in the best location. It sits on the side of the road and you can easily drive past it if you aren’t paying attention. Inside it’s clean and well lit however the air is stagnant so it’s a bit humid.
The woman who served me was friendly and professional so three stars for her alone. However……the oxtails are severely overpriced. $25 for a small and $30 for the large!
To complete my review and compare apple to apples, I ordered a small and another small from another Jamaican establishment on Hull St, near Warwick.
Caribbean Taste was ‘okay’ but not as good as the other restaurant. Maybe I went on an off day. They were out of seafood and vegetarian option, reggae chicken and reggae wings. I could’ve easily spent $100 trying different dishes but unfortunately that was not an option today.
Not naming the other restaurant on purpose but if you’re from the area you already know :-).
In my opinion it was missing the spices I’m used to. The oxtail, rice and peas, and cabbage were very oily. The brown stew chicken was dry and lacked taste.
I definitely wish the business well. The price for the oxtails isn’t fitting the location. It’s even worse when the other restaurant charged $13.50 for the same small oxtail. I try to support small business but this was a one woman show so the cost isn’t comparable to another small business with more staff.

We had the Ox Tails and Curry Chicken. Both were amazing. Some of the best Caribbean food we have had in Virginia. I highly recommend both dishes we had. We will be back to Caribbean Taste!!!

So…. let me just say I like doing Google reviews because I want to help people like me who are looking for good places near them. I say this with love because there is so much potential.
Service- frankly I don’t expect the warm and fuzzy service from Jamaican restaurants. The service here was straight forward, although they didn’t have a lot of food options available. Like 40% of the menu was not an option. It would be great if that was made clear. This is not my first time here and not the first time most options were not available.
Food- I ordered a classic, curry chicken. Now in my opinion it’s really hard to mess this up. But….. the curry chicken lacked the curry roux that everyone loves. It also was spicy in the most unnecessary way, and I love spicy but not with this. The rice and peas was sweet, which was not great, it seemed to be made with coconut milk. The cabbage was not great either and generally everything lacked seasoning.
Atmosphere- I drive by daily and rarely see anyone parked there, much less sitting outside on their patio. They have the potential to be great but being more interactive, pairing down the menu, and making the few dishes amazing would truly benefit this business.
The two stars are because it’s edible and I did this to myself smh. But honestly I hope the owners and chef see this and invest in themselves and make the business better

So I see the owner’s reply accusing me of being from another store. I am quite google-able, and not affiliated, just a regular person who loves carribean food. I do hope they take into account the other reviews saying similar things I did. But with that said save yourself the trouble and don’t eat here. There are definitely better places to eat.

I went there yesterday to pick stew Chicken and Oxtail both large. After going home and opening the food I was shocked, every piece of meat was all fats and One large potato with 80% of the plate being rice and cabbage. The stew Chicken honestly had a lot of oil fats that made the chicken disgusting. I called back and explained, the lady who served me was so rude and said return the food and get a full refund, but she had a condition attached to it, make sure the food is untouched. So my question was, how did I know the food was not good if I didn’t pick a piece of meat or chicken. The lady charged me $ 46 for the food, never got a refund and never God any better food or any compensation. This is very bad and poor customer service. I don’t recommend this place to anyone who cares about their food and their money.

I love to support but I literally took three bites and threw my food away. I got the curry chicken with white rice and cabbage. I asked for extra gravy. Didn’t get any. I can be a rice snob so I didn’t take away for the rice ( it had to be short grain minute rice, but a suggestion would be long grain or jasmine) but the chicken had so many little bones in it. It was all in the rice and cabbage little pieces of chicken bones. How is the chicken so dry and it’s curry? Maybe use quarter chicken pieces. I love that white meat was used but if it’s going to be dry I’ll take dark. I also would suggest more curry seasoning added as it was bland. I think someone said it tasted like the seasoning was washed off before serving. That’s exactly what it tasted like to me. I drove 16 minutes for this and don’t think I will return unless someone convinces me otherwise. Everyone has a bad day. The restaurant was empty and she didn’t seem at all happy to have a customer. The place was very clean.

I’ve been craving oxtail, and this really hit the spot. Tender, melt off the bone meat, flavorful seasonings, wonderful gravy – and the beans and rice! My first bite and I was immediately taken to the islands. All around it was a wonderful meal. I got the large thinking I would save the leftovers – ended up eating the whole thing! No regrets.
The jerk chicken was delicate, juicy, and crispy. And the adobo sauce is killer! Complex yet smooth, and the spice has a delayed hit that keeps pounding! Definitely pair it with the rice and cabbage.
I highly recommend going. But do not expect luxurious atmosphere. It’s great food, so be happy with that. I’ll definitely return. I know it’s a new place, so I wish the owner all the luck and good fortune as she innovates, expands, and continues to create exceptional expectations.

Very friendly service.
Delicious homemade food. Ready very quickly. I had a large portion of curry rice, beans, cabbage and carrots enough for 2 or 3 helpings, for under $6! You can’t buy a generic sandwich for that… inside and outside seating and plenty of parking lot parking.

Today after church, I came to this restaurant for the first time. All I can say is that everything gets 5 stars for me! The customer service was fantastic and my food was
I got the mini curry chicken meal for myself and the large jerk chicken meal for my husband. The portions are huge and the chicken was FULL of flavor and soooo tender! We will definitely come back to try the oxtails.

This place is really new, but the food was AMAZING!!! I had the curry goat and also sampled the brown stew chicken, my wife had the curry chicken and my kids both had the island chicken. We had a group of 15 and were served very timely. Everyone enjoyed their food. Will DEFINITELY return!! My daughter gave them “10 stars,” I agree!

The curry chicken was spicy that I couldn’t eat it. The curry juice was thin and more like soup, it suppose to be thicker. The rice had little beans in it.
The beef and chicken patties were alright, traditional.
