Two take out for lunch (jerk chicken) today. The chicken tasted old and was not fresh. It was hard and seemed like it was left over from the day before. The plantains were also hard and not fresh. The rice was okay, but no flavor. The cabbage was fresh and tasty, but you only got a mouth full. I usually don't write reviews, but when you spend close to $40.00 for two take-out lunch meals you expect you food is going to be fresh. This was definitely not the case. This was my first time going to this restaurant and my last. It was not worth the money.
My sister and I went tonight to try the location on Main Street in laurel MD. We got the curry goat, with rice and peas, veggies and plantain. As well as the oxtail, with rice and peas, veggies and plantain. The portion amount was pretty nice over all. Both bowls were $21 each but it was absolutely amazing! The service was very welcoming as well! I will definitely be back for more !
I use to love coming to this spot, especially when my parents are visiting from the Caribbean, but the prices sky rocketed while the portions are less. Got a patte today, wasn’t even what I asked for and half of it was just dough…please think about quality if you’re going to increase your prices. If I’m going to pay near $5 for a patte, it should be the one I paid for and loaded with meat.
Disappointing change in flavor! I used to adore Caribe Express at their Laurel location, but the shift to their new Jessup spot seems to have altered the taste and quality of their food. Sadly, the flavors I once loved are no longer consistent. However, amidst this change, I must commend their beef patties; they've remained consistently fresh, hot, and delicious. It's disheartening that the overall food experience isn't as enjoyable anymore. I loved their oxtails but it’s just not as flavorful anymore and this place is quite expensive.
My first time going. I got the jerk chicken. (2 platters)Didn't really like the sauce. Kind of on the sweet side. I like my jerk chicken to be "Jerking"The portions for the chicken and cabbage could be more for the price your paying. Also I never had someone tell me I couldn't get jerk sauce on my food if it wasn't jerk chicken. Glad I didn't get it. The sauce is not it! I had much better food and nicer portions! I'll stick to what I know! You will not get full. Skimpy with the servings!
Very friendly staff, good food, great atmosphere
