In the middle of downtown, across the street from City Hall, you will find this gem. My absolute favorite dish is the rasta pasta with oxtail. I always order a side of plantains as well for something sweet after the meal has somewhat digested lol I want to support small local businesses and restaurants, and this is definitely worth supporting. I even love the playlist and have reminisced while enjoying my food and dancing a little. I have my go-to dish, but I have also tried the fried chicken, Jamaican patty, and tacos. If you go with multiple people, order several items and share. Really, the best way to experience the fullness of flavors and dishes. Parking: It can sometimes be difficult to find parking. There are several paid street parking spaces in front of the apartment complex right next to the restaurant. If there are no spaces available in front, there is more street parking off 6th Street.

If you’re looking for some good food, this is the place. With easy parking, it’s located in a convenient place so you can drive or take the bus. The portions are big too! I recommend the Haitian lemonade and the Rasta Pasta.

Island Taste is a hidden gem in the Bay Area, offering a truly authentic Caribbean dining experience. The Jerk Chicken is a standout dish, bursting with flavor and perfectly cooked every time. What sets this place apart is its rare offering of both Jamaican and Haitian cuisine, making it a go-to spot for anyone craving a taste of the islands. The vibrant atmosphere adds to the experience, with reggae tunes and colorful decor transporting you straight to paradise. The staff are friendly and welcoming, adding to the overall warmth of the place. If you're in the mood for delicious Caribbean fare served with a side of island vibes, Island Taste is the place to be.

Delicious!!! Great portions!!! Escovitch red snapper (skankin’ sweet) and the brown stewed red snapper (one love) were amazing. I forgot to grab my festival but I could not even eat half of the food. The restaurant was very clean and welcoming. Parking: Parking is metered; picking up at opening was easy, but later in the day may be difficult

Great food as it was my first time there and the owners were friendly. Family ran mom and pop shop so gotta support them. Especially when their food is delicious. Vegetarian options: They have a few vegetarian options for a nice meal.
