Spices Caribbean Restaurant

Never had anything bad from there. It's gets busy but they take care of you. Reminds me of my favorite place in Jersey nice to know I found a spot in Jax's

My Go to spot for Jamaican food in Jax. Love the revamp that they did to give the restaurant a more modern vibe My go to is their oxtails and rice and peas w a beef patty and coco bread and a med pineapple/sweet tea lemonade Oxtails are always nice and tender w/ meat on the bones not just fat.. plantains are nice and sweet wish they were cut a little thinner Patties are nice and crispy on the outside meat seasoned and tender in the insidePineapple/sweet tea lemonade is to die for! Service was top notch, (better to call in your order) they even helped me to my car with my food because i was on crutches

Had the ox tail and It was delicious with yellow rice. Now, I have to be bias and say it reminded me of birria, just not as spicy. Still a recommend place for some good protein.

They've remolded and I love it. The staff is super nice and the menu boards are clear concise and colorful. I ordered online and was almost tempted to add things on once at the counter because the food on display looked so good. I ordered the lunch curry chicken with plantains and rice and peas. I've been here before so I know the food is good but oddly enight the curry didn't have any real ummph for me. It was regular. That's not what I'm use to with curry. I also ordered a curry shrimp patty. It was very hollow. Still good. But I expected more filling.

Got an absolute feast from @spices_jax Caribbean restaurant. The amount of food you're given is easily enough for two, maybe three meals. A regular combo gets you one meat and two sides. A jumbo, two meats and two sides. So we got the regular beef stew combo with yellow rice and fried sweet plantains and a jumbo combo of oxtail, curry goat, white rice, and sweet plantains. We also got a side of mac and cheese.Everything was fantastic. The curry goat in particular was excellent. Just a touch of heat that kind of starts in the back of your throat, tingles up the back of your spinal cord, massages your cerebellum for a bit before landing in your cerebrum for the duration of your bite.The oxtails were meaty and tender. And I love that they give you enough sauce to drench the absolute unit of a serving of rice you get with your combos. The mac and cheese is great and topped with what appears to be an entire block of cheese. Tasty to be sure, but a bit on the greasy side. Overall, a great little spot in Arlington that everyone should check out.

I visit here often when I want a quick Caribbean bite. They are consistently good and the portions are decent. Even when there's a line, service is quick. Give them a try when you're craving something from the Caribbean. My faves are the oxtails and curry chicken.

One of the best places for Jamaican food. The oxtail is always on point - well seasoned and falling off the bone tender. Always ask for extra gravy! Same with the Curry Goat and Curry Chicken. I've been here many times and never had a bad meal. I can also recommend the brown stew chicken. I will say the service is not always with a smile and there can be a bit of a wait - anywhere from 5-10 minutes. That said, I still love the place. I've never dined in, but they do have seating and that option as well.

Had the curry goat, red beans and rice, and cabbage combo. Got a coconut water on the side. Goat meat were medium-small in size. Flavor was definitely there. It was spicy and very well rounded curry flavor. Serving size was good! Ambiance was good, bathrooms were clean. It was counter service and then you can sit down inside and eat. Counter service was good. Made it efficient. I would come again. The only criticism I would have is to try to get bigger cuts of goat meat so there is a better meat to bone ratio. Delicious

Today was my first day back since they remodeled. Never have I ever had dry dark meat. I ordered a jumbo jerk chicken plate this evening and the chicken was dry and tough. My bed patties were dry and I asked her to warm up my coco bread. She warmed it too long and we all know what happens when you microwave bread too long. I was so disappointed that I couldn't eat anything else. How do you overcook dark meat? I didn't order chicken jerky. I ordered jerk chicken. Service has always been dry but I haven't found a Caribbean restaurant with upbeat staff yet.

This is your sign to eat here! The restaurant has been remodeled and is gorgeous inside! Parking is so much better, ordering is easy with 2 cashiers. The food is always great! Curry, jerk, chicken, goat, oxtails, desserts and the drinks !! My sister in law loves the smoothies, my husband might leave me for the pineapple lemonade and the punch is a must try! Seating area is gorgeous and spacious large parties shouldn't be a problem. Please go!! You won't regret it. The staff is so nice and welcoming listen to their suggestions and enjoy!
