The Best Caribbean in Phoenix

Ocho Rios Jerk Spot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (364) • $$

"Originally wasn't sure what to expect because the restaurant isn't in the best part of town. With that being said, the inside of the restaurant is very nice and clean! There is plenty of parking in the little plaza. The food and service were both amazing! I ordered my favorite of all time Jamaican dish: stew chicken. I did not disappoint. I love that you get to pick 2 sides and there is a variety to choose from. They are opening a spot closer to my house in Laveen and I cannot wait!"

"This was my second time here and it was decent. The food could have been a little more seasoned but it was good. The wait was a bit long but they did address us and let us know they were short staffed which I understand. Things happen. Overall it was pretty good and the portions of food was to my liking. I will give them another try."

"Amazing food which I got from Uber Eats! (Shoutout to Carlita for the fast delivery) Jerk Chicken plate with two sides - perfectly spiced just the way I like it and the sauce went perfectly with the rice and peas. Plaintains we're excellent as well. Chicken was moist and full of that delicious jerk seasoning. Fried tilapia plate - Tasty breaded filet of tilapia with a sweet and spicy sauce! Comes with rice and peas and a salad and wifey loves it.Beef Pattie - like an empanada but better! Full of tasty ground beef and a light pastry outside. I'd eat one of these everyday for lunch! It's clear the food is made with a lotta love here! I really wanna visit in person and have more asap. Really appreciate that they don't tone down the spice and flavor here as well. I wish the owners would adopt me!"

Desert Island Eatery

"This place is so cute! Me and my husband came to try this spot due to the vegan options! It's family owned and love that it has a homey feel to it. Very friendly family. It's small inside but there's a table where you can enjoy your food inside and plenty of outdoor tables. I decided to try the bbq tofu with potato salad, and vegan Mac and cheese. I was happy with the Mac and cheese. It doesn't taste vegan and it's made really well and the taste is delicious. The potato salad is sooo good! I loved how flavorful it was. The tofu is nice and I enjoy the flavor and love the amount they give. My husband loved his food! He doesn't like plantains, but this time he ordered oxtail,plantain, and yellow rice. He was enjoying everything he had and kept complimenting the plantains. Overall the flavors were delicious. The service was good and pretty fast for getting all the food out for us. Definitely recommend trying this place."

"In our quest to find great Mexican food we stopped here and found it.I had the Machaca and eggs plate. The meat was very tender and flavorful and the eggs not too dry. The beans were fantastic, just how I like them and the rice good as well.My wife had the Cocido and she said it's authenticity perfect, home made with fresh ingredients and she fell in love with it. The servers were very kind and respectful as if it were their own restaurant. Very clean place and I will tell you that as of now, it's our "Go To" place for Mexican food. Will try other dishes another day but for now I am extremely happy we found this place."

Ms Martha's Caribbean Restaurant

★★★★★ 4.5 (81) • $$

"Ms Martha's Caribbean Restaurant is located in Phoenix. It's a very casual restaurant where you order at the counter. They do have a few tables inside and a few outside for when the weather is nice. They don't offer the Caribbean fish dishes but do offer the chicken dishes that you expect and also offer a special of the day so be sure to ask about the special. We tried a variety of things and everything was good and chicken dishes were cooked to perfection with perfect falling off the bone chicken (brown stew chicken & jerk chicken) Portions were large too. The special today was macaroni and cheese. The pasta was soft but it was cheesier than from most places.Ms Martha was cooking and her helper were both friendly and helpful!"

Cool Vybz Jamaican Restaurant

★★★★☆ 3.5 (88) • $$

"One of the best places, next to Ms Martha's, for oxtails. Flavorful and fall off the bone with a nice gravy for your white rice and cabbage. Downside was the cabbage but the oxtails were so good I'll forgive them."

"WORTH THE WAIT!!!!!! let me tell you I have never tried Jamaican food until I ordered from here. Did they take a while yes but let me tell you everything was fresh, cooked to order, and tasted amazing!!! Do yourself a favor and try this place. I bet you will be glad you waited because the food is soooo good. The pasta was by far one of my favorite sides. The meat was cooked perfectly and so full of flavor. The plantains, rice and beans, the oxtail oh my goodness I can eat that all day!!! The brown stew man I can't find anything wrong with this place. Highly recommend it. It is located inside the highland food hub."

Island Boyz Jerk Spot

★★★★☆ 4.2 (19)

"Yes, this is a food truck. I was aware they would be in Tempe when we were there, so we made a point of stopping for lunch after an appointment.I, of course, ordered the jerk chicken. After all, you have to try their namesake. It was very tasty. I liked it. It was just a bit pricey, but the quantity was reasonable. My wife and I were able to share a single order. The food tasted fresh.I would patronize them again."
