This is not the worse Caribbean place I've been too but definitely not the best. Located on a small business plaza with only 6 spots this place was tucked away in the back. We weren't sure if we had arrived because here was no visible sign with the business name on it. We eventually found it at the very end of the lot with colored posters in the window reading Caribeana. Most of the business did the same so I walked on in.
The place was empty as it was 8 pm and they closed at 9. The location doesn't help either but we say down to order. I ordered an appetizer of fries dumplings and fries plantains...the plantains were amazing tasting like sweet buttery goodness with a slight crispness. The dumplings were not what I was expecting. It was only fried bread with nothing special on the inside but more bread. I guess I assumed Chinese dumplings would be something similar to theirs but I guess not.
We ordered the jerk chicken and brown stew chicken that comes with cabbage as well as rice and beans. Our appeitzers took about 40 minutes to get to our table and the main entree didn't come until 20 minutes after that. I almost considered leaving but I really wanted to see if the food would be with the wait. Unfortunately it wasn't. Rice and beans were nothing special lacking flavor along with the cabbage. I wanted more of the sides before I ordered but they did not have enough.
Maybe it was because it was late and we were there last customers but I think if people show up an hour before closing than service shouldn't take an hour. My main course is not worth taking about. Although the BBQ sauce for the jerk chicken was good the brown stew didn't taste like it had enough spices.
I'm willing to try this spot again only because I'm a huge fan of Caribbean food and it's super close to my house. Hopefully it won't disappoint as much next time.
