Unfortunately I was introduced to Caribbean food far too late in life. Caribbean and island food is a gem of this world. The spices they use, the preparation that goes into the food, the combinations of flavors, you would be hard pressed to find better Caribbean than Esther's. They're less than 10 minutes from my house so I'm in there 1-2 times a month. They have all your favorites like jerk chicken, oxtail stew, curried goat, and of course beef patties. If you're a vegetarian they can accommodate you as well. If you're ever in the Glendale arae stop by!
