Bold, homestyle Caribbean flavors with generous portions and standout oxtail, jerk, and Haitian griot; expect counter service, occasional inconsistency, and downtown parking hassles.
Island Taste Caribbean Grill delivers bold, authentic Caribbean flavors with standout oxtail and jerk dishes that justify its strong local following. However, inconsistent execution—ranging from tender meats to occasional dryness— and modest ambiance with functional rather than polished setting keep it from grade A territory. Fair pricing and generous portions appeal to families and repeat diners seeking genuine island cooking over refinement.
One caveat: Inconsistency occurs: some report dry chicken, watery pasta, or bones-heavy cuts
