23 Best Caribbean Restaurants in Los Angeles

“Their delicious and exquisite spread was catered to an event, and we could not be more pleased! The oxtail patty and goat roti wraps were superb. The patties/empanadas have their fillings stamped on them, which is a cute and smart idea! (We had seafood, chicken, and oxtail) Their cucumber salad was fresh and flavorful. Unfortunately, I got so full that I didn't get the chance to try everything else. My vegetarian friend said their roti was really good!

To top it all off, this is a black and queer owned business. Be careful if you go because everything was so good that I wanted to slap my mama. See what amazing things our community can do when we support each other?!“

“Today I discovered the curry shrimp. It was awesome! It might be my new favorite! My husband enjoyed the Curry Goat. We also got some patties for later. We had enough on our plates to have leftovers! That means we will get to enjoy our food again.“

“Incredible selection, kindest people ever. Delicious and fast. All the chairs are full.

I never write reviews. I haven't had Caribbean in over a year, and the owner made me feel so at home.
Authentic and delicious, will be coming back. Part of my regular rotation. Goto spot“

“You see the pictures bro put up with the empty plate. Yep that pretty much sums up the food right there. I had pictures, but then I started crying cause they looked so good and dropped my phone and accidentally deleted them off my phone. But yea, definitely recommend the Belizian tamale, yes it has the full bone iykyk 🍗“

“Simply Wholesome is the absolute best. Healthy food. Healthy drinks. Healthy products. AND they are black owned. I love love love love this place. I have absolutely no complaints. On a scale of 1-10. Definitely 100. Yes one hundred. I visit everytime I'm in LA.“

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Joan & Sisters | Belizean & American Food is a hidden gem that delivers incredible flavor and a truly unique dining experience. The Belizean dishes are rich, authentic, and full of depth, while the American options are just as satisfying and well-prepared.

Every dish tasted fresh and homemade, with generous portions and great attention to seasoning. You can really tell the food is made with care and tradition behind it.

The staff was warm, welcoming, and made the experience feel personal and comfortable. If you’re looking for something different from the usual fast-casual spots, this place is absolutely worth a visit. Highly recommended.“

“This was my first time at Tev's and I will make it my regular spot. The food was delicious. I had the chicken wings, mac and cheese, the garlic mash potatoes and cabbage, I also got the ribeye strips plus you get a free drink. The portions are generous, you can't beat the price. It was my Juneteen Day treat, I ordered online which was very easy.“

“One of my favorite restaurants authentic Latin cuisine. I have been coming here for over 30 years and was so sad when it closed down during the pandemic. So glad it reopened! Can’t wait 😜 to go back. I give it 5 stars for sure!“

“I ordered the garlic chicken and oxtails and let me say it was finger licking good!! 🔥 The portions were a great size and even had some food left over to take home. Great customer service and friendly staff. It was my first time but I will definitely be back.“

“It’s sooooooooooooo good!“

“The oxtail is the best thing on the menu! Really cool vibe too. Mojo took great care of us!“

“It was a really good experience 👍👍. Good Cuban 🇨🇺 food“

“Her food is the best. I love her oxtails. I love her tacos and panadas. They are very delicious and I get them every time and onion sauce is amazing extra me please!!! She is a very pleasant lady!

Parking: It’s a medium size parking lot it’s never crowded“

“It’s real deal jerk chicken! Perfectly marinated, seasoned and grilled Smokey flavor; crisp skin, tender and juicy. Escovich fish was also authentic: a whole fish freshly fried with tangy and spicy vinegar, onion and scotch bonnet sauce. The oxtails were a miss for me; a bit on the sweet side.“

“You would never know from the outside how amazing the food is on the inside. Let me tell you something Stop by this place If you like flavor. It's amazing very good portions. Homemade fresh pepper sauce. I recommend this place a thousand percent! It's the true hole in the wall that you find that you're like oh my God I will always go back there's long cuz I pass by.“

“Great customer service First time I tried it suggested by my brother from LA!“

“Excellent food at this small, stand-alone Belizean/Caribbean hybrid, colorfully painted and sitting at the corner of a South L.A. street corner. I ordered the fish fry (with red snapper), with the mac 'n cheese and an order of fry jack. I also ordered a side of oxtail, and a couple of Belizean panades. Everything was delicious!! No doubt, the cooks know what they're doing here. The fish was well-seasoned and perfectly fried. It went well with the piping hot fry jack. And, the mac 'n cheese was unusually tasty. Penne pasta was substituted for the conventional elbow macaroni, and the cheese sauce--while slightly on the thin side--was incredibly delicious! The oxtail was very rich and tasty, as well, fork tender and extremely flavorful. And, finally, I loved the panades. They resembled long and thin empanadas, and they were stuffed with flaky fish, and served with a side of pickled onions. So good! And, this restaurant is women-owned (and run), and is also a family affair--consisting of mother, daughter and even cousins running around in the back. I believe in supporting businesses like this--women-owned and hardworking, kind people serving their community with affordable prices and supremely delicious food!“

“Ever bring on the menu was awesome!! This isn’t just a restaurant they are also connected to a Jamaican store as well that has all of our Jamaican favorites!! This by far is the best we have had!“

“Best Jerk Chicken in the world!!!“

“Excellent Tamales. We ordered 9 dz, including the Snow Crab and Nica special orders. Everyone was enthused with the flavors. The beans, rice and 2 salsas complimented well. All of my previous take out orders were equally delicious. Many of our guests are tamale fans. TAMARA WAS OUTSTANDING...“

“I went here for my birthday dinner with friends. I’m late on the review but the food, drinks, and service were top tier. This place is on my list to go back to. Everything was freshly prepared with great portions. We all took food home! They definitely didn’t let me down on my special day!!!“
