Cariblue has been my go-to lunch spot for the past three years. The owner is incredibly friendly, cares about his customers, and knows his food well. The sauces really pack a lot of flavor, and the meat is always tender. The jerk sauce can be a bit spicy, so would recommend asking about the sauces first, but definitely worth trying the jerk sauce at least once. Absolutely delicious all around!
Best Jerk Chicken and Goat in the Bay Area, the owner is very genuine and hope his mum's amazing recipes keep going on forever because they are really the best!!!
Abel was super friendly and helpful! The food was delicious and the portions were huge! Great intro to Caribbean food!

Delicious tender flavorful jerk chicken. The wing and breast were moist and cooked perfectly. The plantains are super tasty and the red beans and rice are incredible. I am so grateful that this Caribbean gem is in redwood city we really got lucky. You have to try the pineapple upside-down cake it is a terrific treat. AND they have awesome vegan options!! The tofu and polenta were crispy and fantastic. My dad is struggling to resist his carnivore instincts but this scrumptious combination made it easy for him to stay true to his new plant based diet. 10/10 You’re missing out if you don’t try this place.
My oxtails were burnt....they weren't blackened or jerked they were burnt. My price and peas tasted like mush. A disgustingly side order of mush. The chicken was so over cooked that it was chewy in the worse way and I thought plantain chips were hard. These overly cooked or overly ripe bananas are just that with some jam on them. This was a waste all the way around.

Great food at reasonable prices! Great staff and quaint accommodations. Give it a try!
Vegetarians! Get some flavor here!Waiting on my car at America’s Tire in RWC and took a stroll around the block. Walked past Cariblue around lunch-time. Smelled really yummy but I was still working off my breakfast.Original estimate had my car finished in about an hour so on my second pass, I stopped to check out menu.Caribbean flavors with all sorts of protein options.I am a flexitarian but was so excited to see they had vegetarian entrees.I ordered the Curry Tofu & Jerk Polenta combo and one Pineapple Upside-down Cake, to-go.Brought it home and tasted a few bites!The sauce on Curry Tofu was yummy mild curry flavor, however I wished the cubes were a tad smaller for more flavorful surface-area ratio.Jerk Polenta, a bit spicy but so, so delicious. I would make a special trip just for this part of the dish. Crispy corners and soft middle of every wedge made it toothsome and hearty.Combo comes with sides.The mixed veggies underneath tofu and polenta were a bit salty. The Rice and Beans were a little dry but definitely had layers of flavor.Plantains were slightly sweet and a perfect-sized treat.
Vegetarian options: Jerk Polenta is worth a special trip. Yummmm.

Phenomenal food and customer service. This was my first time trying Jamaican food, and I am blown away by the uniqueness of the flavors, the combination of spices in the rice and the meat is nothing I’ve ever tried before. The owner is the chef behind all meals made from scratch. This is definitely our new weekly spot!
Best jerk chicken in California for sure, owner was really friendly and helped us try out the sauces. Definitely would recommend to everyone! Also had the oxtail which was delicious.
