went on 12/15/2025. the curry chicken was absolutely disgusting. no flavor/no salt, stingy with the sauce, and the rice was dry. it didn't even smell like curry, so i should have realized something was off. the reviews said it was the best which is why i went. i don't know if this was just an off day, but i will never go back. it was so bad that my night was ruined after i ate it and i had to go to chipotle for a new meal. this was a waste of $16 and ended up in the trash. do better!!!!!

I find food trucks pretty hit or miss and I’ll say that Caribbean Spice’s food truck was a total hit!! Yummy Jamaican patties at a good price with friendly service. I’m
not sure if it’s always there, but I enjoyed it while it was parked at First Mag brewery on a Saturday night.
Great local place!!!

Walked over here while my truck was being unloaded next door and it was worth it. I got the jerk chicken and it was melt off the bone tender with just the right amount of spices. I’d definitely come again and try the patties

OK, these folks just catered our son and a daughter-in-law‘s wedding this past weekend. The food was wonderful and very reasonably priced. Everyone is still talking about their Jamaican patties that were delicious. They couldn’t have been more kind and easy to work with. If you’re thinking of catering a large event, I would definitely give them a call.

A local favorite of mine, we got them to cater our wedding and it was a hit.
Employees went above and beyond and the food (as always) was great. My in-laws are Jamaican and it got all of their seals of approval.

Staff is not friendly, serves you over priced food that has been over cooked, tasted nothing like real Caribbean cuisine. I wouldn’t recommend eating here.

I wanted to try Caribbean Spice and sent my daughter to pick up some oxtails for us. While the beans, rice, and cabbage were good, the oxtails were disappointing. Most of the pieces were mostly fat or gristle, with very little actual meat. I don’t mind smaller or thinner cuts, but this just felt like a ripoff—$27 for a plate that’s essentially rice and beans with very little meat is hard to justify. I hope they improve the quality of their oxtails.

I came in today and ordered the corn bread and stew chicken. It was very delicious and Ill be back!
I purchased a patty and cocoa bread. For the price, I expected an actual sized patty and cocoa bread. Both were small in comparison to what it should be (about half the size) and the flavors are incredibly inauthentic. I should’ve expected this though because I have never seen my people eat here or in the reviews. Very disappointed. The customer service was good though.

We dined inside and the food was great, They gave us rice and beans which were amazing. As we left they gave us a spicy patty and regular patty to try. This place is hands the best. We will always go back. It’s was worth the drive from Lake City!!!

We ordered
1. Jerk Chicken with rice and Plantain
2. Patties with Beef
Everything was so good. But I would recommend making the fillings of Patties little bit drier/solid.
The rice tastes so good with the curry gravy. And the chicken is fantastic - highly recommended.
