50 Best Caribbean Restaurants near Opa Locka

“had the chance to try Ross Bahamian Conch Shack at a recent health fair, and they definitely delivered on flavor. Here's what stood out:
Wings & Fries:
The wings had a solid Southern-style base with a Caribbean flavor twist — well-seasoned, juicy, and crispy without being greasy. The fries were golden and crisp, a perfect side that held up well even outside a traditional restaurant setting.
Conch Salad:
I also tried the conch salad, and it was fresh and tasty with a good mix of citrus and texture. The only thing it needed was a bit more spice or heat to really bring it to life — a dash of pepper or hot sauce would’ve taken it to the next level.“

“Pull up Eat Good & Caribbean vibe“

“Very good food nice service Iam recommending this restaurant“

“My experience at Las' Lap was excellent from beginning to end! The decor and ambiance of the restaurant was beautiful. The service by the wait staff was top notch. They were knowledgeable about every item on the menu, made great recommendations and were attentive throughout our dining experience. The food was amazing, perfectly seasoned and beautifully presented. I loved the concept of ordering multiple shareable dishes for the table and them being brought out throughout the night as more of a tasting menu.“

“La atencion y el ambience agradable“

The menu is a delightful exploration of Latin cuisine, offering a variety of dishes that burst with authentic taste and quality ingredients.“

“My husband and I eat at this Haitian restaurant whenever we’re in town visiting family, and they never disappoint. The food is always fresh, well-seasoned, and full of real Haitian flavor. From the fried turkey to the rice and beans and the sides, you can tell everything is cooked with care and love, not just thrown together.

What really keeps us coming back is the way they treat us. The staff is always warm, welcoming, and respectful. They make sure we’re comfortable, check on us, and treat us like regulars every single time, even when it’s busy. The service matches the quality of the food, excellent.

The atmosphere is clean, relaxed, and feels like a true Haitian home, with good vibes, good music, and good people.

Whenever we’re in town, this is our go-to spot. If you’re looking for authentic Haitian food with great service, I highly recommend this place.“

“It was my first time eating at Golden Krust today Sept 9th, Lecia and Patricia made sure of making me feel welcomed and well fed. 10/10 Lunch meal (brown stew chicken) to continue the day strong! Will definitely become a repeat customer from now and can't wait to try other items on the menu!“

“Very nice place - good ambiance and great food - does not disappoint. Yen, our server was fantastic - explained all the plates and was very accommodating — service was excellent. Menu is extensive lots to choose from - fusion of Venezuela dishes and Caribbean. The meat is very very good - well cooked with a “Smokey” taste. Recommended for a good meal with family and friends. HH offers great deals in bites and 1/2 price in all drinks !“

“Oh my goodness I am sooooooo happy that I finally tried Lik’s! This is the BEST Jamaican food that I’ve ever had in my 32 years on this planet! The owners are so incredibly friendly and make you feel welcomed the moment you walk in 😊 I got the brown stew chicken and it was phenomenal! 😋 I can’t wait to go back and try everything on the menu! I HIGHLY recommend giving Lik’s a try! You will be happy you did 😃 and so will your belly!“

“Best Cuban food in South Beach hands down. Get the ox tail and paella“

“I tried these plantain cups, and they were incredibly delicious! They offer a variety of flavors, including legumes, jacked chicken, and jacked jackfruit. The mango sauce is a standout feature, adding a delightful twist to the taste. I also tried the falafel and hummus, which were served with fried plantain chips. While the hummus was okay, the falafel was decent.“

“Golden Crust has the absolute best curry chicken not to mention their oxtail is great and it's very authentic tasting in my all-around favorite has to be rice in peace with jerk chicken they're jerk chicken absolutely falls off the bone. The employees are very nice the cooks must be great cuz the food is always good I haven't been there one time in the food not been good and I've been there multiple times at least over 30 times I hope this review helps you make the right choice because if you go to Golden Krust Caribbean restaurant I guarantee you you made the right choice even though it's kind of commercial I know real Jamaican food and it's real Jamaican food. I don't remember if they serve wine there or beer but you don't need it cuz the atmosphere is such a vibe I love it honestly I've been there three times this week oh and don't get me started on their panties date are so full of delicious meat no Diddy and the crust is very flaky. So if you get a chance stop by Golden Krust and do yourself a favor.“

“Best doubles i’ve EVER! had. Thanks Kathy.“

“The food is terrible and a complete rip-off—definitely poor quality. Anyone giving this place 4 stars is either intoxicated or has never tasted good food. The Lo Mein is mushy, tasteless, and made me want to throw up. The fried rice is soggy, overly salty, and has no flavor. Absolutely disgusting.“

“The food is really good! Omg! The conch is so fresh! The cabbage is very tasty….. Everything was delicious!“

“The food at El Metropol Miami was out of this world. We’ve gone to the Puerto Rico locations and this one is at par or even better. This will be our new first stop when returning to Miami. Perfect blend of Cuban and Puerto Rican culture just like our family. Service was so friendly and professional, felt like you were talking to an old friend. Our server Katrina made us feel welcomed and created an instant connection. Arroz mamposteao and tostones de pana were the highlight of our meal.“

“Gave this place a try and definitely was not disappointed. The food was beyond amazing and the employees were extremely nice. We were traveling from Boston and were looking for some authentic food. Ended up going to eat there twice during our stay. Will definitely go back when we return to Miami.“

“What a wonderful clean and friendly place to come when I’m in town! I asked the cashier can I try a sample of the rice and beans and the djion djion rice and the owner brought it out from the back and both of them were absolutely delicious! She even let me know that I can do half-and-half if I would like. I definitely recommend this place for all your Haitian food needs! I would definitely give them a 10 stars if I could!!“

“So living farrrr away in Seattle you know I just couldn't wait to get here. The Rice Pudding (Black pudding) is what I was craving for. And as usual, they did not disappoint! Also, while there, I heard this lady ordering saltfish with bread. Say What??!! A saltfish sandwich on butter bread?! Happy wasn't even the emotion I was feeling. Everything I've had from here has been tasty. The prices are also reasonable ?“

“Great food great entertainment“

“Absolutely incredible!!!!
how can they afford this.,
The food is cooked fresh and put out there and you have a menu selection of different Rices and meats and vegetables a plate that's less than $6 I don't know how they do it... And it taste great... You will get a choice of rice a meat and a side of vegetable and a drink for less than $6..... And large portions BTW...
Typically when I order there I can split my plate for noon and afternoon meals... Again.... This is $6!!!!!!“

“Damn that’s good!!!! After my first bite I sat in shock for a moment and then I couldn’t put my fork down! This is some of the best Jamaican food I’ve had in a long time! I loved it! I love the freshness and the concept of bowls and the brand! It was phenomenal. May this business continue to flourish and bless all of our bellys for many many years to come! 🩷“

A good spot to visit, the service was good and the staff are very friendly. The place was very clean. Though i went for a birthday party. There was a gentleman offering chicken soup. My experience was great... Awesome spot to stop by“

“Oh wow!!! When I say this place is all that....it's all that! The Tropical Conch Salad OMG. Seasoning on point. I will be back again and again. Customer service...on point.“

“If you’re from NY and want good food out here this is the place you wanna be at. The food was cooked to order, tasted absolutely outstanding. The woman behind the counter Darcel, was great for recommending if you’re indecisive.. can’t wait to come back before I leave to go back home“
