“My favorite Caribbean restaurant in the area“

“I usually go early morning so its not too crowded, love the pastelitos, I think these are my favorites from the whole array of restaurants on my way to the train station lol also love the pupusas revueltas (the salsita roja needs a lil work tho), also they had taquitos -similar to Mexican flautas, which were reaaally good!
The girls are super nice and attentive -you can see them working hard making pupusas right in front of you- and this place is always clean (including the restroom)“

“I love this place.... they are very friendly & the food is delicious.“

“I had lunch at Caribbean Café while on jury duty next door. I ordered the pollo guisado with white rice and kidney beans. The food was excellent—very flavorful and cooked perfectly. The portion was generous and everything tasted fresh and authentic. If you're looking for a great casual spot for Caribbean food, this place is definitely worth checking out.“

“Their jerk turkey wings are the absolute best.“

“The jerk chicken platter is the best. I've tried many different spots in DC/MD and NJ, but Cool Runnin's jerk chicken is top. The location right on Easton ave is tough to find parking and I wish they were on doordash or one of the other delivery services.“

“Food is amazing.
Between the oxtail and the jerk chicken, it’s really good.
The oxtail was a bit on the warmer side. I like my food hot/fresh.
Also, prices online are different than actual prices.
I ordered a large online and got a small. I was told $ 17 gets you a small, and a large is $ 21 +. Well, that to me doesn’t make sense because it only all ordering platforms as such. They explanation was “I have to speak to them,” and to “pick up a beef patty to make up the difference.” And then I was told $ 17 gets you a small, and a large is $ 21 +.
They put wine in the sorrel, and I appreciated the brother for letting me know because I don’t consume alcohol.
And when I got the beet juice instead, the bill went from $ 25 pre-tax to $ 34 after tax.
I get it, it’s a home-made kitchen quality but need to be better with how they present the prices.“

“Love the vibes and the music is great.“

“Acho que não estamos falando da mesma.Meson Tropical!! Essa ficava em Vila Isabel no Rio.de Janeiro !! e já fechou !Era uma casa de festas !! mto bonita !!“
