11 Best Caribbean Restaurants near New Brunswick

“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.“

“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.“

“came across this little gem while working in the area. Did a handy little google search & came across Tierra Mia. I am glad I tried it. The restaurant itself is large enough, very clean looking and visually pleasing. The waitress was very sweet and was on top of her service, without hovering. The food though…oh my goodness! I ordered the Compańado, with the bistec encebollado (steak w/onions), which came with white rice, black beans, egg salad, sweet plantains & fried egg. I paid what I would consider pricey for a lunch portion ($20), but that is not a complaint considering the portion & variety the dish offered. The size was generous and the flavor was deliciously on point. I highly recommend Tierra Mia for anyone in the area or anyone looking for delicious Spanish food!“

“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)“

“Amazing all around, I felt like I was back in Jamaica off the resort eating like a local. From the beef patties and coco bread, to the jerk chicken meal, to the jerk wings, and to the festivals... everything was exploding with flavor and absolutely delicious!!! The owner, Newell, who came out from the back was extremely humble and very nice. Excellent customer service! Highly recommend!!!“
