Trust me when I say that anything on their menu is delicious. We tried the wings, Oxtail, patties and J*** plate. We ate the patties in the parking lot then drove home. Absolutely delicious.

Food was okay. Chicken was lightly seasoned with little to no taste. Forgot my salad in my order, instead ended up with a piece of lettuce.

Wow!!! So glad that we finally had the chance to taste One Love Island Cuisine and the food did not disappoint. I ordered their j*** chicken plate (of course ), and combo plate with the curry chicken and oxtail. Also chose the mango/potato salad and double plantain as my sides. Portions were huge and everything was delicious! My favorite would be the oxtail, so soft and flavorful. Can't wait to come back and try more of their dishes. Highly recommend!!

The owners are so nice. The food is great! I enjoy their veggie Ital and Akeem and salt fish. Oh yeah, the veggie patties are good, too!

This is one of our top spots at work to order from for lunch when at work. I always go with the J*** Chicken plate and get a side of the mango salad they have. Never had another co worker complain about there order. Only thing I would change is the size of the bbq size cup they give when they give out the extra sauce lol.

most tender, flavorful chicken i ever had! absolutely bussin plantains the rice the price
One Love Island is a hidden foodie gem! It's one-of- a-kind in North County San Diego. This place is jumping with irie vibes. I've been going there whenever I'm in the mood for some delicious Jamaican food and finally finally I had a chance to write a well-deserved 5 stars review...my apologies to the owner for my delay. I always have a positive experience: like the chef's culinary skills are on point with all the authentic dishes; staff is genuinely friendly and helpful; and the Reggae music videos make you wanna dance while you wait for your order. I literally feel I'm on a Caribbean Island when I step inside. It's Black Owned and have Black Staff. Please support this small business whenever you're in the College Area in Oceanside.

Wow! This place is so delicious. The oxtail was very tender and seasoned. I've never had Jamaican oxtail before so I can't compare it to another place but it was definitely very good. The oxtail is layered on a pile of dirty rice which seems to be some kind of fried rice with beans. The rice was sooo good and complimented the oxtail very well. The potato salad was very creamy and the potatoes were easy to eat. I know some potato salads have potatoes that aren't boiled enough so they're kinda nasty but the potato salad here is definitely creamy and the right amount of sweetness. The plantains were soft and sweet. I think they complimented the savory flavors of the oxtail and the creamy flavors of the potato salad well. Their hot sauce is also definitely spicy. I only used a little bit. I would definitely recommend this place.

This spot is so good! Totally somewhere I may have overlooked, but a good friend took me and I am so happy she did! It's tucked away in a shopping center where there is ample parking. It seems like they may have offered indoor seating at some point, but now they only have a few tables outside. You order at the counter and then they bring the food out. I ordered the 2 item Combo Sampler with J*** Chicken and the Coconut Curry chicken- so good. It came with rice and I choose salad and potato salad. The chicken is so flavorful and good. The J*** Chicken was a little spicy, but really tasty. The potato salad will probably get passed next time, as I'm pretty sure it is not made in store, but I could be wrong. The service was great, everyone was friendly and seemed to care about the food and service they give. Will definitely be back when I'm in the area.

I give this place 4 stars solid. The food is good, but in small portions. I like to eat ok! Just think of Panda Express and how expensive one meal is. But also think of how they load of the plate. One Hawaiian does the same. Even soul food places load you up. But not One Love. So where is the love? Because I wanna eat. Lol the beef Pattie's are so good by the way. The Ox tails are juicy. But again, I want my plate loaded up please. I don't mind spending a few more dollars for a full plate.
