Island Taste Caribbean Grill

This is the best Jamaican food in San Jose and it’s not even close. If you want island vibes and flavors then this is your spot. It’s located right across from city hall. You can get here by walking, train or bus. In the past I have had the jerk tacos which are very fresh and flavorful. Today I ate Rasta pasta, oxtail and cabbage with lemonade. Lemonade was very sweet and reminded me of home. The pasta was cooked perfectly with a creamy sauce along with red and green peppers. It could stand alone as a meal. The plantain was a little tough but the flavors still came out. The oxtail deserves its own paragraph. OMG… ???? I feel like taking a good nap afterwards. It’s seasoning, texture and taste made me feel like I was Stella getting my groove back. Food comes with high quality to-go containers so you can share the joy with your family when you get home. ???? Parking 1/5 Customer Service 5/5 Return value 5/5 Price 4/5 Quality 5/5

I've been living in San Jose for over 7 years and have been looking for authentic Jamaican food. I visited Island Taste and it exceeded my expectations; the meals are so rich, authentic and flavorful! My favorite meal is the curry goat, the meat is so tender. Island taste has such a welcoming vibe, with decor and music celebrating the Jamaican culture and the service is unmatched. Thank you, Island Taste!

It was my first time stepping foot into this fine establishment. The service was professional and welcoming. Although I just wanted to get a glimpse of what the restaurant had to offer, I walk out with a memorable taste in my mouth....the food was fresh and well seasoned and I can't wait to go back.... If you are looking for quality authentic Jamaican cuisine. I highly recommend checking this place out.....
