What Chelsea Revel likes about Downtown Caribbean Eats:
The owner and Eric are friendly and awesome. I've been here 3 times and the food is truly so delicious! My first dish was the saltfish with cabbage and Good God was it amazing! Today I ordered twice because even the vegetables alone are so good!!Vegetarian options: The vegetarian options are so delicious. My favorites are the cabbage and sauteed vegetables!Dietary restrictions: I'm gluten and dairy intolerant but the... View all feedback. What Mo B doesn't like about Downtown Caribbean Eats:
Bought a small Oxtail with rice and peas, cabbage and plaintains. This is the most bland oxtails I've ever had in life this far. No taste whatsoever. A heavy emphasis on NO TASTE!Cabbage was soggy and tasteless. The only thing decent in this 20 dollar plate was the plaintains. Oxtail is very expensive as it is. Please hire a chef that is actually from the carribean to cook it. View all feedback.

I decided to go with the basics, since this is my first time trying a new Caribbean spot. The salmon patty was OK. It was season right and juicy. Veggie patty.....

The dish was overly salty, and the patty had a strange texture that reminded me of dog food. I did not enjoy it at all.

Absolutely terrible. I could have done a better job myself. Please, just stop cooking.
