Caribbean Latino Finger Licking Restaurant — Restaurant in Avenue District

We recently visited the Caribbean Latino Restaurant based on a friend's recommendation, making the trip all the way from Red Deer. Unfortunately, our experience fell far short of expectations due to unclear pricing and poor communication.

The menu advertised grillot and fried pork with sides for $19.99 and fish with sides for $24.99. However, when it came time to pay, we were charged $30 for the fish because we were told it was a "big fish," $20 for a small portion of grillot (without all the sides), and $15 for a small portion of fried pork (also without all the sides). Additionally, cola bottles listed at $3 on the menu were suddenly $4 because they were "larger," which we agreed to pay.

When we questioned the unexpected price increases, we were told that the menu prices would be updated soon. This approach to pricing is misleading and not a good way to build trust or encourage repeat business.

We were excited to try this restaurant, but the lack of transparency and value made it a disappointing experience. Sadly, we will not...

Real good hole-in-the-wall spot. I ordered the goat 3x3 dish, goat was very yummy. Tender and crispy in the right places, bones had marrow and little bones were brittle. Cooked well. The potato salad is a good texture, chunky and filling. If you have extra meat dipping sauce mix it with the rice it's very yummy. I don't like coleslaw usually but I tried the coleslaw here to get out of my comfort zone and I was very happy I did. It tasted good with mixed bites of red bean rice. Will try mushroom rice next time I come back. I see the Instagram ads for this spot occasionally, so happy I came here.

A bit expensive compared to Asian cuisine what I usually eat but worth the price, lots of work into the food and it's looks like a...

Best Haitian food I have ever had. My husband is Haitian, and we have been to restaurants in both Toronto and Montreal, and this is the best we have had! Portions were amazing and everything was so fresh. They were a very sweet family and you can tell the food is made with love. To everyone complaining about the price, I found it reasonable given the quality and portion. Do you complain at high end restaurants about an $80 steak? No. Support local businesses who are taking the time and dedication to share their culinary experiences with you. Merci Caribbean...
