Taste Of The Caribbean Utah — Restaurant in Millcreek

Imagine: you are on an island, chilling by the beach, sipping on a pineapple ginger flavored juice and watching the waves crash and retreat. A friend is to your left roasting meats over a smoky fire. It smells sweet and earthy.

That is exactly the type of experience you will get if you eat the food here!

I wasn't super impressed with the slaw or potato salad, but they were still good and enjoyable!

However, the fall of the bone jerk chicken was like nothing else! You don't even need a knife! Just touch it with a fork, and watch it fall apart in its own tenderness! And the flavor! Mind-blowing! While yes, it could have been spicier, it had the perfect combination and balance of sweet and earthy.

And the rice & peas... I was not prepared! Usually, rice served at restaurants is ok at best, but clearly not from the Caribbean! There were so many subtle flavors in the rice from the coconut milk, I was again blown away! If there was a best rice in SLC award, Taste of Caribbean should get it!

The plantains were solid and a nice touch to the meal.

The price for a full plate, pineapple ginger juice, and the tip was nearly $30. That is a pretty high price, but it was 100% worth it!

Congrats! You made it to the end! GO TASTE...

I am SPEECHLESS!! This is one of the best plates of food I have ever had in my entire life!! I am absolutely mind blown after having the oxtail plate. It was the most tender and flavorful meat, the rice was incredibly seasoned, the slaw and potato salad were exquisite compliments to it all. This place lived up to and beyond it's name, a true and fantastic taste of the caribbean!! The sweet woman behind the counter even made sure that my food stayed nice and hot for when I came to pick it up. I will be taking everyone I know there to have this experience. I want everyone to be as addicted as I am. Thank you, thank you!! Update: Another banger, returned last night to grab some more delicious grub from my favorites and I was not disappointed. Got the jerk chicken and the curry chicken along with all of the fixings and loved every bite. My partner was blown away by the amazing flavors.. the owner was so sweet, he was out of oxtail (which was my first choice) but he offered to put oxtail gravy on the jersey chicken for me which was chef's kiss💯 Thank you all for what you do, I promise to keep sending people your way! By the way, the house pineapple ginger juice was so flavorful, absolutely on point...

I wasn’t particularly impressed with my experience. While the oxtails were large, each plate only came with two pieces and there was no extra gravy provided. The cabbage tasted more like a sweet coleslaw rather than traditional cabbage. My lemonade was refreshing at first, but the strong hint of ginger was unexpected, as lemonade typically doesn’t contain ginger. Unfortunately, my husband is allergic to ginger, and we had to take him to the hospital after just a small sip. Please be cautious if you have allergies. On a positive note, the rice and peas were good, the flavor of the oxtail was decent, and the plantains...
