    curry chicken w/veggies & rice
    Bri D.

    i've been itching to try some authentic jamaican food ever since my family and i moved out here, and this spot definitely fit the bill! my mother actually bought home food from here (for her and i) during this visit. i got the curry chicken with white rice and veggies, and it tasted pretty great. all it needed was a slight pinch of salt and maybe some hot sauce, but otherwise i loved the meal from start to finish. i can't say much about the service considering my mom got it from the food truck while i was at home, but you can definitely tell that the cooks put their heart and soul into their food. the portions here are HUGE and i still have enough leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

    Tried this for the first time yesterday. I got the oxtail platter. Was a little sad because I thought the platter came with plantains, festival and 2 other sides of your choice but it didn't :(. The oxtail was good though. Just beware that the sides won't include festival & plantain!

    Yes, this is a food truck. I was aware they would be in Tempe when we were there, so we made a point of stopping for lunch after an appointment. I, of course, ordered the jerk chicken. After all, you have to try their namesake. It was very tasty. I liked it. It was just a bit pricey, but the quantity was reasonable. My wife and I were able to share a single order. The food tasted fresh. I would patronize them again.

    Had the jerk chicken and jerk shrimp plate and both were very good. There are not many Jamaican food places near the Laveen area so whenever Island Boyz is in the area it is always a nice place to satisfy those Carribean cravings! Only downside is there is not a bigger variety of Jamaican food available. Being that they operate out of a food truck may very well be the case but maybe one day they can serve up some oxtails :)

    I have this app that helps me find food trucks around my area. This food truck caught my eye. I was looking at the menu one of the regulars told me that the Food is delicious & worth you're Money. I ordered the jerk chicken with rice & beans plus some steamed cabbage it was so delicious had so much flavor. They hook you up with rice & bean & steamed cabbage. I will be coming back to this food truck

    Caribbean Palm Scottsdale - Jerk shrimp plate (shrimp, rice & beans, plantains)

    A Hidden Gem Worth the Drive!…read more I had the most amazing chicken dinner at Caribbean Palms! The chicken was incredibly tender, juicy, and packed with flavor, with just the right amount of spice. The rice was absolutely delicious, and the plantains were cooked to perfection. What truly made the experience exceptional was the outstanding customer service. We interacted with three different staff members during our visit, and every single one was warm, welcoming, polite, and genuinely kind. You can tell they take pride in both their food and hospitality. I drove over 30 minutes from the other side of town to dine here, and it was worth every minute of the drive. There was a steady stream of customers picking up to-go orders, which speaks volumes about the quality of the food. While takeout is clearly popular, I highly recommend dining in and enjoying the full experience. This family-owned restaurant is a true hidden gem, and honestly, it serves the best Caribbean food I've ever had. I will absolutely be back and will be recommending Caribbean Palms to everyone I know!

    I recently visited Caribbean Palms and walked away with mixed feelings…read more First off, the service was great. The woman kept checking on me, and I actually liked that the cook brings out the food that's a nice personal touch you don't see everywhere. That said, the portions were underwhelming. I understand it leans more toward a dine-in experience, but the oxtail serving felt small. The presentation almost plays tricks on you it comes on a large plate with separate bowls for the sides, which makes it look like more than it actually is. On top of that, having to choose between cabbage or plantains felt a bit limiting for sides. The rice was a little dry and slightly hard for my taste, but I will say the plantains were really good sweet and done right. I couldn't help but compare it to another Caribbean spot I recently tried in Glendale, where the portions were generous and the oxtail was big, tender, and full of flavor. Here, the flavor was good, but it didn't stand out. I've definitely had better, so my expectations were a bit higher. Overall, it's not a bad spot it just feels pricey for what you get. I spent around $60 total: two cocktails at $15 each, plus the oxtail at market price (which can run $30-$40). The biggest plus is convenience it's close to home, so it's an easy option when I'm craving Jamaican food. But if I'm being honest... next time, I might still find myself making that drive back out to Glendale.
