    Mofongo with pork
    Cristy R.

    Drove from NoVa to this little place based on Google reviews and boy are we glad we did. We were greeted warmly, the waitress explained the dishes expertly and when the food came out? WOW. The presentation was amazing to match the flavor of the meal. My daughter got the mofongo with pork, her boyfriend got the shrimp tacos, I got the ropa vieja with salad and tostones, my son got the lomo saltado. We loved how they had a mix of foods from El Salvador, Cuba, Peru, and Puerto Rico. Everything was obviously made to order, served fresh and hot. We loved La Tembuleña and look forward to returning!

    Chef Pat, where do I start. I have not been to the Caribbean as yet, but all I want to say is you…read morehave truly blown me away. After a very long hike in the morning, the wife and I decided to pick up something for lunch. And while looking for something new in the area, the wife decided to give this place a shot. We stopped by the place which is tucked in between some other warehouse stores, in the corner, not on the main road. We decided to order our food and Chef Pat was so kind and professional, he stopped by our car in the parking lot as we were struggling to find the place. The food we ordered is in the pictures, jerk chicken, Ackee & Saltfish, Mango Rum Cake, conch fritters, plantains and some beans and rice. We were running late, so the chef said they will deliver the food to our place. When the food was delivered to us, there was some miscommunication between what was ordered vs. delivered. However, when we called them, they apologized for the mistake and took care of it right away. After all this, I was, tbh, a little upset. And we sat down to open our delivery boxes since we were super hungry. As the lids opened, the aroma of the food filled the area. My frown turned into a smile right away. Now, I was getting excited to try the food, everything was packed very nicely for delivery, & was still nice and warm. Once we started tasting the dishes, I was floored. I have to say, by far, very very far, this is the best Caribbean food I have had in the US, thus far. The jerk chicken is cooked to perfection, I believe the chef mentioned they make it fresh everyday. The plantains were just so amazing, caramelized to perfection. The conch fritters were a perfect accompaniment with a sweet and spicy sauce. What truly left me speechless was the ackee and Saltfish, I cannot even begin to describe how good that dish was. I am a fan of Caribbean food now, if it's this good! To finish off, we split the Mango Rum Cake, where all we kept saying, after every bite was "yummm", as we kept closing our eyes to experience that perfect finishing touch to our meal. The food was cooked with a lot of skill, care and tons of love. The staff is coming up to speed and being trained, but the attitude of the chef is super professional and customer care oriented. A Hell Yeah 5 Star Review! Will keep going here, for sure. Wish you much success...!!!

    The best Jamaican food we've had in the US, hands down. The food we ordered was so good, it made us…read morewant to book a trip to Jamaica right away! Island Food To Go is an operation ran by Chef Pat, and you can really taste the authenticity in his food. You pre-order via calling the number or directly texting the number that is provided and then you can pick up the food curb-side, or you can have it delivered to your home. The jerk chicken was mind-blowingly good; the jerk marinade was so well-balanced and it had just the right amount of heat for my taste. The salt-fish and ackee dish was so delicious! Combine that with the red beans and rice and you have a comforting and delicious meal that is soul-satisfying. With each entree you have a choice of either white rice, yellow rice or red beans and rice. The mango rum cake we ordered was moist, buttery and perfectly baked. I can't wait to order their caribbean spice cake next time. There was a massive mix-up in terms of what was charged and what was actually delivered when the delivery driver delivered our food, but the business owner was quick to rectify the driver's mistake. They are still fairly new and fine-tuning their logistics, but with their level of professionalism and superior quality of food, I see this place becoming a big success. Can't wait to order my next meal from them!

    It's really frustrating trying to reach Delicias del Caribe. They never seem to answer the phone,…read moreand there's no voicemail or message to let you know if they're closed or when they'll reopen. It makes it hard to plan an order or visit. I hope they improve their communication, because good customer service starts with being reachable.

    I ordered their pork bellies with yuka fries and sweet fried plantains. I also ordered flan,…read morebecause I love it. It came with a sauce, a mixture of mayo and ketchup. I think most people would like this. I did not. But I hate ketchup. I'm not a good person to judge it. The pork bellies were good. They had a lot of meat on them. More so than other pork bellies that I have had at several other restaurants. They were very tasty but a little tough. I think a little marinating could resolve that. They had a wonderful crisp to them. The yuka fries were fantastic! Super crunchy on the outside and super soft and delicious on the inside. Yuka makes the best fries. The plantains were ok. Normally, ripe plantains are sweet and soft. These were not as sweet as they normally and were a bit too firm. The flan was great. It had a lovely silky texture and had a wonderful caramel flavor. I would definitely come here again. I would recommend anyone try it.
