    Food

    The food was so good and the staff was nothing but friendly 100% made you feel at home the portion sizes are freaking insane there's just so much food you get on each plate would recommend to anyone that wants to try something different

    Crab salad
    Andrea B.

    Very friendly people! Very clean place! Menu has variety however, the jerk chicken just tasted like smoked chicken. The oxtails were very tender but ok to taste. The crab salad was good. I'm not saying don't try this establishment, it was not what I was looking for.

    Saturday Special: Ackee and Saltfish
    Kayla L.

    AMAZING! Ackee & Saltfish @ @the.jamaicanspot in Leadville, LA First time trying this savory dish and thank goodness we came across this spot out here in Louisiana! Authentic, traditional, and delicious! The ackee and saltfish is incredibly savory, while the boiled yams, dumplings, and cooked bananas compliment the dish so well. Traditionally served on Saturday, this was a different Caribbean dish that was a delight to try :)

    Jerk chicken plate
    James L.

    This is definitely a hole in the wall with a Jamaican vibe to it. Nice laid back spot with Reggae music playing ( low volume) . I called and placed a to go order about 10 minutes before I arrived. My order ( jerk chicken plate? was ready about 2 minutes after I arrived and it was piping hot and smelled delicious. I paid for my food and took it to go. It was smelling so go I decided to eat some while sitting in the parking lot. I wasn't disappointed it tasted great. I wanted to keep eating but I had to get home. Definitely not disappointed and I'd eat here again in a heartbeat. I ate 3 really good meals on this one plate lunch.

    Absolutely loved this place! The food was fresh and delicious! We had the sampler in order to give pretty much everything a try. There was nothing that we didn't eat - and my husband is a picky eater! This was more than we could eat at once. The staff was super friendly. Definitely going back and recommend this place! A hidden gem!

    By far the best Jamaican food I've ever had. Even more surprising to find such a gem in small-town Louisiana.

Upon being seated, guests are presented with a simple yet genuinely authentic menu. The flavors remain consistently exceptional, a quality I believe is essential for any restaurant hoping to thrive in Alexandria. Caro's is far from the typical, run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant where meals are hastily assembled from a hot line and served with an inflated price tag. Instead, each dish reflects care, authenticity, and craftsmanship. Complementing the cuisine, the staff and atmosphere provide an added layer of warmth and charm. The establishment also features a small shop offering imported goods, further enhancing the overall experience. I strive for honesty and objectivity in my reviews, and I rarely award a full five stars. However, Caro's is an exception. This assessment is not based on a handful of visits but on years of consistently outstanding dining experiences. If I were to choose a single word to describe Caro's, it would be authentic. This restaurant exemplifies what true, heartfelt Mexican cuisine should be.
