The food came out fresh and hot--highlights included the delicious chicken quesadilla and the birria tacos. The chips tasted freshly made and paired perfectly with the guacamole. The restaurant itself was clean and well-kept. My only downside was the limited selection of non-alcoholic drinks, but everything else was excellent.

I have been waiting to try Paco's Tacos for quite some time. I love the Bread and Honey House which…read moreis in the same Center and has the same owners, so I was expecting a lot. There's not much to this dining room. There are concrete floors, some nice lighting fixtures, and a very small bar. The area where the restroom is kind of pretty with some tile work. There's a very small salsa bar near the register with three kinds of salsa. I want to preface this by saying that I understand everybody has different tastes. That said, I did not like Paco's Tacos. Like not at all. I ordered the street Taco combo, which comes with rice, beans, and two street tacos of your choice. I chose carne asada and Pollo asada. As I started to eat my chicken taco I noticed it was sweet. I asked the other people at my table whether theirs were sweet and one person said they think that one of their tacos had a little sweetness to it. I knew mine was sweet and I didn't like that. In fact, I hated it. More on that later. I ended up picking the chicken out of my taco to avoid eating the sweet tortillas. The chicken was fine, not great not bad. Same for the carne asada--not great, not bad. Neither has that smokey char flavor I usually like. The pinto beans were fine--just plain pintos in a cup with the juice. And I hated the rice, I knew I wouldn't like it as soon as I saw it, but have it a try anyway. There was so much "flavor" in it--cumin? chili powder? I have no idea, but it was definitely not for me. So, basically, I liked the plain pinto beans my friend ordered the chips and guacamole. I do think their chips are really good - - freshly made. Fast forward to when we were leaving, and I learned that they use honey to stick the lining paper to the little plastic basket that you're good comes in. That was why my tacos were sweet, and if you know me, you know I HATE honey. I will say the girl at the register was very nice, and they we're very accommodating when someone in my party asked for no onions. They certainly aim to please, the food here just was not for me at all. But maybe it will be for you.

The place was clean and we'll lit. Pleasant atmosphere, at first. After while the music got so loud we had to raise our voices just to try and hear each other. Being our first time there, it took use a bit to decide what to order. The waitress said she'd give use another 5 minutes. She came back more than ten minutes later. We put our order in. My wife ordered Mojarra Frita (fried fish). I ordered Ostiones Especiales (oysters with shrimp and scallops), for an appetizer. For my main I ordered Torre Cayomango (boiled shrimp, raw shrimp, octopus, tuna and scallops). After 20 minutes my wife asked the waitress why it was taking so long (considering there were around 15 other customers)? She told her it takes extra time to prepare the oysters. It should only take a few seconds to shuck an oyster, if you know how. Then add a shrimp and a thin slice of scallops on top should only take a few minutes. Definitely not over 20! Yhe oysters finally arrived. They looked good. Nice presentation. I slumped down my first and bit down on a chunk of shell. Not a good start. Second oyster, same outcome. Shell. I ate 4 oysters and out of the 4, 3 had shell. I left the remaining 2. After inspection, I noticed the shells were broken on the edge. You open an oyster at the hinge. Several minutes later my main arrived. My wife is still waiting. Once again, attractive presentation. The flavor was pretty good, but the boiled shrimp were over cooked and pasty. Not the freshest. For 36.40, I was expecting so much more! I finished my what I wanted of my food. My wife is still waiting. AFTER 40 MINUTES, her order arrived. This was the only saving grace. The fish (Talapia), was well cooked, moist and good flavor. I think 22.00 is a bit high for Talapia. It came with fries that were well seasoned, but limp, and a pretty scarce salad. To my relief, they comped the oysters.

Tired of the traditional chain options for dinner I was looking for something authentic and…read moreindependently owned and came across Ocean Blue Caribbean and what an amazing find it was. Authentic Jamaican served right in Chandler AZ. We were warmly welcomed upon entering the establishment. After weighing various options on an extensive menu. I decided on the tilapia fillets Escovitch style with the side of steamed vegetables (shredded cabbage and carrots that was amazing) and festivals. My wife opted Bone in brown stew chicken with a side of rice & beans and festivals. The wait for the food to served was reasonable given that it was apparent it had been made fresh upon being served. The fish was deliciously seasoned and lightly breaded. The escovitch sauce was the perfect complement for both the fish and the cabbage. My wife's bone in brown stew chicken was amazing as well the chicken was so tender it was falling off the bone and was perfectly seasoned. The gravy for the stew was plentiful and added an additional taste when added to the beans and rice. Portions were large with enough leftovers for another meal when we finished eating. The atmosphere was welcoming and friendly with a consistent flow of carryout orders and dine-in customers. I would highly recommend Ocean Blue Caribbean and look forward to our next visit.

I ordered the Bone-In Brown Stew Chicken with Rice and Beans and Festivals as my side. The chicken was so flavorful and tender! The gravy with potatoes and veggies was perfect to mix my rice in. Yummy in my tummy! I'd definitely try it again. My hubby got the fried Tilapia (Escovitch style...spicy veggies in a pepper vinager), cabbage, and festivals. Um, um, good! I ate most of his cabbage and a piece of fish because of how much they piled on his plate. Actually both dishes were really large portions. So, I have a nice amount of leftovers for lunch tomorrow- yay! We will most definitely return!

The chicken included 2 thighs and a leg and was extremely tender and was served with the choice of White Rice and Beans or Moro and a small salad. The chicken had a flavorful sauce over it when served. I did ask for an additional side to use with the chicken and rice. My wife had Chuleta al Sarten - Grilled pork chops. The meal included 2 pork chops and the same side options as mine. The pork was tender and blended well with the Moro rice. She also added some of the sauce I got to her dish. Service was great and the meals were under $20 each. Looking forward to my next visit when I think I will try one of the sea food or beef options.
