Reviews for Island Spice Jamaican Restaurant in San Diego, CA

I had the oxtails with peas and rice, and veggies. The portions were huge! Everything was fresh and delicious. The oxtails were... moist and falling off the bone. They were meaty and substantial in size, unlike other places where they give you the smallestpieces. The service is lacking, but it makes me feel like home. ???? This is my favorite spot for authentic Jamaican food. Read more

The food is EXCELLENT im from the east coast NY and this is a taste of home that's so far away. The people there are so sweet... and the food it amazingly priced and so tasty. If you haven't tried it you really need to. My favorites are ox tail and stewchicken, I'm not a hot and or spicy person but if you are the jerk chicken is amazing too. ???? Read more

The portion size is generous and the prices are good. I like that they offer a combo plate and side orders. I got the curry... chicken plate. The chicken was tender and fall off the bone but I was hoping for more flavor. Curry is supposed to be in yourface but theirs was very mild and bland. Next time I am gonna try the jerk chicken and brown stew with extra gravy on the side.The oxtails here were good but I had better. My husband cleaned his plate though. Read more

Food was good, will return in the future, would recommend to anyone… HOT WITH HEAT meaning with temperature, that’s what we... love as customers and that’s more of what you need to have HOT WITH HEAT meaning with temperature… I Had the small oxtail,they gave me a good portion, the rice and peas was good, the vegetables were good also… Also had a side of jerk chicken, allwas good and very happy they didn’t over power the chicken with the spicy seasoning, I could enjoy it without it being toospicy… YOU NEED HOT WITH HEAT!!!
