Reviews for Caricom Spices in Scotrun, PA
Order the Jerk Chicken box. Rice was cooked perfectly - soft and beans melted as you took the bite Plantains we?re fresh and... tasted- crispy, soft and sweet Vegetables were good too Jerk Chicken seasoning and spice was good but jerk chicken itself wasreally dry So they get a 4-star in my book Read more
The Jerk salmon is AMAZING! Well worth the price. They pile your plate up with food. The Mac and cheese was meh (had onions in... it) wouldn?t get that again. Will definitely be back for the jerk salmon. So flavorful and not too hot where you can?t eat it. Read more
UPDATE- I have dropped my review from 5 to 2 stars. We must've really lucked out that first time we ever called here and were... actually able to order food. Since writing this review we have tried to order again on FIVE separate occasions and each time wewere unable to get food. Two times they closed earlier than their hours listed say on Google, once the answering machine messagesaid they were closed randomly for a few days during a week in May, and twice we were told they were sold out or did not havethe meals we wanted to order. I'm not a fan of the whole, "text in your order" especially when you text them and it takes 15-20minutes to get a response. I'm so sad about their poor customer service and the fact that they are never open when they shouldbe. All I want is to enjoy their delicious vegan food but I guess it's based on luck if you can actually get it. I've beenwanting to try this spot for awhile because I read they have a lot of plant-based options. We were at Camelbeach for the day andwere looking for a restaurant nearby with vegan options which honestly, it's pretty slim pickins' in the Poconos area as far asthat goes. I had no idea we were only about 1 mile from Caricom Spices! We called and the owner texted us the menu. We placedour order immediately and drove over. We had to wait for it in our car and they called us up to the window when it was done. Wegot the meal with the vegan jerk chicken. I was pleasantly surprised to see how large the portions were and I was happy to eatmy leftovers as lunch the next day. The food was hot- both temperature and spicy. I LOVED it. The plantains were out of thisworld! It was so good my mouth is watering just thinking about it again. The prices were reasonable especially for how much foodwe got. I can't wait to go back and try the curry chicken. Read more
My friend and I were at the outlets nearby and were craving some real food & found this place on google. Soooo glad we came by... because the food was delicious! I?m from NYC where we have tons of good Caribbean spots and tons of friends who?s parents andgrandparents and aunties will cook for us too... this spot was just as amazing! I tried their medium curry chicken with rice &peas, cabbage, and plantains and my friend ordered the medium jerk chicken with the same sides. Both tasted really good. We alsogot the homesip juices - passion fruit and sorrel. They were so refreshing to go with the spicy meals. The guy who worked therewas really nice and helped us pick out what we wanted. He also played some great reggae. Will 100% be coming back the next timewe are in the area!! Read more
Most definitely the best Caribbean food you're going to get up here in this part of PA. The atmosphere is nice and there is... seating for small groups. Food is fast, flavorful and can even accompany vegan and vegetarian diets. You can even pick up someauthentic Caribbean bottled drinks. Love this spot, will most definitely recommend especially the beef patties. Read more
Oh wow, the vegan Caribbean food here is LEGIT. We had the jerk strips and pepper steak, it tastes so real! So flavorful! You... get a lot for your money too. Comes with rice, cabbage, and plantains! Read more
Ok so all those saying this place is fake are just angry because of a bad experience. Second it's a locally owned shop who does... by the way except credit card payment not just cash. Third the menu thing a pet peeve of mine but some items went up becausethey are expensive to purchase not because of who you are. They? buy locally so if the price goes up in the grocery store guesswhat the menu price will go up too. The price of the food is listed inside right by the showcase for those who want to know. Youhave 2 options medium and large except for when you want oxtails there is only one size. Now the food is a blend of theCaribbean not just one spot in particular. You will get Jamaica the West Indies etc... If you can handle spicy food this placeis for you. The food is delicious so if you're feeling curry stop by. I always enjoy my meal from here! Read more
Best fall off the bone jerk chicken I've ever had, serious... I was dead after she asked "do you want oxtail sauce on that"... ... Oh hell yeah I do!!! Never knew you could even get it like that. It was amazing!!! Read more
