Island Spice Jamaican Restaurant is a delightful spot that brings a taste of the Caribbean straight to San Diego!

I recently enjoyed the Jerk Chicken and Ox Tail combination plate, and let me tell you, the Ox Tail was the standout - absolutely bursting with flavor! The rice and peas complemented the dish perfectly, though the Jerk Chicken could use a touch more spice. 🍗

The casual atmosphere is cozy, and the staff, while sometimes short, are patient and helpful. It did take longer than expected for our food, but once it arrived, we couldn’t complain! Definitely planning to return for more of that oxtail goodness... 🌴
