ISLAND SPICE GRILL – Caribbean
Caribbean cooking with a Jacksonville accent: jerk chicken and jerk pork off the grill, slow-braised oxtail, curry goat and red snapper, plus jerk tacos that load the same meats into corn tortillas with purple cabbage, pico de gallo and cilantro. Oxtail turns up again folded through mac and cheese. Sweet plantains and steamed cabbage on the side, rum cake and red velvet to finish. Regulars single out how tender the oxtail comes out and how far the seasoning carries. Counter service, big flavours, no ceremony.
