Absolutely love coconut and try to come here every time I'm in town. I get the jerk chicken (white meat) or the jerk salmon which are always delicious. Very lively ambiance and service is quick. Highly recommend it.

Although the Uber driver forgot my rum cake and ruined my night, the amazing flavors in the jerk salmon and oxtail combo were to die for!! Honestly, it's so hard to get amazing Caribbean so far away from home, but this place was amazing and it was take out. I cannot wait to visit in person and get everything on the menu if it's as amazing as this.

Huge portions, great flavor Tried the appetizer platter and honestly really enjoyed it all. The different textures of fried chicken were fantastic and the sauces were so yummy Also got a jerk oxtail / chicken plate and it was so good. I love their plantains and the rice+beans is good. Huge portions, I had enough for a second meal The food was a little salty but very good. Service is fine, nothing notable good or bad. Interior is cozy and dim. I would come back!

We came here for a dinner date a while ago. This place wasn't very crowded and the food was delicious and huge in portion size, so we both left pretty happy. I got the oxtail plate while he got the jerk salmon plate. I'm a huuge fan of oxtail and I really liked how the ones here were meaty and well flavored. Each plate also came with side of plantains, and they were also crispy and delicious.

Good food in a casual, tropical vibe. The CORN FESTIVALS (free with Yelp check-in) were nicely fried and warm, but a bit dense and dry I got a BRAISED OXTAILS & JERK SALMON COMBO ($26), which is served with rice & beans and sweet plantains, but I subbed the coconut rice & beans for brown rice. The oxtail was very rich and flavorful, and the sauce went great mixed in with the rice (I subbed the coconut rice for brown rice). There were a few chewy bits, but it fell off the bone and I'd definitely get it again. I also really enjoyed the salmon, which was tender and came in a nice flavorful tomato sauce. Prices have definitely gone up, but it's a good amount of food. Otherwise, I tried the JERK CHICKEN PLATE ($16.5 for dark meat, vs. $17.5 for white meat), and although it was the dark meat version, I found it fairly dry and very spicy (much more so than the oxtails and salmon). Service was very slow and they don't take any substitutions (e.g. wouldn't sub plantains for another side, even with an upcharge), and we had to ask 4 times before we finally got our drinks, but the food was flavorful enough that I'd come back.

We came here on a Sunday for lunch and the restaurant had about 3-4 tables with guests and the rest was empty. Service was unreasonably slow. It took us a considerable about of time for the server to come see us, get drinks, and receive food. Our server at the time wasn't very friendly and seemed a bit flustered. When I went up and paid the bill, I learned that another server had called in sick and they didn't have the proper staff. I completely am understanding of that, as those things do happen. Unfortunately, they happen to all of us, and even if you are having a rough day, you don't need to project that onto the guests. I am sympathetic, but after all, we are there at a business paying for a nice meal. We ordered crispy pork bites - super flavorful and delicious. Jerk chicken - spicy and flavorful. Chicken was juicy and not dry. Food was a 5/5. I've also had take out from here about 5-6 years ago and it was delicious. Jerk pork and chicken were very flavorful as were the sides. Since then it's been bookmarked. Consistent flavors from the time difference, which I think is very important for any restaurant. Would return here again.

My sister and I were visiting Palo Alto from out of town and Coconuts Caribbean was such a great find! We ordered the coconut shrimp appetizer and combo plate with oxtail and jerk chicken to share. The oxtail tasted stellar and the portion was generous. The meat is full of flavor, tender and falls off the bone. The jerk chicken was moist with a mild kick of spiciness, plantains and rice were nice as well. It was definitely enough food for the both of us to share. The service was attentive and kind. The ambiance was casual and relaxing and it was pleasant nice to enjoy the weather in the back patio. Next time, I would like to try the goat curry and oxtail combo plate with a side of collard greens. It's a bonus that the location is in a cute downtown area, perfect to walk around.
