My husband recently celebrated his birthday and ONLY wanted food from this place. It was pretty last minute, but Yonette was responsive to my catering request. It was Super Bowl Sunday , and she still made the accommodations for me! Food was fresh and delicious and our guests didn't stop talking about it. Thank you again! If your on the fence about it, try it! They never disappoint.

I didn’t get to take any pictures because I literally demolished my entire meal and I am the most content and satisfied I have ever felt.
My husband and I have visited Jamaica and the food there was incredible, we saw this place and the food looked delicious on instagram, and it did not disappoint one bit!
The portion size for our jerk chicken plate was what I call “family size” a super heaped plate with plenty of rice & peas, wilted veggies and 1/2 of the most authentically seasoned chicken.
They say you can’t put a price on a mothers love but here they serve it by the plate for $17
Sweet perfect plantains, Super aromatic the experience was delightful.
I cannot wait to come back and try everything on the menu.
They also have the best Jamaican patties in Los Angeles, quit sleeping on this place and go!

Vegetarian Patty
This is the hidden gem. The food is great and must try! We ordered the oxtail stew. The owner Yonette is extremely nice and helpful. She is willing to be interview my a middle schooler for her science project. (while other stores rejected us @ 3pm). She told us the unsold food will donate to church. This is a kind act and blessing to the community.

Oxtail Stew
"A Taste of Island Paradise in San Gabriel"
Eating at Caribbean Gourmet is like taking a trip to see long time friends during the Holiday. Yonette, her family, and staff have really become a part of the community. The real magic though, is in the food. The warm aroma of spices fills the air, immediately transporting on a culinary vacation.
Jamaican patties: These golden pockets of heaven are a must-try. The flaky pastry encases a savory filling of seasoned meat and vegetables, bursting with flavor in every bite. Each bite is a symphony of textures and tastes, leaving you wanting more. True story; I once ordered 50 of them for my Christmas party, and the team delivered. Everyone at the party wanted to take some home.
Oxtail: This dish is a true Caribbean classic, and Caribbean Gourmet does it justice. The slow-cooked oxtail is melt-in-your-mouth tender, falling off the bone with just a touch. The rich and flavorful gravy perfectly complements the meat, making each forkful an absolute delight.
Jerk chicken: This iconic dish is a must-have for any Caribbean food enthusiast. The jerk seasoning at Caribbean Gourmet is spot-on, infusing the chicken with a smoky, spicy, and slightly sweet flavor that's truly unforgettable. The meat is cooked to perfection, juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside.
But the deliciousness doesn't end there. Caribbean Gourmet offers a wide variety of other authentic dishes, from curry and plantains to roti and rice and peas. Each dish is prepared with fresh ingredients and cooked with love, ensuring a truly authentic Caribbean experience.
