The Breadfruit, a cheerful, casual Jamaican restaurant, fits right in with other independent eateries that have cropped up on the sleepy periphery of downtown’s bustling core. Owner Dwayne Allen, originally from Jamaica, considers the restaurant an extension of his kitchen at home, which means customers are treated to the same succulent, spicy jerk chicken, fragrant […]

Fe La Cubana is a classic Cuban American-style cafeteria that deviates little from many of the best-known dishes of the island just south of Florida. Though there are Cuban sandwiches and fried foods, Fe La Cubana is all about the steam table offerings. These are soupy, stewy, and beautiful – ageless preparations like ropa vieja […]
Even Castro would endorse capitalism like this. Authentic comidas Cubanas like tostones, paella and arroz con pollo served in an attractive, intimate environment. The black bean soup is revolutionary. After 5 p.m., sip sherry and sample tapas upstairs in Arriba.

Around for more than 10 years, Hot Pot Caribbean Cuisine is a small restaurant inside a featureless strip mall in Chandler. But the dishes here are multiple times more eye-catching than the eatery’s exterior. Hot Pot serves a mean Brown stew chicken, plus Goat curry, Oxtails, and deep-fried Escovitch fish.

In-the-know diners come to this well-regarded ethnic diner for authentic African cuisine with Caribbean influences. African food is traditionally very spicy, but one can adjust the heat on pretty much every dish. Equisi soup, a slow-cooked Nigerian concoction featuring pounded yam and rich chunks of goat, is a winner. Likewise the thyme-infused oxtail soup, a […]
Family-owned and -operated, the eatery is one of a handful of Caribbean restaurants in the Valley. It’s inviting and informal, with the menu — which changes depending on availability of ingredients — written in chalk on the wall. If the writing is illegible, the staff will be more than happy to recite the day’s available […]
