The Best Caribbean Restaurants in Los Angeles

"The 28-year-old Cha Cha Chicken is a Santa Monica beacon for Caribbean dishes from multiple nations, attracting diners from all corners of town. The jerk chicken is consistently very good, as are most of the sides like fried sweet plantains, dirty rice, black beans, and tangy red cabbage slaw. If in need of something more filling, go for the Cuban ropa vieja (shredded beef stew) or coconut fried chicken plate (the slight sweetness on the chicken’s crust is mesmerizing). There’s also a location in Northridge." - Mona Holmes, Matthew Kang, Nicole Adlman
