The 17 Best Caribbean Restaurants In Philly - Philadelphia - The Infatuation
"The crowd outside of Southwest Philly’s Kingston 11 is bigger than the one at Rita’s on the first day of spring. When you do get to the counter, though, make sure you grab an order of oxtails and a side of mac and cheese. The oxtails have a bit of sweetness from the tamarind and a touch of tanginess from the pimento berries, thyme sticks, and ginger they’re cooked in. As for the mac and cheese, it’s flowing with six mystery cheeses—we’re making it our life mission to uncover the blend. Until then, we can tell you that this creamy, smooth dish has us crossing a few parkways anytime we want some. To avoid the wait, we recommend calling and ordering ahead. But if you want to indulge in the full 2-hour wait experience by lining up, bring a book or load up a few episodes of The Bear on your tablet." - candis mclean
