Caribbean Spice, Tempe

Very friendly, nice Neighbourhood restaurant. Lots people ordered to go boxes. Easy find parking.

Curry goat was very tender.

No waiter, no host when asked the cook for the menu, he ran off names of food we were not familiar with. When asked if they had a menu to explain what the dishes consist off the chef stormed off and brought back a Xerox paper with a menu. We waited 25 minutes at a table we elected for someone to come out of the rear (kitchen) to service us and no one came out. Several minutes later a Hispanic gentleman stepped behind the counter so I walked over and asked him if I can order. The man could not understand very well so I ordered in Spanish. About 15 minutes a lady whom addressed herself as the owner came to our table to ask us if we order and what had we order. She apologized about the confusion??? Later, the Hispanic man comes out of the kitchen with two plates in hand and gave out order to another table and their order to us, when I said to him in Spanish that it was not my order he walked over to the other table and said sorry before retrieving the plate that the other party had to idea what it was and was digging through. He placed the plate on our table and walked away. (needless to say we did not eat it) When the rest of the order came out it was cold and non edible. We walked to the register to pay and the owner said that the chicken and beef patties were on the house for all the chaos. She then asked me if I enjoyed the meal and I told her that all the food was still sitting on the table because it was cold and not edible. She said she was sorry for the experience and she hoped we return. Really??? Must be out of her mind. The place needs a new coat of paint and better décor as well. Buyer Beware!!

The food was okay, the service was good
