Ocho Rios Jerk Spot is a Caribbean Restaurant located in an older strip mall in Phoenix Arizona. They offer Jamaican patties, wings, salads, cocktails various Jamaican entrees and more.

They do have a patio but it doesn’t appear to be in use.

Inside is a dining room and a bar.

Today we did take out.

We tried a variety of things. We tried small sized a la carte escovitch snapper, a la carte brown stew chicken, a la carte curry chicken, s/o macaroni and cheese, cocoa bread and a jerk chicken entree with rice and peas, cabbage and festival bread.

All the chicken dishes we ordered were dark meat that was developed with flavors and falling off the bone tender. The curry chicken and the brown stew chicken was very similar to others that I have tried. Very good and similar familiar flavors. The escovitch snapper also had very good flavor. Don’t remember having cocoa bread before but it was good and seemed fresh. It was slightly sweet. The macaroni and cheese was a homestyle kind……a little soft with the noodles but it was very cheesy. I do find that each restaurant has their own unique recipe for jerk chicken. This one is among the best that I’ve tried. It’s very flavorful and very tender. I had my choice of sauce that comes with it. I think? the choices were something like mild, bbq or hot…We picked hot and it was HOT but not nuclear with a nice fruity taste. I thought it was really great!

I have to say…….First taste at Ocho Rios Jerk Spot was….

Worth a Fork!
