Limin's Cafe Caribe

The other day I got, Limin’s Cafe Caribe, for dinner. I ordered the Oxtail Dinner w/ Rice & Peas, and Cabbage. The dinner was fairly middling to say the least. The Oxtails bordered on the fatty side, and was not very tender, while also having little flavor. The cabbage had a nice crunch to it, but very bland. Could’ve been cooked just a little longer. But the cabbage was very refreshing, almost salad like. The Rice & Peas were oily prob due to the Oxtail Gravy, but it was really aromatic and had a nice texture to it. The people who take the orders are extremely nice and attentive, great customer service! The ambience of, Limin’s, is welcoming and has a home-y vibe to it. I love, Limin’s, have been going here for years. Their Stew Chicken is phenomenal! But for my first time trying their Oxtail Dinner, it was a fairly disappointing experience, especially given their other awesome menu items. Even with the Oxtails not living up to, Limin’s, regular expectations, I ranked them a little higher because the quality of the Oxtail was exceptional and their customer service is amazing. As you can see from the photos, they give nice big pieces, I just wish it had more flavor and was just a little more tender. All in all, Limin’s, is a great place to eat, and I will keep going back. Was just a little disappointed in the Oxtail Dinner. If anyone is in the, East Orange area, and looking for some good Caribbean food, def check out, Limin’s Cafe Caribe!

During my visit, I experience good customer service; a kind-helpful employee helps me navigate Vegan options of which I discover the menu has a lot more Vegan options than apparent as of 4/4/2023—coming from a Caribbean culture, I realize Veggie is like another way of saying Vegan, maybe depending how hard the -ie at the end is, one might better differentiate if meaning Vegan or Vegetarian . Upbeat Vibes! The Vegetable Roti is so filling and good. I literally eat a quarter of the meal at a time, each quarter very slowly: the ingredients taste very well together. The kicker of the meal is the Sorrel, a hibiscus drink full of flavor!!! I really enjoy the meal. My allergies literally stop acting up when I eat the meal: my sinuses calm a lot when partaking of any part of the meal eating/drinking. The establishment requires a minimum $15 order for Debit/Credit Card use. The establishment takes different forms of payment.

This is my first experience with this restaurant. The food tasted very good, the only reason why I gave them 3 stars. However the portion size giving for the price of $24 is not ok. I thought I was getting a whole fish for my meal and received a piece of fish, not even two pieces or even half a fish, just one dege dege piece a fish. My curried potatoes had barely any gravy and about 4 Little pieces of potatoes. From reading other reviews they’re obviously very stingy with their food, but over charge. Trust me not keeping your customers Happy and satisfied will cause your restaurant to shut down. I’ve seen it so many times, especially when owners walk around with a big ego and not rectifying the issues. There’s still time to do what’s right, have a blessed day and good luck.

We had a phenomenal experience! Great for the adults and the kids. Great food, atmosphere, and customer service. Staff was very courteous, helpful, and responsive. The main highlights for us were the smoothies, food variety, and the oxtail! I see complaints about price to portion but it's worth it because you're paying for actual good and healthy food. Health is wealth y'all!

The fresh drink selection is something unique and original. The food choices are what you'd expect and delicious, although really light on the spice and seasoning. Everything is pretty pricey for the portion size you get though. And there's multiple times now where I've been given the wrong food in my pickup order. With that being said though, I still recommend this place. The people are nice, the food and drinks are good.

While in the East Orange area, I had the pleasure of meeting my best friend at Limins Café Caribe. While I have passed this area many times throughout my life, I never noticed it. All of the employees were very nice. The food was amazing. Whenever I am in the East Orange area again, I will definitely make the time to stop by for some great food as well as support this black owned business.

Loved it!! I had the oxtail dinner and it was delicious. My bf had goat stew and he loved it. The owners are delightful and we will be back for sure!Food: 5/5

Great Food. Accommodating. Promptness A My girl is a strict Vegan, she didn't have the original Roti bread, I'm more flexible so I Injoyed my Roti wrap.. The Owner then started bringing us sample of every Vegan option. Definitely look forward to eating here again.

Limins has been disappointing me lately. The first issue was that there were flies in my smoothie. They corrected that. Today I had my husband pick up some bakes & smoked herring & I received this! This isn’t smoke herring, this is tomato & onions and barely any smoked herring! Very disappointing. I just threw it out.

Limin’s food and quality all around has just gone completely down the drain! After being opened for so…… many years, you would have thought the determination, atmosphere, the food etc., would grow into something bigger and better as time goes on but instead it’s become a total disappointment. The food is oh so dry, not flavorful, very small portions for the amount of money being paid overall awful. I mean I know food has taken an increase on many lives, but even before inflation hit it was still the same small amount of food for extreme prices. One good thing I will say though, the smoothies, shakes and drinks are the only A+ from me and my family. The front working staff, not all but some, are so rude, have horrible attitudes, talk mess about you, just treat you and their job like garbage. Instead of focusing on doing good work and treating the customers well.
