Taste Of Island brings Cape Verdean, Portuguese, Caribbean, and Cajun influences together in a relaxed, takeout-friendly menu. Diners can explore seafood, grilled meats, pasta, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, appetizers, desserts, and rotating daily specials, accompanied by standard cold refreshments. Signature favorites include Chicken and Shrimp Mozambique, Shrimp Mozambique, Bitoque, Jambalaya, and seared salmon with shrimp. The house-made chowder and Creole shrimp skewers are also strong recommendations for newcomers.
Current online prices start around $9–$15 for burgers, sandwiches, and appetizers, while most entrées cost approximately $14–$22. Generous portions and included accompaniments create good value, although delivery pricing may differ from in-store prices. Fresh seafood, tender meats, aromatic garlic, peppers, herbs, rice, beans, and plantains produce a flavorful balance of savory richness, gentle spice, sweetness, and freshness.
Salads, vegetable sides, and potentially customizable pizzas may suit vegetarian diners, while salmon and grilled seafood provide lighter choices. Gluten-free dishes are not clearly marked, and the restaurant warns that common allergens may be present, so preparation and cross-contact should be discussed directly. Burgers, quesadillas, chicken, and fries are approachable for children. Opening around 11:30 a.m., Taste Of Island works best for lunch, dinner, takeout, family dining, and group orders rather than early breakfast.
Menu Highlights
Chicken and Shrimp Mozambique
Tender chicken and succulent shrimp are coated in a garlicky, mildly spicy Mozambique sauce. Its generous portion and bold flavor have made it the most-liked online entrée.
Shrimp Mozambique
Juicy shrimp absorb a buttery, garlic-forward sauce with gentle pepper heat. The rich sauce is especially satisfying when paired with rice or bread.
Bitoque
Seasoned steak is served with an egg for a hearty Portuguese-inspired plate. The combination stands out for its tender meat, savory juices, and substantial value.
Jambalaya
Rice, proteins, vegetables, and warming spices come together in a comforting Cajun-style dish. Each spoonful offers hearty texture and layered, gently spicy flavor.
Seared Salmon and Shrimp
Flaky salmon and firm, juicy shrimp create a seafood-forward plate with contrasting textures. It is a flavorful choice for diners seeking something lighter than steak or fried food.
Fried Cachupa
This Cape Verdean specialty develops a hearty texture and deeply savory character through pan-frying. Its traditional island roots make it one of the menu’s most distinctive selections.
Jerk Leg Quarter
Chicken is seasoned with aromatic jerk spices and cooked until juicy with a richly flavored exterior. The sweet, smoky heat gives this affordable entrée memorable Caribbean character.
