The flavors of the Caribbean are bursting out in Charles County. Three new restaurants are in the process of opening or have recently opened. I have not been to any of them yet, I usually like to wait a few weeks before I write about the food at a new restaurant.
So, if you go let me know your thoughts. I love Caribbean food and (if you know me) I really love plantains!
Two restaurants are in LaPlata and one is in White Plains. Here is some information on these new places:
