I went in to see what Caribbean goodies they had. Talked to Mark a bit about when I lived in Trinidad he said Doubles! I can make you some. I special ordered some for my whole family after talking up doubles for a whole year. Mark was got them done! They are the closest to what I remember and my family absolutely loved them! Thank you so much Mark for making this happen. We are big fans and will be back for some jerk chicken

We stopped in because we saw a sign for Jamaican beef patties and we were not disappointed! They are amazing. We were only in Penticton for 5 days and ended up going 3 times.

My girlfriend and I came to Penticton for the week and maybe it was the sunshine or maybe it was the beach, but something had us craving Caribbean food. Luckily we found Mr Mark’s because I can say without a doubt it was the best jerk chicken I’ve ever had, and trust me, I’ve had A LOT. Not only was the food amazing, but Mr Mark himself was friendly, funny and very kind. If you’re in Penticton and you’re feeling that same island vibe, definitely go see Mr Mark. You won’t be disappointed. OH and don’t forget the hot sauce! It’s so good you’ll want to drink it out the bottle!

I went for Jamaican patties, but they said they just sold the last 3 to the last customer. Then I decided to go with lamb curry, which I was told was fresh and got take out. I live close by and had it within next few minutes, it was microwaved. The middle of the container and bottom was frozen cold, just the top was warm. Very disappointing, step it up guys and take pride in your food.

Was lucky enough to make it here as we were only passing by Penticton. We got the ox-tail with rice, jerk chicken with rice, jerk chicken poutine, and the last order of goat curry to share between the 4 of us. We ordered everything medium spicy and it was perfect. Flavours were delicious and authentic. Thank you for the wonderful food Mr. Mark, we'll be back again next year.

For the last three years we have been trying to eat at this restaurant. But due to unforeseen circumstances such as the pandemic and a shortage of food/staff, it was only recently that we finally got our Carribean food craving while visiting Penticton! There are two locations, but the one across from Skaha lake is the main spot and best one to visit. Mark and Denise are super nice and down to earth, and I love being able to support a local restaurant. I really wanted to try the oxtail but it was not available. I think you actually have to call a few days ahead of time to ask or request it. It also depends on if the needed ingredients are in stock. My boyfriend and I ended up getting a jerk chicken each. It was delicious and definitely made with love. Mark's jerk sauce was boiled down so it was more like a gravy and it was full of flavor. We visit Penticton often and will be back!

Fooooood is very authentic and full of flavors. Love the Jamaican Patty's (full of filling and not oily at all) and we got the Jerk Chicken with rice and beans and it was amazing 👌 During off season they are located at 1439 Main St. which is about 8 minutes away and Mr.Mark mentioned that both location is open during the summer

We ordered two Patties and Jerk Chicken and rice. The parties are soooooooo delicious and filling filled all the way to the tip. No greasy at all. Just right. Jerk chicken is something I have never tasted before. Spicy delicious sauce and very juicy and tender chicken and love the rice and beans as well. Everything was so good and very filling. We are so happy.

Place rules. Parents live in Penticton so have been to tons of restaurants here & this is my first review. Great food, owner is amped to share Jamaican culture and it is contagious in the best of ways. Amazing Jamaican sodas including a unique malt soda and the best ginger beer Ive had in over a decade. We had the jerk chicken poutine and a couple patties.

Highly recommend this place for authentic Carribean. I arrived early on a Thursday and was promptly greeted by the owner, Mark. He makes everything by hand. I had the Jamaican beef patty and their goat curry. Both were absolutely amazing. The flavours and spice were both just unreal. The goat curry came with bones, and I had some bone marrow as well - just WOWW!! I would highly recommend stopping by this little hole-in-the-wall business. Parking: Roughly 15 parking spots shared between 5 or so businesses

Wish I could give Mr Mark 10 stars!! Absolutely delicious and authentic Jamaican food - just what weve been looking for in the Okanagan. And what a great guy, so friendly and fun to be around whilst he made all the food fresh to order, including the patties. He even makes his own jerk sauce! I ordered the jerk chicken poutine and it was to die for, with just the right amount of heat! Great spot to slow down and chill out with a great view of Skaha Lake watching planes landing. His other store by Little Caesars stays open during the off season so we will absolutely be customers for life! Thanks again Mr Mark for the lessons in eating patties the right way, when theyre piping hot hahaha Vegetarian options: Veggie patty was great Parking: 30 minute parking

We recently moved to Penticton from Surrey, BC and love Jamaican patties. We were so happy to see that we were able to get them at Mr. Marks Caribbean Foods.

Very disappointed, bland food, bad customer service and not a good value.

Terrible food, bland and boring, literally had to wait for 1.5 hrs for him to tell us that he had not made the food we ordered for. Also considering the small amount of food we wanted the price was a joke
