Paradise Found on Broadway North
Lamar Buckley spotted a craving no one in Fargo was filling — and opened Tropical Spice Caribbean Cuisine to change that. Bold jerk spice, slow-braised oxtails, and golden plantains, right here in North Dakota.
Tropical Spice Caribbean Cuisine | Our Story
The Gap Lamar Saw
Fargo had zero authentic Caribbean options — so Lamar Buckley opened Tropical Spice on Broadway North and bet the city was ready.
A Menu Built on Home Cooking
Jerk chicken charred and smoky, oxtails braised until they fall off the bone, fragrant curry chicken, and the signature jerk chicken pasta. Portions are generous — leftovers are practically guaranteed.
The Space Feels Like an Escape
Yellow walls, reggae murals, and hand-painted Rastafarian artwork make this a full sensory shift, not just a meal. Indoor booths and outdoor seating round out the experience.
Fargo Took Notice
The Scroll called Tropical Spice "a fantastic addition to Fargo's food scene," and the Be Inclusive Hospitality Awards named it Caribbean Food Business of the Year. The response has been loud and loyal.
One Drive Down Broadway
You don't need a passport to taste the islands — just head to 3132 Broadway North. Bold, soulful Caribbean cuisine, right here in Fargo-Moorhead.
