There's a place called Caribbean Feast at 823 Hungerford Drive (Rt.355) in Rockville.  It's a little to the North of the Rockville Post Office along 355, on the opposite side of the street.  There's a Cuban place, the Cuban Corner, right next door.  Both places are good, in my opinion. (I haven't been in the Cuban place since "the troubles" in Miami, so I don't whether you'll get a dose of Elian-related bombast if you go there...)

Up the road in Gaithersburg, there a place called Negril Jamaican Eatery, which is also not bad, but a bit lower on the atmosphere scale than Caribbean Feast, in my opinion.  It's in the "Hechinger's Square" Center at 18513 Frederick Road, maybe a scant mile North of Montgomery Village Ave. on Rt.355.

Wings and Tings in or near DC, and a place in Georgetown, DC on K  St under the overpass.

the best place for west indian food is on 8th and florida avenue nw.  it is called tropicana.  it is all take out and the service can be a little slow (infuriatingly so if you are in a hurry), but the food (generous, spicy, delicious) food more than makes up for it.
