The food is delicious and they give so much!! I always order the Jerk chicken and oxtail. These two dishes are very good. Before San Diego, I always enjoyed Jamaican food in Virginia!! Then tried to find one good restaurant out here and it was just dry. This place is so bomb!! Their cakes are really moist as well. Friendly service too!! I am always coming back!! P.S. the photos does no justice…

I had the oxtails with peas and rice, and veggies. The portions were huge! Everything was fresh and delicious. The oxtails were moist and falling off the bone. They were meaty and substantial in size, unlike other places where they give you the smallest pieces. The service is lacking, but it makes me feel like home. This is my favorite spot for authentic Jamaican food.

Ate here about a year ago and had a GREAT experience. Got the oxtail and it was amazing. However, I went there today hoping for the same experience and it was terrible. The rice was not fully cooked and was crunchy. Oxtail had good flavor but was not fall off the bone.

The food is EXCELLENT im from the east coast NY and this is a taste of home that’s so far away. The people there are so sweet and the food it amazingly priced and so tasty. If you haven’t tried it you really need to. My favorites are ox tail and stew chicken, I’m not a hot and or spicy person but if you are the jerk chicken is amazing too.

Ordered dinner from here yesterday, i haven’t been living in San Diego long but wanted to find a good Caribbean place as it’s always been a favorite. I ordered the jerk chicken, to me it honestly tasted like grilled chicken with a spicy barbecue sauce on it, never tasted jerk chicken like it but it was still okay. The biggest disappointment for me was that they didn’t include the plantains that came with the meal. They’ve always been my favorite part of any Caribbean meal. I actually sat and contemplated ordering extra plantains like i usually do but decided that the meal would be okay, obviously a mistake because i didn’t get any.
