What I love about this place is that, when you're finished eating, you feel energized and ready for the day, not bogged down from preservatives - the food is fresh, served with a smile and I'm getting hungry for the jerk chicken just writing this post. it's a tiny hole in the wall, where the best food usually is - one love!

I don’t care about what everybody says, this is the number 1 Jamaican food spot in San Diego. Food is authentically good, better. Outstanding customer service on a good vibing atmosphere.

Everything was so flavorful & delicious. The meat was tender & fallling off the bone. The plantains were fried perfectly & cabbage seasoned to perfection. The rice & & sauce , mmmmmmm top notch ! I’ll be back for sure ! Very clean atmosphere , service impeccable , food amazing ?
I was half way through eating my food and I realized I ain't even get a picture, that's how amazing this food is. Definitely made with love and soul. REAL JAMAICAN FOOD!!! flavorful, tender, and delicious. Thank you!!

I bought oxtail with cabbage and plantain but I was disappointed because the plantains taste spoiled and the cabbage is too sour for me. The price is too expensive for 3 and half oxtail and the plantain i bought is expensive too.

The jerk sauce was like a party for my taste buds, mingling effortlessly with the rice, peas, and sweet plantains like they were besties at a flavor fiesta! Already counting down the minutes until I can dive into another plate of this scrumptious delight. Let the cravings commence!Vegetarian options: Rice and peas and plantainsParking: In a small Busy shopping center but parking was plentiful

Ordered delivery. The oxtail and jerk chicken were delicious. Food arrived earlier than expected. Price is reasonable.

Great food, especially the jerk chicken and oxtail. Warm and friendly environment with great customer service. Real chill and laid back vibes. You can smell the grilled chicken on the BBQ outside!
The Rasta pasta was fire!!! And jerk wings couldn’t beat

Been going here for the past 7 years ever since getting stationed in San Diego with the Navy. The food is to die for. I always go for the jerk and curry chicken dinner, which is usually more than enough food for me. And the beef patties are to die for. Makes me really want to visit Jamaica in the future just for the amazing food.
Good food, good service, tiny restaurant. Everything prepared to go, which might be best.

First time eating here was very excited to try. $60 on the worse Jamaican food ever, very disappointed. Curry had zero curry jerk tasted like a lightly spiced bbq sauce, overcooked & zero gravy, rice & peas was hard could tell it was old. Not even sure what type of Mac & cheese that was. Beyond that, the gentleman was kind and the restaurant had a comfy vibe. 0/10 for the food tho wouldn’t recommend. I couldn’t even finish it.
