“This is a new Jamaican resturant in the Mid City area. Very nice for dine in as well. Authentic cousin that makes you forget you're in LA. The ambiance was calm. Cool and had flat screens around for your viewing pleasure to catch a game or whatever.I tried the oxtail and baby let me tell you that they did not disappoint. The meat was seasoned to perfection. The gravy guicy packed with flavor. I mean I basically ate them with a fork now that should give you a clear example of how tender these oxtail were my friend.The rice and peas I mean you can't mess that up. And the cabbage was packed with flavors. One of its kind. I've had cabbage every which way but never like this. So delicious. Would definitely double up on that next time I visit. And please believe me there will be a next time.I can't go without mentioning the customer service from the boss man himself Bouka. Top tear quality. Attentive and made us feel like we were the most important guest in the establishment. Above and beyond service with offering samples because I found it difficult deciding what I wanted from the menu cause everything looked sooo good.Vegetarian options: SeveralVeggie plate.SpinachRasta pastaCabbage“

“I had to come and give a review, I ordered yuca fries & the oxtail bowl and let me just say, I am soooooooooooooo impressed. everything was cooked and seasoned perfectly. fall off the bone meat. crispy and lightly salted yuca. I will definitely be coming back again. this flavor is a mix of soul food and caribbean cuisine together so it's not the most super authentic taste but none the less everything was so so so so good. wow.“

“Cute Venezuelan cafe with drinks, sandwiches, and arepas. Came here with a friend on a weekday for lunch and ordered some arepas to split. Each order comes with two arepas. We tried the chicken, the stewed beef, stewed pork, and mushroom. All of them were tasty and came freshly made (it takes about 20 minutes for the cook time). I also had a matcha latte with honey which was very tasty and nicely sweetened. The service was friendly and efficient. You order/pay first before taking a seat. Dine-in and takeout are available. Credit cards accepted. Metered street parking. Indoor and outdoor seating available.“

“The chef Garry fixed my food I had curry goat first time I ever had boneless goat it was very flavorful. The service was ok, the waitress never checked on me but once because my drink was off and she made a new one.Parking: Had to find parking and the light to turn onto Main Street is a nightmare I sat there 10 min waiting for a turn finally just got out turning lane went down some blocks and over to come back up“

“Everything I ordered was so good. The original spicy has a pop of heat in each bite and the chicken is crispy and not oily. The soy garlic is sweet but not too sweet with no heat at all. My only complaint is the price. It's pretty pricey for chicken wings. Everything is cooked as you order and not sitting under a heat lamp so it's definitely worth the wait. This location has a very small parking lot so if you see a parking spot do not pass it up.“

“Very beautiful restaurant. Lovely fragrance of the tropics upon entry. It has a Belizean ambience all on its on. Clean and very dignified. The gentleman taking the orders makes you feel cherished and welcomed. He makes his customers feel at home with his hospitable mannerisms. The cook who remains to be seen is the talent that brings you back. I must admit I didn't like the fact that the table menus weren't updated. A friend of mine who introduced me to this establishment were under the impression they were, only to get to the register to find out certain items had gone up. That can be very misleading. We went with the dinner plate that consist of your choice of stew beans and rice or rice and beans, white or dark meat stew chicken, potato salad and plantain. This dinner plate takes your taste buds to Belize. We also decided to order a chicken tamale. It had an awesome taste but it was a little too moist. I'm not sure if due to the temperature it caused the tamale to fall apart but I'll give it another try on my next visit. This no photo was provided of the tamale. Parking is easy to find if they're not too crowded and the prices are reasonable for the amount of food that you receive. Some items are made at a certain time. So pay closer attention to those. I'll definitely be back. I'm thinking more like tomorrow!!!“

“Despite being a Cuban food restaurant, the place immediately transports you to any other Latin city, (Caracas, Santo Domingo, San José....) it is a place with typical Cuban food, the decoration is not exquisite at all, a Informal atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable, super excellent service, super good food, it has parking. I tried meat sandwich and fried Maduro, also a delicious soursop smoothie, excellent. Others ordered Ropa Vieja Sandwich, Chicken Sandwich, empanadas and suckling pig. All very pleased with our choices. The photo I published shows my bite of the Sandwich as proof of tasting. Recommended.“
“You can always expect yummy for your tummy. I appreciate the portions that are served compared to other places. Great customer service and you can definitely feel the friendly energy exchange amongst all that enters there establishment. The price is fair, like I said 2 can eat from one plate. I definitely say try it cause you will enjoy it???“

“I just want to say this is the most welcoming Jamaican establishment I’ve ever been to. Immediately when you walk in, you are met with such positivity and a warm smile from the owner who deserves top tier recognition for his culinary effort and expertise. I had the jerk chicken and stew chicken between two visits and both were just phenomenal. The Chef and staff both have an uncanny ability to light your taste buds in nostalgia with every bite, which left me reminiscing on Momma’s signature Caribbean dishes growing up. Thank you for transporting me back home through a plate of food, when it’s not so easy to have momma’s cooking when she lives in NYC. The love and passion you put in your food is much appreciated. Food should always be nourishing, but it’s better when it’s emotional. Filled with love. I loved the sweet plantains and how perfect the Pattie’s are. If you are in town, please give them a shot. These people are beautiful inside and out and the food will not disappoint.“
