“The flavor in the food BLEW ME AWAY. Went with a coworker and cannot wait to go back with my dad. Ox Tail bowl and the beef empanadas were absolutely incredible. Mercedes, thank you for such an awesome experience!! Cannot recommend this place highly enough.“

“Been a few times and the food is wonderful as well as, the staff. Casual place we typically visit after a long hike and when in need of a large, flavorful and satisfying hot meal. The fajitas and plantains are to die for!!! Highly recommend!!“

“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.“

“this is my new spot. right near my work. good portions. best plantains. service is always nice and fast i said oh my god so many times the first time i ate here good location too nice outdoor table and booth next to the window. they got all the sodas too! still need to try the patties. they look flaky“

“Lechón asado. If you eat pork, that's the way to go. Tender roast pork marinated in mojo, a delectable garlic-citrus sauce, is topped with rings of not-quite-raw onion and served alongside a mountain of white rice, onto which you spoon saucy black beans. As if that's not enough you get a side of sweet fried plantains too. Portions are plenty, but if you want a starter, look no further than the yuca frita, chunks of fried starchy cassava root with more mojo to dip, of course (though I wish they offered yuca boiled as well). It's the closest most of us will get to Cuba without a change in diplomatic strategy.“

“Great customer service First time I tried it suggested by my brother from LA!“

“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.“

“Fabulous owners! Delicious food!!! huge portions. Fun fun fun!!“

“One of my favorite place to get chicken in Los Angeles. Prompt and excellent service. Good location, has ample parking spaces but not sure during Friday night or weekends. But I do know that i get parking all the time during the middle of the day. I always order to go and call in ahead of time. Recommended their famouse half chicken sauce on the side and oxtail stew. Enough for two person.“
