Food is good, but if you're hungry, don't get the oxtail. Warming up a piece of leftover chicken now to go with the rest of my dinner.

The first time I got here, the food was amazing. I got the vegetarian chalupa, arroz de vegetable, and a tamarind drink. However today when I placed my order, the door was locked right when the restaurant had an open sign. They need to update when they’re not open.

If you have never been to Jamaica or Costa Rica but always wanted to go. Pura Vida is where both are combined in a authentic way. From the beans and rice to the curry and jerk chicken. Don't let me get started on the bread. Check the food review on Jay's Life Out Loud on YouTube.
Both the food and service was top tier. Would definitely recommend a visit . the tres leches/ passionfruit strawberry juice were great extras to consider.
this is the second time I’ve been to this place and I have nothing but good things to say the food is absolutely amazing and I cannot compare it to any other place. I live 40 minutes away and I drive out just to eat at this place, that’s how good of food they serve. It’s great quality, great price and the people they are very nice and helpful with any questions that you have, if you were looking for some good Caribbean Jamaican food. Please give this place a try I promise you will not regret it. I recommend the oxtail plate and the jerk chicken plate.
Excellent Jerk Chicken! Fast service very good food. Have tried the oxtails also and they were good

Amazing food, amazing service. Very small restaurant. Take out or summer weather for outdoor seating.

This is my favorite Jamaican restaurant in the area, and I've tried multiple spots. The owners are great people who always provide service with a smile. The food is delicious. My go-to dishes are the jerk chicken and the carribean fried rice, but they also have plenty of other dishes that are also full of flavor. It's great to have something different right here in Pontiac.

So upset about my food. I had it before and it was good. This time I am highly disappointed. Ordered on Uber eats . Chicken was dry and not cooked fully. Don’t like the pasta salad either
