Nice, cute quaint, clean atmosphere with a good vibe and nice island music. The drinks were on point-shout out to Candy our server and mixologist who made the delicious drinks. Now onto the food some items were good like the beef patties, diced sweet potatoes and empanadas. Was a bit disappointed about the jerk wings. The sauce put on top was good however, it needs to be seasoned first and not dependent on the sauce. The beef short ribs is a good menu option. They were tender and had a good flavor but was missing something and it was warm not hot. I was disappointed with the rice and beans it was mushy however, it was taken off the bill. I am an island girl 🇹🇹 and one thing for certain two things for sure is that the jerk and the rice peas/beans and rice should be on point. I am all about flavor & would recommend they work on that. I will try them one more time given they are new to this location & service and other items were good.
I had went here today with a group representing Lake County and the service, food, atmosphere was great and I felt welcome and high vibes! I had the salmon mango tacos with plantains and it was the best salmon and salsa I ever had! High compliments to the chef and server!
My husband and i love the food, service, atmosphere the whole vibe. Definitely will come back with family and friends. Had the tropical storm and the Creole Cajun Chicken with rice & beans and plantains.
We had dinner here! Awesome food, great service, and fun vibe! We got the jerk chicken bowls! It was awesome how many healthy options were available!
Four stars, only because I'm holding on to that last star until I can visit again for some entrees. Stopped in last night after a Friday night football game for a drink and treat. The drinks are fantastic as was the apple empanada (I didn't try the plantains pictured). $12 for a good sized, delicious and strong drink seemed fair. But for an extra great value visit on Thirsty Thursday for half price specialty drinks. Hope to get back for musical trivia and the entrees! Also apologies to the staff we kept there late as we thought they were open later than they were supposed to be. They very graciously point it out but only after we were still there 40minutes after close. Hope to make up for the inconvenience by spreading the word on what they have going on there and getting more people to check it out!
