My wife and I have been driving by this place for some time, and were quite pleasantly surprised. The outside is nothing to look in, next to a McDonald's in a crappy strip mall, but the inside is fun, and the food is delicious and reasonable! Kelly and I both love Caribbean cuisine, especially after our honeymoon in Belize, and were pleasantly surprised. My only complaint is when I ordered Hot, it was very mild, but I asked and they said they would make it more to my fiery liking if I specifically asked! And the food was good enough that I will certainly do that (and if not bring some Marie Sharps to spicen it up!).
EDIT: I we went back as the food was so good and I asked for Extra Spicy, and it was awesomely spicy! Almost at the edge of too spicy! WOW IT WAS GREAT! LOVED IT!!
When you order, you order a main item, and then sides. For $3.25 you get one, $5.75 2 and $7.75 for 3.
I got the Hot Cha Cha Chicken in a 1/2 size for $10.95 and 2 sides, plantains and dirty rice with black beans.
It was very tasty, and a big serving. Just not hot enough as I previously said, but so good I will certainly try it again.
Kelly got the coconut fried chicken with sweet mango sauce and jerk dipping sauce.
Again quite good. Very coconuty and sweet and tasty and great with the dipping sauces. She also got the beans which are quite good and plantains (awesome plantains).
And we got an order of the red cabbage slaw, hoping it would be like our favorite Belizean slaw, and it wasn't but still quite tasty.
Overall a very good meal for around $30 for 2 with tip, and Kelly had some to take home!
They also have some imported Caribbean drinks which we didn't try (I like bottomless refills, which you only get with fountain sodas) as well as bear and wine.
Looking forward to trying this place again and going for spicy, and they also have a branch in Santa Monica.
YUMMY!
Also had corn muffins with honey, which were great and helped to cut the incredible spice! And they cater as well.
This is one of my favorite restaurants new restaurants I have been to in a long time! THIS PLACE IS AWESOME! Can't recommend it more highly! WOW!
