    Veggie patty & Juice
    Raya V.

    Stopped by when I was at the Cookies in this plaza. Got a quick veggie Patty and a beef patty for my bf. We also tried the strawberry pineapple mango juice but I tasted a hint of ginger in it although it wasn't listed as an ingredient. Service was fast and the ppl in there work really hard. The ambiance is chill and there is also indoor seating. The Patties were tasty, but not enough filling for the price. But idk I'm from NY and I can get some pretty stuffed Patties for $3/pop tops. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area.

    Veggie hot pocket- pretty good and hot

    Good spot for quick hot pocket food - 4$/each. Chicken, beef, veggie options- all good.

    Jerk Chicken

    Walking into Aretha's I KNEW it was gonna be good. Really friendly and attentive. I ordered a medium jerk chicken meal and couldn't even eat half because the portions are huge. Great value. The chicken was amazing, the Mac n cheese was incredible. All around great meal and experience. Would def recommend!

    What an awesome hidden gem. My friend and I came here after another place we wanted to check out was closed, and I'm glad we did! You really get great value for your money, the portions are great. I got a medium jerk chicken, and god it was good. Great spice, chicken was nice and tender and not overcooked, Mac and cheese was bomb, so were the veggies. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes! Also congrats to the girl who graduated today! Haha.

    AMAZING food! I was so excited when I saw a local Jamaican restaurant popped up. One of the best Jamaican meals that I have ever eaten (not exaggerating). Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Portion size was perfect as well. Will absolutely be visiting often, and spreading the word!

I often gauge the attention to detail with an establishment by the cleanliness of the restroom. Theirs was absolutely spotless and even smelled fragrant! That's a great indicator. Furthermore, anytime I get Jamaican cuisine it's like a good Italian restaurant with a litmus test. For Italian, it's calamari; for Jamaican it's the jerk chicken. Mama Mia did they hit a homerun. However, I also got an order of the curry chicken for a rounding of the flavor bases. PRO TIP-get the traditional rice and peas, ask for the ox tail sauce over the top. NEXT LEVEL! Both chicken dishes were slow cooked and maxed out with flavor. The heat level of the curry was actually a little more than the jerk. Regardless, they both hit the mark. Highest recommendation! Bon appetite! PS-super friendly service and staff.

The rice was flaky and not over cooked, the chicken was seasoned very well, the cabbage was my fave, cooked perfectly and sweeeet. And last but not lease the plantains was overripe, which is PERFECT. I will be going back next time I'm in town.. Ps. The in-house punch made daily is very very good toooo! . Enjoy people.

There is a small stocked bar (another time... when NOT working!) Started with the fresh squeezed juice. DELICIOUS!... then ordered the fried cheese appetizer. It came out plated beautiful. Actually, everything was plated for a beautiful dining experience, and this was LUNCH! I bit into the cheese with the homemade guava sauce and kept repeating OMG...OMG...OMG! I couldn't believe how tasty. Then, for my meal, i ordered pork chops, arrow con gandules (rice with pigeon peas), and salad. Just look at the pictures! There's edible GOLD on the pork chops and the tomato on the salad. More OMG's as I cut into and ate the pork chops. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and yet with edges of crispness. There was too much to eat at one time, and my greediness got to me. I ordered the appetizer for 1-3 people to go. Pork, chicken, mufungo, tostones, empanadas, salad, and seafood with their accompanied sauces. I'm at home now... I just reheated and fed 3 people off of it with plenty leftover for snacking later. Everything was soooooo wonderful. I can't wait to go again... next Thursday if I can!!!

Being such a famous restaurant we expected the best , our friend first time in Puerto Rico so we wanted to show them our tipical PR food. First our waiter seemed like he did not want to be there, second we ordered the food an it took forever (over an hour and a half), and lastly when the food got to the table it was cold, it seemed like it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a while. The womens bathroom was pathetic!!! I have never seeing something like that (other than a porto-potty) the trash was full to the top, and the floor had more trash than the trashcans, and toilet, forget it!! I cannot describe the condition they were in.
