We will definitely be back!

I'm always down to find a good local Jamaican food spot ....and I found one! Although it's a food…read moretruck, don't sleep because I've been to many food trucks that are way better than brick and mortars. When I arrived at the end of the parking lot where the truck is situated, (diagonally across the street from Justin Square), I was met by what seemed to be a family-owned and run business. Pops was in the back of the cool-looking truck smoking some meats, Momma was taking orders and serving, and Junior was was helping out. If I am correct, then Jam Rock Country Style Jerk is even more endearing to me than it already is! Ok, onto the food. So of course I have to always order my favorite go-to meal: Jerk chicken, rice and peas, cabbage, and cornbread. The small order was $10 or you can go for the large at $13. I also had to order order a beef patty and a pineapple Jamaican soda. I must say, everything was IRIE! This makes me very happy because I will be a "regular" here, so they better get to know me :) The jerk chicken was smoked well and you could just taste the wonderful smoke and spices. The rice and peas were good, not hard or soggy. The cornbread was good and I was happy to have been given a pretty large piece. The cabbage was also good. I haven't eaten the beef patty yet but it looks really good and authentic like I loved back in NYC. I really have no complaints. What put this experience over the top for me was when Momma asked me if I wanted ox-tail gravy over the rice! Ummm...YES, and MORE please!

5 Stars for great Jamaican food in Sanford that's easy for pick-up or delivery and packs TONS of…read moreflavor! Plus- Vegetarian meat options (soy-based)! I was getting together with some friends and we ordered from Negril. Luckily, a couple of my friends are Jamaican and they helped steer me to some new faves! Food I'd highly recommend: - Brown stew chicken meal with rice and peas, fried plantain, and stewed cabbage. This dish is rich and has the potential for leftovers if you're not starving. For the uninitiated, Jamaican rice and peas consist of red kidney beans and rice that's cooked in broth, coconut milk, and tons of aromatic spices. This isn't your white rice and green peas type of situation. I could have eaten this rice on its own, but add in the brown stew sauce and WOW. Also, I love the cabbage side because it adds a vinegary note that offsets the rich stew. Note: The chicken is cut up and includes bones. - Coco bread: This is a Jamaican style bun baked with coconut milk. It's especially good when paired with a patty in the middle (yes, the coco bread around the patty! Carb heaven!). - Festival: Jamaican festival is a sweet fried dough made with cornmeal, flour, sugar, salt, vanilla extract, and milk aka a dumpling. Yes this is as good as it sounds- especially for soaking up brown stew gravy! I was BLOWN away to see an entire veggie section of the menu (for online ordering) featuring soya veggie chunks (a soy based option with the consistency of chicken). That's a HUGE deal for those of us with vegetarians in the family. Overall, delicious Jamaican food that I'll definitely order again!

I recently visited Bahama Breeze with a friend after hearing the news that they would be closing…read more This has always been a place I enjoyed, so I wanted to stop in one more time before they shut their doors. It was a Friday night and the restaurant was busy. It felt like others were also coming in for one last visit, which added a bittersweet feeling to the evening. I ordered a pina colada and a pineapple coconut martini. The drinks were perfect. Cold, smooth, and exactly what I remember. I will truly miss the drinks here. They have always been one of the highlights. For food, we ordered beef empanadas, coconut shrimp, and the honey butter crispy chicken sandwich. The empanadas were not quite as good as I remembered. The filling was more soupy than before and did not have the same bold flavor I used to enjoy. The coconut shrimp was solid and consistent. The chicken sandwich tasted like it may have been cooked slightly too long, making it a bit drier than expected. Service was great, especially considering how busy they were. The staff handled the crowd well and remained friendly and attentive throughout the night. While the food was not as memorable as it once was, the experience and the drinks reminded me why this place was special. It is always tough to see a longtime favorite close.

On our way back from the airport, my wife and I decided to stop at Lelo's BBQ on Saxon Blvd in…read moreOrange City, FL--and wow, what a delicious detour! I went with yellow rice, red beans, and sweet plantains. My wife ordered the chicken combo with a side of yellow rice and yuca (her first time trying yuca!). The lady helping us (pretty sure it was the owner) was incredibly friendly and patient, guiding us through the menu like old friends. We paid, grabbed a table, and dug in. My wife took one bite of the rotisserie chicken and declared it the best she's had in ages--juicy, perfectly seasoned, and falling off the bone. No surprise there; we spotted those massive rotisserie ovens spinning away, so chicken is clearly their specialty! She then tried the yuca (boiled and crispy-edged, I assume) and loved it--said it was buttery and addictive. Her yellow rice had tasty chunks of different meats mixed in, and she couldn't stop raving about the flavor. I mixed my yellow rice (a different style from hers) with the red beans on the plate--pure comfort food heaven, rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. The sweet plantains? Outstanding. Caramelized just right, sweet but not overpowering, soft inside with that ideal crisp edge. Every bite was perfection. The place had a great vibe too--clean bathrooms, lively Spanish beats playing, and a casual, welcoming atmosphere that made us feel right at home. We're already planning our next visit to try more dishes (that mofongo and rotisserie chicken platter are calling our names!). If you're craving authentic Puerto Rican BBQ and sides done right, Lelo's is a must-stop. Highly recommend--5 stars all the way!

I ordered the jerk chicken with rice and peas, cabbage, and plantains. I also added a beef patty. Service was quick and friendly, and my food was ready without a long wait. Let me just say, this is what authentic jerk is supposed to taste like. The rice and peas were well seasoned and balanced. The cabbage was cooked perfectly, tender but not mushy. The portion sizes were generous, easily enough for more than one meal. The jerk chicken was the standout. It was seasoned to perfection, bold, spicy, and full of that signature smoky depth that defines true Jamaican jerk. The heat level was right, the flavor layered, and every bite delivered exactly what I was hoping for. The beef patty was decent, though not as memorable as the jerk. Still solid, just not the star of the meal. After trying several places in search of authentic flavor, I can confidently say I have found my new go to spot. I will definitely be back.

I've eaten all of these items in the past but Violette seems to add her own special touch to each menu item. Violette was also very sweet and friendly. A young boy was helping out which I assume was her son because they looked identical. They were both phenomenal with their customer service and they genuinely look like they love what they do.
