Jerk'd Kitchen was a pleasant surprise! I first stopped here after visiting someone in the hospital…read morenearby, and the food really impressed me. The flavors reminded me of authentic Jamaican food I've enjoyed in Jamaica and The Bronx. I ordered goat with cheddar mac and cheese and mashed potatoes, plus potato salad. Everything was tasty, flavorful, and hit the spot. I was glad to find them on Uber Eats and ordered delivery again when I was farther away. Unfortunately, their availability on the app seemed inconsistent, and the prices made repeat orders hard to justify. I don't remember the restaurant's in-person pricing, so I can't say whether ordering directly is a better value. Based on my Uber Eats experience, though, it's more of an occasional treat than a regular order. If you're craving good Jamaican food, Jerk'd Kitchen is worth trying. The flavors are the highlight!

This is as close to home cooking as there is. It's well-worth a try. Their menu is enormous and…read moremost of it is really good. Customers are spoiled for options. Their baked goods appear to be made from scratch by someone. The offerings are not consistent. The catfish is exceptional, for instance, but the short ribs and meatloaf were bland and likely purchased from a cafeteria purveyor which they merely reheat. The collards and cabbage are wonderful but once or twice, too heavily handed with salt. Given the cost of food lately, their prices have risen accordingly. What used to be a relatively reasonably priced, nutritious and satisfying meal may have become only an occasional, rather than regular treat.

But the food is so unpalatable I hope you choose otherwise. The string beans and greens are soggy flavorless slop. The mac and cheese overly salted. The so called caribbean dishes are a joke.

A Taste of Island Spice 1287 Teaneck Rd…read more Teaneck, NJ 07666 Jerk Chicken Lunch Special Spinach Patty This locally owned Caribbean restaurant is located along the Teaneck Road strip. After passing it numerous times, I decided to explore one of their lunch options. Spinach Patty: Initially, I was reluctant to try a vegetarian patty. As soon as I took my first bite, I immediately took a liking to this appetizer. The spinach filling was warm and tasty. And the outer crust had a slight crunch. Jerk Chicken Lunch: The chicken was tender and juicy with a mild kick. The outer skin was seasoned perfectly. Also included were two miniature cups of jerk sauce (not pictured). The reddish colored dip was great for dipping the chicken, rice & peas and even the spinach patty. I was grateful the sauce was not poured over the meal; then it would have dried up. The indoor dining area is limited to high top counters and a few outdoor dining tables. Island Spice does not have their own parking lot, but plenty of parking is available on local side streets. There is also a free municipal parking lot a few blocks away. This location may be a hole in the wall, but the Caribbean food is outstanding and you will definitely get an authentic "taste" of Jamaica. #caribbeanfood #atasteofislandspice #jerkchicken #spinachpatty #jamaicanpatty #teanecknj

So I went to the O.G. location, where I learned that one spun off to a different owner. I always appreciate O.G. so I'm glad to find that this one is thriving in Passaic. A little off the beaten track, Leña does offer a parking lot if the street is full. Not too crowded inside - well, see my photos - they sat me at a nice large table of my own and brought over that delicious large corn with spicy green sauce. I don't know the names, but this is delicious. The waitress happily walked me through the menu options and, being Ecuadorian, informed me to what was the most traditional here. I went with Tacu Tacu con... technically Pechuga. * Purple drink: Delicious, authentic, large glass, fresh made, fruity and refreshing. Guy at the other table had a whole pitcher and I might have wanted that over just one glass! * Side of fried cassava: Was told that's how Peruvians like it, and that matches my South American recollection. Delicious with that green sauce. * Tacu was on top of a large fried rice patty. Well, not really a patty, it just broke apart into delicious bites bursting with flavor. Wonderful and authentic. * Tacu chicken itself was pounded thin but seasoned so nicely I couldn't put it down. * Large meal accompanied by lettuce and onions. Even those were somehow delicious - okay, more green sauce was used - but my plate exited my possession completely empty. Wish I had room left to try the dessert, the flan or coco version thereof, but too full of delicious Peruvianism. Glad this was on my must try list, glad I chose this location - I'll be back!
