I don't think i've had jerk chicken before and i think i came to the right place to try it out…read more... When we walked in, it was only people of color, so that indicator probably meant that i was in for a good authentic meal. The interior had multiple tables spreads around and on the right side of the building it was where the people were taking orders and preparing the food to take to your table. We ended up getting coco bread, chicken stew and half jerk chicken with fries. The stew came with two side dishes, so we ended up getting rice&peas and collar greens. The jerk chicken only came with fries but it was only 13 bucks. you do have the option to get jerk chicken with two sides, but that would have been 19 dollars. The coco bread was really fully and if you dip it into the stew chicken, it takes it to another level. Both dishes were excellent and the kick on the jerk chicken was spicy but not too bad where you couldn't enjoy it. Service was great, and they were friendly. Located right behind the McDonalds. All in all, i'll come back if i'm in the area.

I've passed by The Island Spot so many times at Midway and Trinity Mills and never stopped in--but…read moreI'm really glad I finally did today. I came in for lunch and ordered the jerk chicken lunch special with beans and rice and a side salad. The chicken was incredibly tender--fall-apart, melt-in-your-mouth good--and packed with flavor. Fair warning, it definitely brings the heat! It's on the spicy side, but in the best way possible. Absolutely delicious. The atmosphere adds to the whole experience. There was lively music playing, colorful decor throughout, and a beautiful Jamaican beach mural that makes you feel like you've stepped out of Texas for a minute. And of course, you'll spot Bob Marley on the walls, which just feels right. My server mentioned they've been around for about 15 years, and you can tell--it's a solid, well-loved local spot. Great food, fun vibe, and a place I'll definitely be coming back to.

My husband and I love jerk chicken. We used to go to two caribbean places in CA, so when we moved…read morehere, we wanted to look for one close by to us. I always get their jerk chicken. Their jerk sauce is a little on the spicier side and sweeter than the ones we're used to in CA, but I guess every caribbean spot has their own take on the jerk sauce. I always get the jerk chicken with saffron rice and steamed spinach. Their chicken is super consistent and always juicy, which I appreciate. We bring everyone we know to this spot and they all have a great time. Their drinks are made pretty strong and there are a 2 limit drink per person for some. We definitely recommend this place! Shout out to SASHA! We've known her for 2.5 years because the first time we came here was 2.5 years ago! She is the best waitress and very attentive. We love her!

I have no idea where I first heard about this place, but I'm so glad I found it…read more Right after we ordered, the server brought over what looked like simple grilled pieces of bread. I was trying to save room for the main course, but there was something so delicious about those unassuming little bites. They were warm, slightly crisp, and completely addictive. We came specifically for the lunch specials, and they did not disappoint. I had my eye on the Piccadilly, a flavorful mix of ground meat with spices, potatoes, and what I believe were raisins and olives. It comes with white rice and black beans, but you can have them mixed together, which is absolutely the way to go. The combination of savory and slightly sweet flavors was fantastic. My only small wish is that it came with a few more sweet plantains on the side. My husband ordered the Cuban sandwich, which comes with a side. We chose fries and iced tea, and they generously brought us BOTH large iced teas. The sandwich itself was huge, easily big enough to take half home. It was perfectly grilled, warm, and melty. If I could change one thing, it would be to make the bread a bit smaller while keeping all that delicious filling. This place is also a great value. Definitely worth stopping by and checking out.

The ambience is cozy with cuban music playing. Service was a little slow but the food was excellent. We ordered a variety of plates to share and everything was great: -arroz con pollo- takes a little time to make it fresh but so worth the wait! it was amazing. -bistec de palomilla- a little over cooked but great flavor. -cuban sampler- highly recommend to sample a bunch of stuff. -side of platanos- a classic -flan- very good -dulce de leche- a little too soggy for my taste -mojitos were excellent! We had a great girls' night here and will definitely be back again!

Trinilicious is Trinidad style cuisine which was my first time trying it. Sintra, who is also the owner, was working the lunch counter and was happy to point out what each dish was on the counter ready to serve. We ordered the curry goat and got rice and beans as the two sides amongst many other side options. This was probably the best thing we ordered as the goat was falling off the bone tender and the curry was not greasy or oily and complemented the goat perfectly. We also ordered the bake and salted fish which is salt fish inside a pocket sandwich that's almost like a pita bread but it was way more fluffy and buttery than pita. I love salted fish and this really hit the spot. I also ordered the doubles watch was a chickpea curry inside roti I think. It was so flavorful and Sintra recommended the spices to add to it based on my answers to a few questions about my spice preferences. For drinks we ordered Mauby tea and the beetroot with carrot juice. Mauby was explained to me as a type of tea from the bark of a tree amongst other spices. It was sweet but not overly sweet and I tasted fennel/anise which I love because it gives a licorice taste to it. Beetroot with carrot juice was also blended with other spices but was very fiber heavy from the carrot so it was close to a smoothie texture or blended veggie shake, however it was sweet and maybe had coconut milk in it or some regular milk. We preferred the Mauby. I can't wait to try other things on the menu. There was a fancy looking Mac n cheese and curried potatoes that looked amazing. There's also a couple more milky tea drinks and a hibiscus style tea to try. A few tips before you get there. Keep in mind it is a small restaurant and would probably be difficult to bring a group larger than 4 because of limited seating but they can probably combine tables if you call ahead. Parking situation is easiest to just park in the back as the front was packed with the neighbor's business customers as well .

We arrived at 7:20 PM and it is now 8:31 PM -- and we still have not received our food. This…read moreexperience has been beyond frustrating. When we first walked in, we stood at the front door for about six minutes with no acknowledgment from any staff. It became obvious no one was coming to seat us, so I had to walk toward the back and ask someone if we could be seated. That should have been the first red flag. After finally being seated, it took nearly twenty minutes for someone to come take our order. Now, over an hour later, we are still sitting here without food. No updates. No apologies. No sense of urgency. This level of service is completely unacceptable. Waiting over an hour for food without any communication is ridiculous. Unfortunately, this was a very disappointing experience, and I would not recommend this restaurant based on the service alone.

When we go on vacation we try as many spots as we can but if a place is good enough, sometimes we…read morego twice. This place is truly special. Very close to my foodie heart . First time ordered light to go: congri (cuban rice mixed with black beans) and patacones (smashed up double fried green plantains). My expectations were low. The congri was a religious experience. I've only had congri this good another time in my life and that was home cooked by a Cuban friend. This congri is better than anything in Miami. It's better than Versailles and it's probably the best congri in the world . I come from Ecuador and plaintain runs thru my veins. That I know of Cuba is not known for excellent patacones. But these were up there with the best I've ever had. And trust me that's high praise coming from an Ecuadorian. Second time we came we ate light at the restaurant: 2 cheese empanadas, a cuban coffee (that espresso thimble thing) and a mojito cocktail. The cuban coffee was the best I've ever had but I'm biased bc he put a little sugar in it and it was deep and perfect. My wife who is half Cuban likes it straight (no sugar). The mojito was good but it needs a little work. For the best mojito ever go to Miami's Cafe Versailles. The lovely waitress who waited on us was attentive and even offered to take a picture of us. Met the owner/chef and he shared some of his incredible life story. I'll respect his privacy but he had to go to epic lengths to achieve his American dream. We ordered $100 of food to go. The pork cuban tamal was infused with pork flavor to the max. The sanduche Cubano would be something that fit right in Miami. His Ropa Vieja is right on par with my wife's ropa vieja which I consider better than any I've had in ANY restaurant including Versailles and La Carreta. These guys are so lovely and authentic that I don't think they even speak English. But don't fret, bring your Google Translate and be treated to some of the best Cuban food anywhere. I really loved this place and I really love these guys. Like the owner said: "trato de dar lo mejor de mi" = I give the best of myself from the heart . That's my kind of place. Can't wait to go back
