I'm going to give them four stars because I have visited this place enough now to form an opinion…read more I have to say this is a Spanish restaurant and I do like that every time I have made a visit it's always clean. It has enough tables for you to sit comfortably and enjoy something to eat. They have plenty of options to enjoy and for the most part, the food is really good. Although they have had some bad days where the rice was not always good. I mean the specialties. Like the rice and bean mix, or the mixed rice with veggies, etc. The customer service has not always been that great as well. I do have to say I've had more good than bad. Unfortunately it is something you get use to living in the Bronx. All that being said I'm gonna give a thumb up on this one. Happy Yelping!

Jerk Chicken (the usual) and a side of Chicken Soup--or at least, that's what the receipt said. Let's give credit where it's due: the Jerk Chicken here is the real deal. It's got that proper smoke, the heat creeps up on you, and the meat isn't dried out like half the spots in Mount Vernon. I've ordered it several times, and the bird is always solid. That's the only reason this isn't a one-star review. Because here is the problem: I ordered chicken soup, opened the lid, and found the ocean looking back at me. They sent seafood soup. Now, for some people, that's an upgrade. For me--a guy with a seafood allergy--that's a loaded gun in a Styrofoam cup. If I hadn't paid attention, this lunch would have ended in an ambulance. That is a sloppy, dangerous mistake for a kitchen to make. Come here for some of the best jerk chicken in the neighborhood, but if you have allergies, check every single container before you take a bite.

Now the food. I got the jerk chicken, rice... i feel like it had hints of coconut in it. But i was surprised by the subtle sweetness! yum yum. The jerk chicken is always good when you don't have to add sauce. i mean i had sauce on mine but there were pieces without some sauce but it was bussin! And let's talk abt that mango on my dish. I thought it was going to be a fruit french in high fructose syrup but bay-bee this mango sliceeeeee

So far I've had Oxtail, Curry Goat, Shrimp Po Boy (they serve it on coco bread and the shrimp are big, plump, and well seasoned ), Mac & Chz, (I don't usually like West Indian Mac... parents are Jamaican and can COOK so no disrespect lol but theirs is bomb, taste like southern Mac) Escovitch Fish, carrot rummy cake & the red velvet, jack Daniel wings (didn't care for the flavor) I even had their mash...I NEVER buy mash from a restaurant, and that was delicious as well, even w/o gravy. Listen, this place is SOLID. I would give 10 Stars if I could. It's so clean & bright in there too. Customer service is always great even when they're busy. I wish more people would put 1,2...or 5 dollars in the tip jar, even though it's not a dine in restaurant, these ppl are still working hard to "SERVE" us. If you're looking for Delicious Jamaican (and American -wings, burgers, waffle fries, etc) trust me go here, you will not be disappointed!

First, I told her that I was trying to reach them for three days to place an order to pick up at the end of the work week. Not one soul answered the phone. And she was smart enough not to apologize but to tell me that if she's busy, she's just not gonna answer the phone. But for three whole days though???????? But it gets better! I dared to ask her for recommendations and prices on the various items. And as I endured her rotten attitude that was swarming with maggots and decided -- against my better judgment -- to place the order anyway (ONLY because my staff wanted Jamaican food badly), I overheard her belching complaints to her coworker how she had to help me decide on items and pricing!! (Clearly, the peon forgot to put me on hold.‍). But isn't that what a professional does when selling something? Isn't that what a professional does if he/she wants to have repeat customers? For the life of me, I cannot understand why people go into business yet are absolutely clueless about how to conduct business. Needless to say, I hung up the phone. For they were not worthy of one copper penny of the $400.00 that I had to spend. I told her that I was ordering for my staff but her stupidity outweighed her ignorance. For had she been courteous and professional, she could've had continued large orders indefinitely. But unfortunately, common sense isn't common. NEVER again would I purchase there or recommend them to anyone dead or alive!!!

It's a family-owned, halal establishment known for generous portions, and it has been a community staple for over 25 years. I heard about Carifesta on social media and wanted to check it out. My daughter and I drove from Connecticut to try the food. When we arrived, the staff told me there would be a 45-minute wait. No problem. We ordered the Guyanese Chicken with Lo Mein, Jerk Chicken Sliders, and the Guyanese Fried Chicken. The Guyanese Fried Chicken was very flavorful but overfried. The chicken had a bone, and as I ate, it fell apart, which told me it was overfried. Next, I tried the Chicken with Lo Mein, and the noodles were overcooked and lacked flavor. The chicken was good and tasted like baked chicken. It had good flavor, but it wasn't out of this world. My daughter had the Jerk Chicken Sliders, and she said they were okay. She said she tasted the Jerk flavor, but the chicken lacked flavor. I'm not sure if they were having an off day, but if I'm in the area, I would give them another tryout.

Well not only was the pepper shrimp spicy but it was the best I've ever had. The shrimp was so big plumped and juicy. I didn't expect it to be nicely coated with such delicious flavor. My mouth is still watering as I write this review. I paid a little over $17, but it didn't bother me because it was fresh shrimp and veggies and of the amount of food I received was a lot. I mean they could have threw in a free small beverage to go along with it, but I wasn't mad, because this is NYC. I've paid higher prices for food that had less amounts and not even worth the price, but anyway I digress. The restaurant is quite small but big enough for you to stay and dine if you wanted. Along with great customer service, and delicious food a girl couldn't ask for anything more. Not to mention they were playing music to bop your head along with. I don't know if I would return for anything else on the menu right away because I would be hooked to buying the pepper shrimp again. When I get past that I would try something else. Overall, my meal was five stars but since I've only had one amazing item, and I don't know yet If it would be consistent , Im giving them four stars. I think they are worth visiting. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!
