My permanent date, who has been to Jamaica and pronounced her jerk chicken absolutely authentic. I, who hasn't been to Jamaica, was delighted with the oxtails. As I was working with a plastic fork, there was a bit of using my fingers to pick the meat off the bones, which was completely worth it. She had to caution me to pause, as the quantity of rice and beans is more than any single person should eat in one sitting. Survey. Helpful hint: get a small if you don't want leftovers, but the large will make for a nice lunch the next day. Also, this place gets five stars despite not having sodas on tap. The joint is too small for that amenity, but they do have some Jamaican sodas in a fridge which looked delightful.

My bf loves Cubanos and he speaks highly of this place and says this is as close as we can get to…read moreCuban food in Miami. I wouldn't know, I've never been. He ordered his usual, a Cuban sandwich and I decided to go with the Pan Con Lechon. And for an extra treat, I got a stuffed potato ball with the beef filling. I thought the portion of the sandwiches was a good size! I only had room for a quarter of my sandwich. My bf only ate half, which is surprising because he always has an appetite! Or... maybe he just wanted to enjoy the other half later for dinner lol. I will say, the sandwiches are perfectly pressed and came out freshly hot. My sandwich specifically was just shredded pork. It seemed more on the dry side? I'm not sure if that is how it is supposed to be. It's still good and I still ate everything, I think I enjoyed it more later on in the day after reheating it, haha. Which, is a good sign It comes with fries and a container of the green sauce. I was a little bummed that it came with French fries and not Yucca fries not sure if we have to specifically ask for that. But only thought we would get Yucca fries because of the pictures outside the window. I also feel like one container of the green sauce is only enough for maybe half the sandwich. It's so good, wish it came with more sauce. I have no complaints regarding the potato ball. 5/5 for me! There are tables outside the shop if you wanted to eat there. Would I come back to this spot? Absolutely! I would love to try the other items on the menu such as their pastries! Next time I am back in Chula Vista, I may have to make a stop to pick up some goodies. Also, the young lady running the counter, you have terrific customer service.

This place is very efficient and the food came out very quickly. **Dont ask for straws because they did away with it to protect the environment. Pretty cool. They said they will eventually get rid of styrofoam too. They do not sell alcohol here. Seafood and beer goes well together but not here. (Sad emoji) We ordered the aguachiles which was very good, a ceviche tostada with fish and shrimp which was ok, and a seafood platter which was pretty good. There are better places but if you want a quick fix, this is your place to go. You will be seated under a patio setting so if the weather is nice, then you will be fine. If the weather is hot, you will feel it. Another thing that bothered me was the flies. You have to constantly shoo them away. I came to try it but I personally wont be back.

I called my order in ahead of time and was told it would be about an hour. When I arrived, I only ended up waiting another 5-7 minutes, and once my order was being prepared, the food came out within about 10-15 minutes. The staff was friendly and efficient. The service felt like what you'd expect from a traditional Jamaican restaurant: no frills, just straightforward and to the point. The location itself is small and has that classic Jamaican shack feel. The doors were open, letting in the breeze, and you could smell food cooking on the grill out back. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but it wasn't a major issue for a takeout order. While this isn't my top Jamaican spot in San Diego, I wouldn't rule it out completely. If I was craving Jamaican food and happened to be nearby, I'd consider stopping by again and trying something different from the menu.

Everything is flavorful and satisfying, and I usually order it to go. The only downside is the price. It's always been on the expensive side, but seeing one oxtail plate go up to $31 (+tax) makes it hard to justify coming here as often as I used to. The quality is still there, but the higher price means it'll probably be more of once a year meal. One thing to be aware of is that there's a surcharge even when paying with a debit card. Legally you're not supposed to add a charge when using debit card but I paid it anyways. It was an unexpected charge that other customers may want to know about. Ambience was okay. Service was nice. Overall, the food is delicious and worth trying, but between the rising prices and the added card surcharge, I'll likely be visiting once in a blue moon.

The food truck is parked in a food truck lot, alongside non operational trucks so its easy to miss. There are several different food truck lots on this road so using maps was confusing. We had to circle the street several times before finally locating their truck. We tried not to let the location turn us off, but the food certainly did. We ordered a large jerk chicken which came with rice & peas with plantains. The chicken was large and extra meaty (the kind that is overly pumped with hormones). The flavor just wasn't there, as if it wasn't marinated at all. The rice & peas were bland as well, and lacked that shelly goodness. The icing on the cake was the fact that we ordered a pineapple juice but was given a cucumber juice with 95% crushed ice and 5% actual juice. We tried to go back to exchange but the owner was no where to be found. If you've never had Jamaican food before then you may find this place decent. Definitely not for someone who is familiar with the tastes and true flavors of Jamaican Cuisine.
