Curried Chicken Small
Jazmine S.

Had a much better experience than I did previously as far as being able to order from this restaurant with plenty options available and not yet sold out. This time, I tried the curry chicken and a side of plantains. Was not a fan of the plantains at all, as they were too hard. But the actual plate itself was very flavorful and plentiful. I ordered a small and still had left overs for later. Service was pretty slow but the lady at the front counter was polite. I look forward to trying Ochos Rios again soon.

Jerk chicken and wet mac & cheese

Delicious food with an authentic taste of Jamaica We had jerk chicken with steamed rice and wet mac & cheese, brown stew chicken rice & peas, and steamed cabbage. It's just getting off with month one under their belt so if you are looking for a taste of the Island come and eat! We will be back

Take home menu
Miguel R.

My first visit to this restaurant. This recently opened restaurant boasts a modest Jamaican menu. To say the least, I was thoroughly blown away with my meal. I had the small Curry Chicken with rice and peas and cabbage. The small serving was adequately priced at $12.99; a large portion would set you back $15.59. One word: DELICIOUS! A novel way to order; scan the QR code on the table, order, pay and your food is brought to your table. No fancy digs, this is truly a mom and pop setup that includes a DJ and karaoke on weekends. Includes dine-in and take-out. I'm looking forward to returning to have the jerk chicken and hopefully bump up the rating to 5 stars. UPDATE: Returned for lunch and had the jerk chicken and the chicken in brown gravy. We and to patronize this restaurant so it stays around. 04/14/2023

Brown Stew Chicken Small, rice, Steamed Cabbage
Michele J.

Went to Texas City Dike for the morning and boyfriend wanted TexMex on the way home. I found this little gem on Yelp and said "do you trust me?". He had the curry chicken and I had the brown stew chicken. Both were very, very yummy. Folks were very friendly. Everyone we saw was grabbing food to go, so hope they stay busy and keep serving this authentic, flavorful fare.

Fish and fries
Herbert P.

The fish was not seasoned good and the French frys was not seasoned as advertised. This is all I have to say on that.

They offer a variety of entrees that will keep you going back to try everything. I had the jerk chicken sandwich with the mac and cheese. The sandwich was delicious - I was expecting mostly meat, but there was corn and peppers that nicely complimented the chicken. The mac and cheese definitely had a little bit of a kick and also a bit of sweetness, so beware if you're sensitive to spice. Overall, all the flavors were delicious, The portions were definitely more than enough, and everything was reasonably priced. My order came out quickly, and they were very friendly! I have seen them delivering to various locations on UTMB campus, and they're also open to catering. Definitely come check this place out if you want to try some Jamaican food and support local businesses!

Alright y'all, here's an update from about 3 years ago. I finally got to go in person. It wasn't…read morebusy at all and Maria took my takeout order. I ended up getting the Oxtail plate with Rice and Peas and a double order of Collard Greens. The Oxtails this time around was very meaty, tender and flavorful. That's exactly how I like my Oxtails. I ate everything up within 15 minutes. Maria is amazing at her job, she was telling my about the live music that will be going on tonight and also offered me pepper sauce which gave this dish a bit of a kick, which I love. All in all, I will most definitely return to this establishment.

I asked for a chicken roti, they were out, and out of any roti for that matter. My husband wanted curry goat, they were out of goat. I ended up getting a beef patty and jerk wings which were too tough, I could hardly chew them. I also ordered some Collard greens which were just okay. I overheard a phone order that they were processing where the person asked for red snapper fish, they were out of that. The only fish they had available was salmon. But if you take a look at their extensive menu you would see they offer many different types of fish. And lastly, we arrived at the rice and peas (which my husband calls them being stingy on the serving size). The amount of rice given is the smallest serving size of rice and peas I've ever seen served in a Caribbean restaurant. It's not nearly enough to go alongside the rest of the food. Be prepared if you order to go, you'll probably need to order a side of rice in addition to what they give you. The service is good, it's always good, they are friendly and helpful, but it doesn't make up for what they lack in food.
