The soups as soon as you open the containers, makes you gag. Look at the color of the chicken. (BLACK and Raw). Then they claim that their empanadas taste like Puerto Rico. Sorry to tell you, your empanadas are not even close to a puertorrican empanada. There's no seasoning on the meat. Like you just opened a bag of ground beef, put it in the pan and that's it. Here are some pictures so you can see yourselves. We are great cooks, we know how food tastes and looks. I give you a -10. $43.00 down the toilet. PS... If I was you, I'll close the restaurant.

Although located in a food court, which might usually give me Paws and color how I order or whether I would even eat there at all, this place is out of the ordinary, I was torn between oxtails and goat that day and decided to ask for some guidance. Very thankful for the suggestion I got to order the goat. It was so good that I demolished my food in the food court and had to go up and let them know at the end. What a great job they did not sure when I'll be back since it's quite out of the area for me, but if you're in the area, give them a go, two thumbs up!

Because we ordered through DoorDash, I was able to specify the parts of the chicken I wanted. One thing I can say, they were not stingy with the food or sides at all. The stew chicken was cooked well. For the rice and peas, they used the right type of rice (IYKYK). The Mac and cheese was not baked (with a crunchy top) but was a nice side. This was the best Jamaican food I have had outside of my home.

It's not your typical restaurant they have like 2 or 3 tables but there's old men (probably family) sitting there talking in Creole. There's no menu anywhere, so if you're not familiar with the food already you won't know. The food isn't labeled and they in the tin pans. However, the food is amazing. The piklis is so good/spicy.

It's home-cooked Haitian food, and it's worth the visit as I enjoyed my food. The service is typical of a home-cooked place: you'll get your food quickly, but this is a grab-and-go spot, not a dine-in experience. One thing to note: if you ask for anything extra, like I did for an additional scoop of rice, expect an upcharge (in my case, $5 for just one scoop). While an up charge for extra is understandable, just make sure the upcharge feels reasonable. Would recommend if you're craving authentic Haitian cuisine!

I think they're cash only but I may be wrong. The entrees all come with rice and beans and two other sides. Medium is already a ton of food (a lot of rice and beans, and they're really generous with the gravy!). My favorite sides were the candied yams and the cabbage. The entrees I tried were -brown stew chicken ($7.50 for medium) - really great; the gravy is delicious. Several pieces were super tender and fall-off-the-bone. -jerk pork ($8.75 for medium) - really like the jerk seasoning!
