    Jerk Pasta
    Rikesha F.

    I love the jerk chicken pasta from here. It's flavorful, spicy without being overwhelming and made fresh to order. If you're in a hurry, try back when you're not because most items are cooked to order and there's a wait. There's not a lot of seating (if any) inside, so be prepared to take your food to go. My mouth is watering just thinking of eating here again. Yum

    Curry Goat

    First time visiting. Good service. Food served fast and hot. I tried the curry goat and jerk pasta, both flavorful and seasoned well. I will return.

    My husband and I love Jamaican food. We recently discovered Southern Caribbean and since then we have visited 4 times over the last month. The food has been delicious every time. I've tried the jerk chicken and curry chicken. The cabbage is really good. Whenever we have been anywhere near the area we stop.

    Cayo Coco has been on my list of restaurants to try for a few months now, and I can confidently say…read morethat I'll be back soon! I genuinely could have ordered almost anything off the menu; everything sounded delicious. Unfortunately, I don't have the budget or the ability to consume every dish off the menu, so my boyfriend and I settled on splitting 2 small plates and 1 entree. What we ordered: -Smoked Fish Fritters: a Cuban delicacy. Still thinking about how good these were. Plenty to share! -Snapper Ceviche: personally not my thing, but my boyfriend loved this. I honestly wanted to like this, but the raw fish started to weird me out. -Jerk Chicken: served atop a tomato/bbq risotto that was devine. The inside here is so cozy and slightly tropical. They have a huge alcoholic selection too if that's your vibe. I'm so excited to return and try some more dishes!

    Cayo Coco restaurant missed the mark for me. I really enjoyed how the dining areas really lean into…read morethe tropical theme. I ordered the Espresso Martini ($14); it was lacking something in the flavor, but that could possibly be from me going against the grain when ordering. I had the jerk chicken, it was not a true jerk chicken ($29) it was basically grilled chicken with sauce so when expecting something more authentic it was disappointing to say the least. The tamarind caesar ($15) was also different than I expected; although I would make a trip for it, I would order it again when visiting. The best thing I tried was actually the typhoon brusssel sprouts ($12), I was very happy with them and honestly would have been okay if that was the only thing I ordered. The wait staff was great, very personable and being willing to dicuss the menu and give suggestions. Espresso Martini(Vodka-Carajillo) 7/10 flavor is not what accustomed to might have been better with the Rum normally fixed with. Tamarind Caesar- at first glance definitely not my regular Caesar. Definitely not an average Caesar the lettuce is grilled giving it a smoky flavor, caught off guard but I would order again. 8/10 Jerk Chicken- overall was a good dish first time trying farro wasn't sure what to expect made me think of oatmeal, the mango salsa and sauce on the chicken was good the chicken itself was a bit dry but still good. Overall I would give the dish a 7.5 I rarely order chicken out and I think this was a reminder why. Typhoon Brussel Sprouts- had great taste 9/10 I could come back and get a drink with the Brussels. Would consider the Star of the night The price was consistent with the area, nothing seemed overly priced. Portions were also large enough to be split so if with a group and wanting to try multiple items you would be able to do it and have enough.

The seating is limited, maybe 12 tables then you have the bar area. It is giving much new business but customer service and management training needs to be taught before operating a business. First, let me say I think the employees would have a better and easier flow of working if management would be of help and not dictate. The owners/management pulled the waitresses in every direction instead of taking orders. This made it very overwhelming for my waitress which she stated, "I don't know how much I can take of this." While taking our order, my sister asked for samosas they waiter replied they were out. We continued to order our food. The party of 2 beside us was there before us and said they had been waiting over 30 mins. We still took a chance. We sat for over 45 mins and still no signs of food. We paid for our drinks and decided to leave. We were really looking forward to it, being that we drove 3 hours to visit but we're disappointed in the long run.

My daughter ordered the cabbage, Mac n cheese and rice and peas. She thought the food was good as well. The service was outstanding. The service felt really personable and everyone was accommodating. The whole vibe was one of Caribbean. I could definitely see this being a family spot during the day and a dance spot at night. I would go back.
