    I heard about this place, saw the food and added it to my try list and I finally made it. It is tucked away in a shopping center I actually rode by it the first time but this spot is a gem. Upon enter we was welcomed in and the young lady who took the order was very kind and patient as we looked over the menu. We told her it was out first time and she told us how her aunt owned the restaurant and it's a family business. We had heard about the $10 fish sandwich that they do on Fridays and decided to go with that. (The $10 deal is only during certain times so check before going) The fish was fresh, hot and made to order. I haven't had a good fish sandwich in the dmv in but the one I had from here AMAZING!! To drink I had the Ginger Lemonade, the ginger was a little strong but it didn't bother me because I like ginger. Let's go support this business give them a try! I just may go back every Friday ! Lol!

    Beef patty
    Rihanna N.

    Second time I been to this place since the take over First time fried oysters/or mussels was fried to death! No life after or flavor Half and half tea was bomb Today I ordered a beef patty with 2 drinks. Line was long so I decided to order something quick Drink 1 which was the blueberry lemonade was too sweet And drink 2 I got the half and half again all I could taste was tea bag But let's get the the beef patty , dry , spicy and hard I have pictures to prove they have to do a lot better with the food quality, line was out the door but you have the female owner eating on the fry line instead of getting the orders out, it was about 10 order people on the store waiting to order or already ordered. The young teenage on the register did a fabulous job I jus think they need to slow down and actually pay attention to orders

    Fried whiting

    Delicious! Great portions and food quality. Ordered the fish sandwich and bacon egg and cheese croissants. If you love croissants or bodega style breakfast sandwiches. You'll enjoy theirs. The fried fish sandwich was what I think of when I want a fried fish sandwich. The way it should be fried This is a family business which I also love. Service is always on point. If there's a mix up they are on it about correcting it. Always greeted with a smile. We usually pick up our orders but the inside is cute as well for a quick bite.

    There was bones in the Whiting. Rice and peas was not seasoned. Disappointed for the price.

    Staff is friendly, nice set up on the inside. Service was fast. The oxtail were tender but could have used more gravy. Jerk chicken sandwich was very good. I would come again to try more options.

    Curry chicken sandwich

    The food was awesome. The restaurant is so cute inside very chill and clean and their customer service is superb! The curry chicken sandwich is 10/10! Anything was good my favorite was the sandwich.

    I'm usually next door getting my hair washed for a little while so I decided to grab a quick bite to eat for my wait. I decided on the chicken patty and blueberry lemonade. Let's start with the lemonade, talk about sweet! A large lemonade was less than $3 and taste amazing if you really enjoy lemonade as I do. I figured the patty might be a little spicy so the sweet could take out some of the spice. Well I was right, the chicken patty tasted great but I had to take a few breaths between bites before I could finish it. The customer service was reasonable. I was in and out in less than 5 minutes. I would visit again I would also suggest asking about spice level prior to ordering. Parking is great, they are located in a shopping center with ample parking fro all customers and you can usually parking is FREE!

    Caribbean Superior is a food truck that has 2 locations, and we picked up some food to go for…read morelunch. The menu offers breakfast, apps, entrees, soup, seafood, and pasta, but you really need to focus on their super cheap weekday lunch specials, where you can choose from Jerk Chicken, Curry Chicken, or Stew Chicken for $8! I went for the Jerk Chicken, in which I had rice and beans, cabbage, and cocoa bread - there was a generous amount of chicken, but the pieces were just chopped haphazardly, so you'll be biting down in some shattered bones. The chicken itself was juicy with some good spice on its exterior, but the flavors could have permeated more throughout. The rice and beans didn't have much flavor, and the cabbage was just okay. The cocoa bread was super greasy and fluffy, but i felt that this addition wasn't really necessary. Food could have been more piping hot, considering we consumed it pretty much right away. I wish that some hot sauce came with, just to spruce it up a bit. Note that the wait could take a bit, as they do have long lines during the lunch rush! +$8 weekday lunch specials

    This food truck has started popping up around my office lately. A coworker told me about it, and I…read moreinitially looked for it and couldn't find it. But now I seem to find it conveniently on 19th whenever I'm walking over there! Right now they're there on Mondays and Thursdays -- I recall searching for them on other days, but I didn't see them at the locations their website said they would be. But since it's been consistently coming to 19th Street, I have had the opportunity to have it twice, and I had the JerkBowl each time. The chicken comes off the bone so easily, and it is indeed JERKED! It's got a great taste, and the yellow rice it comes with compliments it very well. I will be trying their mac and cheese and greens in the near future, hopefully. I hope that they continue to get great business because this is food that should not be ignored! They seem to also actively become familiar with their regulars and they're super polite.

    I FINALLY got to this spot!! It's been on my list of "Go To's" for a second now. Good people let me…read moretell you...I'm so very glad that I went!! Located at 6120 Marlboro Pike., District Heights M.D. nestled between a tattoo parlor, and a couple other stores you'll find @luvplatesgrill with their beautifully designed black & orange signage!! This spot is momentarily take out only, they accept cash, and credit/debit, and they also have catering available. Their menu is concise, simple, and effective. They have sizable bowls like their DC Gumbo (with turkey sausage, and hormone free chicken $15), and their Homestyle Jerk Chicken (24 hour marinated wings smothered over red beans & rice $15). They also have some signature sandwiches like their "Jimmy Blue"(Maryland lump crab cake $20), and their "Fall off the Bone"(24 hour LuvRub-Ribs-w/BBQ sweet sauce $10). The sides include their World Famous Mac n Cheese (pictured-$8 reg. size), "Mamas Greens"(pictured-$8 reg. size), and their flavorful Red beans & Rice ($4 reg. size). On this trip I copped their Mac n Cheese, a Homestyle Jerk chicken sandwich (pictured-$6 on potato bread), and their 3 for $20 deal where I chose the Pan-seared Salmon ($3 extra), Mamas greens, and the 24 hr. Jerk chicken with the Red beans, and rice. So I started by dipping into the greens...FRESH, and seasoned to perfection!! I then took a bite out of the jerk chicken sandwich...I didn't want to stop!! It was glistening with flavor, a hint of bbq mixed with the jerk made for a tasty sandwich. Then I put a fork to the jerk wings, and watched the meat fall off the bone right into the red beans and rice. Spiced right, savory...it hit the spot. So I'm not a huge Salmon fan, but their pan seared fish with peppers, jerk sauce with a hint of bbq...made me a bigger fan!! Deliciousness!! Lastly I tackled that Mac n Cheese...I was leery via the price, and the "World Famous" title. When you go...GET IT...it's worth it. Customer service was phenomenal, they patiently explained their meals, and spotlighted the freshness of their food (which you can definitely taste). Parking is tricky, it's a very small lot they share. GO!! TRUST!! That's it.
