    Cowfoot Stew!!!!
    Axel H.

    My Go To Place nowadays for Jamaican Food in Trenton. I mean, who doesn't like cowfoot stew, right? I am not kidding, that was delicious. Chef Brown is a seasoned chef that makes some of the area's best Jamaican Food and his home made juices are known around the street.

    This restaurant was a clean, bright space with a good selection of Caribbean drinks and snacks…read more Maybe 5 or 6 eat-in tables as you enter. The woman who took my order was great. Ordered 4 deconstructed rotis: 2 chicken and potato, a goat and a jerk chicken. 3 with paratha root and 1 with buss up shut. All were super tasty-deep and (not too) spicy flavor, really good sized portions (it gave me 3 meals) and packed nicely. substitutes for the curried potatoes that typically go along with the meal are available. I would personally get the buss up shut variety of roti or opt for the wrapped version in the future the chickpea filling was quite messy due to my error of ripping it. A very satisfying meal nonetheless. I'm looking forward to trying some of their other offerings.

    Was back a third time and on this visit ordered the snapper plate. Holy cow, this was Awesome!!!…read moreLovely plating presentation, wonderfully prepared and so incredibly tasty. At first I was humm, how to approach a whole fish, where to start and the bones... don't even worry. I plastic fork and knife I just gently started along the back of the fish behind the head and the meat fell off the skeleton, the meat was juicy and so tasty. Just be mindful it's a fish and there are bones-- easy to see and pull out. My dish sides included rice and beans, cooked cabbage and fried plantains. Spectacular dinner.

    Scotch Bonnet Kitchen. That's the name. Sounds like a tavern where pirates might go to complain…read moreabout the price of rum and their ex-wives. But no, it's a modest little place, warm in its purpose, serious in its portions. I ordered the large jerk chicken. $16.99. That's not money, that's a gesture of kindness. The bird was a bit dry in parts, like maybe it had been waiting on the tarmac a little too long. But the flavor. Smokey like a memory of something better and layered with more character than a freshman novel. Not spicy, which some folks might see as a flaw, myself often included, but in this case I found it thoughtful. Not everything has to hurt to be honest. The mac and cheese. Well. I've suffered through bland noodles before and this was not that. This was creamy comfort served without apology. My wife agreed. And she does not toss compliments about easily when it comes to macaroni. She also had a beef patty. I watched her eat it and for a moment she was somewhere else entirely. That, my friends, is the power of pastry and spiced beef. Now the cabbage. Steamed and sweet. A dish so humble it could almost be missed. But I didn't miss it. It was lovely. A vegetable that tasted like it had read a few good books and knew how to be generous. For dessert I had banana pudding from a place called Yevette's Yummy Creations. A name like that usually sets off alarm bells in my soul. Too cute by half. But let me tell you. That pudding was the real article. Smooth. Sweet. A little nostalgic. Like a postcard from someone you forgot you loved, scented like Nila Wafers. Four stars. Not five. The chicken was dry after all. But even so. Scotch Bonnet Kitchen is a place that knows what it's doing and does it with care. That's more than I can say for most of the world. I will be back.

My grandma is very specific with what Latin American/Caribbean foods she's willing to try, apart from her own, and she has given La Casona her stamp of approval.

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. Food: 1/5 | Service: 2/5 | Atmosphere: 2/5
