I can't wait to come back to this spot to try more dishes! I wanted everything ... ended up with the classic jerk chicken bowl, but could not resist getting some sweet plantains on the side as well. Delicious, filling, may have to use them to cater an event in the future because there just aren't other places with this kind of flavor in our area. YUM!

Great Caribbean Food! Having come from an area, where there was an abundance of Caribbean options, this place is Heaven. Rice and peas, plantains, jerks/curries, empanadas and vegetarian options....whats not to love. Cozy atmosphere as well with island vibes.

This place is one of my new favorite places after just one visit!!! I got the jerk chicken and the flavor on that was unlike anything I’ve ever had! Kudos cooks and recipe divisor! I (think) met the owner who took my order and was very helpful to align me with the perfect dish for me, prepared in the perfect manner. She was very friendly and easy on the eyes. She had no airs about her, she was palling around with the cooks like she’d known them her entire life. Her big bright smile didn’t leave her face. The quality of chicken was EXCELLENT, they’re not cutting corners like a lot of places these days. If you want a delicious, high quality meal, at a very reasonable rate- this is the place for you! I could not speak more highly of a restaurant.

Wow, wow, first time in here and I am in awe. This food is amazingly good. I had the pork skewers and my had the churrasco and I highly recommend both. I will keep coming since I only 15 minutes away. I can’t I believe I had not been here. I hope it remains open. So many places are closing down every where.

Really good Caribbean food. It’s very flavorful and the staff have been nice each time I’ve visited. I usually order to go because I’m always working. Not sure why this place isn’t more packed because it’s definitely good eats! I have had the jerk platter/plate with chicken and tri-tip, the spicy coleslaw, jerk fries with the most delicious jerk condiment, and the plantains which I love! I also had the empanadas which never made it out of the parking lot! I eat them right there. I love experiencing other foods and cultures and there aren’t a lot of Caribbean spots in Texas so this was a pleasant and much needed break from Tex-mex. lol. Again, good food, nice staff, and seems like it would be a cool environment but I just don’t eat in. I recommend!

This place was amazing in every way! The food (even vegan options retain authenticity and flavor), delicious, good portions, and unique! The owner is so kind and the atmosphere is nice!

Fantastic Caribbean food! The rice and peas are great. The oxtail is to die for. Can't go wrong with the curry goat, or jerk chicken either. We live in Santa Barbara and wish there was one here, but in the meantime we stop by every time we pass through Ventura. Do yourself a favor and have a meal or three.

Very tasty jerk. Solid menu includes vegan options along with tri tip tacos, traditional jerk chicken with rice n peas and spicy coleslaw. Jerk Burgers with fries etc. Go for a bowl or a plate or roti wrap. Sweet Plantains, corn on the cob and Mixed greens round out the menu along with a few Filipino faves. Busy Thursday - Sunday but open 7 days. Atmosphere gets 3 stars for no music. Otherwise very clean and wood tables/seats. Decent decor.
