Louis Chavarria: Chicken was a bit salty, but the plantains and yucca are killer! The combos are kinda pricy, so be prepared to spend about 10 bucks a combo if you want to try both yucca and plantains.
Aimee Rhodes: Amazing! Try the yucca fries or plantains. If its your first time ask for a sample of the sides. The chicken delightful. They even have Inca cola
Skylar Buffington: Pour a little of the green salsa on the mac & cheese. So tasty!
Scott Boone: oxtail that melts in your mouth, moist jerk chicken that packs a punch, and deliciously sweet plantains!
Jack Holt: All good. We liked the curry better than the jerk but the jerk is great too. Rum cake for a happy surprise from Tony was nice and it might have stolen the show.
Monesha: You will not find a better Jamaican spot ever!!! Great service and food!

Simi F.: Had the duck taco and lamb taco with plantanos on the side. Both tacos healthy servings of meat. The lamb was super tasty and well seasoned. Wish I got more plantains.
Sebastian K: The Camaron Relleno was amazing. Great value for money.
Austin Chronicle: Love the folk art-festooned interior, but the rooftop patio with Downtown view can’t be beat. Try the tangy guacamole al chipotle, served with a smoky chipotle crema and crunchy sunflower seeds. Read more.
