Jamaican Restaurants near Lawndale, CA

“Coming from a country/mountain boy with Guatemalan and Mexican roots, let me say this is the place to eat if you’re looking for real home-cooked food made with love. From the chicken to the rice and plantains, every bite comes together with a perfect mix of flavors that’s hard to beat and gives you that same comfort and nourishment as your mom’s cooking. Ever since I tried it for the first time, it’s been my go-to spot 3–4 times a week after work. Highly recommend y’all“

“I absolutely adore the owner, Ms. Grace. A couple of years back I discovered this gem. Every single time that I visit L.A. I now make it a priority to stop in. You can’t go wrong with any of their made fresh daily menu items. Religiously, before I fly out from LAX I stop in to pick up the best food made with some much love. This place hails a special place in my heart and my belly!“

“We loved the food and the atmosphere. It made me smile to hear the cook singing in the kitchen. It made me feel like I was back home in Florida. The was the best Jamaican food I have had in California and I have been to alot over our last 13 years living here.

The staff that took our order was kind, friendly, and very helpful. What an awesome and very clean establishment.

Thanks again.“

“It’s sooooooooooooo good!“

“Within walking distance to the Kia forum. The food is good and the proportion is quite generous. The dinner choice is more limited than the menu and there was only chicken available for my dinner. Maybe you need to come at lunch or very early afternoon for other choices. If you are looking for a comfort food with affordable price in a convenient location to kia forum, check it out.“

“She is always a nice person . Food is decent but portions are a little small as far as meat is concerned . Being from the east coast we have plenty of island cuisine . And it feels good to get some in Inglewood. All she has to do is offer a bigger selection of food . Normally it's just one Jamaican dish to choose from and bean pies and the normal soups and American food . All are great. Just wish she had a bigger variety“

“It’s real deal jerk chicken! Perfectly marinated, seasoned and grilled Smokey flavor; crisp skin, tender and juicy. Escovich fish was also authentic: a whole fish freshly fried with tangy and spicy vinegar, onion and scotch bonnet sauce. The oxtails were a miss for me; a bit on the sweet side.“

“I recently had the pleasure of dining at The Guinep Tree Jamaican Cuisine, and it was an exceptional experience! The food was incredibly tasty, bursting with authentic Jamaican flavors, and the portions were generous. The restaurant was clean, welcoming, and had such a friendly atmosphere. A big shoutout to Tony for his warm hospitality, it truly made the experience even better! I highly recommend The Guinep Tree Jamaican Cuisine to anyone looking for delicious food and great vibes.

“This is the first time we had Caribbean food and it was very very good. I love the heat and all the flavors. If you want to try something different and want a taste of the islands, this is the place you have to go! We will definitely be back......delicious!!! Need to try everything else on the menu. Thank you very much!“

“A totally unassuming store front that has fantastic food.
They are grilling jerk chicken out front and you smell it the closer you get to the shop.
We got a jerk chicken platter and it was very generous portions.
Service was great, as soon as we hit the door we had contact.
Shop is small with some tables to eat in., which we did.
Must be a local favorite because everyone else walking in was taking theirs to go.“

“The curry goat and jerk salmon were good.“

“Finger Licking & Delicious!!!🤤“
