I drove down to LA for a beautiful tattoo and stumbled upon this place afterwards! Friendly environment, good prices, and everything looked delicious! The Rasta Pasta was amazing and great before a 3 hour trip back home. Definitely coming back to this spot when I visit again in a month! 🩷

Stumbled upon this place after a concert on my way home. Didn’t notice the rating until after we ate. Needless to say it’s a hidden gem, we had the Jerk Chicken, Plantains and Festival. Highly recommend.

This was a really good food stop in LA, especially if you’re craving Caribbean flavors and want something with a little more personality than the usual dinner spot. The vibe is fun, the music and decor give it a good island feel, and the menu has a nice mix of jerk chicken, rasta pasta, curry, patties, rice and peas, and other comfort food. I like places that feel different as soon as you walk in, and this had that. It can be a little pricey depending on what you order, but...
