I had jerk chicken and bammi here. Very warm and friendly Jamaican staff with a great food variety. My chicken was cooked to perfection, and I will visit again for sure. Nice music was playing, and the atmosphere was welcoming. There is a bar, and it looked well stocked. The space is open and airy with everything themed just like yaad! Great job! On my second visit, we ordered escovitch fish with rice and peas and bami. Back to back home runs as this fish was very pleasing.
I’m originally from the east coast, Philly to be exact and there are so many Jamaican restaurants that are really good. I’ve tried about 5 different Jamaican and/or Caribbean restaurants out here in the Bay Area and Minto’s was by far the best. The food is really good, there’s even a bar if you need an alcoholic beverage. I love their oxtails, my pictures show me dining in, as well as ordering takeout.
I had a really tasty lunch here with a friend and it was hard to hear each other over the loud music playing in there but otherwise an overall good experience. Not very busy at lunchtime, I’ll say that! The fried plantains were incredible.
