“This place was recommended to me by a trusted friend. I am thankful for the suggestion. The establishment was very clean and you can smell that the moment you walk the doors. They were courteous, inviting, and attentive. Got home with my order, ate and I was very pleased with my food. Season and cook to perfection. No brunt plantains! Just done perfectly! A new favorite for Jamaica cuisine.“
“Cocina Cafe 1150 Malabar Rd. Palm Bay, FL 32907 5 Stars Looking at the name Cocina Cafe on my random name generator, I realized one thing about myself. While I dreaded going OTB, I would do so without a qualm for two reasons: good food from South of the Border and the Caribbean Sushi. First, I was taken aback by the overwhelming assault of delicious aromas attacking my olfactory organ and the staggering amount of choices when I entered. Running the gambit from beans and rice to whole fried fish the menu changes daily and does not appear to be locked into any one country or region of the globe. Don't get me wrong, it does have a heavy Latin influence, but you will also find rotisserie chicken on the menu for Mondays and Beef with Broccoli makes an appearance on Thursdays. Regretting not taking Spanish in school I was saved from any awkwardness by Zuleyka. She came to my rescue and walked me through this amazing cafeteria-style restaurant. While the choices seemed endless, I managed to narrow it down to a few of the proffered delectable. With Zuleyka ever at my side, I ordered some Roasted Pork, Fried Pork Rinds, fried red Snapper, Beef with Ziti, Beef Blood Sausage and mashed plantains. Perhaps it was because I came early, which I am glad I did, but judging by everything else, I don't think that was why everything was so fresh and delicious. As the tender, juicy piece of roasted pork in my mouth can attest, this was a far cry from your typical cafeteria. The pork was not top-shelf, but it didn't come from the bottom of the food service barrel either. It was seasoned perfectly and cooked with undeniable love and skill. The Fried Pork Rinds were nothing like the bag you can get in the chip aisle at Publix. If you've had the real deal, I don't need to tell you this. These were magnificent on the palate: crispy, light, and flavorful with just a hint of spice. Exquisito! This brings me to the plat du moment, the friend Red Snapper. I don't know how they do it; all I know is that every time I try to fry anything at home, parts are done perfectly, parts are well done, and parts are sushi. This was not the case here. The Red Snapper was fried to a mouthwatering conclusion. Moving along, I sampled the Beef Ziti. As I worked it across my palate, I couldn't help but notice that this had to be some of the most flavorful Italian-esque food I've had in any restaurant. The sauce was fresh and spicy, and I found the Ziti to be cooked perfectly al dente. Ben fatto! Forcing myself to forgo more Beef Ziti, I turned my attention to the Beef Blood Sausage. Found in nearly every cuisine on the planet, the Blood Sausage is one of mankind's oldest meals. It varies from country to country and region to region with a myriad of ingredients. I don't know what version this was; all I know is that it was extremely good. If not seasoned correctly, blood sausage can easily be overpowering or too strong for the average palate. This was not the case here. I snapped pictures of every food item along with the price. I have never discussed price in the seven years of doing over 500 reviews. I will pay any amount of money for outstanding food. As with most Americans, what we won't put up with is overpriced garbage that's been left in Wayne Szalinski's lab and has experienced "shrinkflation." I purchased enough food for 12 people and the price was...$61.00! I insisted the bill be double-checked, knowing it just couldn't be right. It was. The Big Boy says, "This may be the best food value in the county. GO NOW!!!!!"“
“One of my good friends Rick "Ti Battuer" Narcisse invited me to go with him to eat at Divine Grace Caribbean Restaurant. I had never on my 15 years (I am American don't make fun of me haha) of existence tasted such juicy foods, its like everything exploded in my mouth. I had an absolutely fantastic experience dining at Divine Grace Caribbean Restaurant. The food was truly outstanding, with a rich and authentic flavor that really transported me to the heart of the Caribbean. I tried two dishes, but my personal favorite was the fried pork with rice and beans - it was cooked to perfection with just the right balance of spices and seasonings.But it wasn't just the food that made this restaurant stand out - the service was exceptional as well. The staff were always friendly and attentive, and they went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable and satisfied with my meal.And the atmosphere of the restaurant was just as impressive as the food and service. The décor was tasteful and inviting, and the music really added to the overall ambiance of the place.Overall, I would highly recommend Divine Grace Caribbean Restaurant to anyone looking for an authentic taste of the Caribbean. Whether you're in the mood for classic Haitian dishes or something a little more adventurous, this is the place to go. So if you want to experience the true flavors of the Caribbean, be sure to check out Divine Grace Caribbean Restaurant!“
“We arrived here for lunch as a party of 6 without reservations. The service was excellent. She shared the available menu items and customized where she could. We nearly had the restaurant to ourselves and never felt rushed. The food was well prepared Haitian food. The restaurant felt like the comforts of your mothers kitchen. Serving sizes were plentiful for the rice, legume (stewed mixed vegetables), black bean soup, plantain, and rice and beans.“
“New to the Area - The food is amazing. We got the Oxtails and Fried Chicken dinners. The portion sizes were BIG. We are looking forward to going back later this week to get some Fried Fish. Thank you Rose for the amazing home cooked food and best customer service.“
