I was visiting Tampa and decided to stop by—and let me tell you, I did the happy dance! I ordered the oxtails with peas and rice, and it came with steamed veggies (cabbage and carrots) and sweet plantains. Every single bite was bursting with flavor. The oxtails were tender and seasoned to perfection, the rice had the perfect texture, and they did not skimp on the gravy! The entire plate felt like a warm hug from the islands.
When I first walked in, I didn’t expect it to be such a small spot, but it smelled like an island home and truly did not disappoint.
The only reason I’m giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the person at the counter wasn’t very service-oriented—no “hello” or “how can I help you,” and I’m big on friendly service. But honestly, with food that good, they could say nothing and I’d still come back. Total cost about $19
I’ll definitely be returning next time I’m in Tampa!

Definitely a hole in the wall you would miss if you weren’t looking for it. Mike & Velma are very sweet.. Very nice fair portions, fair pricing (in my opinion, especially given the quality / location) and it’s always nice to know you are supporting people of your shared community. Make sure to tip for extra appreciation!
