I'm not a fan of rice and peas but after visiting jerk center I'm addicted. The festivals were incredible. The service was fast and the food was fresh. I went in to place an order for takeout the restaurant was clean and the service was amazing, the young girls at the front were extremely polite and friendly. It was a nice surprise to see dumpling in the oxtail almost like finding an onion ring in your fries lol. I will be going back again and again and recommending to all of my friends. The oxtail fell off the bone and food was seasoned to perfection.

Authentic Jamaican eats located in a old strip plaza.

This place is nothing fancy and building looks a bit dated. However the service was fast and the food was good.

It's the definition of a hole in the wall restaurant. Definitely authentic and hardy.

I’ve been coming here for over a decade and the food never disappoints. The aesthetic of the restaurant is great and feels authentic. Normally, I get the curry goat or the jerk chicken, but today I got the oxtail - it was so tender and delicious. Everything is cooked to perfection with the right amount of spices, giving the food many different layers of flavor. Portion size on lunch is very fair.

Do yourself a favor and swing in to grab a bite after a long day spent relaxing on the beach. You won’t regret it!

I saw this restaurant on the cashback app Upside and went to check them out. I was in the market already for a new Jamaican restaurant. It’s very spacious inside and lively with the music. Marvin is a cool guy and I had a great time conversing with him. The food portions were abundant and I got a lot of bang for the buck. I’ll definitely be back.

Cayo Costa Shop

The meal was almost $20, I asked for white meat thinking I would get a breast and a wing and I only got some chopped up white meat that was a day-old because it was cold. They didn't have any cabbage so they gave me a plate for the rice and three overcooked plantains. My food wasn't even hot after waiting 20 minutes after placing the order 10 minutes ahead of time.

And yes I did talk to the person that served me over the phone and he said he will replace my meal next time I came by. I just said okay. I'm not in that area often so it's no telling when the next time I will be there. The point is I have to be honest about the food I received yesterday. This is my second time eating and your establishment and the very first time I died in and it was excellent. And I think I did a review on that meal as well. I'm very honest about my food reviews. I would never bash your service or your establishment by being dishonest about my services or the food I received.
