Angela’s is a hidden gem! Her food is made from scratch and everything tastes amazing. The empanadas are my favorite with the sauce - it’s like nothing else! I crave it!! Go for the lunch special.

Wow, I have not had Caribbean food in awhile. This place did not disappoint. Her chicken falls off the bone and is packed with amazing flavor. Don't forget to grab some plantains. If you like it spicy make sure to get her spicy salsa dipping sauce.

Really good Jamaican pattys. Good size. Great j*** and curry chicken flavors and mine came piping hot out of the kitchen. Fresh fresh. All the sides excellent also. Very flavorful and a good value for lunch and dinner. This is type of dish at the potluck you get seconds... thirds.. fourths of. Delicious. Flavor bombs.will be back.

Cabbage didn't have a taste. I was hoping for a good Caribbean's taste! There's no southern or or Caribbean in the area..

First experience here and hopefully not the last! Empanadas were great size and made to order - sides were delish - and loved the rotating empanada filling options. What’s more, this is as small business as it gets! In fact, Angela herself served up my tasty lunch. Just ignore the other places and go straight here ;)

The owner and chef is amazing! She is welcoming, and makes a wide variety of foods with a range of spice levels. Best of all, this is super appropriate for kids! There are loads of veggies, and other simple one ingredient dishes. It really is a gem to find something so tasty and healthy in a mall food court.Vegetarian options: Loads exists.Kid-friendliness: Very appropriate.

You are doing yourself an injustice if you eat anywhere else in the food court. Food made with love… Definitely what the mall has been missing!!! Make sure to try the empanadas. If you like spicy food add a little bit of the spicy cabbage… Thank me later ???

The food was delicious everything was fresh and homemade .. The j*** chicken fell right off the bone . The cabbage and plantains were very tasty. This Not your normal restaurant you find in the mall .. looking for some Soul& Caribbean food This the place Go!

I ordered the empanada lunch and the j*** chicken dinner so we could get a variety of side dishes. Absolutely love the beef and cheese empanadas. The fried dough was crispy and the filling very tasty with just a hint of heat. The cabbage was still a bit crispy, just the way I like it. We also had the black beans, red beans and seasoned rice with fried plantains. All were well prepared and not salty as I've had at some other Caribbean restaurants. The j*** chicken was juicy and not too spicy. Angela's Caribbean will be on our carry out rotation!

Oh my gosh, I work in the mall and can't believe I haven't tried their food before. Amazing service, perfect food! Try the sweet potatoes and empanadas.

I wanted to try but they weren't open with the other food court places at 11. I guess they open later. So i waited and 10 minutes after 12 they had their lights on but said they weren't ready yet Bummer. I'll update this if I ever try their food.

I had the j*** chicken, spicy rice, red beans and mac n cheese. Glad I took the drive. I was definitely surprised that it was in a mall but definitely worth the trip. Everything was good and felt welcomed when the young lady greeted me.
