First time trying Jamaican food! I’m Mexican so I wasn’t sure what to expect. Sean and Sharon really hooked me and my friend up! Really nice people. Made us feel at home 🙏🏼 We got 3 Jerk Chicken tacos with everything and let me just say that they were amazing 🔥 definitely a hidden gem in downtown Waukegan high recommend 👌🏼🇯🇲

My eldest son brought food back to the room for his new Sailor brother and myself on 02~07~2025...I enjoyed the oxtails they were tender with the right amount of seasoning to flavor, but I had to take the juice from the meat for my rice & beans. It was too bland for me, so they picked me up some Tabasco and that was IT!!! I'm not a yam eater, but I ate a few and they were soft as well as delicious...Again, not a real sweat eater, but they weren't overly sugary like...

Have no complaints! Red beans and rice, very tasty. The jerk chicken bowl, wonderful, black beans with rice. Plus sour cream, lettuce tomato, and, avocado. I chose the mild sauce. The fried catfish, with yams and cabbage, and the shrimp tacos with red beans and rice and banana pudding. All done extremely well. I Definitely will be back. No worries, just an enjoyable meal. Support our local business, you're not going to find any better out there...
