Always looking forward to Thursday and Friday for the oxtail. Very generous serving size and wide selection of Oriental and tropical goods.
The food here is super good. It’s really authentic. You do have to pay for chips and salsa, but it’s not a big deal to me. They have groceries and produce here, too. They also have lots of cool Mexican candy, popsicles and drinks. The dine-in area is not super big but there’s always plenty of seating.
My waitress was great!!
Great service, delicious food!!! The Chimichanga is the bomb! Come check this place out for authentic Mexican cuisine.
Nice friendly place. Good Mexican food. Variety of Latin American, African and some Asian products available.
In all the years I have lived in the area, I finally tried the restaurant. It was on a Friday so they had their extended menu available. If you have never been, please check this place out. The food and the staff were great. You will not be disappointed. Being close to Andrew's University, they do have vegan options.
Food was absolutely slop and nasty. They gave me a to go container of absolutely nasty cold mush food.

I had a racist experience at Melendez imports this evening and i lost my glasses over there. The owner is always flirting with me, while at the same time being highly disagreeable and starting arguments with me. I think he stole my glasses because he started another argument with me this evening when I approached him because i didn’t want to talk across the room. He became very combative because he thought i was going to say something about the food, he then suggested that he can refuse service and he doesn’t need my business. But to be jonest the food is not great, but the real issue is that there’s no other Jamaican restaurant within 40 mile radius. Its a Mexican grocery store cooking “inspired Jamaican food”, and it’s palatable at best. They do not provide plantains as a side option and they don’t include bread with your meal. I was about to purchase a whole bag of Jamaican hard dough bread for 2 slices of bread with my meal, but i never got to that point beca He started arguing with me about the difference between an up charge and an additional fee. Soni asked him whets the difference and his ego was bruised and he started telling me that hes stronger than me and i said you should be, and he corrected me about all the other rude Jamaican women that he stop from coming to his store. I said but I’m not being rude, in fact i was whispering because i don't like anyone to see me acting ir behaving badly in a public place. Things escalated quickly and i left, leaving the hard dough bread and my glasses on the table. And when i returned, the glasses were gone, and he’s actually as though he hasn’t seen them. I couldn’t’ve driven there in the dark without them and i had to use my broken car spare in order to fet home safely because of this man. Ive been told by other people about his racist remarks before and it may not be the first time with me either, just the last.
