“Was craving Spanish food and usually I have to drive to Camden from Cherry Hill. Looked on Door Dash and saw them and was so happy. The food was very fresh, had an authentic delicious taste… I will definitely order from them again…“

“The server was Great and personable. The wings in Flambo sauce were tasty and especially nice appetizer. Beef curry was tender and well prepared.“

“I thoroughly enjoyed the food. You must try the Happy Happy Drunk.“

“The food at this restaurant is very tasty and delicious the Rasta pasta is to die for very creamy and rich as well as the pepper steak is tender and juicy and flavorful😋. My favorite beverage at solange’s Caribbean cuisine is the fruit punch and passion fruit juice you should definitely try them.“

“Our waiter was friendly and madw sure to check on us frequently. Our food was received quicker than I expected. The jerk wings NEVER miss. They're absolutely delicious. I was a lillte disappointed by the "spiked" lemonade as it didnt seem to contain any alcohol. Overall I enjoyed my experience and would recommend the restaurant to others.“

“Omg!!!.Amazing food... so yummy, homemade, which is so hard to find.
Everyone is happy and welcoming!! Did I mention the food was Amazing..I've been there 2x in 1 week.. I had jerk chicken tacos, sweet yams, and corn bread 🤩. Can't wait to try everything on the list.“

“Here is my honest review. The area is very nice and the ambience was very live. The look of the place was awesome and the decor was on point. The staff - A plus in friendliness. Here is where there is a flaw... The fish sticks were more breading than anything and lacked flavor. The water container was cute. The entrees were disappointing. The rice was old or at least tasted very tough and a bit too salty. The shrimp was good but needed more cooking. The maduros were delicious. The potato “patty” was cold and tasted too mushy and plain for the price that went with the pernil. The pernil was “okay” as it lacked flavor. The worst part was the flan! This thing was tough and never have I had a tough flan but instead it is supposed to be soft and easy to cut with a fork BUT this was not that. The coffee was OK at best as it lacked flavor though the presentation was nice. Will we come back? Probably not but if you are in the area for a nice spot for the “vibe” then this is nice. For the food, I cannot recommend it.“

“Amazing meal amazing customer service and I think I met the owner who was amazing as well. Great place to come. I recommend you travel for it. The oxtail are to die for all I got was oxtails and rice cause I’m used to getting burnt, but these people oxtail was no game at all.“

“Is a Great place to be, but needs better bartenders, it takes Forever to get a drink!! Other than that is fun to be around!“

“Very nice Jamaican spot! It’s a bit of a hole-in-the-wall, but in the best way — cozy and authentic. If you’re into Jamaican food, you’ll definitely love it here. I got the oxtail with rice and beans — super hearty and flavorful, at $24. Just note there’s a $10 minimum or a $1.50 fee for credit card payments.“

“Yesterday I got the Oxtails, rice & peas, mac & cheese and steamed cabbage. Every bit of it was delicious!!! the good there never disappoints! Kudos to the chef!!! Irie!!!!“

“First visit and the food was great.I appreciated the hospitality of the woman who assisted with choices of menu items. I definitely will return. I had ox tail, rice and cabbage, Unfortunately i forgot to take pic because I already ate it. My food container was packed well for a large take out.“

“First time trying this spot. Definitely did not disappoint! Very friendly staff also! We will be back :)“

“Today’s my 2nd time eating there. There’s a young lady who get the orders while the other does the cashier thingy. I appreciate the young lady who serves, she’s very pleasant both times I was there. She deserves a tip. I didn’t care for potato salad and cabbage with the added frozen vegetables, I’m so happy not to have that the first time, and I’ll order again if they don’t add that. Those items are great by themselves. Thank you!“

“City Wide responded promptly to my repair request. Honest reasonable work. Very knowledgeable about gates and gate repair.“

“Omg I’m amazed by the fish here !! It’s the best fish I’ve ever tasted and in the WHOLE city I swear by this place !! They have the most nice and caring customer service as well !! Will always b my go to restaurant!! Customer for life THANK YOU !!“

“Just ate there food was amazing ! Lalo first time I had it fantastically made. Rice was on point. 5 star“

“Found this treasure place when I was looking for Dominican/ Mexican food for lunch at work. Really really good slow cook ribs. I really want to know how they seasoned it even there might be some recipes online. When you chewing the chicharrones the juice/fat just come out and it taste really really good.Ribs/ chicharrones(crispy slow cook pork belly), rice and beans, salad, and maduros(sweet fried plantains) for $13.Do not go to Applebees, TGI Fridays, McDonald’s, meals from local tea like this gives you better and healthier choices, and they deserved more customers.Part of ribs and chicharrones(the part doesn’t include much fat) became too hard/too dry to eat after long time cook, some of them are not eatable anymore since it’s too hard. There should be a way to avoid this problem. As I know the Cantonese type Chinese BBQ restaurant has slow cook ribs and crispy pork belly too (with different seasoning of course) , but theirs doesn’t have this problem, and pork belly are perfectly brown. I don’t know how they do it. Maybe cover meat with aluminum paper and be more accurate at the timing and temperature by cooking them not as long as Latin chicharrones(chicharrones taste harder/crispier). If you try pork belly from both restaurants you will know what I meant“

“Food was fantastic and the order was on time for the requested pick up, I even got a call back to confirm my order was ready. I didn't get platters this time, I ordered everything a la carte, by the pound. We got Pernil, chicharron, tostones, arroz con gandules, stewed beef, guineo, beans, and white rice with extra gravy. Online ordering was also a breeze, the layout was straight forward and very intuitive. It gave you options and even a small section for special requests. Definitely one of my new favorite spots to drop in to for a hearty meal. I'll be back again to try the rest of the menu and looking forward to grabbing some pastelillos.“

“great service. kind professional and good authentic Jamaican products“

“First time at this restaurant...Food was on point definitely be back soon..“

“My First Time trying their Food. I Loved how much Care they had when preparing My Order. I had a small Jerk Chicken Platter with Oxtail Gravy and Two sides Mac and Cheese with Mixed Vegetables. I also had another side of Candied Yams or Sweet Potatoes. Thank You D's Caribbean and American Food. 😇😎👏👏👏👏💖💐“

“I ordered a large oxtail platter with cabbage, yams rice & beans. My yams were very hairy like they were canned yams. I usually order mac & cheese instead. The rest was pretty good it just seems like every visit the oxtail become less & less (stingy).“

“Some of the best Dominican food you're gonna find anywhere outside the island.Spectacular food made fresh every day and a wide variety of dishes and drinks. They used to be cash only, but have an ATM inside and now accept card payments.Definitely my favorite place in the city. Try the mofongo with roast pork. It's extra garlicky and packed with flavor. The rice and beans are always perfect, and so is their pernil (pork shoulder). The appetizers are also worth checking out.Small place, and it gets crowded quick. Totally a place to visit if you're in the city or curious about Dominican food.

Vegetarian options: Not many options, but the few that are available are great.

Parking: Really depends on time of day.“

“The food was amazing. The after party was even better. Will definitely be back!!“

“I have been going the this Restaurant for years now and I don't plan on stopping anytime soon. This is a great chill spot on the weekends and week days for lunch and dinner .However after dinner the dancing starts and it is everything safe and fun for a party with great drinks and great food and chill people. 😊“

“I discovered ZumZam a few weeks ago.
I have been hooked since!
The Oxtail 10/10!
The Ackee and Saltfish 10/10! I've had this like 5 times now lol
The Curry Goat was 10/10
The Curry Chicken 10/10
The owner , Zum is always welcoming and his staff is very nice!
I have now introduced my coworkers to his delicious food (he cooks it all himself by the way! ) and they are already planning on what to get tomorrow. I think we finally found our fave Jamaican food spot for lunch!“

“Today, I had a taste for delicious Jamaican food. I live in NE Philadelphia, but I have no problem jumping in the car and traveling to Wharton Street in South Philly to see Mr. Rich and get his curry chicken, rice and peas, yams and greens. My wife likes the rice and peas, yams and Mac n cheese. It is so worth the time and travel.

The owner is caring and personable also. I'm trying to get him to have a location in the NE. I'm sure it would do well, ya'mon. God bless him“

“Had no idea what food they had, menu link not working. Just ordered what the guy in front of me ordered. Jerk chicken, beans and rice, Mac and cheese. Food was good, ordering area is deceiving, as there is a nice dining room. Will definitely be back once the menu link is working so know what to order. Med portion was huge, got two dinners out of it.“

“Easily the best oxtails I’ve had & you can’t beat the price point. The food is so delicious time and time again. I consistently order on DoorDash and delivery is always fast. The food is fresh and they’ve never let me down. I want to try other options one day, but the oxtails got me hooked.“

“New to the city from NYC, so we decided to give this establishment a try. Didn't have to high of expectations so not to be easily disappointed. The oxtail platter, the pepper steak platter, and the brown stew chicken platter DID NOT DISAPPOINT! All the meats were deliciously flavorful. The cabbage had just the right amount of crunch. The yams were tender and naturally sweet. The Mac & cheese was seasoned to our liking. The rice & Peas gave me a flashback of my Brooklyn days! WE WILL BE BACK!“

“MANNNN OH MAN! Where to start… Trappixx is an amazing place to have a family dinner, date night, solo dinner etc. The Staff are amazing, friendly and on top of everything everything was a 10/10 best Jamaican food I’ve tasted ! GREAT EATS ! Recommend that garlic shrimp with the white rice ( mouth drooling ) lol but yeah definitely check them out !“

“Food was amazing definitely the best Jamaican food spot in philly. Hat off to the chef….
family enjoy the food will be back for sure!!!
Customer service was amazing …
10/10 highly recommend!!!!
Macaroni cheese was the best I ever had from a Jamaican restaurant.“

“Yes I recommend everyone to Hotspot“

“You definitely need to check this out if you miss home cooking. One of the best I’ve tried that actually tastes like Jamaica food.💕“

“This place is deliiiicious. I’ve only done pick up. Not sure anyone ever actually eats there. It’s encased with plastic, kinda loud from some big fans, hard to hear. But absolutely none of that matters because they have the best jerk chicken you can get in Philly (in my experience so far). I lived in Florida for a while and ate a lot of jerk chicken. And this place does it right. Glad I came in and tried it! The people are nice. I’m a repeat customer. And I have no intention of stopping.“

“Very good service and friendly environment 👍🏾“

“The Ultimate Feast with oxtail, jerk chicken, curry chicken and 3 sides is a well prepared-and well-priced meal. The staff are friendly and patiently answer food-related questions.“

“Excelente atendimento do funcionário Noel 🤩🤩“

“My new favorite Jamaican spot in Philly. They've got great patties and bomb housemade drinks like pineapple ginger.

Looking forward to going back and getting a platter plus an old school favorite...Taste the Tropics ice cream ☺️“

“Stopped by today craving good oxtails, and K & J absolutely delivered. I ordered the medium oxtail platter with okra, cabbage, and mac & cheese — plus a slice each of the pina colada cheesecake and lemon cake.

Service: In and out, no waiting. You order, and your food is ready — like the best kind of fast food experience, but with soul.

Food: Everything was delicious. The oxtails were seasoned just right, tender and flavorful. All the sides were on point—especially the mac & cheese. And those cakes? Rich, moist, and worth every bite.

Value: I paid about $31 and easily got two full servings out of the medium order. Generous portions and great quality for the price.

I’ll definitely be back.“

“The food here is delicious! We tried the Oxtail with fried rice and mac, the Salmon & Shrimp Rasta Pasta, and the Sweet Chili Wings with fries and every single dish held such great flavor. The oxtail was so tender it literally fell off the bone, easily one of the highlights of the meal. Next time, we’re definitely trying the Oxtail Rasta Pasta.“

“I went to the food truck at 34th and Market and the food was absolutely delicious!! I had the fried fish with jerk sauce, mac n cheese, and candy yams. Seasoned very well! And the lady serving was pleasant and personable. I devoured my platter lol“

“So I got the Grilled Steak and rice and beans with salad and guacamole the steak was so juicy tender and the flavor was amazing this is a amazing restaurant and I will be back the staff is respectful and the restaurant is clean the food is cooked fresh right in front of you no complaints“

“At the first moment you step in that place the personel give you a pleasant feeling. Very hospitable hosts, it is a good place to go out with your friends or with your date. Great food, talented chef, comfortable cost and generous service. Warmly recommended.“

“My favorite Jamaican spot in uptown. Food is always good, staff is super cool and friendly. This is the only Jamaican restaurant I’ve been to in Philly where the baked Mac and cheese is made right and it’s so good. The BBQ Jerk chicken is one of my faves. They give good portions too.“

“great authentic Jamaican food“

“I LOVE this place. First time there and I was blown away. I had the Shrimp Curry Platter, my family had the Curry Goat and Curry Chicken.

Everything was good!

I would definitely go back and can't wait to back.“
