I'm disappointed paid 53.00 for 2 meals that I had to put in trashcan. The chefs or comfortable are you guys just don't care about customers. Close the restaurant.

My husband stopped at this restaurant got brown stew fish and jerk shrimp. Oh my goodness! The food was terrible shrimp wasn't seasoned tasted bitter had a not so well taste , rice taste was off and the fish wasn't cooked well. . You guys need to replace your chefs. Honestly I wouldn't recommend. Can't afford to waste your money like this on food you can't eat. Total $58.00 dollars for what. You people need to do better.

The worst JAMAICAN restaurant in the community. There is no way to contact them AT ALL. ( how do you run a restaurant, where customers can’t call or text)
I ordered food, that they charged me for , and I didn’t realize until I got home.

I recently visited The original Blue Cantina and let me tell you they did not disappoint me. The food was authentic! I purchased fried chicken, rice and peas with Jamaican coleslaw, macaroni salad and red peas soup. When I tell you I can taste all the seasonings the food was a hit. If you’re in the mood for some good Jamaican food that’s always on point check them out you won’t be disappointed. You will thank me later. Nuff love

I went to Blue Cantina in Mt Vernon on Wednesday and I bought a medium curry goat and a medium stew chicken and spent $30 just to get home and my curry goat smelled spoiled!! I was so pissed, I live far away so honestly I couldn’t go back. I tried eating a little but not only was it flavorless, it smelled weird and I ended up throwing it in the trash!!
