“I finally made my way to this Jamaican food place on Eddy Street!
I ordered to go. I'm not very familiar with this part of town, and I can be a bit of a Nervous Nellie in unfamiliar environments, so I played it safe this time. The location is a mixed bag--RI Hospital, Brown University practices, and then just a few steps down, gentlemen's clubs so, your call.
Now, on to the food! They have the popular, made-in-house Jamaican patties that I enjoy so much. Finally, no more frozen versions. Of course, they were ah-ma-zing, right? I ordered beef and chicken patties and stopped myself from getting the veggie kind as well. As always, I'm in danger of overordering. I did give in to a side order of yellow rice--nothing special, but it wasn't dry, so that counts as a win. I also ordered this fried chicken fillet-looking dish, and it turned out to be a fish cake (or fritter) called 'Flitas'! Made with ground saltfish, it's a serious tastebud stimulator. Yum. I wish I had ordered more than one because halfway through eating it, I didn't want to share with my husband (again--see other reviews, lol). The Jamaican patties are large. The beef filling is moist and had a mild spice to it. The chicken filling is also moist and has a noticeable curry flavor. The crust are truly flaky. I also had the fried bread dough or dumplings. I liked the patties and saltfish fritters (my new favorite!) but found the dumplings only okay. These dishes are really greasy but oh-so-scrumptious.
If you're in the mood for an exotic experience, check out the menu board, which boasts Callaloo (Amaranth), goat, oxtail, more kinds of fish, shrimp, and more. There are Breakfast items, Soup, et. al. There are at least six cooked dishes on display that you can choose from. Flames also has a great dessert menu. I was tempted to order a slice of rum cake--next time! Behind the counter, they also have Golden Krust sliced bread--Cinnamon and Jamaican varieties (I'm very intrigued by the latter and would definitely come back to try it).
I'm always delighted to discover new-to-me, lesser-known cuisines in Rhode Island. I hear they've been on Eddy Street for at least six years. I hope it continues on as there's so much more I haven't tried yet. No Jamaican Jerk Chicken for my first visit? I know, right? A travesty! I just got caught up in the excitement.
I hope you give it a shot if you're in the area!“

“The Cultro Food Truck is exceptional! I wanted something unique for my husband's 40th birthday at our home. We invited about 40 people, some with young kids, who have a variety of food tastes, preferences, and diets. We decided a food truck would be a fun choice. They were patient with my requests and inquiries. The day of the party, everyone was thrilled with the variety of options and delicious flavors. The team set up well before our guests arrived and were lovely to interact with. I am so glad we went with this option for catering our event. And now my family will be looking to see where the truck will be when we get hungry for pork belly, empanadas, rice bowls and more! Highly recommend when you see them or for a function at your home or work!“
