The Jamaican food is absolutely the best in the 757. It's a small convenience store with Jamaican take out. The store may not look the best but the food is amazing! The best oxtails and mac'n cheese I've had at a Jamaican spot. The oxtails are tender and the mac'n cheese is seasoned well. The price for the large oxtails is affordable too!

I got the oxtail, rice and peas and some Mac and cheese, and let me tell you, it's legit; a genuine Jamaican food place (it's a store with a buffet in back) with the best food you can imagine. So good! I'll be back to try the curry goat next time.

This place was the bomb. Got the large Ox tail plate and he loaded my plate up with seven ox tails, double scoop on the mac and three scoops of rice. Those guys know how to throw down.

The food was mid…jerk chicken dark meat, rice and peas, and cabbage was delicious! Now to pay $4.99 ea for those candied yams that tasted as if they came straight from a Bruce’s or Sysco can, NOPE! And the Mac n Cheese tasted like Krafts, definitely NOT baked. I won’t service this place again!!!
