Caribbean Restaurants near Spotsylvania Courthouse

“Lovely little surprise. If you live in the area, you know that there are only a few great restaurants nearby. This is one of them. It's not fine dining but a long shot, but it's got a cute vibe and great food. The j*** chicken tacos and plantains are especially good. The tater tots are everything.“

“Thankfully, I did not read the reviews before eating at Pimenta. It has a very homey feel. The waitress and the person cooking the food were very welcoming. There was no one there so I was told to sit wherever I like. While I waited for my friend to arrive the waitress brought me drink samples of the sorrel and pineapple ginger drinks. I had never had sorrel before even though I have been to other Jamaican restaurants before. I ordered the brown stew chicken, rice and peas and cabbage. It was all freshly-prepared and delicious. I had to stop myself from eating it all at the restaurant. I have been thinking about it since I was there last week. I think my friend had the jerk shrimp and same sides as me. She loved her dish. We were too full for dessert but will order either an appetizer or a dessert to share when we return in June. Thought the music was a tad loud I appreciated the variety and it contributed to the warm atmosphere. The bathroom was clean. Some things to know before you go: 1) A 20% gratuity is already added to the bill; 2) If you're looking for fancy, this is more of a down-home neighborhood spot; 3) Each table has a QR code to scan the latest menu, though there is a paper menu available. I am not sure why there are so many low reviews but my experience was quite different. When you go in, take a deep breath and go with the flow.“
