This place is one of my new favorite places after just one visit!!! I got the jerk chicken and the flavor on that was unlike anything I’ve ever had! Kudos cooks and recipe divisor! I (think) met the owner who took my order and was very helpful to align me with the perfect dish for me, prepared in the perfect manner. She was very friendly and easy on the eyes. She had no airs about her, she was palling around with the cooks like she’d known them her entire life. Her big bright smile didn’t leave her face. The quality of chicken was EXCELLENT, they’re not cutting corners like a lot of places these days.
If you want a delicious, high quality meal, at a very reasonable rate- this is the place for you! I could not speak more highly of a restaurant.

This is one of mine & my boyfriend’s favorite restaurant in Ventura. The food is always fabulous and the service is great. My favorite is the Rasta pasta with tofu and his is the eggplant stir fry. We always order extras like mac and cheese and lumpia. It’s way too much food for one sitting, but we take it home and eat the leftovers over the weekend. We just don’t want to miss out on anything and the flavors all pair so well together. We are looking forward to trying more on the menu. Lots of solid veggie items too!

I had an unfortunate experience with the quality of my food March 4 2025 around 5pm. My husband and I eat here all the time and normally the nice gentleman who cooks the food does an AMAZING job, perfectly cooked every time. One of the BEST places to get food in Ventura. But TODAY? I don't know who was cooking, but it was awful.
My CHICKEN Pancit was greasy like pure oil, it's fishy tasting, there are uncooked noodles, it's super sweet for some reason and barely has any chicken pieces. My husbands tofu meal, which he ordered two orders of, was also greasy, not cooked or seasoned well at all. There were no forks in the bag or napkins in the bag
Idk if y'all got a new chef, but I think the old one NEEDS to give them a tutorial, because my food has never been so nasty from this place before. I didn't even eat mine it was so greasy and fishy. I usually love it here so much.

Wow, wow, first time in here and I am in awe. This food is amazingly good. I had the pork skewers and my had the churrasco and I highly recommend both. I will keep coming since I only 15 minutes away. I can’t I believe I had not been here. I hope it remains open. So many places are closing down every where.

Really good Caribbean food. It’s very flavorful and the staff have been nice each time I’ve visited. I usually order to go because I’m always working. Not sure why this place isn’t more packed because it’s definitely good eats!
I have had the jerk platter/plate with chicken and tri-tip, the spicy coleslaw, jerk fries with the most delicious jerk condiment, and the plantains which I love! I also had the empanadas which never made it out of the parking lot! I eat them right there. I love experiencing other foods and cultures and there aren’t a lot of Caribbean spots in Texas so this was a pleasant and much needed break from Tex-mex. lol. Again, good food, nice staff, and seems like it would be a cool environment but I just don’t eat in. I recommend!
