Amazing flavours. If you read nothing else, that's my review in a condensed phrase.
I ordered the "tester platter" as I called is because I knew by looking at the menu there were many things I wanted to try. The version I chose comes with your choice of two tacos, guacamole or salsa and chips, and an empanada or Jamaican patty.
I started with the salsa and chips. I was extremely surprised as well as pleased to see how incredibly fresh they were. The salsa appeared to have been freshly chopped just as I ordered it and the chips came literally out of the fryer. The combination of flavors was amazing. For myself personally, I added some of the hot sauce provided on the tables as it wasn't quite spicy enough. Better to err on the side of caution when it comes to peoples palates!
Being lactose intolerant, I always have to be on the lookout for sources of dairy and there were a few but the chef easily accommodated my needs. I chose the pulled pork and jerk chicken tacos. The mango salsa with the pulled pork was a beautiful melding of tastes. The meat portion was generous as well as juicy. The jalapeƱo mayo on the jerk chicken was absolutely brilliant. I would definitely have both again. I can only imagine how amazing they must taste with cheese!
The empanada was a surprise as well. What is normally a pastry type crust, was replaced with a crunchy cornmeal type crust. It was crunchy, almost like a corn dog, if a corn dog tasted superb.
The main thing I was impressed with was the freshness of everything. The quality of the ingredients really shines through. It was quite a treat to have something so focused on taste as opposed to shelf life.
Definitely worth the visit!!!
