| - I've had jerk chicken before, and while it was enjoyable, I never "loved" it - either because it was overly spicy, salty or one ingredient in the sauce was to overpowering. Being on a budget (and working in the area for the past 7 years), I finally opted to try Rasta Pasta after seeing them on a best "Cheap Eats by Neighbourhood" list. I tried their $5 lunch special was blown away. The seasoning and sauce on the chicken were perfect - a great blend of heat, sweetness and all the other spices that go into jerk sauce. The rice and beans were also incredibly delicious with the rich creaminess of coconut milk, but the coleslaw, while helpful to cut some of the heat (both temperature and spice), was relatively bland compared to other two items. They do offer steamed veg instead of coleslaw as well, which I have yet to try, but on a hot day the coolness of the coleslaw is still welcome. I haven't yet had the pleasure of having the chicken straight off the grill like others have, but I will definitely be back and hopefully will get to experience that one day.
