| - I went there because of so many great reviews on Yelp and I'd pass it whenever I went to Gritz Cafe. Yelp community you've disappointed me...I hate to put a bad review on a resturant/food thats of my culture but WOW the food was HORRIBLE!!! I got the jerk chicken dinner for my husband and oxtail dinner for me. The jerk chicken DOES NOT taste like jerk chicken, TRUST! The chicken was so dry and didnt have the jerk, hot, charcoal, grilled taste...at all. The rice and peas eeehhh, the cabbage had a milky liquid to it... whatever that was and the festival dry. My husband who is American even said it was bad. He ate a few bites, threw it away and went to Farmer Boys. My oxtail was just as bad. It was filled with lots of fillers as in carrots and sauce for the lack there of oxtail and the oxtail did not taste like Jamaican oxtail. Again, the side of cabbage had a milky liquid, rice and peas ehhh and festival dry. The ginger drink was good though. I guess Yelp community gave it such a high rating because there are like 4 Jamaican resturants here, excluding Bahama Breeze. Las Vegans hear me! Bahama Breeze for Caribbean food is the Taco Bell for Mexican food. Listen to a Jamaican, if you want real Jamaican food with a HUGE amount of portion given go to Paradise Place Jamaican Cuisine. I've yet to get the jerk chicken there because every single time I've gone its sold out!!! Thats a sign Las Vegans, like seeing Asian people eating at an Asian restaurant you know it good and close as can be to authentic. Also, the oxtail is prepared like it should along with the rice and peas. They also sell Jamaican sodas, patty and coco bread. The food is like what you would get in Miami (my hometown), New York, Canada anywhere there is a big Jamaican community. I excluded Jamaica because of course the food tastes a million times better in Jamaica. Im sorry Big Jerk :-(
