| - Saw this place when we went to Mexico Lindo recently and made a note to check it out. We ordered the quarter jerk chicken leg w/ rice & peas and veg, jerk chicken wings w/ rice & peas and slaw, and rum cake.
The seasoning on the quarter chicken is spicy, but not overly so, nothing most people can't handle. Most of the spice is on the skin so you can remove that and dig into the meat to get the flavor of the jerk w/o being assaulted by the pepper on the skin. Better yet, get a bite of skin and meat to get the right mix of spice. Gravy on the rice & peas livened them up, and the included veg was cooked to the right texture.
The wings are spicy, but less hot and are actually sweeter, so they're a better choice for people less used to spicy food. As for the rum cake, it's moist, flavorful, and full of rum, as you would expect.
They also have jerk shawarma poutine which looks and sounds good so we'll have to come back to try it out.
The interior's nicer than most fast food places and service is friendly. Reggae was playing softly in the background when we were there.
