I was in the mood for some good jerk chicken and stumbled upon this hole in the wall Caribbean restaurant on Central Ave with a friend.
I ended getting the small jerk chicken plate with rice, peas, Mac n Cheese, and collard greens for $9.
The server warned me that the jerk chicken was spicy and I told her that was fine. She then took it upon herself to come back again and make sure that i was okay with the heat.. I told her yes once again.. she didn't bother my friend about spiciness..
so the consensus was that it was because I was white.
Atmosphere: It was rather dreary and there were more flies in the restaurant than there were people.
It only took 10 minutes before our plates came out and the server looked at me and said "have fun.."
The jerk chicken was spicy, but in the best possible way! It was moist and fall off the bone perfect. My friend loved it too, but he was the one that was struggling with the heat; he ended up eating it in intervals. The rice, peas, and collard greens were bland. The Mac n Cheese was alright, it tasted a bit old.
3/5 because the jerk chicken was good enough to endure some underlying racism.
