Got the $16 Jerk Chicken meal with rice & peas and cabbage. All the food was wonderful, and for the cost, I'm surprised I was able to finish the amount of food I got. The cabbage was wonderfully seasoned and not over cooked, the chicken was perfect. Oh, and the fried plantains were great. I'm only in town for work, but I will make sure to swing back by next time I'm here.
