Jerk chicken, oxtail, & festivals here remind me of the same dishes I ate in Jamaica (here more so than many other Caribbean restaurants that I have tried in NY, and the greater Boston area).

The soup is always delicious no matter what kind of soup. They sell out of soup pretty quickly so call ahead to reserve before you go.
