I, of course, was like HELL YEAH! And he said he liked my style. I don't have any style and soon realized he meant my haircut. Most excellent! The food: I got a large oxtail with beans, rice and plantains to go. The portion was big, mostly rice as expected. I would've liked 1 more scoop of oxtail for the $30 but I do know it's very expensive right now, so I'm ok with it. It's was tender and delicious. The gravy was deep and full of flavor. I loved it. The plantains are not the sweet ones and were done perfectly, tender throughout. Good amount of beans! The rice was copious, a weeeee salty but honestly I don't even know if it's worth mentioning. All in all I'll be back and will try the curried goat next. You can bet on it! (Or maybe something spicy if they have it!!) Thanks Flames for being delicious and having great taste in hair cuts! Cheers!!

This was like $60 in food. And the oxtail was my husbands food and he doubled down that it just wasn't enough protein for what it cost. The greens were good but needed salt. The Mac wasn't cheesy. The rice was super good and my chicken was also good. But a little dry. The broad street location off little Italy has not "dedicated parking" we just live close so we walk. They have music and events sometimes I hear. They don't answer the phone when they're busy lol so be aware for take out. I didn't pick up the food though, he did ; so I can't comment on the service correctly. * Jerk chicken * Ox tail * Greens * Mac * Rice and beans

We stopped into Cocina Sabrosa for the RI Food Fights' "Taco Mania!" event…read more The dining room itself is brightly lit, giving off a distinct cafeteria-like feel--it's clean and functional, but not particularly cozy. You place your order at the counter, and the food is brought out to your table. The service was relaxed and generally nothing special, just the standard efficient delivery you'd expect from a counter-service spot. We tried the Carne Asada Tacos -- decent flavor, though not quite standout, and the lime wedges served with them seemed a bit past their prime. ​We also tried the Cubano sandwich. Visually, it was great: nicely pressed, generously stuffed, and made with an authentic type of Cuban bread. Unfortunately, the flavor was a letdown. It was a bit flat and lacked the punchy, vibrant, savory, and tangy notes you look for in a classic Cubano. Overall, Cocina Sabrosa was okay -- solid but not spectacular. Worth a try if you're nearby, but probably wouldn't go out of the way for it.

The blend of herbs and spice, mixed with a light handed tamarind is what will make me coming back for more and more. I know my traditional New Englanders are shy on heat, but this is a black pepper, allspice, thyme, ginger kinda heat with a bit of fire added in for kicks. I ordered the Jerk Chicken Rice Bowl with Coconut Rice, their slaw and a sweet plantain. Can I channel Oliver Twist here and ask, "More please?" I also ordered the Jerk Chicken Patty. I wasn't sure what to expect as some are so greasy and heavy handed with the lard/oil or whatever they use in the pastry. Not Ja Patty's! The pastry was extremely light and the filling delicious although I would've liked a bit more Jerk flavor/seasoning inside. It was so good nonetheless. Order online or better yet drive there. Shake up that boring routine that we all fall into - Same 'ole, same 'ole. There is absolutely nothing "Same 'ole" about Ja Patty. Go!

Food selections had a nice variety. I ordered a plate with rice and pigeon peas and stewed pork ribs which is accompanied with a small salad The rice was flavorful and nice and fluffy and the stewed ribs a was 1 of the better versions I've had. I also order a large mundongo (tripe soup) A side of white rice. So I gave 3 stars that's a because it was not the easiest place to place an order with some challenges with the language barriers. And the whole process seems a slow since all the food is already prepared. It would seem pretty simple to point scour into the containers and bag it up and out the door. But was a slow process. The food would get a 4 stars for that nice flavors and freshness. But the mundongo I pointed and ordered never made it to my bag. When I got it home, it was a large container of the stewed beans that is usually used to top the white rice. So I couldn't add my review on what I did not get.

We were hungry then found this place while we were looking for a place to eat. Totally unplanned, just wanted to get a bite to eat. This restaurant is located on Broad St (busy street) next to McDonald's, Dunkin Donuts, and other places to eat. I'm so glad we walked into this establishment. My boyfriend and his younger brothers are Puerto Rican. They asked me if I've ever tried Mofongo. I've always wanted to try it, so I ordered the Mofongo with chicharron. Best decision ever. What it is, is mushed up plaintains mixed with Pernil (Puerto Rican slow roasted pork). Then topped off with chicharrones. It also came with a red sauce (not spicy) and a white sauce. It was so good: The ladies working there at the time were very friendly too. There is a bathroom inside for customers only and a lot of tables to sit. You just sit yourself. Can't wait to come back to Providence just for this restaurant. I'm hooked!
