I ordered and was told one time, but the food unfortunately was still not ready on time. It did not appear busy inside so I am not sure what the wait was, but the customer service was better than most Caribbean restaurants. Appears as if a lot of locals frequent this establishment The oxtails only come in one size and I don't think it was worth the money. The rice had no flavor until I put the extra curry gravy on top. 5/10 Oxtails were tender but not many but they were hot 6/10 The escovitch snapper was over cooked and dry. Absolutely would not order again, upset that I waited such a long time for this meal. 2/10 Plantains were nothing special 4/10 Cabbage was average 6/10 I did overhear them mention an inspection that they recently passed, and how they always pass their inspections which made me feel good about eating here at the time. I do not think id return because I expected more & there's plenty of options in the surrounding area. The only plus is that they offer bar seating as well as dining inside which most Carribean restaurants don't have

Fresh Boston is a great place to stop by for a yummy sandwich!…read more We were in the area looking for a new place to try for a quick bite. It's a pretty casual spot, though they do have a bar area. Decent amount of seating. First impressions: quite expensive menu for sandwiches, salads, and smoothies. Most of the sandwiches are almost $20 or more. We originally wanted to try their grilled cheese w/ tomato soup but they didn't offer it anymore when we visited. Looks like they switch up their menu every 2 weeks! So here's what we ended up getting: - the fruits and the maytals smoothie -pressed: steak piece - pigs gone wild The sandwiches took ~15 min + smoothie took around 10 min to be ready. Okay, so the sandwiches were TEA!! So good. Both sandwiches we ordered were on focaccia bread & they were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were big too! I honestly was expecting them to be small, but I'm glad they were generous. Flavors were tasty; I love both but the Pigs Gone Wild was my favorite! The truffle honey aioli was something else, highly recommend. The smoothie we got tasted refreshing & exactly as described. I would definitely come back again & get the Pigs Gone Wild or try other sandwiches since they switch up their menu every two weeks. Price is a bit steep, but after getting to try their sandwiches, I'd say they are worth it. Parking: free street parking

The seating is a bit limited, but what they have is super cute, plus they open up a garage door when the weather's nice, so you get that patio vibe while staying cozy inside.

I would def order ahead because they make everything fresh, and since it's such a popular spot, you might be waiting a bit. But trust me, it's worth it. My faves? The PB Espresso smoothie, the Vedge and Chicken Mojo wraps, and the Vegan Caesar salad. If you're in the North End and craving something light and delicious, Pink Carrot is definitely worth a visit!

We started with the tuna crispy rice (my sister's favorite app ever), and we saw smash burgers on the menu and made up our minds immediately. The tuna crispy rice had a really flavorful sauce on it.
