    Veggie patty & Juice
    Raya V.

    Stopped by when I was at the Cookies in this plaza. Got a quick veggie Patty and a beef patty for my bf. We also tried the strawberry pineapple mango juice but I tasted a hint of ginger in it although it wasn't listed as an ingredient. Service was fast and the ppl in there work really hard. The ambiance is chill and there is also indoor seating. The Patties were tasty, but not enough filling for the price. But idk I'm from NY and I can get some pretty stuffed Patties for $3/pop tops. Definitely give them a try if you're in the area.

    Veggie hot pocket- pretty good and hot

    Good spot for quick hot pocket food - 4$/each. Chicken, beef, veggie options- all good.

    Jerk Chicken

    Walking into Aretha's I KNEW it was gonna be good. Really friendly and attentive. I ordered a medium jerk chicken meal and couldn't even eat half because the portions are huge. Great value. The chicken was amazing, the Mac n cheese was incredible. All around great meal and experience. Would def recommend!

    What an awesome hidden gem. My friend and I came here after another place we wanted to check out was closed, and I'm glad we did! You really get great value for your money, the portions are great. I got a medium jerk chicken, and god it was good. Great spice, chicken was nice and tender and not overcooked, Mac and cheese was bomb, so were the veggies. Can't wait to come back and try the other dishes! Also congrats to the girl who graduated today! Haha.

    AMAZING food! I was so excited when I saw a local Jamaican restaurant popped up. One of the best Jamaican meals that I have ever eaten (not exaggerating). Everything was delicious and seasoned perfectly. Portion size was perfect as well. Will absolutely be visiting often, and spreading the word!

    If this place is wrong, I don't want to be right! Rock solid 4.45. It's a chill little spot…read moredelivering up dynamite flavors. I often gauge the attention to detail with an establishment by the cleanliness of the restroom. Theirs was absolutely spotless and even smelled fragrant! That's a great indicator. Furthermore, anytime I get Jamaican cuisine it's like a good Italian restaurant with a litmus test. For Italian, it's calamari; for Jamaican it's the jerk chicken. Mama Mia did they hit a homerun. However, I also got an order of the curry chicken for a rounding of the flavor bases. PRO TIP-get the traditional rice and peas, ask for the ox tail sauce over the top. NEXT LEVEL! Both chicken dishes were slow cooked and maxed out with flavor. The heat level of the curry was actually a little more than the jerk. Regardless, they both hit the mark. Highest recommendation! Bon appetite! PS-super friendly service and staff.

The rice was flaky and not over cooked, the chicken was seasoned very well, the cabbage was my fave, cooked perfectly and sweeeet. And last but not lease the plantains was overripe, which is PERFECT. I will be going back next time I'm in town.. Ps. The in-house punch made daily is very very good toooo! . Enjoy people.

    Wow! Extremely impressed with the food here! Also love that they have Medalla. We started with the…read morequeso frito with guava sauce. Gorgeous presentation with an edible flower and gold dust. We also had a side order of maduros for an app. Delicious! The maduros were legit my favorite thing here, although everything was great. For a main course I had shrimp in garlic sauce with mamposteo. Served on a huge plate, there was a giant portion of rice and a small side salad as well as many good sized shrimp. Super delicious and the food was piping hot. Service was great and I loved the music here, which was a mix of reggaeton, Bad Bunny and Karol G but played at a low, chill volume so it didn't distract from conversation. The interior is sort of casual but with some nice touches like a wall of greenery with a PR flag. Our server was super friendly and this is a family business. We parked in the private lot in the back, which is reserved for tenants of the building. A guy who appeared to be associated with the barber shop in the same building told us it was safe to leave our car there to visit the restaurant. I'd recommend parking near the barbershop since they seemed to keep their door open and would see anyone messing with your car. There were a number of homeless people here begging but they did not bother us. Only reasons for not giving five stars has nothing to do with the food, atmosphere or service. I found the women's bathroom in need of a cleaning and they also have a small convenience fee that was not mentioned anywhere but was added to our bill. Additionally, be careful to review your check because they automatically add a 20 percent gratuity.

    Thinking about this experience makes my heart hurt. We got there with some friends who had never…read morevisited PR it was 5 of us in total. Being such a famous restaurant we expected the best , our friend first time in Puerto Rico so we wanted to show them our tipical PR food. First our waiter seemed like he did not want to be there, second we ordered the food an it took forever (over an hour and a half), and lastly when the food got to the table it was cold, it seemed like it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a while. The womens bathroom was pathetic!!! I have never seeing something like that (other than a porto-potty) the trash was full to the top, and the floor had more trash than the trashcans, and toilet, forget it!! I cannot describe the condition they were in.
