    Chicken Tostones
    Elizabeth F.

    The pasta was cooked perfectly Al dente, It could have more seasoning to it but it was still good. The house dressing island vinaigrette was really tasty. The key lime pie was not great at all, I just didn't like it. It didn't look like key lime pie. It was also served with a lemon sauce and a raspberry sauce on the side. I found a hair on my dessert so this didn't help . I was not happy I will not get it again.

    With technology the service is moving more towards a "serve yourself" mid, but the food is legit. The tostada was on point, easily divisible between two people. Even the skirt steak could be shared by two, which we did. The portions are good and the taste is delicious. What they lack in service they make up for in the food. There's enough variety to have you come back again and try a new dish or a new drink.

    Got here around 9:30pm (pressed for time as per usual). The waiter sat us and gave us menus immediately. Patiently and pleasantly our orders were taken. Drinks came out fast. I had a cute drink with a shot on top that once put inside would give it a shimmer glitter and also cut the sourness. It was so good. My date had a cute multicolored/flavored frozen drink. ***** THE STAR OF THE SHOW***** The Tostones with cheese and tomatillo OMGGGGG. Honestly, this will be something that I will be looking forward to for a lifetime. I won't ever forget how it tasted. All of the things that i love combined in one dish! AHHH Seriously Heavenly I can't put it into any other words I wish I was able to have it right this very second! Now for the entree. My date had the ribs and sweet potato mash. He loved it. I Had the Shrimp & Lobster Linguini. They DID NOT Skimp on the SHRIMPS or the LOBSTER! So freaking good. I'm a big eater but after I had the tostones (I wasn't good at sharing) I could barely eat the big plate of linguini that I was given. So I took it go and now I just marinate in the memory of the amazing place that I visited eager to go back!

    The environment was really fun. Tropical plants and decor made me feel like I was on a vacation. They have an extensive menu of tropical drinks. My husband got the Strawberry Lemon Breeze and I got a Pina Colada. He says it's the best strawberry lemonade he has had and I was really happy with mine as well. We got coconut shrimp--perfectly cooked and seasoned. We will definitely return!

    Mmmm ultimate pineapple and ultimate Margarita

    The food and service was great and so was the atmosphere. My rice was a little undercooked but I didn't mind it too much hence the 4 stars. The wait and front desk staff are all helpful and pleasant. Restroom was clean. The drinks were great. Highly recommend the margarita flight. The coconut one was my favorite but they were all great. The ultimate pineapple was wonderful too. The conch fritters were ok. They're more like hush puppies with conch pieces inside it. The jerk wings were really good and came with a nice dipping sauce. The skirt steak with the chimichuri was very good and of course the sweet plantains were a nice edition to the sweet and savory flavors in the meal. We would definitely go back and look forward to trying the other things in the menu. Check them out.

    Our first visit, 5 stars to food and the best pina colada in town! Hubby loves his grilled chicken /mashed sweet potatoes. Good Ambiance , friendly service [Shanny], will surely add to our fav restaurants in town!

    Jamaican Jerk Chicken

    I always pass by this place and have been wanting to try it for years. When we walked in, it wasn't busy at all. We ordered some drinks which were excellent and exceeded my expectations. They also have margarita flights which I usually order from anywhere if I see it on the menu! I ordered the Jamaican jerk chicken and my boyfriend got the pineapple chicken bowl. My chicken was tender and juicy, the skin was flavorful and was cooked well done and seasoned perfectly. The sweet plantains were good but I wish it came with more. Rice was decent enough. Our server was great at the beginning, but once she brought the check she started having an attitude, not sure what that was about. It's great they have one of those little tablets you can pay on, but we wanted to pay cash and she seemed annoyed at that. I would have easily gave five stars if it weren't for the service because it can make or break whether I will return. I may come back in the future but will probably try other spots first.

    Walking in, I didn't really know what to expect of this place. However, from the very first spoon full of seafood chowder to the last fork full of lobster and shrimp linguine, I am eternally grateful my wifey's bestie doesn't have the palate of a fifteenth century peasant. That is to say....Bahama Breeze....is quite good. Now, I should mention that their menu seems to be mainly Jamaican themed. So, if you're into that type of cuisine, then Scooby-Dooby-Doo, this restaurant is for you! As for me, I kept it semi familiar by ordering the aforementioned pasta and soup appetizer (not necessarily in that order, obviously). The chowder really shocked me! I mean, it was basically perfect. Didn't require any additional seasoning whatsoever! Also, when they say "seafood" chowder, they mean it. This rendition consists of what I *think* were small pieces of fish, bay scallops, some clams, and I'm pretty sure there was one giant piece of shrimp in there somewhere. Whatever they put in this, I'd totally order more. Solid 10 out of 10, would recommend. The pasta had the creamiest sauce I've ever tasted in a restaurant, with a surprisingly copious amount of shrimp and lobster. Granted, there was a lot less lobster than shrimp but....that's pretty standard restaurant practice, if we're being honest here. The dish was fine, but additional seasoning would've been nice. I dunno...it tasted like it was missing that little something. Perhaps it was freshly grated parmesan. Because when I was finally able to request some from the waitress, it immediately tasted 10 times better. Amazing what a f*ckton of parmesan cheese will do to enhance the flavor of your average pasta dish. All I know is wishing I had more of it, since I have a propensity to bury my pasta themed dishes in ounces upon ounces of parmesan. This one's like an 8 out of 10 for me. One other minor complaint I have is regarding the entrance(s) to this place. Upon first visit, it's a little confusing because it almost looks as though a person could enter using one of three doors. Two of them lead directly into the outdoor seating. So....after some dodgy deductive reasoning, we walked through what apparently was the *true* front entrance. Go us! The atmosphere and music for this place are very....Bahama-esque? Is that a thing? Oh, well whatever. We'll probably be back here at some point in the distant future. For now though, Bahama Breeze is worthy of 4 perfect bowls of seafood chowder out of 5.

    Caribbean Red Snapper
    Alexias B.

    Great experience! I absolutely loved the Javatini, it's great for a starter and even better for dessert. We enjoyed the beef empanadas and firecracker shrimp. For entrees we tried the new Caribbean red snapper. It wasn't served like the traditional dish, it was more like a frozen fillet but it wasn't terrible. It was paired well with the mango salsa and white rice. Atmosphere was really inviting and the service was great, I'll be back.

    I realize this place is a hit or miss. The food posted below was our first time here and everything here was delicious! Including the beef empanadas (not pictured). Our one complaint was that we ordered a side of plantains and it was burnt. We asked for a new batch and it was burnt again. So we just didn't even eat it

    Price too high for the average quantity of menu items. Wait staff was not attentive and had a "whatever " attitude.

My fiancé got the ribeye and that was cooked to his liking with good seasoning and very tender. The server was very nice, however very slow. Had to go up to her and flag her down multiple times throughout dinner and especially when we were trying to get the check. I had to keep reminding her because she would come then leave "to get it" but then went behind the bar and was talking to people. Then would come by and ask if we needed anything, and after the fourth time it was very annoying.

    I don't leave Yelp reviews often because honestly most places are somewhere between "pretty good"…read moreand "fine." But I had to break the silence for this one. I've been searching for legitimately good Mexican food around Boston for YEARS. Having family in Mexico ruined me in the best way possible because now my standards are absurdly high. Most places get a polite "yeah it was decent." Not this place. Holy $hit...Mestiza absolutely blew my mind. The birria tacos were the best I've ever had. Ever. Not "best in Boston." Not "best lately." I mean if these tacos and I got married tomorrow my wife would probably understand. The steak tacos? Unreal. The al pastor? Illegal levels of good. Everything tasted like the kitchen was personally trying to change my life. And the staff was awesome too. Super friendly, welcoming, and somehow patient while I sat there contemplating ordering a second full meal immediately after finishing the first one. This is the first restaurant in years where I walked out thinking, "well...food will never be the same again." Do not overthink this. Stop reading reviews. Just go now before I buy the place and keep it for myself.

Best place in greater Lowell area. You don't have to drive to Cambridge or Somerville to enjoy. Located in the old Textile Museum. Have been there twice in last month.
