I love jerk chicken but this was a miss for me. I moved to Skokie last year and visited while…read morerehabbing my condo. Although the workers were pleasant the food too a crazy long time and wasn't that great. It was pricey and the portion did not match the price.

Fantastic food, bad hours of operation. Everything is fresh and tasty. Well worth a visit!read more

I was looking to get jamaican food with a couple friends, and we ended up coming to this place…read more It's currently doing takeout only, so we ate in the park nearby, but it was pretty nice inside. I got the value meal with dark meat jerk chicken, plantains, rice and beans. It was very nice value, around $10 for lots of food. The chicken was good, I really enjoyed the sauce that came with it too. We all enjoyed our meals, and it was a good experience! I think it's a good spot for jerk chicken in the north suburbs and I would definitely recommend.

The jerk sauce immediately took me back and the chicken was super tender. The candied yams were sweet but not over done. The beans and rice needed more flavor so I added the spicy jerk sauce. My hubby enjoyed the patties. The storefront is located in a strip center off of Rt 38 and Rt 47 with parking in front. Few seats inside so we took it to go and had a picnic. Ask for extra napkins and two forks if you plan on sharing. .

Ya Mon...this place is legit!…read more I am so glad my fellow Yelpers told me about Island Express in Elburn Illinois. Authentic home style Jamaican food with Island Flavor at reasonable prices. Mainly a takeout place with limited counter seating,each meal is prepared fresh. Jerk Chicken,Curry Goat and Oxtails are just a few of their Jamaican dishes. We tried their Veggy Patty and Chicken Patty. Flakey crust loaded with flavor. I didn't care for the chicken patty as it was chicken curry which I'm not a big fan of..wish it would have been listed on the menu in a different way. Ordered a side of their spicey jerk sauce which added additional flavor ....bonus! Also had their Medium Jerk Chicken platter with sides of red beans and rice and sweet candied yams. Everything was delicious. If you want to experience good Jamaican food minus the sand,ocean and Red Stripe Beer,this is definitely the place to go.

The food was good and the lady who took my order was patient with me as I was ordering. However, I…read moreordered their oxtail which is $25 and it was all bone and barely any meat. I was quite disappointed in that and wonder if it's always like that or if it's just a one time thing. It's located in a plaza so parking is easy. They do have dining tables inside as well but we did carry out. Overall I'd recommend but maybe skip out on the oxtail

My heart is broken…read more I stumbled upon Estacion by accident. I was looking for additional bites after a disappointing meal nearby, and was warmly invited inside by the bartender. He informed me that the restaurant would be closing in less than a week. (By the way, HUGE bonus points for this kind of service when the restaurant is literally counting its days.) The superb, friendly, knowledgeable, and fast service continued through the visit. To eat, I started with the Bacalao. While I wasn't sure a cod fritter would fit the spot, these did! The fish was high quality, well seasoned, and the fritters themselves were breaded and fried to perfection! The dab of jalapeno mayo up top added some savory notes along with a little heat. While I'd ordinarily say I'd have liked more, but here this wasn't the case. As for the salad, it was bright, fresh, and dressed lightly and perfectly. Then we come to the ceviche. While I am not typically a fan of mango, I loved the way Estacion integrated it here. The mango added sweet and savory notes, while not overwhelming anything else the dish had going on. The fish was fresh and high quality, and the veggies added freshness and brightness. Even the avocado served a purpose in adding some fatty notes. Finally, let me tell you about the Flan de Queso. This was described as flan meets cheesecake. The sweetness was light, the flavor divine, and texture velvety perfection. Looking back, I am realizing what a fool I was for not ordering a second helping. Not to leave you hanging, the Caipirinha was good. Nothing mind-blowing, but a pleasant, mild drink. Final verdict: If I had known about this place earlier, you can bet I'd be a tried and true regular. This becomes a case of "don't be sad it's over, be happy it happened," or whatever the phraseology is.Still, as I said at the start, my heart is broken.
