I almost never leave reviews, but this place deserves 10 stars. I have been searching for an…read moreauthentic Dominican restaurant for years since I left home, and to think the place I was looking for was in Arizona of all places? I'm glad I decided to give them a shot. There is food on the menu I thought I'd never have again, and as it came out I still couldn't believe it being right in front of me. The food was amazing, the flavors remind me of home, seasoning was spot on, every single item we ordered off the menu did not disappoint. The service was exemplary as well, our server did not let us go without water, and ensured we got everything we asked for and more. The ambiance and overall feel of the restaurant was so genuine too, felt like I was in DR, down to the colors on the walls and the music! My new favorite spot. Only complaint is that the owner was not in when I visited the first time so I could shake his hand and thank him for making me feel right at home. Cannot recommend it enough, please take some time to visit and give the food a try, you will not be disappointed.

Very fresh and good food! We went with the chicharrones de pollo and patelitos. Loved the…read morechicharrones de pollo; not too greasy, good acidity, and good crunch while still being juicy. Tostones were also very good, although I think the ratio of chicken to tostones was off. The pastelitos were also good but barely filled, which is why I subtracted a star. If they had more filling, easily 5 stars. I also think the chicharron plates could use a fresh element to cut down the all fried part. Service was timely and the (i presume) owner was nice both times we called. Pickup was also very easy from the window. Overall, I would definitely come back!

I don't know where these five stars came from unless the day I ordered I was unlucky. I love…read moreChicharrón and especially when I go back to Miami, I definitely make sure I get my fix there. I got three orders of chicharrón that came with Tostones. Each order was $20. I ordered it through DoorDash to be delivered. I should've taken pictures but forgot but what I got was a joke. In the order was three pieces of Chicharron and the Tostones. The Chicharron barely had any meat and it wasn't that tender. Very very disappointed and honestly a little upset for the price I paid. I definitely will not be coming back.

I am so happy we bumped into this yummy find at the Sedona Fest of Fall. Umilita and Petra are just…read moredelightful! My mouth was salivating as I was waiting for the shrimp to cook for my Coconut Curry Shrimp Bowl. The smell was amazing! Last year the line was so long, so this year we decided to come to the fest earlier, and so grateful we did so we could taste the flavors of the Caribbean! The bowl was absolutely delicious! If you do not find them at a festival or at the Downtown Phoenix, Farmers Market or Town Scottsdale Farmers Market, keep in mind they do not have a storefront. They are pre-order only, and their meals are served chilled grab and go, but hot upon request. Once you pre-order, you can pick up your meals M - F from 10 AM to 7 PM, Check out the menu online. The address on the Yelp page is incorrect as well, and I have asked for an update, but check out my photo of their business card. When I'm down in the valley next, I'm definitely gonna pre-order and bring home some yummy Caribbean meals to Flagstaff!

She arranged the drop off, everything was hot and fresh. We got beef empanadas, jerk chicken, Rasta pasta and tropical salad, with the best part a banana upside down cake. She was right on time, everything was perfect and exactly as described and I couldn't have been happier! Highly recommend her service for a fun creative lunch or dinner!

The manager, Karen, also deserves special recognition for her professionalism and customer care. Yesterday, I noticed that my serving wasn't quite right when I got home. I mentioned it to Karen today, and she immediately acknowledged the issue and explained that the employee who served me was very new. Without any delay or unnecessary back‑and‑forth, she personally prepared a fresh, well‑packaged dish and assured me that she would make it right. She also told me to let her know if I ever experience any inconvenience in the future. This level of customer service is rare. Karen handled the situation with grace, respect, and genuine care. Because of her and the quality of the food, Hot Pot will continue to be my go‑to spot for authentic Jamaican cuisine. Jerome

The rice is a little harder than I prefer, but still well-seasoned. The coco bread is warm and fluffy, and the plantains are cooked just right--yummy and finger-lickin' good ! The staff plates your food like you're family, and you can truly taste the love in their cooking. Be sure to bring your patience, as everything is cooked to order--but it's definitely worth the wait. We usually visit right when they open during the week to grab our food before it sells out later in the evening. The restaurant itself is clean, plenty seating with great Caribbean decor on the rich red colored walls that emits a warm and cozy feel to the ambiance and the overall experience. Happy eating !
