    Pork & Chicken jerk combo
    Kevin W.

    The food at CoolRunnings is absolutely delicious, the service is fantastic. The flavours that cool runnings is dishing out is something to be sought after. We had the daily soup, the beef patties. They were fantastic! Flavourful and great! Then we had the Chicken and Pork jerk combo.served with rice and beans and a salad. Wow the flavours and ACTUAL Jerk flavour! Completely delicious the right amount of heat with the perfect amount of flavour. Wow it was fantastic. The rice and beans were properly cooked, the meat was delicious, well seasoned and the jerk sauce was nice and spicy. The customer service was great, family run place with all the right things happening.

    We came on a weekday evening and we were the only table at that time. Service was friendly though…read morewe were left alone the majority of the meal except when they server came by to take our order and get our bill. Other than that, no one really checked up on us though some people (owners? employees?) did walk by. Food was tasty though we both found the jerk chicken and shrimp salty (it was a bit spicy for me but that's just my tolerance). For around $25 for my dish after tax and tips, I can't say I left completely satisfied. I like supporting local businesses and would recommend trying though!

    I really wanted to love this place more then I did. I originally just wanted a Coco bread and patty…read moresandwich. However, it appeared you could not put the two together when ordering and the server (I think) was extremely nice but she had to go back and ask with every order. It was weird since it showed on the website you could get a beef patty and coco bread. In the end I ended up getting a patty in a coco bread but it was so complicated to order. My husband got the same thing and an order of Johnny cakes with the Mango butter. The best thing about the whole experience was the Johnny Cakes and the mango butter. It was truly the mango butter that had me bring a smile to my face. If I could, I would of slathered the whole butter in the Johnny cakes.When it comes to the beef patty, my husbands was warm yet mine was ice cold in the middle. Clearly microwaved I would assume. In the end it was just an okay experience if that. I would like to see more consistency with the menu and the knowledge of it and the promise of fresh made food being true. It sure didn't taste like that with the patty.

The full menu was not…read moreavailable, so we chose a couple items that were available--the empanadas and the carne asada. The cheese empanadas were good, but the cheese and the chicken empanada was not great, thanks to boiled, flavorless chicken. The house-made tortillas that accompanied the carne asada were very good. The steak was on the tough side. Service was quick but not particularly attentive. The young woman at the counter brought out our food but never asked how it was. The place is a dive, but with the exception of the women's restroom, is clean. The toilet in the women's restroom was gross, the toilet paper was sitting on the sink, and the paper towel dispenser was broken.

I think it is safe for me to state that El Mana is the only place where you could get some traditional Honduran/Guatemalan food. They have baleadas wrapped with their homemade tortilla. They also offer on their menu: tamales; pupusa; savery or sweet empanadas; Pollo (fried chicken with fries) fritos; and their version of enchiladas. Be warn their enchiladas dishes are not the ones you normally encounter at a Mexican or Latin restaurant. These Honduran enchiladas are made in the style of a tostada. Crispy corn tortillas, piled with meat, veggies, cheese, and eggs. The owner is a baker so make sure you try some of his bake goods. I got one of their freshly baked Guatemalan bread that I was told Hondurans eat along with their coffee for breakfast. I can see why-- it tasted like a muffin or a donut.

The location of the restaurant is within a strip mall off Birchwood, so it may be hard to find, but lots of parking available. Family own and run--from the owner's daughter who runs the front of the restaurant to the owners themselves who put a lot of their own love into the food they put out. The dining area is spacious and perfect for a small or large group to come dine. The owners daughter, who also works there said they wanted the space to be a place where families could come together and enjoy all the food she loved growing up with her mom's cooking. Food is one of the things that bring people together and at the same time expose them to other cultures. Can't wait to bring my family here to dine.

    My husband has been CRAVING Tommies Jerk for weeks and we finally got to have it again after almost…read more3 years! Still amazing flavours, great prices and amazing personality owner and chef Tommie. The instant you get there you feel like you are reuniting with a friend after so many years!tp I didn't get to take a photo of our food cause we devoured it pretty quick, but we shared a chicken jerk burrito and their Jamaican beef patty, which is one of their new products that they introduced. We also got the pineapple lemonade and mango iced tea. Everything was so good! The jerk was flavorful and the spice slowly kicked in each time we ate. But that is what Jamaican food is all about! I loved everything about it and you must check out this gem in CLOVERDALE on Fridays and Saturdays

    i want to give this a 3.5 because we tried ordering from them 4 different times on Skip the Dishes…read moreand each time it got timed out and cancelled our order. On one occasion, we also drove there in person and no one had come out to the area (a little industrial and deserted). When we finally got an order through one day - we had gotten the Jamaican jerk beef burrito (so spicy!), Jamaican jerk chicken burrito (my favourite), Jamaican jerk chicken nachos (not quite what we expected - Doritos and cheese) and Jamaican strawberry lemonade. It was an okay meal overall and maybe we were just unlucky with our ordering dilemma but you can tell he does have happy customers so I would try again but maybe not in a total heartbeat. EDIT: sorry forgot to add - I did really enjoy the chicken burrito! It was filling and seemed like different seasoning/spice than the beef and paired very well with the mango peach salsa. I'd recommend that for your next choice!
