The food quality and quantity also are contributing factors. The artwork throughout including history pieces on the origin of the Haitian flag, and a prominent display of leadership which included my great, great, great, grandfather brought joy to my heart! I thoroughly enjoyed my meal which consisted of kabrit (goat), Djon Djon rice, green plantain and salad. I did request extra pikliz and gravy, as the gravy doubles as my salad dressing due to the rich flavor. The ample portions allowed for two additional meals, which were equally delicious as the seasoning marinated additionally. Everything was fresh. The rolls I purchased were soft to the touch and I was assured that they were baked that day after inquiring. They reminded me of my father, also of Haitian descent, and the bakery in South Florida near parent's retirement community. My dad would take me there and we would get fresh Haitian bread and rolls. Truly, one of the best nostalgic moments with the reminder of him and the delicious food. The location provided ample parking, and was not crowded when I first arrived. I placed my order after looking at all the offerings, including jams and other Haitian baked goods. Although I was assured that my food would be ready in about 15 minutes, it was closer to 30. Several people came in after me picking up large orders. My order taker acknowledged that my food would be ready soon, and I appreciated that. Thankfully, I was not in a rush. Do keep that in mind when visiting, and ordering in advance may be an option. I will definitely return to try my other favorites, including griot (despite limiting pork intake...smh) and legume. Truly pleased to find a great Haitian restaurant in Gwinnett. Shout out to the Tik Tok person who brought it to my attention in her post!

It's sad to say that customer service is not their priority. They are sometimes rude. Last time we went, they served my sister-in-law a hot dog if she can tell that the hot tub was from the day before and he was hard when we asked for a different hotdog they gave her the same bun and just replaced a hotdog. I wish I would have confronted them about this, but I didn't feel like arguing and in the end, my sister-in-law got sick for the rest of the day stomach issues.

The buss-up-shot (paratha roti) is outstanding - pillowy, buttery, and perfectly flaky. It pairs beautifully with the succulent curry goat, loaded with tender meat, hearty potatoes, and chana. Every bite is packed with rich, aromatic flavors that transports you straight to Trinidad. The classic doubles are spot-on. Fluffy bara, well-seasoned chana and that essential slight pepper kick for just the right heat. Don't skip it! And the Phoulorie? Crispy little fritters dipped in the sweet/tangy tamarind sauce. Eating all together gives you that street food vibes. A small humble place with huge flavors and reasonable prices. Seating is limited so takeout or quick dine in works best!

You feel cared for the moment you walk in. He even shared his favorite menu item, the Diablo, and told us to give it a shot. You want to support people like him. Restaurants need more owners like Oscar. Ambiance: The space feels warm and intentional. You can come in for peace and quiet after a long day or sit down with friends and enjoy real conversation and food. The setup supports both. The lighting is comfortable. The energy feels calm but alive. You do not feel rushed. You feel invited to stay. Food: I ordered the steak supreme nachos and steak tacos. The nachos came out loaded and balanced. Chips held up. Steak was tender and well seasoned. The queso stood out. Smooth, rich, and flavorful without overpowering everything else. The tacos sealed it. Soft tortillas, generous steak, fresh toppings, and clean flavors. Simple, done right. You can see the care from prep to plate. The menu tells a story. Street tacos, loaded plates, and comfort food done with intention. You can tell this is a place built from experience, not shortcuts. I will be back. For the food. For the atmosphere. For Oscar. If you come here, talk to him and try the Diablo. This place earns its 5 stars.

For an appetizer the Fried Cheese with French Fries. For some reason this surprised me because I was expecting something like Mozzarella Sticks but these were cubes of cheese instead and my wife did a quick Google check and found out that this was a specific type of cheese fried but not breaded. Ummm...for someone who likes fried foods, very delicious. I was not happy when this was done. For the entrée I had a Chicharron de Pollo with Tostones. The chicken was good, the Tostones plentiful. I usually get three or four at a restaurant. There was a lot more than that and I couldn't finish them all. Of course the Mofongo was ordered because why come to a place like this and not order it. Good choice since their menu had a whole bunch of Mofongo options. Oh and my wife really enjoyed the Café con Leche.

It isn't much to look at from the street, but if you are looking for an authentic Cubano or Cuban coffee, this is the right hole-in-the-wall to stop into. After craving a real Cuban sandwich for 12 straight hours, I woke up salivating for one. A friend had told me about Chiquita and I made it a part of my Sunday errands. I stepped into the store and ordered my sandwich. I was told it would be 7 minutes. I looked around and checked out the grocery items, cold case (packed with pure cane sugar sodas) and other convenience items. I could smell the mojo pork heating up and could not stand the wait. Once I had the sandwich in hand, I didn't care about how hot it was. The bread was perfectly toasted on the outside - practically crumbling away as I bit into it. Slices of ham (the ham was a bit forgettable), swiss cheese, mustard and mayo, chopped mojo roasted pork and pickles (possibly bread and butter - sweeter than expected). The entire sandwich was the perfect combination and so flavorful. Probably one of the best renditions I have had in the city - I'll hit this place up again.
