Our favorite is the Escovitch fish and sweet plantains

From the front gate to the front room, you can feel the calm, one-ness of Jamaican hospitality. We were greeted at the gate and lead to our seats by a wonderfully positive gentleman who welcomed us to our first visit and took our order with a smile. We tried the Jerk Chicken with Bread. Served with rice and cabbage. All very flavorful and well portioned. Couldn't pass up trying several Pies. The beef patty was solid...but that Jerk Chicken is SOOOOO good, it was the Chicken patty that edged out above the veggie and beef. All were baked with the best patty crust any hand pie could offer. We're going back and this time we're bringing the girls because the other folks dining there were raving about the Ox tail. Wife loves Ox tail and we had no room in our belly to give it a go. Also, recommend the Watermemlon juice. It was perfect with the spices of the Jerk Chicken.

Oh goodness was this great! What an experience from when you walk into the door til you pay. Just a treat. Maybe one of the best restaurants in the country. The space is bright, alive, loud, and fun. It feels like Haitian fine dining should feel. Everything about it evokes Haitian vibe from the colors to the noise to the smell. Then comes the cocktails, these were out of this world amazing! Just everything tasted so well balanced while being so beautiful at the same time. Cocktail kings over here! Their equivalent of an espresso martini is maybe the best riff I've ever had on an espresso martini. Somehow this restaurant is entirely gluten free, you would never expect that from the buns you are served, they are plantain based, but are brioche goodness. The crudo was great, the cauliflower the best version of Cauliflower I've ever had, the greens were so tasty I'd become a vegetarian for them, and the rib so good that I could never become a vegetarian, haha. Truly every dish was amazing, and the flavor party never stopped in your mouth. It feels required to get a baked Haiti, so we did. It was good, but not the pinnacle of the meal by any stretch.

We enjoyed the food on Puerto Rico on our cruise so this was a treat. The restaurant was vibrant with island decor and family photos on the walls. My wife ordered a Mojito and I had a Rum and Coke. The mojito was underwhelming and was missing flavor. On to the food..... I ordered the Mofongo with pork and my wife had the garlic chicken. My meal was moist and tasty along with being filling. The garlic chicken was pounded thin and overcooked, very dry and hard to eat. The accompanying beans, rice and salad were very good. I mentioned the quality or lack of to the waiter (I think was the owner) and he questioned me like I was wrong. No apologies given. I didn't ask for a discount and wasn't given one.

The Marinated Steak was decent and had a good flavor to it, but the Mofongo would be my recommendation.

The culinary experience was truly remarkable, and the customer service was exceptional. The restaurant's location is also highly favorable, contributing to its overall appeal. As a Jamaican who grew up in the Miami neighborhood known as "Little Haiti," I have had ample exposure to Haitian cuisine, particularly griot. My childhood memories include saving my allowance to purchase griot from a Haitian lady's house on Fridays, with the assistance of a neighbor who spoke her language. My first taste of griot occurred when I was 11 years old. I felt compelled to share this background information to establish my credentials in assessing the quality of Haitian cuisine. Tap Tap Cuisine proved to be an exceptional gem in this regard. Plus, my 2 friends who accompanied me are of Haitian background. We all gave it a 10 out of 10! In all areas. From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the owner, creating an immediate sense of camaraderie. By the time we departed, we felt like part of the restaurant's extended family. Tap Tap Cuisine operates as a family-run establishment. The ambiance took me back to an island setting. I will most DEFINITELY be back again! If you are in or is visiting the Portland area. Do yourself a favor and check them out!

Their kindness and friendliness made us feel right at home, and they offered wonderful insights into the food and culture of Belize--a destination we're eager to visit. The menu is delightfully simple, featuring chicken and rice, but don't let that fool you. This isn't like anything you've tasted before! The chicken is bursting with flavor, and the rice is simply to die for. They serve the food in take-out containers, which adds a casual charm to the dining experience--it's actually quite brilliant. Portland, you absolutely need to check these folks out and tell all your friends. Love Belizean is a culinary treasure that deserves all the attention it can get.

Show this place some love, they deserve it, maybe the best cart there. And, their friendliness (just so many smiles) and their packaging and presentation is so nice. Real paper bags, sturdy, environmentally-friendly containers, and look at that cute sample spoon. Really shows that while its about the food, sharing with the community is also about hospitality and the little extra care. Thank you so much, Chef!
