Other food already comes in a takeout container so it's easy to grab and go. My favorite things I've had there are definitely the oxtail, brown stew, chicken, and the curry chicken. For their sides, their garlic mashed potatoes is actually amazing and you can definitely tell there's a lot of garlic in it, lol when you pour some of the brown stew gravy on top of it, it is literally chefs kiss. Everyone there has always been super nice highly recommend if you're in the area they won't disappoint

My first time at Flavaz Jamaican Grille and it won't be my last. I tried their brown stew chicken…read morewith rice and peas, steamed cabbage, and plantains. Everything was seasoned so well and the chicken was tender falling off the bone. This was the perfect balanced savory dish. I had the mango sweet tea which I loved. It wasn't overly sweet and I got a nice good taste of the mango. The vibe here was casual, there is plenty of seating area, and the service was great. I highly recommend dining at this location.

I squally get the fried turkey meal (comes with rice and peas and pikliz) or griot, so you can't really go wrong with either option. Based off of that I'm sure their legume is delicious as well If you're ever in the area on Jan 1st make sure to pick up some soup joumou!

It's been a while since I've given a spot a one star rating, but Irie Bay definitely deserves it…read more The food being served here isn't Jamaican at all and has no flavor whatsoever. If I were Jamaican I'd be completely offended after eating bland baked chicken and shredded lettuce disguised as jerk chicken and cabbage! Let's not even mention the so called rice and peas which should've been called "rocks and peas" due to the rice being severely undercooked and hard in texture. Needless to say, I chose the option of just going to bed hungry yesterday night instead of returning to the establishment and telling that little rude old lady at the front about her garbage food.

500 stars for this Columbian/Dominican restaurant! No, that's not a typo. The food is just THAT…read moregood! Open just two years, the hours are Mon & Tues 11:30 AM to 7 PM; Thurs/Fri/Sat 11:30 AM to 9 PM; & Sunday 11:30 AM to 5 PM. The restaurant is closed on Wed. A big fan of Oxtail, the tender Oxtail (Rabo Encendido Al Vino) @ $19.95 that arrived @ our table was soaking in a bath of special wine sauce. It was the BEST Oxtail I've EVER TASTED. I cannot wait to return for a second helping! The two sides I selected (rice & pinto beans) were unbelievably delicious-- so flavorful (see pic). The "Iconic Columbian Dish," which is Bandeja Paisa, @ $18.95 was also EXCELLENT. You MUST SEE THE PHOTO! It was a HUGE entree that consisted of bacon, grilled steak, rice, beans, fried egg, pork rind, chorizo, maduro, arepa, & avocado. (The steak was especially tender & delicious.) Be prepared to take home lots of leftovers! The Fried Calamari (Calamares) appetizer @ $10.95 was very good-- not at all chewy. The Yuca Fries included in it were GREAT, & the Sweet Plantains side was good. We are excited to Return & Return & Return so we can once again order the sides of rice & beans; try the Arepa Con Queso appetizer; the Stewed Goat; Milanesa Pork Loin; Grilled Skirt Steak; Yellow Rice w/ Chicken; & one or more of the five delicious-sounding Monfongos (a Puerto Rican plantain dish). Oh, & of course once again enjoy more Oxtail & the Iconic Columbian Dish! There are three desserts on the menu: Tres Leches; Flan de Leche; & Flan de Maracuya @ $4 to $4.50. Beverages include Columbian & American sodas; juices; Lemonade; Iced Tea; Bottled Water; 5 Coffees; 1 Tea; & Pony Malta (a nonalcoholic energy drink). There are DAILY LUNCH SPECIALS that range from $9.95 to $12.50. They include soup on Mon, Tues, Sat, & Sun; Stewed Chicken on Thurs; & Sautéed Beef/Chicken on Fri. (Tripe is the Sunday soup.) The dining room holds 10 tables; it was very clean. The interior decor is casual & comfortable, & the clientele is mainly from Columbia & Puerto Rico (according to Manager Fabian). We were the only Caucasians seated here @ the time. I am optimistic that once word speads about the quality of the food, more diners will choose to eat here. It's truly a SUPERIOR restaurant. Although the chef gets a loud round of applause for his immense talent, Manager Fabian was also impressive! I had never before seen a restaurant manager work so hard beside his staff. He was front & center assisting w/ every aspect of the business. He also took the time to approach every table to assure there were no customer concerns. Amazed w/ our food, we spoke w/ him at least three times. He answered our menu questions & checked on our service. Just an incredible person to manage a restaurant! There's no question we'll return! Five days later I finished my Oxtail w/ rice & beans. It all tasted just as DELICIOUS on Day 5 as it did the day I ordered it. That speaks VOLUMES!

It's a new Puerto Rican bakery in the shopping plaza on the corner of Lithia Pinecrest and Lumsden…read moreRd. It's near the Wooden Spoon Diner. It's family owned and local to Brandon. They sell pastries, desserts, breads, sandwiches, and more. It's great that they are close to home. I absolutely love their guava & cheese quesitos. They are so delicious! I'm not usually a fan of this combination, but I love this particular version. Maybe because the cheese filling is sweeter. They also have strawberry and pineapple turnovers. I've only had the pineapple which I haven't seen in this area. It was great! The guava pastries are also a winner. I'd go back many more times just for these items alone. The mallorca wasn't my favorite. It's good, but it's more of a bread consistency than a sweet roll. The cheese and guava on top was very good. It was just too dense in my opinion. But hey, what do I know? I'm just a Puerto Rican gringa whose parents were born on the island. I'm guessing there are two different versions. The version that I know (and my mother loved) is the softer one that is more like a sweet roll. I've also had better ham & cheese mallorca sandwiches. However, I will try their other sandwiches and fritter appetizers for lunch one day. Other than that, everything else I've tried was wonderful. I love that the turnover and pastries are flaky and full of flavor, unlike some other bakeries. They are perfect! I do want to try the donuts and tornillos. I also want to try the breads. There will definitely be more visits, and very soon.
