I was really happy to find this spot. I've been familiar with Haitian cuisine for many years, so…read moreI'm always excited when I come across a place serving good, authentic Haitian food. The grill tasted very fresh and flavorful. They also serve a gravy on the side which was surprisingly good -- and that's saying a lot because I'm usually not much of a gravy person. The pikliz was tasty; my only complaint is that I would have liked a little more of it, although that may have just been something I should have checked before leaving. The rice was excellent. It had a really nice flavor with a slightly peppery finish and honestly stood out as some of the better rice I've had at a Haitian restaurant. They also offer a house tea that goes along with the name Choublak (which the owner Marcus mentioned means hibiscus). The tea contains sorrel and is definitely worth trying if you visit. Another thing I appreciated was seeing a hands-on owner. Marcus is both the owner and the chef, and it shows in the attention to the food and the way he interacts with customers. Overall, if you're looking to try Haitian food, this is a great spot to check out. They have a small sit-down area and offer lunch specials Wednesday through Friday, which is a good opportunity to stop by and try the menu.

I honestly have no idea what is going on here, but this experience was extremely concerning…read more I ordered from a restaurant listed on Uber Eats as "Taco Namas #1." I specifically ordered the pulled pork ultimate taco bowl salad, and what arrived looked nothing like the photo or description on Uber Eats. It did not appear to be pulled pork, and the rice, beans, and corn listed in the description were completely missing. What I received was basically chunks of pork with lettuce, tomato, and onions. What concerns me even more is what I discovered afterward. I checked the address listed for "Taco Namas #1" on Uber Eats to see where the restaurant was located, and the address brought me to this restaurant. I then searched for Taco Namas #1 independently and could not find any restaurant by that name on Google, Yelp, or anywhere else I searched. So I would genuinely like an explanation: Who exactly is Taco Namas #1, and why is an Uber Eats restaurant operating under that name using this restaurant's address? Between receiving food that did not match what I ordered and then discovering the confusion surrounding the restaurant name and address, I am extremely dissatisfied and concerned about this experience.

There's a small seating area with a few tables, and the food came out pretty quickly. You could tell it was fresh and made to order.

My long time college roomate came down for our friends wedding this weekend. Being hatian and all,…read moreI wanted to take him to an authentic spot so he can get the real SFL experience. Going in, the interior was very clean and clearly gave off carribean vibes. The tables inside were jumping with other patrons, but we were seated rather quickly. For dinner, we ordered 1x griot dinner complete (meaning the platter; rice & peas, pikliz, plaintains), 1x lassot complete (fried turkey), and 2x pate codes (think of a loaded hatian empanada; we ordered 1x fish and 1x chicken). Moving on with our review; everything was excellent! The griot had a nice crispy exterior but was tenderly seasoned inside. The lassot was surprisingly moist and crispy too. To include, the contrast of the onions marinated with the green seasoning on top. The rice & peas were cooked perfectly as they were light as air and plantains were crispy & salted nicely too. The pate codes were huge in size and flavor as well! My preference would be the original over the fish, but they both packed a tangy, savory, and spicy punch! Moreover, we had the pleasure of meeting and being served by the owner, who was very friendly and attentive. Overall, we were highly satisfied with our experience and would definitely recommend this spot for anybody who's looking for quality hatian cusuine. Final verdict 5/5!

My husband got the griot, which was flavorful but dry. I got the stewed chicken which was slightly overcooked and underseasoned. I did enjoy the fried smashed plantains, but the rice and beans tasted weirdly ashy? We barely touched those. The pikliz was only ok. Overall, I would not return as I was disappointed.
