My permanent date, who has been to Jamaica and pronounced her jerk chicken absolutely authentic. I, who hasn't been to Jamaica, was delighted with the oxtails. As I was working with a plastic fork, there was a bit of using my fingers to pick the meat off the bones, which was completely worth it. She had to caution me to pause, as the quantity of rice and beans is more than any single person should eat in one sitting. Survey. Helpful hint: get a small if you don't want leftovers, but the large will make for a nice lunch the next day. Also, this place gets five stars despite not having sodas on tap. The joint is too small for that amenity, but they do have some Jamaican sodas in a fridge which looked delightful.

The last time I visited this business, it was still called Los Pollos Rotisserie and Cuban Bakery…read more That shows you how long it has been because House of Cuban Flavor has been the name for more than a few years now under the same ownership. It's located in one of the middle suites between an auto parts store and a supermarket in an Otay strip mall of Chula Vista. Parking was plentiful as there were way more spaces in the lot than customers even at peak hours. There were a few tables placed on the sidewalk in front of the suite, but no seating was available inside. The coffee making station was to the right when you walked in. To the left of the service counter were glass displays containing the baked goods and desserts. Four small menu boards hung behind the counter. From left to right, the category on each board was Sandwiches, Cuban Specialties, Plates & Combos, and Bowls. Several trays in the display case were empty during my afternoon visit. The cashier ensured me that nothing was sold out. Items that were not displayed still could be ordered and made fresh by the kitchen. The Cuban Specialties were broken down further into Stuffed Potato Balls, Empanadas, and Pastries. Each offering cost $2.45 regardless of its composition. That was disappointing because I have encountered similar bakeries in which there were similar choices for less than $2 apiece. My order started with one of each of the potato balls (meat, spicy chicken, jalapeno & cheese) including a variety that wasn't listed (spicy pork). These were fried and then placed inside a cardboard takeout container. Each of the four had a slightly different color and/or texture to distinguish them from each other. The size was slightly smaller than a tennis ball. The meat filling was my favorite because it had the least heat as the other three contained noticeable spiciness. I also bought a meat empanada, a guava pastry, and a mango & cheese pastry. The pastry dough was light and flaky. The portion size was less impressive for $2.45. I recall when some of these were sold for one dollar less so the value has decreased over time. The fruit flavor of the guava and mango respectively was sweet but not over the top. For this recent experience at House of Cuban Flavor, I gave a 3.5 star rating.

I came here because of the two Yelp reviews, so I was a little hesitant…read more We were seated right away and our server was pretty good and attentive. This is not your high end seafood place. This place is very efficient and the food came out very quickly. **Dont ask for straws because they did away with it to protect the environment. Pretty cool. They said they will eventually get rid of styrofoam too. They do not sell alcohol here. Seafood and beer goes well together but not here. (Sad emoji) We ordered the aguachiles which was very good, a ceviche tostada with fish and shrimp which was ok, and a seafood platter which was pretty good. There are better places but if you want a quick fix, this is your place to go. You will be seated under a patio setting so if the weather is nice, then you will be fine. If the weather is hot, you will feel it. Another thing that bothered me was the flies. You have to constantly shoo them away. I came to try it but I personally wont be back.

The meat was tender…read moreenough, but I felt like the dish was lacking the bold, savory flavors I typically look for in Jamaican food. The service was good--no complaints there. I called my order in ahead of time and was told it would be about an hour. When I arrived, I only ended up waiting another 5-7 minutes, and once my order was being prepared, the food came out within about 10-15 minutes. The staff was friendly and efficient. The service felt like what you'd expect from a traditional Jamaican restaurant: no frills, just straightforward and to the point. The location itself is small and has that classic Jamaican shack feel. The doors were open, letting in the breeze, and you could smell food cooking on the grill out back. The parking lot is on the smaller side, but it wasn't a major issue for a takeout order. While this isn't my top Jamaican spot in San Diego, I wouldn't rule it out completely. If I was craving Jamaican food and happened to be nearby, I'd consider stopping by again and trying something different from the menu.

Everything is flavorful and satisfying, and I usually order it to go. The only downside is the price. It's always been on the expensive side, but seeing one oxtail plate go up to $31 (+tax) makes it hard to justify coming here as often as I used to. The quality is still there, but the higher price means it'll probably be more of once a year meal. One thing to be aware of is that there's a surcharge even when paying with a debit card. Legally you're not supposed to add a charge when using debit card but I paid it anyways. It was an unexpected charge that other customers may want to know about. Ambience was okay. Service was nice. Overall, the food is delicious and worth trying, but between the rising prices and the added card surcharge, I'll likely be visiting once in a blue moon.
