The pickled warm cabbage goes great with the chicken and rice. I got the wings and Mac and cheese special as well. I didn't care for the wings, too fatty for my liking but my boyfriend liked them. The max and cheese was very cheesy. I should've put some hot sauce on it but it was great. I wanted plantains but the woman working told me they would take ten minutes and I could tell she didn't feel like making them. So I'll get them next time when we both aren't in a rush. Very low key, authentic spot. You go in, order and leave.

I think this is some of the best food in the Cleveland area. They prepare each order individually…read morewith care and attention. You will feel like you stepped off the streets of Cleveland into the Caribbean. The seasoning is just what it should be, spicy, and the jerk chicken has real delicious complex seasoning, not sweetish mild barbecue sauce like some other places. You can order milder jerk but why. Serving sizes are ample and you can have more than one meal if you can stop yourself from eating the whole thing in one sitting. The sides are all good too. I could have just the cabbage and rice or Mac and cheese and be happy. There's always a line, sometimes out the door, and be prepared for a reasonable wait. This is good food. It's very small inside and has a chair or two, no dining in.

A very solid fried chicken spot. I ordered the 3pc whole wing with fries. The meal comes with…read morecornbread, cole slaw and a special sauce. Let's start with the chicken. It has a nice outer crunch and is well seasoned but not overwhelming with it. You can see the cracked pepper on the skin. It's juicy and cooked well. I do prefer a more cruncher skin however, but this is preference. Chicken alone is a 9/10. This may be controversial but Cole slaw is FIRE to me lol. I consider myself a slaw connoisseur. I enjoy it with numerous meals and meats. The slaw here is yummy. Nice crunch of cabbage and carrot. Mayo base and the perfect ratio of mayo and cabbage 10/10. Every group has a weak link and that is the fries. They were hard. They are shoestring fries and it can be easy to over cook this style of fry. Next time I will opt for another side option 1/10. The cornbread was ok but flavor wise was different and delicious. When I took a bite of this cornbread, my whole mouth dried. It literally sucked all the moisture from me . However, the flavor is vanilla cake like and just delicious 4/10. I also ordered a beverage called Morir Sonando. This is a Dominican beverage that typically consists of oranges, sugar, milk and ice. A beverage I am a fan of. For those foreign to Morir Sonando, it is very reminiscent of Dairy Queen's orange julius, except way less sweet and less thick. This drink is no short of amazing 10/10. Refreshing. Beef empanadas. Delicious. Get them. Get a side of the sauce 11/10. Lastly, I ordered the tres leches cake (3 milk cake). Perfection at its finest. When you're craving tres leches cake, you want THIS. Upon walking in for pick up, Pica Pollo West was very clean. Which makes my likely hood of returning anywhere higher. The service was average. Nothing worth noting. I will return. I want to try their fish next!

This is an update. Since the school year started again and I've been a couple times. I'm not sure…read morewhy, but they have started using a different type of rice. It almost seems as if it's par boiled as it is plumpish but hard with no tooth-feel. It also has no flavor as if they do not season it at all. It does have a brownish color and kidney beans in it but other than that, it doesn't taste like anything.The chicken in my opinion isn't as good as it used to be. I really don't get a whole lot of jerk flavor from what I should be tasting like thyme, all spice, etc. Not sure if I'll go back but if I do, I'll probably try something different.

A great spot that serves delicious and reasonably priced food!…read more I got the large curry chicken meal ($13) and a beef patty ($3). The curry chicken meal came with a few pieces of chicken, cabbage, plantains, and rice & peas. Everything on the plate was delicious. The chicken was juicy and tender, and it was flavorful but not too spicy. I really enjoyed the plantains, which had the perfect amount of sweetness. And I'm not typically the biggest fan of cabbage, but I like the way Gar and Mar cooks and seasons theirs. But oh my God, THE BEEF PATTY. Next time I come here, I might just make my meal a bunch of beef patties. The curry chicken was good, but the beef patty was absolutely fantastic. The crust was so buttery and flaky, and the filling so flavorful and well-spiced. The patty was so good that I ordered another one for "dessert," though the patty is very much savory. It was a good amount of food for under $20. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was nice and casual.

We have visited Tropical Bay about 3x past 2 weeks or so. Saludos to Joelys that has been our…read morehostess/waitress/ from the very beginning. This place is worth the visit. 1st time: Our waitress was Janayla. It's the first time we have ever seen her, she is new. What a great addition to the team. She was so professional, respectful and you can really see she loves working with people, all smiles, very attentive and helpful. 2nd time: We are on our way to visit family, we asked if they wanted something to eat. We sent them a link to their website menu, and they texted their order. This time we ordered front in the front. Wilson one of the owners was taking our order. That man gets dressed with patience in his sleeves... lol. He was so good to us as we were trying to get everyone's orders right. 3rd time: Today August 22, 2026 - My husband asked me what do you want for lunch as we were driving back from Ukraine Parade in Parma. I said nothing, not hungry. He said what about Tropical Bay! He knew I would change my mind. This time Joelys took care of us. She's been there ever since we started going. Wonderful young lady and I know she's been rightfully going up the ranks at the restaurant and given more responsibility. She does a great job! Already knows what I order and all the intricacies. She's always happy to see the customers. Through every visit if the owners are there, especially Diana she makes it a point to come see us and takes a few minutes to say hello. They are salt to this earth wonderful, hardworking people. My favorite: Fried Pork with Tostones - I love all their food but I'm Latina so I make all these foods, I don't make the pork bites and tostones. These are melt in your mouth. My husbands: Tri Fongo with Shrimp, Cuban Rice, Rice and Bean The food I took my guest that they loved, Beef Pastelillos/Empanadas, Dominican Chicken, Butter Chicken, Puerto Rican Rice and Beans The place looks so cute and celebratory. Music playing, the Tropical Feeling, it's so nice. You will not be disappointed. I have severe food allergies and this is the only place I trust with my life.

We each…read moreordered mojitos, he had the lime and I had the passion fruit and both were absolutely excellent and so refreshing. For food, we shared two appetizers and honestly could have made a meal out of them. The Dominican Flag was incredible: crispy fried plantains, perfectly melty fried cheese, Dominican salami and smoky longaniza, all topped with pickled red onions that added the perfect zing. Every bite was packed with flavor and felt like true comfort food. We also loved the Loaded Yuca Balls; crispy golden yuca stuffed with cheese and topped with roasted pineapple, jalapeños, sour cream, and bacon. The combination of sweet, spicy, cheesy, and savory was amazing. Everything tasted fresh and homemade, the atmosphere was welcoming, and the service was great. We'll definitely be back to try more from the menu!

I was in town over the weekend to watch a couple of Guardians games, checked into my hotel, raised…read morethe blinds to my room, saw the storefront sign for Unruly Jamaican Cuisine across the street, and my interest was piqued. This unassuming spot is positioned mostly for takeout, with few seats for those who choose to dine in, and offers a limited menu. Offers are made at the counter through a takeout window. I often gauge Caribbean or Jamaican restaurants by how well they prepare their oxtail stews. Unruly's stew had a little more heat than I anticipated ( guessing their recipe actually uses scotchbonnets vs. jalapenos), and it was delicious. The server even added in extra jus into my order ... As if she knew my heart. The portion was generous and reasonably priced. There also were bottles of fun, Jamaican sodas available for purchase. Overall, a good restaurant to satiate cravings. If this place were in Chicago, I'd frequent it often.

Presentation, taste, ambiance, music. Everything! During the pandemic, with dine-in options reduced significantly, we're all left wondering what food will taste like and if it loses any of its quality or flavor due to the delayed ability to enjoy it immediately. Well, this is not the case with this place. The jerk is spicy, flavorful and absolutely delicious. Be warned, food quantities are limited. So you'll need to get your order sooner than later.

Pretty good Jamaican food near me in Lyndhurst! I am a fan of Jamaican food as a whole (Gar and Mar…read moreis the best sit-down place and Irie Jamaican is the best take out place in Cleveland). But I am no expert. I ordered a large portion of jerk chicken, rice and beans, and steamed cabbage. The large gives 3 chicken portions instead of 2. I am out of food at home since I am leaving to go out of the country for almost two weeks but still needed food for today and tomorrow so I got the large so I could have leftovers. The large was $17. My financial and calorie budgets didn't allow me to also get a patty but they did look delish! My to go order was ready for me 3 minutes after I ordered it so I left to eat half at home. My car started smelling a little like cigarettes with the food in the car, for some reason. As a non-smoker, I wasn't thrilled having that smell in my car for the 10 minute drive back home. Isn't take out food supposed to make your car smell enticing and wonderful? Well, hopefully the food tasted better than it smelled! And it did! I liked both the jerk chicken and the rice and beans better at Irie. The jerk chicken I had a month or so ago at Irie was life changing! This place puts way too much sauce on everything. And it was a little too spicy for me! However, the steamed cabbage better at Taste of Jamaica! The large portion did provide me with leftovers that I will eat for lunch tomorrow so I am happy for that! I enjoyed my food at Taste of Jamaica overall, but for a dollar or two more, I'll get my craving at Irie. But the food here is good though and made very quickly so don't be deterred if you intend on trying this place out!
