You'd definitely get lost without Google Maps. The Jerk Chicken was incredible - well-marinated and grilled perfectly. The outside was well-churned and crispy, while the inside was tender and juicy, with a hint of sweetness that was just right. The Oxtail was also amazing. The meat could practically fall off the bone. It also had a sweet flavour, and the sauce paired perfectly with the rice. Both the yellow rice and pea rice were flavourful, and the festival was yum too. The store owner was extremely friendly, patiently explaining each dish, providing extra plates, and checking in on us to ensure we had a great experience. Super nice guy. The ambience was nice too. Jamaican decor and music created a laid-back vibe that had us feeling like we'd been transported to the islands. Highly recommend this spot.

It was almost closing time plus we were antsy to get home after a long drive so I called in my order to pick up. Right when the gentleman answered the phone, I knew I made the right choice. He was courteous and just wonderfully delightful. I went with the usual - jerk chicken and curry goat. When I got to the store, I saw my food was packed and ready to go. The man I spoke to 10 minutes earlier greeted me and started a pleasant convo while he punched in my order asking where I was from, if I looked him up, etc. It was a nice way to end the day and the food is real amazing Jamaican stuff to top it off. Another bonus is the vinegar based coleslaw which is perfect if you don't prefer creamy slaws (like me). This is a hidden gem!

So unless you drive around or Pan De Vida is recommended to you by word of mouth, you might not think about stopping here for a bite to eat. I'm glad that we took a chance and stopped by to eat here. Our food was quickly prepared and we were served in timely manner. During our first visit, my friends and I ordered the Sautéed Steak with Yellow Rice, the Mango BBQ Pork Sandwich, the Tripleta with White Rice, a Small Side of Sweet Plantains, and Pork Empanadas. The food was all very tasty. So, if you are looking for a new place to check out while you are stationed at Fort Drum or visiting Evans Mills. I recommend giving Pan De Vida Cafe a chance.

As a frequent traveler…read morewith extensive experience dining internationally, I was particularly looking forward to experiencing authentic Jamaican cuisine. The staff was nice, however the food that make the cut My first visit revealed limited menu availability, resulting in my ordering a chicken soup, it had a nice flavor and no meat. But because it was late, I tried this place again the next day. My second visit, undertaken with the hope of a more positive experience, unfortunately proved more disappointing. The lunch special, priced at $15.50, consisted of a single chicken thigh and a meager serving of rice and beans. The accompanying pumpkin chicken soup seemed significantly diluted from my previous visit, lacking meats and no dumplings. The oxtails were old and had a foul smell to them as well as the rice was mushy... maybe two days old... yes old!!! I trash them. The health department really needs to check this out!!! The overall quality of the food fell short of expectations, particularly Jamaican's are known for good food, and considering the price. Its like kids playing in the kitchen! While I understand that this may be the only Jamaican restaurant in town, this does not excuse the provision of subpar food at inflated prices. I believe there is significant potential for improvement in both portion size and food quality to better reflect the pride and culinary excellence typically associated with Jamaican cuisine. I hope that my feedback will be considered constructively to enhance the dining experience for future patrons.
