    First, the food was amazing. The red snapper in sauce is a must if you like spicy fish (you're…read moregoing to get the entire fish, head and all, so be cognizant of that if you don't like your food looking back at you). I have never had a plantain dish that I liked, until I tried their fried plantain, wow it was amazing. I wish I'd known the drinks didn't have free refills, I would have had water. It was probably on the menu, but since they don't go off the menu (instead a board tells you what's available on that day) I didn't pay as much attention to it as I should have. Our server was the only one working. Out front and in the kitchen. It took a while to get the food because of that, and she wasn't as attentive to the table because she was also busy cooking. That in mind, the service was excellent.

    Ok, where do I start... I am from San Antonio and this is my 2nd time coming to this restaurant…read more The first time I was in awe, I was speaking to lady up front in Creole and even picked up a bottle of Haitian Rum. The food was amazing, I mean I couldn't stop eating it and couldn't wait to come back again.... Fast forward to a year later (boy was I excited. Because we do not have a Haitian Restaurant out there so of course, I'm ready to dive right in again... Immediately after entering, I didn't see the face that was there the last time and notice that the menu that was on the wall was not there and something was different from the last time... we looked at the menu and noticed something different right away.......... The had Haitian Food, Jamaican Food, and African Food, didn't really think anything of it and just ordered the Griot, Oxtail, and the Jerk Chicken. When the food came out I realized that nothing really looked the way it should... The Griot plate was plain, no salad and no rice (we had to tell them to give us some rice).. There are two different styles of the Griot (simple or Complete) if you know , you know.... The OxTail wasn't bad but not exactly what I was use to growing up in Florida... As we were driving away from the restaurant is when I noticed the name of the restaurant had changed to "faith African Cuisine" and my first response to that was ...." There is NOOOO way you can be a master of all three of the most amazing food you will ever eat and have it served in one location"... oh, the Piklies was not a hit AT ALL... it's bad. Bad.... I believe the previous owners sold and if they did, they did the Haitian community a disservice by not delivering the quality food they were use to delivering.. So the plate was mixed of all three cultures..... the rice was African, the meat was either Haitian or Jamaican and the plantains were sweet not Green fried plantains... I normally don't write bad reviews but I was very dissatisfied over all..

    Stopped here with my husband to break a long drive and loved it. A fairly simple place but they had…read morecute artistic napkin holders and some decorations including a flag of the Dominican Republic which helped clarify it was also Dominican food, not just Puerto Rican which I initially thought because they served mofongo. We got everything to go and it was outstandingly delicious. Here's what we tried: -Pastel en hoja that's filled with sauteed eggplant. it's masa is made with plantains and/ or other tubers, then cooked in plantain/ green banana leaf. It was delicious. -Mofongo. We got Mofongo solo without meat- A dish made from fried and mashed green plantains and garlic sauce. It's so far the best mofongo I have ever had. The pieces of fried green plantains were super freshly fried and the mofongo had strong garlic flavors. Vegetable empanada: To our surprise the vegetables were loose inside and were pickled/ tart which was delicious. The empanada dough was so fresh and so delicious and we both felt we never had such a seriously good and fresh empanada. This place made a super strong start to a food-er trip! Very vegan and vegetarian friendly. My general rating system: 1 star: I would stay away 2 stars: Has some good things about it but I generally don't recommend. 3 stars: Pretty good. I wouldn't go out of my way to go back but a decent place 4 stars: Great place. I would go back. 5 stars: I highly recommend stopping whatever you are doing and making plans to try it out! An Evie favorite!

    Cute small place, but with a chef with a lot of pride in his cooking, it was delicious and would…read morecertainly go back!
