They ARE open Sunday, contrary to some of the earlier reviews. Cash only. It was pretty hot in there, but food is nicely packed for take-away. They have a fridge of unique Jamaican sodas. The jerk chicken was excellent. They said it was spicy, but nah, like a '4' on the universal 1-10 Thai spice level. You'll be fine. Curry fried chicken was excellent. Come hungry.

Located in the Worcester Public market, this Jamaican food place had great oxtail. While we waited…read morethey were so kind and offered us fried plantains as an appetizer as well which were very tasty. I had the oxtail meal which is offered only on Saturday. Meal was huge. It was super moist and tasty. Spices were just right. I've had a few other Jamaican spots and it always gave me heartburn but here--no heartburn. So it was a good day. Enjoy folks.

Wow! Extremely impressed with the food here! Also love that they have Medalla. We started with the…read morequeso frito with guava sauce. Gorgeous presentation with an edible flower and gold dust. We also had a side order of maduros for an app. Delicious! The maduros were legit my favorite thing here, although everything was great. For a main course I had shrimp in garlic sauce with mamposteo. Served on a huge plate, there was a giant portion of rice and a small side salad as well as many good sized shrimp. Super delicious and the food was piping hot. Service was great and I loved the music here, which was a mix of reggaeton, Bad Bunny and Karol G but played at a low, chill volume so it didn't distract from conversation. The interior is sort of casual but with some nice touches like a wall of greenery with a PR flag. Our server was super friendly and this is a family business. We parked in the private lot in the back, which is reserved for tenants of the building. A guy who appeared to be associated with the barber shop in the same building told us it was safe to leave our car there to visit the restaurant. I'd recommend parking near the barbershop since they seemed to keep their door open and would see anyone messing with your car. There were a number of homeless people here begging but they did not bother us. Only reasons for not giving five stars has nothing to do with the food, atmosphere or service. I found the women's bathroom in need of a cleaning and they also have a small convenience fee that was not mentioned anywhere but was added to our bill. Additionally, be careful to review your check because they automatically add a 20 percent gratuity.

Thinking about this experience makes my heart hurt. We got there with some friends who had never…read morevisited PR it was 5 of us in total. Being such a famous restaurant we expected the best , our friend first time in Puerto Rico so we wanted to show them our tipical PR food. First our waiter seemed like he did not want to be there, second we ordered the food an it took forever (over an hour and a half), and lastly when the food got to the table it was cold, it seemed like it had been sitting in the kitchen for quite a while. The womens bathroom was pathetic!!! I have never seeing something like that (other than a porto-potty) the trash was full to the top, and the floor had more trash than the trashcans, and toilet, forget it!! I cannot describe the condition they were in.
