Elsa's Place in Jacksonville - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

God I love this place bless this woman & her family. She is the sweetest! The food is great & fairly priced! We love you Elsa! 🤎

This place is a hidden gem. I’m always in search of a good Roti. While searching Google on the way from Wilmington to Virginia I found Elsa’s. I pulled in the back parking lot and the place looked closed and kinda dark. Thank goodness I got out the car and went in. Miss Elsa is a really nice person. She got jokes too. The Chicken Roti was flavorful and had just enough pepper sauce to make the chicken taste just right. The Dhalpuri in the roti skin was all over the place just like I like it. My wife ate mines so i had to go back and get another one. Sorry for no pics but we tore that food up . While I was waiting for my second Roti, everyone waiting for orders convinced me to get the Oxtails. I’m glad I listened to them. For $14.99(forgive me if I’m wrong) for a small. I got more oxtails than a $20 something plate from somewhere else. The oxtails were tender and melts in your mouth. I’m sorry I was just passing through and I wish I had somewhere like this where I live. Thank you Miss Elsa for Blessing my stomach and making feel at home like I’m in Trinidad.

Delicious food! Miss Elsa has been there for about 18 years and this is a family run business. Everything is very flavorful here and it’s a must try! They have seating inside and many people order take out here. The collards are some of the best I’ve had and the Oxtail is very tender and good! I can’t wait to try more things here.

Favorite place to get authentic Caribbean food.

The service is top tier! First time there and will definitely not be the last!!! The food is spoon good and the oxtails super tender. Go! You will not be disappointed ♥️

Delicious food and big portions. We had the Ox tails and Ribs. So good!! Prices were just right. I highly recommend it.

When I tell you they have the best oxtails and curry chicken. Omg this food is so good. The coco bread and plantains as well, delicious. Service is great as well. I will continue coming back for more.

I love everything about this place!!! The food, the people, the atmosphere.. it feels just like going home for the holidays, every time I go.

Curry chicken is great. Was given a sample of oxtail to try for next time. Will be ordering oxtail and curry chicken when we go back.

Hooray for Elsa's! Basic Caribbean Soul! Hearty, Delicious 😋 Food! Plentiful at great prices! Family Run, with Excellent Service!

Food is pretty decent, very friendly service.

This food was so good omg. At first I didn't know what to expect but I'm definitely going back again. I love the oxtails and the portion size was truly worth it.

100% Authentic and flavorful cuisine. Also, the staff are incredibly hospitable and the owner is a retired 30 year Marine. Highly recommend. Will be coming back.

Okay this place was the biggest and most exciting surprise. We were headed to another place when we smelled the most delicious scent coming from Elsa's place and they were just opening so we gave it a shot. I could not have been happier with that decision. I got the jerk chicken which was absolutely phenomenal. The two people with me got the fried pork chops which I got to try and they were also incredible. The fries they served were fried to absolute perfection. My collards and fried zucchini, I just couldn't get enough of. Oh! Definitely try the Jamaican soda. I tried the cream soda and it was probably the best I ever had. Every single person in that building was so friendly, helpful, and attentive. I never had to wonder about anything. They knew what was in the food, which is great for someone with food allergies. They were willing to help us out at any point. They checked on us often to assure our satisfaction. Seriously don't skip on this place. You'll be seriously missing out. I've added the menu that they gave us when we left so it's recent! Editing to add: we cannot stop going here when we get the chance. This last time we got the pork chops and oxtail. I have yet to get anything I didn't like. The service is ALWAYS top notch. Don't sleep on this place!!

The best place and people ever. Greens so good make you want to slap urself OMG!!!!

I just had the goat and the collard greens goat, and potato salad very good.

I love this place. The people there have always been so helpful and friendly. You get alot.of food at a reasonable price.

I've been coming here for years. Excellent food

Amazing homemade potato salad!!! Definitely will be back!!

Visiting Jacksonville NC, I was so happy that I found this place. I googled and saw that they had very good so my husband and I decided to try it out. No regrets. We ordered oxtail and goat with rice and peas, macaroni and cheese and fried okra, chicken, roti, and jerk chicken. Got a lot of food and it tasted great, and the price was reasonable. I wish I had a restaurant with great tasting Caribbean food like this in Virginia Beach. I tried them all in VB, and they are all mediocre. Keep doing what you’re doing Mrs. Elsa. Will certainly be coming back to your restaurant when we are back in Jacksonville. Trini to the bone🇹🇹

They are so friendly and the food was great! The price was fair and the amount of food you get is amazing. I ordered the jerk chicken and my husband ordered jerk burger. My jerk chicken was a little salty but I like how flavorful the jerk chicken is and how much of a spicy kick it has to it. I've ordered jerk chicken in other places before but they never provided this much heat to their jerk chicken. Whenever I see an establishment have collard greens available, I always order it and my goodness their collard greens are FANTASTIC. I will 100% be ordering their collard greens again. I took a bite out of my husband's jerk burger and the meat was very soft, packed full with spices but too salty. We both tried the mac and cheese but it was kind of bland. I read a lot of great reviews about their amazing mac and cheese so I was surprised to find it so lacking. There doesn't seem to be any a/c and it can get pretty hot in the place so I recommend always ordering and bringing the food home. Overall I still would recommend this place and plan on visiting it again. I can't wait to try out other foods at Elsa's Place in the future! And of course with collard greens, lol.

My wife loves their vegan lasagna! Said it’s the BEST she has ever had! Very nice people! Not many places to get excellent vegan food in SC,

Pound for pound, this is the best food in all of Jacksonville. I've lived here for over 10 years now. I've eaten at dozens of places, and reviewed many of them, and Elsa's takes the crown without question. That mythical "dingy hole in the wall with incredible food" that everyone refers to in any city you go? This is the one. It's a small little dimly lit old building in the center of old school downtown Jville. It doesn't look very pretty, but letting that deter you from ordering here would be a miscalculation of the highest order. What you will find inside is a small family owned restaurant run by an older lady named Elsa from Trinidad and her sons. The food they cook is prepared with the heart and soul that you will only find in a restaurant like this. Every order is gigantic, and reasonably priced. The rice is to die for, the collard greens will likely be the best you've ever had, the jerk chicken is spicy and full of layers of flavor cooked to perfection, the mac and cheese as a side can't be beaten, I cant imagine a better side of mac and cheese. Fried and smothered pork chops are both excellent. You can also find classic Caribbean favorites here like curry goat (only on certain days) and oxtail, beef patties, fried plantains, cocoa bread, Jamaican ginger beer etc. I've never tried anything here that wasn't incredible. The ONLY downside is that they've recently been working a shorter week and are generally closed a few days a week, so check before you plan to order. Other than that, if you are coming even anywhere close to Jacksonville you owe it to yourself to give this place a shot.

This has to be one of the best places in Jacksonville. Friendly service and great food. I got the Jerk Chicken with Green Beans and Collard Greens. The jerk chicken was really good, had Broccoli, Cauliflower, and Peppers mixed with the chicken and rice. The collard greens were one of the best I’ve ever had too. If you come here, which I highly recommend, you have to get the collard greens. The strawberry cake that came with the meal was really moist and had great flavor. (Traducido por Google) Este tiene que ser uno de los mejores lugares en Jacksonville. servicio amable y buena comida. Tengo el Jerk Chicken con judías verdes y col rizada. El pollo jerk era realmente bueno, tenía brócoli, coliflor y pimientos mezclados con el pollo y el arroz. La col rizada también fue una de las mejores que he probado. Si vienes aquí, lo cual recomiendo encarecidamente, tienes que conseguir las coles rizadas. El pastel de fresas que vino con la comida estaba muy jugoso y tenía un gran sabor.

Love this place! Some of the best fresh Jamaican food you will have anywhere especially in the Carolinas. I from DC and grew up With Jamaicans and this is authentic as it gets. The people are very nice as well which is not always easy to get these days. I’m been eating here for years. Everything I come to Jacksonville it’s a must. Well worth the wait and price!

Truly a hidden gem, would absolutely recommend to everybody! (Traducido por Google) Verdaderamente una joya escondida, ¡lo recomendaría absolutamente a todos!

Love love love them ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Traducido por Google) Amo amo amolos ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Everything I've had here has been excellent, the quantities huge, and the prices more than reasonable. Smothered chicken, lemon pepper chicken, fried shrimp, collard greens, jerk chicken, goat, and more. I've had nothing but good food here in multiple visits scattered across multiple years. (Traducido por Google) Todo lo que he probado aquí ha sido excelente, las cantidades son enormes y los precios son más que razonables. Pollo asado, pollo con pimienta de limón, camarones fritos, col rizada, pollo jerk, cabra y más. No he tenido nada más que buena comida aquí en múltiples visitas repartidas a lo largo de varios años.

Haven't had jerk chicken in a while. But this little place had a nice variety of everything. I don't usually eat to many vegetables but for some reason I ate it this day. Must have been very hungry. But it's one of those lil hole in the wall joints if you know what I mean. Those usually the best ones right. (Traducido por Google) Hacía tiempo que no comía pollo a la jerk. Pero este pequeño lugar tenía una buena variedad de todo. No suelo comer muchas verduras, pero por alguna razón lo comí este día. Debe haber tenido mucha hambre. Pero es uno de esos pequeños agujeros en las juntas de la pared si sabes a lo que me refiero. Esos suelen ser los mejores, ¿verdad?

They give you a lot of food but it isn't seasoned, it might look good and smell nice but flavor wise the food is bland. I ordered the oxtails and double mac and it didn't take long for them to make it. I looked around and the place looks.. different, and it's also hard to find; GPS isn't helpful. The food spilled in the bag, I wouldn't say it's worth $16 and there were no customers inside except for me and the workers. I'm not sure if three stars is being generous or not. (Traducido por Google) Te dan mucha comida pero no está sazonada, puede verse bien y oler bien, pero en cuanto al sabor, la comida es sosa. Pedí los rabos de toro y el doble mac y no tardaron en hacerlo. Miré a mi alrededor y el lugar se ve... diferente, y también es difícil de encontrar; El GPS no es útil. La comida se derramó en la bolsa, no diría que vale $16 y no había clientes adentro excepto yo y los trabajadores. No estoy seguro si tres estrellas es ser generoso o no.

Food was delicious!!!!! (Traducido por Google) La comida estaba deliciosa!!!!!

The food was wonderful and there was lots of it. (Traducido por Google) La comida era maravillosa y había mucha cantidad.

This place is a "diamond in the rough". Quite small inside, but the food is the truth. I loved everything I ate and they are some of the nicest people ever. They give you a complimentary piece of cake and it's delicious, but they do not sell it and they really should. (Traducido por Google) Este lugar es un "diamante en bruto". Bastante pequeño por dentro, pero la comida es la verdad. Me encantó todo lo que comí y son algunas de las personas más amables de la historia. Te dan un trozo de pastel de cortesía y es delicioso, pero no lo venden y deberían hacerlo.

I've been eating here for over 10 years and still have no complaints! Everything was delicious as always and the staff were friendly. The food came quickly with generous portions. I will highly recommend. (Traducido por Google) ¡He estado comiendo aquí por más de 10 años y todavía no tengo ninguna queja! Todo estaba delicioso como siempre y el personal era amable. La comida llegó rápidamente con porciones generosas. Lo recomendaré encarecidamente.

I always love me some Caribbean food. You won't beat this restaurant's quality. It's the best out here in Richlands!👍🏾 (Traducido por Google) Siempre me encanta algo de comida caribeña. No superarás la calidad de este restaurante. ¡Es lo mejor aquí en Richlands!👍🏾

This place is BOMB. So good. It's looks like a run down hole in the wall, has weird clown funeral paintings, and they are rockin' Christmas decor in March. But I'm tellin' ya, the food is SOO good that it suddenly becomes really easy to look past the funky atmosphere. The oxtail was perfect. Collards were excellent. I also definitely recommend the baked mac' n cheese side. Pictures don't do the food justice. There is just so much flavor in everything. I'd venture to say this is one of the most delicious restaurants in Jacksonville. Plus Elsa actually works there and you get the joy of supporting a local business. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the amount of sugar in the lemonade, but I assume that's just me and my personal preference. I also got a Chicken sandwich with fries. Chicken sandwich was delicious and comes with fixins like mayo, texas Pete sauce, katchup. Also came with fries that were perfect and I think seasoned with Old Bay seasoning. I'm on vacation here and have eaten at most of the restaurant with reviews over 4 stars on Google. Elsa's was miles better than the rest. If I lived here I'd be obese because I would eat at Elsa's every day. (Traducido por Google) Este lugar es BOMBA. Tan bueno. Parece un agujero en la pared, tiene pinturas funerarias de payasos extraños y están arrasando con la decoración navideña en marzo. Pero te digo, la comida es TAN buena que de repente se vuelve muy fácil mirar más allá de la atmósfera funky. El rabo de toro era perfecto. coles eran excelentes. Definitivamente también recomiendo el lado horneado de macarrones con queso. Las fotos no le hacen justicia a la comida. Hay tanto sabor en todo. Me atrevería a decir que este es uno de los restaurantes más deliciosos de Jacksonville. Además, Elsa trabaja allí y tienes la alegría de apoyar un negocio local. Lo único de lo que no era un gran admirador era la cantidad de azúcar en la limonada, pero supongo que solo soy yo y mi preferencia personal. También compré un sándwich de pollo con papas fritas. El sándwich de pollo estaba delicioso y viene con complementos como mayonesa, salsa texas Pete, katchup. También vino con papas fritas que eran perfectas y creo que sazonadas con el condimento Old Bay. Estoy de vacaciones aquí y he comido en la mayoría de los restaurantes con reseñas de más de 4 estrellas en Google. Elsa's era mucho mejor que el resto. Si viviera aquí sería obeso porque comería todos los días en casa de Elsa.

Food is amazing. (Traducido por Google) La comida es increíble.

Excellent food omg. Smothered Pork chops 😋 (Traducido por Google) Excelente comida Dios mío. Chuletas de cerdo asadas 😋

Amazing authentic Carribean cousine. The Jerk Chicken is so amazing and fall off the bone. The portions are generous and the staff treat you like family. The OX tail is FANTASTIC as well. Been going here years. (Traducido por Google) Increíble cocina caribeña auténtica. El Jerk Chicken es tan increíble y se cae del hueso. Las porciones son generosas y el personal te trata como si fueras de la familia. La cola de BUEY también es FANTÁSTICA. Estado yendo aquí años.

Fantastic! My wife and I had a delicious lunch here today. The smothered chicken was incredible and the oxtail was the best I've tasted. The fried zucchini were perfect and the collard greens WOW! Everything was perfectly seasoned. Nothing fancy (which I'm not a fan of anyway) but it was quaint and the food was fresh and so good! We'll be back soon! (Traducido por Google) ¡Fantástico! Mi esposa y yo tuvimos un delicioso almuerzo aquí hoy. El pollo asado fue increíble y el rabo de toro fue el mejor que he probado. Los calabacines fritos eran perfectos y las coles ¡GUAU! Todo estaba perfectamente condimentado. Nada lujoso (de lo que no soy fanático de todos modos) pero era pintoresco y la comida era fresca y muy buena. ¡Estaremos de vuelta pronto!

I miss eating here with my mama as a kid. Great folk & great food. (Traducido por Google) Extraño comer aquí con mi mamá cuando era niño. Gran gente y buena comida.

This place has amazing food! No matter what you get, I assure you, you will not be disappointed. It would be great if they upgrade the inside a bit, but the food makes up for it 100% (Traducido por Google) ¡Este lugar tiene comida increíble! No importa lo que obtengas, te aseguro que no te decepcionará. Sería genial si mejoraran un poco el interior, pero la comida lo compensa al 100%.

The oxtail, fried zucchini, rice, and plantain is my favorite. Delicious food and great customer service. (Traducido por Google) El rabo de toro, el calabacín frito, el arroz y el plátano macho es mi favorito. Deliciosa comida y excelente servicio al cliente.

They also do take out! (Traducido por Google) ¡¡Guau!! ¡Qué hallazgo! Increíble comida, sabores y servicio! Compré el pollo jerk con col, calabacín y calabaza, y mi mamá el rabo de buey. ¡Mucha comida! Y el pastel de chocolate ¡mmm! ¡También sacan!

This restaurant was the amazing little Jewel Tucktaway in downtown Jacksonville. The food was amazing the family was very friendly I would highly recommend this place.

Great food, large portions, friendly service, good price (Traducido por Google) Buena comida, grandes porciones, servicio amable, buen precio.

We have eaten at Elsa’s Place multiple times. Every single time has been an unforgettable experience. The atmosphere and hospitality of the staff has always been nothing short of welcoming, they make it feel like home. This time we ordered ox tails (which were fall off the bone good) because it was Saturday, along with Mac and cheese along with collard greens. The food never fails to be amazing. The staff threw in some cake which literally melted in your mouth. If you haven’t tried this place yet, you have too! So good! (Traducido por Google) Hemos comido en Elsa's Place varias veces. Cada vez ha sido una experiencia inolvidable. El ambiente y la hospitalidad del personal siempre han sido nada menos que acogedores, lo hacen sentir como en casa. Esta vez pedimos colas de buey (que se caían bien del hueso) porque era sábado, junto con macarrones con queso y col rizada. La comida nunca deja de ser increíble. El personal tiró un poco de pastel que literalmente se derretía en la boca. Si aún no has probado este lugar, ¡también lo has hecho! ¡Tan bueno!

Great food, definitely coming back (Traducido por Google) Buena comida, definitivamente volveré

(Traducido por Google) Sin duda, el mejor lugar de comida caribeña / soul para comer. ¡Mi esposo es caribeño y la mayoría de los lugares son mediocres para nosotros y este lugar nos hizo correr a casa solo por el olor!

My husband and I just ate here for lunch today and the food is delicious! I was very eager to give Elsa's Place a try because of all the outstanding reviews, and I'm so happy we did because I agree with all the good reviews! My husband and I got two trays of food (I love how you're allowed to order two meats in one tray to have more variety). We tried the jerk chicken, goat, oxtail and more goat! All the food was perfectly seasoned. My favorite was the Jerk chicken, and my husband's was the goat! The sides we ordered were flavorful as well! I enjoyed the collard greens and green beans a lot . We will certainly go back to try more. (Traducido por Google) ¡Mi esposo y yo acabamos de almorzar aquí hoy y la comida es deliciosa! Estaba muy ansioso por probar Elsa's Place debido a todas las críticas sobresalientes, y estoy muy feliz de haberlo hecho porque estoy de acuerdo con todas las buenas críticas. Mi esposo y yo recibimos dos bandejas de comida (me encanta cómo puedes pedir dos carnes en una bandeja para tener más variedad). Probamos el pollo a la jamaiquina, el chivo, el rabo de toro y más chivo! Toda la comida estaba perfectamente condimentada. ¡Mi favorito era el pollo Jerk, y el de mi esposo era la cabra! ¡Los lados que pedimos también eran sabrosos! Disfruté mucho la col rizada y las judías verdes. Sin duda volveremos para probar más.

I enjoyed all the food! That jerk chicken was the best that I ever had, the collard greens were delicious, and the Mac and cheese was creamy like I like it. Ms.Elsa and her husband are beautiful spirits and very hospitable! (Traducido por Google) ¡Disfruté toda la comida! Ese pollo jerk fue el mejor que he probado, la col rizada estaba deliciosa y los macarrones con queso estaban cremosos como a mí me gusta. ¡La Sra.

Food was absolutely amazing, hospitality more than one could imagine, wife loved it, and finally really great price for what you get. What we ate was fried pork chops, jerk chicken, mac and cheese, collard greens, corn, rice and peas, and a beef patty. Everything was amazing, especially the jerk chicken and mac and chesse. (Traducido por Google) La comida fue absolutamente increíble, la hospitalidad más de lo que uno podría imaginar, a la esposa le encantó y, finalmente, un precio realmente excelente por lo que obtienes.

Todo fue increíble, especialmente el pollo jerk y los macarrones con queso.

Oxtails absolutely delicious!! (Traducido por Google) ¡Rabos de buey absolutamente deliciosos!

The hospitality, the food and the vibe are on point. I have heard about this little oasis of amazing food and they did not disappoint!

Hefty servings of good food. We both shared oxtails, jerk chicken, stewed veggies, rice, plaintain and more. No other restaurant does Caribbean cuisine like Elsa's. The food was tasty and not mushy like baby food. Fresh, steaming patties on coco bread too. The wait may be long because meals are fresh and not pre-prepped. (Traducido por Google) Grandes raciones de buena comida. Ambos compartimos rabo de buey, pollo a la jamaiquina, verduras guisadas, arroz, plátano y más. Ningún otro restaurante hace cocina caribeña como Elsa's. La comida era sabrosa y no blanda como la comida para bebés. Empanadas frescas y humeantes en pan de coco también. La espera puede ser larga porque las comidas son frescas y no preparadas previamente.

We had dinner here yesterday (visiting from VA) and stumbled upon this authentic gem! The chicken wings were the BEST I have ever had. The jerk chicken was seasoned to perfection. You HAVE to try this place. Elsa, the owner, is super sweet. (Traducido por Google) ¡Cenamos aquí ayer (visitando desde VA) y nos topamos con esta auténtica joya!

Awesome (Traducido por Google) Impresionante

Thank you Elsa’ for a great food experience 😋 #foodie #couplechronicles #mckellerfoodnetwork (Traducido por Google) Bueno, que podemos decir... La mejor comida jamaicana en NC!! Lleno de sabor y especias, como les gusta a los verdaderos sureños. Gracias Elsa por una gran experiencia gastronómica 😋 #foodie #couplechronicles #mckellerfoodnetwork

YOU MUST TRY THEM! Elsa's place is awesome. Be warned, the online menu must be really old. Some things are different and the prices are as well, but when you get the food, you will see the value and enjoy the meal. The people there are super friendly. The food is cooked to order, so if calling ahead, it usually takes about 30 minutes. Being new to the area, I haven't found all of the lunch "hot spots", but this is definitely one of my picks. (Traducido por Google) ¡TIENES QUE PROBARLAS! El lugar de Elsa es increíble. Tenga cuidado, el menú en línea debe ser muy antiguo. Algunas cosas son diferentes y los precios también lo son, pero cuando obtenga la comida, verá el valor y disfrutará de la comida. La gente allí es super amable. La comida se cocina a pedido, por lo que si llama con anticipación, generalmente demora unos 30 minutos. Siendo nuevo en el área, no he encontrado todos los "puntos calientes" para el almuerzo, pero esta es definitivamente una de mis elecciones.

The man who took my order and served me was extremely friendly, and the food was fantastic, I had the ox tail and curry chicken with Mac and cheese, collards and rice. Is expensive but soooo worth it (Traducido por Google) El hombre que tomó mi pedido y me sirvió fue extremadamente amable, y la comida era fantástica, comí rabo de buey y pollo al curry con macarrones con queso, coles y arroz. es caro pero vale la pena

A lil gem of a place downtown! Food is delicious, I had jerk chicken and curry and I have never had anything better before of this kind of food! The people were so nice too and it made catching up with my friend one of the best days of this new year 🥰

Tried the goat and curry chicken, customer service was excellent, definitely felt like a valued customer. The lemonade is a must !! Large portions!! Will be returning to try more of the menu!! (Traducido por Google) Probé la cabra y el pollo al curry, el servicio al cliente fue excelente, definitivamente me sentí como un cliente valioso. La limonada es imprescindible!! Grandes porciones!! Volveremos a probar más del menú!!

This place is a hole in the wall Heaven sent, the food is the BEST, the service is beyond friendly, they always greet us with a smile.

Mi novio y yo, literalmente, nunca hemos tenido una mejor experiencia, este lugar es besable, es tan bueno.

I got the fried pork chops with mac and cheese and collards. It also came with rice. It was really delicious, I was quite surprised. They also gave a sample of their oxtails and that was on point. The people there were really friendly and nice. You can not beat the price! (Traducido por Google) Tengo las chuletas de cerdo fritas con macarrones con queso y coles. También vino con arroz. Estaba realmente delicioso, me sorprendió bastante. También dieron una muestra de sus rabos de buey y eso estuvo a punto. La gente allí era muy amable y agradable. ¡No se puede superar el precio!

Great food. I took an extra order home for my wife to enjoy. Definitely going back and I hope you stop by too lol (Traducido por Google) Buena comida. Llevé un pedido extra a casa para que mi esposa lo disfrutara. Definitivamente regresaré y espero que también pases por aquí jajaja

(Traducido por Google) Gran pequeño lugar escondido de comida en la isla. Tienen muchas variedades como curry, jetk, estofado integral, arroz con guisantes, macarrones con queso y otros postres, bebidas y platos de ensalada.

I’ve been here twice and have tried the oxtail and the jerk chicken which are both amazing. You get large portions at a great price. Everything has flavor and is authentic and delicious. Highly recommend! (Traducido por Google) He estado aquí dos veces y he probado el rabo de toro y el pollo a la jamaiquina, ambos increíbles. Te dan grandes porciones a un gran precio.
