The mac and cheese was far from fresh and quite let down. I only managed a couple of bites of the cabbage before giving up. The plantain was drenched in grease, overcooked, and completely inedible by the time I got home. It’s surprising how they managed to ruin plantains, which are normally so versatile and resilient. Whether green, ripe, fried, boiled, or baked, plantains are usually reliable—this was a major letdown. It felt like the food had been frozen and reheated multiple times until it nearly spoiled, yet they still served it to customers. Being from the Caribbean and raised in Miami, a hub for excellent Caribbean and Jamaican cuisine, I know what authentic flavors should taste like. This meal might have been decent if fresh, quality ingredients had been used instead of old and near-spoiled ones. Almost $30 wasted on a meal that fell far short of expectations. I understand times are tough, but customers deserve much better quality.

The mac and cheese was outdated and unsatisfactory. I took a couple of bites of the cabbage but couldn't eat any more. The plantains were overcooked, greasy, and so soggy that they were inedible by the time I got home. It's hard to believe anyone could ruin plantains, which are such a versatile and resilient ingredient—you can enjoy them in so many ways! Overall, I was let down. It felt like the food had been frozen and reheated repeatedly until it started to spoil, and yet they still served it to customers. As someone who knows Jamaican food well—having been raised in Miami, a hotspot for Caribbean cuisine—it's clear that this could have been good if only they had used fresh, high-quality ingredients instead of stale, nearly rotten ones. I can't believe I wasted nearly $30 on this meal. I understand times are tough, but customers deserve much better than this.
