This was my first time visiting, so I fully acknowledge that it may not always be this way and that this might have been the result of someone calling out or having an emergency, etc. I just hope that isn't the norm. It made for slow service and I felt anxious for the 1 person having to do all the work.

However, I know it's not a big deal but I was charged for two items the j and creole chicken yumpandadas $1 more. The price on the kisok menu and the to-go menu says $3.75. I asked the lady why i was charged those prices and she said those are the new ones. I asked, why werent the new prices listed on both menus, she couldnt give me a reason. The young lady called the manager to see if I could get a refund which I was told no. All in all, she was nice but I was charged wrong price. False advertising. If you changed your prices in the computer than your menu prices needs to reflect that.

The unique combination of Caribbean food and vegan options was the best thing ever! The owner was there and was absolutely wonderful and explained everything on the menu and even pointed us in the direction of home made fruit juices that were amazing! We ordered a beyond meat empanada with chimichurri sauce, and it was seasoned so well we realized we didn 't even need the sauce (although it was amazing also). Then we both ordered the vegan j bowl with yellow rice and pikliz (spicy Haitian cole slaw). It was the perfect combination of flavor and spice! We like spicy and it was the right amount of hot . I suggest the tostones they were amazing to take the edge off and enjoy the rest of the meal. Can 't wait to go back and try more!

I believe in being honest with my opinions, so if I find something unpleasant, I will say so. I chose not to return the empanadas to avoid hurting anyone's feelings. As a Hispanic woman, I feel you should know how to make good food like others in your culture.
