- Kul WadhwaJuly 26, 2013Great food at a great price. They have Brasilian and Caribbean dishes such as Coxinhas and Jerk Chicken, which were both fantastic. Go when the weather is nice and sit outside on the patio
djsMay 31, 2017What a gem! How pleasantly flavorful! Tasty jerk chicken burrito, fresh salad with yummy dressing, I even downed the salsa water :)
Justin SullivanSeptember 6, 2015Huge portions. A friendly staff. A great setting on the deck in the shade in Preservation Park. Get there between 11:30 and 12 ahead of the lunch rush.

- Joe ClederaOctober 5, 2012The jerk chicken is my favorite, but everything on the menu is delicious! Be prepared for awesome food and super friendly service.
Kurt JohnsonOctober 5, 2012Jerk chicken is definitely a staple, but if you see coxinhas on the menu, get 'em! They're a rare occurrence and they're delicioussss

"Excellent cocktail selection (try the mezcal one). Limited, but excellent beers on tap. If you're not sure about what cocktail you want, just tell the bartender what you like & they'll figure it out."
