Straightforward outpost for classic Jamaican specialties such as jerk chicken & curried goat.

my meal at this restaurant is fried chicken curry gravy and for some reason, I don’t have no luck trying other stuff on the menu. Trip and bean and it’s salt and pepper and overnight food on top of all of that I found piece of plastic in my food. very disappointed I had to throw out the plate of food I just bought.

This my 1st time reviewing a place but I had to. I ordered a $35 fish for it to be filled with scales so wasn’t cleaned properly and over fried. Not the best tasting fish at all, my husband had the fried chicken and said it was okay. My aunt loved her red peas soup.

Very good mostly in quality of food . Late night is definitely a hit or miss…. Chef please to keep consistency going . Also if the rice burn, I understand you lose money but it’s better than to try to mask it. Rice that’s burnt taste and smell burn.
Stew peas was so good got soup as well and it was too salt and the large was 12 dollars and I couldn’t eat it

The food here has always been outstanding, but I’ve noticed the quality slipping recently. Service is also consistently slow, which makes dining less enjoyable. I understand that restaurant work can be demanding, but staff should still maintain a sense of urgency and attentiveness to the overall flow of business.
The atmosphere is another concern. The space feels far too small for the size of the clientele, and it can come across as cutting corners rather than investing in customer comfort. Additionally, there has never been a customer appreciation event, which would go a long way toward building loyalty.
Lastly, the rising prices are difficult to justify without improvements in service, space, and customer engagement. I truly believe this restaurant has great potential, but to keep customers coming back, it needs to focus more on professionalism, hospitality, and value.

I ordered the jerk chicken, but what I got was chicken that was burnt to a crisp with jerk sauce just poured over it. It smelled burnt too, and the amount of bones in my “medium” order was ridiculous. I went back to let them know, and the woman at the counter laughed like it was a joke but said she’d change it. I switched to curry chicken with rice and peas instead , but the rice was flavorless and mushy, and again the chicken was mostly bones. Thanks, but I won’t be wasting my taste buds here again.

The original blue cantina is a must try if you love Jamaican cuisine. Everytime I get my food here, it’s always there same. The curry goat melts in your mouth along with the white rice, Mac salad and salad. The jerk chicken is nice and spicy. You can enjoy this with a nice cold drink. I do recommend to eat this hot and fresh for the most authentic experience. There’s always a line and the food does sell out so make sure you grab food here. It’s so good! Enjoy!

My husband stopped at this restaurant got brown stew fish and jerk shrimp. Oh my goodness! The food was terrible shrimp wasn’t seasoned tasted bitter had a not so well taste , rice taste was off and the fish wasn’t cooked well. . You guys need to replace your chefs. Honestly I wouldn’t recommend. Can’t afford to waste your money like this on food you can’t eat. Total $58.00 dollars for what. You people need to do better.

The food from this place is great tasting, my husband is obsessed with it to say the least. However, when they get busy, they close the restaurant abruptly from ordering on Ubereats. I had a scheduled order for two hours for my daughter. I scheduled it around 5:15pm and it said it would be here somewhere between 7pm and 7:30pm. I got notified that they received my order at around 6:45pm just for them to cancel it 7:08pm. My daughter has been waiting for TWO HOURS. If it wasn’t for the fact that my husband and daughter loves the food, I would never order from them again. Now after all that time, I have to find another place to order from. Come up with a system where scheduled orders take precedence if you get too busy. This was uncalled for and so inconvenient.

Ordered the food from the store specific app. I went in the get the order, and the cashier stated they do not have a store-specific app. She gave the most attitude and very aggressive. . After another worker corrected her, she proceeded to hand over the food, and on top of everything, being LOUD AND WRONG, the macaroni salad was spoiled and smelled really bad. Overall, between the rude customer service and the decline in food quality, this was a hugely disappointing experience. 0/10. I do not recommend this place.
