This place is a must try in Johnson City. Wow! Is always so delicious and you will not leave hungry. The owner likes to bring us extra treats. Like the potato salad the day before Mother’s Day. We shared it since we had so many leftovers. We barely made it there before they closed at 3:00 with our daughter after a nice five mile hike.

Excellent food, high quality ingredients, and good cooking. Highly recommend the pollo a la brasa with aji sauce, never tasted anything like it before, seasoned and cooked to absolute perfection. The street corn I got as a side was also excellent, very well seasoned. The rice and beans are fresher and lighter than I could've imagined them being. Definitely going to come back regularly - I'm gluten free so I'm very happy to have a place I can order multiple different items. One meal plus one Jarritos soda each for myself and one other was $43 including a 20% tip, and we both had two meals out of each order.

Y’all this place is a must visit for real deal Caribbean food. Rice and beans was legit and the chicken was fall off the bone and loaded with flavor. For $13 and these portions, they’re definitely giving you more than your moneys worth. Great friendly people David Ramos - check it out!

This is the best Caribbean food I’ve ever had. The owners were very kind and welcoming! They are very generous with their portions and the food is seasoned perfectly. I regret not trying this place out sooner.

Not only is the food delicious, but the couple that run this restaurant are the nicest people you will find! My wife daughter and I went there for lunch after giving blood and they took care of us like we were family! The portions were enough for 2 meals and the best chicken and pork I've had, and the Caribbean Mac, whatever it was, was so darn good!! 🤤🤤🤤

Road tripping with my girlfriend who serendipitously found this place on Google on a whim and OH MY GOODNESS we did not regret it. Had an incredible meal here while driving through Johnson City. Incredible people, amazing food, and good prices. I would come here every week if I lived nearby.
Possibly the best food I've had in Johnson City... These folks are passionate about what they do and the flavors are just fantastic. Service is super fast and the portions on the platters are massive too! Highly recommend

Hands down the BEST place to eat in the tri-cities. I have never had a bad experience and every dish just blows your taste buds up. It's a little pricier than we're used to, about $15 a platter, but trust that it's so worth it. Not only the quality, but the quantity. And as if the food wasn't amazing already, the owners are just the best, kind, funniest down to earth people.
Here's the Aji de Gallina platter with rice, beans, and potato salad topped with chorizo.
Pork platter with rice, beans, and street corn.
Delicious!
