Our 1st time visiting and the staff was amazing. The food was awesome 10/10 all the way around. Their soursop juice is the best and their passion fruit just tastes like the juice on carnival cruises. We ordered surf and turf, stewed pork chops with red beans, the Cuban sandwich ( it was so good) and I forgot what hubs ordered but he devoured it. Lol we didn't think about pictures until AFTERWARDS. Our new favorite

Good Caribbean Food with "abuelitas" taste. Excellent like home service.Always a good place to eat with a true Caribbean flavor. Come en enjoy the Mofongo,fish ,pork chops, and so many more . The beer is always cold, and the service is excellent. A true family place you are honestly treated like family. Come in and enjoy this hidden gem

Absolutely love it. The beauty of Latin food is it's simplicity. I had the pulled pork special is special with yellow rice and beans and beans and it was amazing. They have an inhouse hot sauce that's incredible. Pretty spicy and perfect. Also pretty reasonably priced for what you get. I could not finish my lunch and brought it home for dinner. They also sell bottled beer. Located at the far end of a small older strip mall this is definitely a local gem. I'll be back.

Great food and excellent service. To find authentic Caribbean food this delicious in Pascagoula MS was amazing. It is a hidden gem in Pascagoula and the Gulf Coast. It is family oriented, bright inside and an open seating area. I hand and recommend the chicken with rice and beans. If you are near the area or on vacation, I recommend this place. Ask for Jenny. She will walk you through the menu if you are new to Caribbean food. Note. Take it easy on the hot sauce until you are sure you can handle it. It was so delicious. I even got some of the hot sauce to go.

Phenomenal. We had lunch here, oven roasted chicken and pork ribs. The food was delicious, tender and flavorful. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Prices are affordable and the establishment is very clean. I'm soo glad we stumbled in here. We will absolutely be coming back.

My family and I stopped in on our way to Florida. We were quickly sat and served. We had the oxtails and the beef with peppers. It was so delicious. We also had their house tea which was soooo good!! We can’t wait to go back.
