"Little Jamaica" in Boca Chica
exactly, Tio Tambo. you caught it. no pictures with a customer. secondly, no remarks from a satisfied client...
I think is the lack of advertisement that has this place like this, I've being around that place many times a day, and never seen it, I just noticed were it was because I saw their pictures on the FB and recognize the place since it was a fast food place from a friend.
The above OP was posted June 02, 2015.
I can't swear the place is open or closed but as of five days ago when I walked past the restaurant it showed no signs of life. Saturday afternoon around 3:30 surely they would be open or preparing to open for the evening. I never bothered to cross the street and ask because for months only thing I have heard is we are opening soon.
Doomed before the gate opens (if it ever does).
you have no idea how much this whole matter with the Jamaican restaurants riles me up. i have always said that a properly run location would be a killer, because Jamaican food is internationally known for its flavor, and many people would love an alternative to all the Italian restaurants and pizza joints all over the country, and the North American fare. we are in the caribbean...the least we should have is some caribbean food. darn...you cannot even get a roti wrap in Sosua, but you can get some Euro fare which you cannot pronounce.
then these clowns come along with these half assed attempts, and make a joke of the whole Jamaican concept. by the time serious people set up shop, they will be operating in a tranished environment.
on the other hand you have folks who went to check the place just after seeing this thread.
my guess is they did not put the signage because it costs money. letreros are charged by size by the ayutamiento. that is, you gotta pay the city for having the name of your place clearly displayed outside. another thing that points to the theory that they were never open in the first place. rather interesting...
a naked 'plug for the best Jamaican food in the country. there is a facebook site called Fatties Empanadas...baked Jamaican Patties. that is the only place you are going to get coco bread, and Jamaican meatloaf, which is the patty filling in a coco bread. that guy makes the absolute best Jamaican food in the land. ask bigbird what he thinks of the oxtails, and that will give you an idea.
Now let's not go there or this thread will surely get sidetracked. Let's save the MOD some work.

If Little Jamaica can put up a sign and duplicate that food they will make a killing.
Just spoke with James, he's normally open from 11am till 9.30pm he said. In case you have question call him on his cel:829-207-8788
HA!!
Yeah.. You wish!!
I am not from either DR or Jamaica. Jamaican food is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay batter than Dominican food. You must be just trying to get a rise out of people. Surely you are joking. Take a survey 90 out of 100 will choose Jamaican food.
he was looking for laughs...no way was he being serious. glad you are an impartial observer, or he would say i was being nationalistic..
