Tropical Rhythm

Stopped in one day for lunch. Grabbed the large oxtail rice peas and cabbage plate with a beef patty . It was fantastic. Everything was hot and delicious. Did forget the coco bread but it's all good. I'll be back. It's a little pricey for the large combo but that's to be expected either way oxtail.

Price: too expensive for a size small (it's $17-$18)I got the oxtails, rice/peas, & mac&cheese. Pricing used to be around $10-$13 for this size & meat.Mac & cheese: lacked flavor and salt, not enough cheese for the Mac.Oxtails: barely any meat on them, which is why the $17-$18 price is not justified.Rice/peas: seasoned well, great portion sizeOverall, price is not justified here. Portion size for the price does not make sense. Of the 5 pieces of oxtails (2) had full oxtail meat on them.

Everything is good here. FromThe beef patties down to every meal on the menu. Love the oxtails with extra gravy.

I had been meaning to try this place for a while but the hours on yelp are incorrect so they were closed when I tried visiting them before. We went on a Saturday evening and I liked almost everything that we ordered. The jerk chicken, rice and peas, plantains, beef pattie and coco bread were all very good. I wasn't crazy about the curry chicken but that is just a matter of preference (my husband liked it). I will pass on the Mac n cheese next time. The service was very friendly. I only wish they had prices posted someplace. There is no menu board, and the printed menu they give you to order from had the pricing crossed out with a black marker so the prices are not visible. The lady said we can tell her what we want and she will give us a price. That was a little sketchy for me but not a big deal breaker. We will probably go back and try the oxtails and maybe one of their cakes.

I ordered a large oxtail stew with with rice & peas and steamed cabbage. The oxtail stew was delicious. It was on the sweet side, full of flavor and it melted in my mouth. The packaging was great and the portion size was good.The only draw backs were:The lack of gravy. There were no peas in my rice. The steward cabbage was bland.If the sides were up to par, I would definitely have left a four star review!

After hearing about this being located in the same plaza as Stein & Vine, but towards the south end, I decided to check it out. The restaurant has a basic layout with more of a takeout vibe and a few tables and chairs for seating.I've had the oxtail and jerk chicken meals which were OK. Their chicken soup (on the days that they make it) is very good and so was their red peas soup.My favorite things to get from this restaurant mostly are their homemade drinks. Specifically their ginger beer and sorrel as my favorites.

I have to say that I'm very happy to have this Caribbean restaurant so close to home. I've passed by it many times when going to the post office. This time I decided to stop. At first, I thought they were closed. I pulled on the door handle and it didn't open very easily for me. You just have to pull harder to open it because the door sticks for some reason. Maybe I was too gentle. Anyway, the food smelled wonderful upon entering. There are also refrigerated drinks and natural juices to the right along the wall. The juices are priced differently depending on what you get so you may want to make your choice before ordering the food. They had all different kinds of juices. Some are very unique such as Irish Moss and Ginger Beer which both have a combination of various ingredients (all on the label). All the juices are lightly sweetened. I would go back just for the juice alone. It was really wonderful! So far my favorite is the guava pineapple, but the pineapple ginger was really good too. I went ahead and placed a regular size order of the oxtail in brown sauce with rice and peas and cabbage. I noticed like other reviewers that the person taking my order immediately went over to the sink to wash her hands before preparing my meal. I love that! It makes me feel very comfortable. It was ready within 10 minutes of ordering it. Everything I received was hot. It stayed hot for a while. The oxtail was very meaty and tender. The brown sauce wasn't as flavorful as other places, but I was super happy with the portion and side items as well. I went back the next day to try the jerk pork with cabbage and sweet plantains. The pork was so full of flavor. I typically don't like jerk seasoning but this one was really good, and maybe because I also got the Tropical Rhythm Island sauce on top. It added a sweet pepper flavor that really went well with the jerk seasoning. But hey, I do like sweet and savory so try it and decide for yourself. I also wished that I had more of the sweet plantains. These were so sweet and delicious. Just the way they should be. I'll be going back for many more visits. It was very comforting food (even the cabbage). Oh, and that juice really hit the spot. I want to try the tamarind and maybe something with passion fruit next time. I also saw sour sop (guanabana) and vegetable juices as well.

This place is a hidden gem! I come here specifically for their salt fish and ackee. It's absolutely delicious and exclusively served only on Saturday mornings. Make sure you get there early because it sells out pretty quick. I suggest calling in your order ahead of time. I've also tried the beef patties here and they were so good and the portions are just so fulfilling. I also enjoy all the natural juices that they make in house. The prices are very reasonable especially for the portions that you're getting. The employees are not too personable here which is my only complaint but this doesn't stop me from coming in.

9 bucks for the small. A little steep for the amount of food you get. I was surprised! I ordered the jerked chicken meal which consisted of the chicken (drumstick and thigh...not big at all) cabbage and Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was surprisingly good. The cabbage was average, but the jerked chicken was way too sweet. No real jerk taste at all. I was a little let down by that. Might be the only time I try this place. I'll leave some pics below.

I'm no ox-tail aficionado , I've actually been pescatarian for 5years and just tried beef for the first time. I enjoyed it. Something was spicy though don't know if that's normal - tasted great to me Will say it was a little expensive but a lot of food so worth it.
