For over 10 years, I've been getting the Spicy Chicken Pita here.. My dad's worked in the area for 26 and still orders this too... Plantains were delicious too!
Eddy ChenAugust 16, 2014Jerk pork is a winner but only served on Wednesdays and Fridays. Get it as a sandwich but be prepared to eat it with a fork because it's a big pile of messy deliciousness.
Order the jerk chicken sandwich and fries to go, bring it into AT&T Park, make everyone sitting around you jealous. Open until first pitch on gamenights during the baseball season.

Every Wednesday they do BBQ Jerk Pork on a platter or salad. It's to die for if you like spicy jerk seasoning! I get it over a salad for just under $10!
The Jerk Chicken is definitely a must on your first visit. Tender and moist!
Kimberly SMarch 14, 2014Get the jerk chicken - it's very moist! And the patio area in the back is great for a nice lunch break on a sunny day.- The Picadillo Cuban Breakfast Hash with 2 fried eggs is fantastic!
Ruchita PoddarApril 12, 2013Grilled snapper salad is heavenly and the back patio on a gorgeous day makes you feel far away from the city :)
Get their tender pork salads! Wednesday and Friday only! Super delicious. And that primo sauce is amazing.
Trevor FilterAugust 22, 2014Hang out on the patio with a jerk chicken platter and some of the best lemonade I've ever tasted.- Try the pulled pork on a salad - super good and fresh! Pulled pork only available on Wed and Fri!
The jerk chicken burrito is off-menu, massive, and tasty. Be sure to smother it with primo sauce.
For years, I would walk by and think this was a dive. Finally went in and had the most amazing breakfast. Cute indoor patio, great corn muffins and friendly service. Try anything with jerk sauce - mmm Read more
Head out to the back patio on a nice day and order the Jerk Chicken and rice. Best Jerk Chicken in SF
This is probably my favorite lunch spot. If you work in SOMA you should get here soon. Get something with fries.
Best egg scramble in soma. Like 4 eggs, cheddar cheese, BACON for $5!
Don't forget about breakfast here. The breakfast pita with bacon will fuel you up properly for you day without breaking your budget. DELICIOUS.
Good lunch place if you're in the western part of SoMa with a patio (sunny afternoons, sunny afternoons)
- Great chicken salad with crack sauce for $8.70! They prefer you pay cash!
I LOVE this place! My neighborhood restaurant of nearly 9 years!
Travis MurdockJune 5, 2010Jerk chicken is perfectly tender and spicy. Get it as an entree, on a salad or in a sandwich. Love this place.
Jerk chicken sandwich with fries is the only thing you ever need to order from here
Steve Just SteveNovember 30, 2011Make sure to order fries on Wednesday, when they make the fries for whole week.
- The jerk chicken entree is great! Don't forget to eat the chicken with the "crack" sauce!
Josh SmithJune 25, 2009Order the jerk pork sandwich, or the jerk pork burrito, or REALLY ANYTHING WITH THE PORK. Check beforehand, as they don't have it every day of the week.
JoshJanuary 26, 2011These guys are great. Gave me the special even though I'm not mayor! Ask and u shall rx!
