“ 1. Jerk chicken Wings, mac n cheese and white rice 2. Jerk Chicken, Greens w/ rice and peas. The pic doesn't do it justice, you HAVE to try it for yourself. The flavors are amazing and rich. The food taste like authentic homemade Jamaican food made at home. Like if you were to pull up to a family hangout, uncle would create this beauty on the grill. ”
“ This is an awesome restaurant. They have a great selection of different items on their menu. And I ended up ordering the jerk pork chops with potato salad and mac & cheese for the sides. We also ordered the Rasta pasta and added chicken to it. Let me tell you they have another location that I've been to that the food was absolutely delicious and this location is just as good maybe even better because this food is really bursting with flavor. We had a great service it couldn't have been better. ”
“ My husband and I always look for Jamaican food when going on vacation !! And we found this place the food was delicious the potions were big its one size servings we had the Oxtail rice & beans and cabbage this was seasoned to perfection . We are from Pennsylvania, and where live we can't find Jamaican food . I highly recommend this place ”
“ Wonderful Service! Great food! Will definitely be back! Curried Goat is awesome. Jerk Chicken was remarkable! If you love Caribbean, vist Ocho Rios!!!!! ”
“ ***UPDATED REVIEW*** 10's across the board!!! Goodyear location had a rough start but it's ALL good now. Service was great and food was so good. Finally a great spot for Jamaican/Caribbean food on the west side! Pic from opening week vs now. Finally visited the Goodyear location. I ordered the oxtail, peas and rice, and cabbage. They charged an extra dollar for gravy on the rice and then didn't put any gravy on the rice . The Phoenix location trims the excess fat off the oxtails Goodyear does not. Overall the food was OK. ”
“ Ocho Rios has the best Jamaican food I've tried in the valley! We've gone to both locations, and the flavors are consistent. Excellent natural juices as well. I would highly recommend the combination platter if you're dining in (is not offered as a to-go choice). I will say it's pricey, but it allows you to try a few different items from their entree menu since it's all so good! Also, Mia offered us great service and was attentive. ”
“ I absolutely love this place. The music sets a beautiful ambiance.I even added a few songs to my playlist. This is definitely a spot I will hit up whenever I visit Arizona. I had Sweet Jerk Chicken, steamed Canaveral cabbage, pasta, and plantains. Cucumber juice and Kingston 13!! ”
