Had the awesome Jerk chicken enchiladas with the dirty rice and beans and plantains . All of it was delicious with great flavors. Also, the lemonade and mango-guava Aqua frescas were refreshing.
This my first Caribbean Restaurant visit, the best reviews for Jerky Chicken & their Cha Cha Special Chicken & the fried chicken i loved it all tasty & the sides are tasty too and the dirty rice yummy
Great Caribbean food , my favorite plate is the Jerked Chicken Enchiladas , you can add an extra enchilada . No alcohol sold here, but you can bring your own on the patio , pick some up at Lucky's liquor .
Jerked chicken enchiladas come w beans, rice , and plantains . A perfectly delicious plate. The mango guava juice made me feel like i was on vacation. Coconut chicken was tasty. Great service too!
Jerk chicken enchiladas and coconut fried chicken are the dishes to get. Comes with sides of rice & beans and plantains . Cups for water are 50 cents so just get an agua fresca instead.
A fun place to hang out, BYOB and has good food. The jerk chicken imho could have been a lil more crispier and spicy (ordered medium as it was recommended).
Not your most authentic Caribbean experience but great service and good bang for your buck. Try their homemade juices ...the lemonade + ginger ale was bomb!
Prices are a little bit high for what you get but easily one of the best eats off to the side of the Pier . I normally go for the coconut fried chicken but their rice and plantains are superb as well .
Fantastic hole in the wall restaurant . The Coconut chicken is awesome. The prices are even more awesome for where this is located!

Awesome local place for some good quality food. If you like it spicy this is your place. The 1/2 cha cha chicken was tasty, and the spicy black pepper shrimp was bomb dot com.
The coconut chicken was amazing! Get the 1/4 chicken as it is plenty of food. And be sure to get a lemonade !

Wow! What an amazing find! ???? excellent value for amazing food, with a kick! BYOB with no cork fee... just 0.50c for a cup, or bring your own ????
The cha cha chicken and jerk sauce is so good. The chicken croquette is better than the empanadas . And beware of the incredibly slow line to order. The food comes out fast otherwise.
What's not to love? Patio dining near the beach , coconut fried chicken goodness, super spicy jerk sauce , BYOB (Yeah!) and the best part, you can use your KCRW Fringe Benefits card! We go every week!
I can’t get enough of this place! They make their own fresh drinks that are to die for. Honestly everything on the menu is fantastic.
This island-inspired, shack-like spot features festive decorations in every corner and Coconut Fried Chicken that's worth a special trip, according to Iron Chef Michael Symon. Read more
That coconut fried chicken is delicious! Also liked the beans & rice . And if watermelon Agua Fresca is on the specials, get it!
It's NOT spicy . If you're used to Thai/Mexican/Indian spice, this is a weird sweet flavor. The flavor was good, not great. Great ambience and the drinks looked good. Nice for big groups.
Killer fried chicken , and their jerk chicken is the best in LA. So flavorful! Perfect for a warm day near the beach .
Great dinner pregame spot before a night out in SaMo. Patio dining , BYOB , eat with your hands! $12-13 gets you a good sized plate with two sides. G
I got the coconut fried chicken : sweet, tender, and not too heavy. Definitely come with a friend so you can try different things. I really wanted to try the enchiladas , but I came alone...
Got the jerk turkey and a bottle of ginger ale Jamaican style, they charged me 0.50 for a plastic cup- not nice! perhaps because you can bring your own bottle.Very unwilling waiters but food is great!
Ignore the menu and go straight for the Jerk Chicken Enchiladas - if you can't take the heat go mild and they'll still make you smile.
The coconut chicken is just amazing I wanna eat that for the rest of my life. Oh, and everybody is super nice :)
Very cool, laid back , casual carribean food place. Crowded but worth it. If you really don't like spicy avoid the jerk chicken

One of the best eats in LA- coconut fried chicken (go boneless ) w plantains . Yum dum.
BYOB and the food is all spectacular. The standouts are the coconut fried chicken and the jerk chicken enchiladas if you're stuck
Great reasonably-priced food and BYOB with a great patio less than 2 blocks from the beach . Say no more.
Great vibe. Juicy chicken and weekend brunch deals that are on point. Lemonade washes it all down nicely.
Super good food and at a very good price. I got the Coconut fried chicken . The have nice sitting areas outside.
Good food, great vibes. You can bring your own drinks and I’d recommend so as they don’t serve alcoholic beverages .
You can't go wrong with the cha cha chicken or the coconut fried chicken . Get an agua fresca or byo !
Super yummy. The half chicken with two sides is more than enough food for two people to split. Bring your own booze if you want it!
Pork dishes and coconut fried chicken are great. Bring your own beer and wine . No corkage charge.
Was surprised how good the house made ginger beer was, and def get some empanadas for the table.
It is sooo good. this place has great food! it is affordable the staff here are super nice and professionals.. I lobe the foold
Amazing jerk chicken , and the plantains are to die for. Always ask for extra sauces on the side.
Cha cha chicken, mild, with slaw and plantains . Homemade ginger ale was on point. Pro tip: byob
The cha cha chicken is everything - and if you don't get that, the jerk chicken enchilada is pretty legit too
Omg this place is just amazing ! When your in Santa Monica you have to try the food there !!!
The coconut fried chicken and plantations are delicious!
I stumbled upon this spot and I was lucky I did. So delicious and great vibes ????????
First time here. Got the Cha cha chicken plate with black beans/rice and sweet potatoes on the side. Chicken was a little spicy but tasted great. (3 of 4 petals via Fondu) Read more
Amazing Caribbean food with lots of spices and taste and a very decent pricing.
Medium hot cha cha chicken is the best Carribean style I ever had. And for the price it is insane!
Jerk chicken , mango lemonade , and sitting. Lots of sitting. More sitting. Just keep sitting there. Don't leave.
Wow, I had the combo plate and it was Dee-lish!! Dem portions be huuuge mon!
