We hoped for the best. The jerk chicken tacos (Montego Bay Chicken Tacos) were not good. The portions were generous, but the chicken was dry, bland and totally lacked in flavor. I would recommend that the cooks marinate the chicken, overnight, so the flavor is there within the chicken. And please don't overcook the chicken. The taco shells were store bought generic types, not prepped for this dish as it should have been. The fried Okra had no flavor. The Okra could be seasoned a bit before breading it and deep frying. Just not worth the $10.75 price for two. The slaw wasn't too good and they use canned pineapples. The beer was fine, but that was bottled, can't go wrong with that. This place has such potential and I cannot understand how it cannot strive to offer something more, something people can't wait to return back for. We'd return, but maybe for the beer and next time we'll try the waffle fries. But we wouldn't try any other dish on the menu, maybe except for the desert. We were going to head of to the Tin Shed Cafe in Portland, which is our regular place, which by the way has the best tacos de pescado ever, made with wild caught salmon and seasoned to perfection for only $7.00, but we wanted to give this place a try. Next time we'll drive out to Portland. The cooks really need some chef training. They looked pretty young and inexperienced. Cooking is an art. If this place wants to make a lot of $$$$, it must pay attention to the details with regards to how their food is bought, prepped and cooked. The devil is in the DETAILS!
