The Lunch Burrito
Photo Edited by: Obdulio Carreras

Light, Simple, Fresh-delectable food…a soul food vegan spot located in a small shopping plaza on Market Street, South of La Brea. If you are a Vegan and enjoy Soul food that is 100% Fresh and Natural, this is your restaurant.Stop right in for a meal and don’t think twice, because they have dishes that incorporate all of the classic Soul Food items that Mama would cook for the holidays! The menu includes, sandwiches, burritos, quesadillas, wild rice, tacos, tofu, salads, smoothies and we cannot forgot about desserts… peach cobbler, and don’t be shy to ask, which desserts are available!

From the menu, I ordered the Lunch Burrito, which came with two sides, a salad and tortilla chips. Along with my meal, I ordered a Tropical Blend Smoothie, which is a combination of bananas, assorted fruit and apple juice. The smoothie was vibrant in flavor and it balanced well with the Lunch Burrito. The portion of the Lunch Burrito was a bit larger than from what I was expecting but I was definitely full. The Lunch Burrito is a whole-wheat tortilla, stuffed with seasoned tofu, black beans, wild rice blend, SIE sauce, salsa, guacamole, and their house dressing. I was more than satisfied with my meal and drink! I appreciated the earthy vibe of this restaurant’s ambience as well as the owner’s positive interaction with the customers. A great blend between Vegan and Soul food!

Light, Simple, Fresh-delectable food...My advice…drive slowly down Washington Blvd because I have passed this restaurant a number of times. It wasn’t until I did some research on other Caribbean restaurants and the name of this restaurant caught my attention. I tend to draw towards Caribbean restaurants because I enjoy a lil spice in my life! This restaurant has been in Central L.A. for over 35 years. Their dishes represent authentic Jamaican herbs and spices. The owners of this restaurant make their own fresh fruit juices and some are made with vegetables. This restaurant keeps their flavors traditional, thus bringing Jamaica to Central L.A.

Signature Juice: Pine-Ginger Juice
Dish 2: Jerk Chicken Salad

From the menu, I ordered Curry Goat and I’m a big fan of curry! This dish was served with small pieces of fresh goat meat marinated in a special blend of Jamaican curry herbs & spices with a side of rice & beans and plantains. The Beet Root & Carrot drink was made fresh with a touch of carrot juice, lemon juice, ginger, spices & honey. I cleaned my entire plate and savoured every moment of the Beet Root & Carrot drink because it was perfectly balanced in flavor. My aunt ordered the Jerk Chicken Salad, the chicken was moist and tender. The spice level of the meat was perfect the crunch from the fresh levels balanced out the jerk chicken. For her drink she ordered the Pine-Ginger Juice, which had pineapple, ginger and honey!

From the warmth of the owner, the traditional Jamaican spices in the curry and to the fresh Beet Root & Carrot juice, I was a happy customer. 35 years in Central L.A. and this restaurant proudly represents Jamaica.

Vegetarian Plate w/Callaloo (Greens)
Photo Edited by: Obdulio Carreras

Light, Simple, Fresh-Delectable food… who loves Jamaican Cuisine?! If so, check out this restaurant. Located in Leimert Park a neighborhood in South Los Angeles. Leimert Park represents the historic and cultural hub of the African American Community. Ackee Bamboo Jamaican is one of many restaurants in Leimert Park. This restaurant is family owned and that since of family is present as soon as you enter the restaurant! From their menu, I ordered the Vegetarian Plate w/ Callaloo (Greens). The dish was served with rice & Peas, steamed vegetables, plantains & festival bread. The festival bread is sweet and essentially it is a Caribbean dumpling that is fried. All of the components of this dish, were simply fresh and delectable. With this dish, I had a fresh Coconut as my drink! Coconut water is my favorite, simply refreshing!
