This laid-back cafeteria in Inglewood serves up mouthwatering Jamaican classics like tender oxtails, jerk chicken, and hearty rice and peas.
"Located directly across the street from SoFi Stadium, Blessed Tropical is a family-run Jamaican restaurant that serves jerk chicken worth scheduling your day around. The portions are massive, prices are affordable ($12-14 for combo plates), and even if you order several different things, you can be in and out in under 20 minutes. And despite how good the jerk chicken is, you should definitely be ordering other things on the menu, too. Whether it’s marinated oxtail that falls off the bone or a spicy goat curry we’ll happily eat in our car before going back to work, this is some of the best food in Inglewood." - brant cox, garrett snyder, sylvio martins
"Oh, Blessed Tropical Jamaican Cuisine. What was once an evocative, charming name has turned into something almost like a taunt, winking knowingly as we stare out of the window, longing for a time when Corona was just a beer and the only thing keeping us from vacationing in the Caribbean was a lack of funds. Well, the past is the past, and if we’re going to be stuck in our respective homes for the foreseeable future, we might as well be doing it with a plate or two of their incredible jerk chicken and marinated oxtail. Available for takeout and delivery, call (310) 330-0649 or find them on the apps." - kat hong

A meal at this classic Inglewood spot is great any day of the week, but come on a Wednesday, and you’ll be treated to their wonderful lunch special – an entire plate of expertly cooked jerk chicken for just $10." - the infatuation los angeles crew
