Sweet Spot Real Jamaican Restaurant

Usually the go to Jamaican spot when visiting SD, their food is pretty good, portion sizes are enough, and food tastes fresh. The atmosphere isn't too bad, as they do have limited dining seating and very limited parking space, which is a struggle trying to find parking nearby, when there aren't any parking spaces on their parking lot. Service timing is fair. For some reason, it seems as though they run out of beef patties quickly. We sat outside of the restaurant on their patio. I ordered the Oxtail plate, with rice and peas, cabbage and plantains. Not overly salty, flavorful and Oxtails had enough meat on them.

Food is delicious!! It can take a while for some of the menu items, but it's definitely worth the wait. We had the brown stewed chicken which was just so tender and flavorful. The fried chicken was great a well. The beef patties are flaky and lightly spicy. You can't go wrong with any of the menu items. Definitely give this place a try. I guarantee you'll be back.

Outstanding food. This place is laid back with a calming atmosphere. We enjoyed the curry goat and oxtails plates which was way more than expected. Each plate was enough for 2 to done

I decided to give this place a try, again, because we heard of the change in ownership. Sadly, different owner, same lack of basic customer service. Staff seem to be burdened to acknowledge customers upon entering (the exception is the young man with a speech impediment who is the only pleasant person there). The lady there ignored some customers in favor of others and was extremely abrupt with her responses and unhelpful. I thought that I must have offended her until I asked 2 different people to retrieve my order and they reported similar experiences. Initially, the food was good but subsequently went downhill. When the food started matching the service, it's time to stop patronizing. The patties were consistently good. Sometimes the meal has plantains, sometimes not; fish is sometimes red snapper, sometimes not and is instead a barely edible, overcooked aberration that rivals chewing gum; fried chicken meal has sauce, sometimes not. Request for sauce or condiments are completely ignored( I would pay for them if necessary)and if the order is made incorrectly ( their mistake), they expect you to pay for it ( small vs large order). The last time we were there, the food was not good. We have had better service buying tacos at the food truck outside the home depot.

Nice restaurant. Went there with 2 of my co workers I had the curry goat with rice &beans and plantain, they both got chicken curry and beef oxtail respectively. My goat has waaaaaay too many bones in it but it's goat (maybe) but I loved the crunchy cabbage. Nice music I love Bob Marley he was playing slowly in the background.

I can’t say enough good things about rock steady. Great service. Good food. And everything cooked fresh. By far the best Jamaican food I’ve had in California. This is a SD must!

As a Jamaican it’s always risky finding a good Jamaican food spot but this was great. I enjoyed my food and the sorrel. Actually I’d come back for the sorrel every day if I would. Lol but I got the oxtail with rice and peas. I finished my plate before leaving so that says something because I never finish food.

Came here couple years ago and the oxtails and mixed veggies was bomb. Recently came couple days ago and the oxtails wasn't as great as it used to be. Definitely felt like the cashier was rude. The atmosphere could be better however they have patio seating as well.
