Palatino Jamaican Restaurant

My crew and I wanted authentic Jamaican/Caribbean food. We were iffy about the "palatino" in the name just because most Jamaican wants their name 'straight outta Jamaica' but we were NOT disappointed about our decision at all. Best Jamaican food we've ever had, the rice and beans was just perfect and meat seasoned well, smells amazing and taste even better. The portions are huge and prices are very affordable. Thank me now and try it.

Amazing customer service. The only Caribbean restaurant in the area so food sells out quick. When I first arrived at the restaurant there were limited things available to order so I was told to come back. When I finally got back the food was still not ready till another 30 minutes. Because I had to wait such a long time for the food I was offered free bottled water on the house. I ordered oxtail with rice and peas and steamed vegetables. It tasted absolutely amazing and the portion size was great too. I was definitely full after that meal. This restaurant is worth a visit if you’re ever in Wynwood Miami.

We hear a lot these days about food is supposed to give you energy. Yes the itis trend is out. This place is a great stop before getting back into what Wynwood has to offer. The customer service was great. And the chef admitted that the food was cooked with love. It's a mom and pop shop, and there's a wonderful little boutique if you forgot your jewelry at home ladies.

Staff was friendly. The food was delicious! My rice & peas just lovely, but the white rice was dry. Very dry! They cook their cabbage just the way I cook mine. It was cold on arrival but it tasted good. I gave four stars because the wait time was too long for food that wasn’t cooked fresh, & I wasn’t offered anything to drink. So I didn’t purchase any beverage. I was also asked a couple times if I was ready to place my order, when clearly I wasn’t ready to order because, I was still discussing what was best to order with the company I was with. Most of all, they didn’t have what I really wanted to eat available. So I settled. Which still turned out okay. But still, I want what I want! AND- Finally, new dishes are needed. I was eating off of a chipped plate. Overall, I would definitely recommend my friends & family to try this authentic Jamaican food spot out. Ooh, my plantains were hot & yummy, too! 😋
