Jamaican Jerk Spice

Traffic on this stretch of Cottage Grove zooms by, but time slows to a mellow pace once inside this Jamaican joint. Standouts include meltingly tender oxtails slicked with salty, soy-tinged sauce, and meaty hunks of goat seasoned with that unmistakable West Indies curry powder, rich with turmeric and mustard. Jerk chicken leans dry, so stick with the stewed meats and grab a bread pudding for dessert and a fresh carrot juice while you wait.
