Thankful we have a spot like this in the Bay! Loved my curry goat plate and polished it clean. Tried some oxtails that were yummy too! The music was good and the food was better. Owner and staff were nice, I'll def come back!

They have a weird layout but the food is delicious!!! We ordered their oxtail and curry goat and left very satisfied. We weren't a fan of the ground provisions but we found their rice sides absolutely phenomenal and plantains perfectly fried.

This spot serves truly authentic Jamaican food—flavorful, fresh, and cooked with love. The service was excellent, and the chef was so friendly and welcoming. A great experience all around!

Food is good as hell here, love the oxtail dishes! Service can be a little spotty, sure, but the food and music make up for it. Rum cake was fresh.

I’m originally from the east coast, Philly to be exact and there are so many Jamaican restaurants that are really good. I’ve tried about 5 different Jamaican and/or Caribbean restaurants out here in the Bay Area and Minto’s was by far the best. The food is really good, there’s even a bar if you need an alcoholic beverage. I love their oxtails, my pictures show me dining in, as well as ordering takeout.

Very good authentic jerk chicken. Generous servings. Hooked it up with a fat plate. Very spicy though. I might ask for light sauce next time. One of the best rice and peas I've every had

Amazing!!! The jerk chicken was perfect. The goat curry was spot on. I was nervous to try a new Jamaican spot, because I’ve had some not good experiences. My normal spot didn’t have jerk chicken so I thought let me take a chance. I saw a few good reviews on here and that was enough. I ordered and I will order again. This is my new spot. My picture of the goat curry wasn’t even half of the order! Money well spent.
