Eva's Caribbean Kitchen

I have to start by saying this hole in the wall location is fabulous. I absolutely hate coconut, but the coconut shrimp was so good I had seconds. The ginger-mango chutney was a perfect dip for thre shrimp. The crab and corn cake was delicious and had a slight kick to it. Never having tried jerk chicken, I decided to give it a taste. I was not disappointed. Large portion and very well seasoned. 480 rums available to choose from so I'm absolutely coming back and next time I'm bringing friends.

If you haven't been hear you are missing out on one of the best restaurants in OC. Eva (the owner) is usually there and she is awesome. Also, if you like Rum, this is the spot...and if you don't you'll learn to love it here.

First of all when I walked into Eva's I felt like family was cooking for me. The place has such a warm down to earth feeling & the aromas circulating in the air are delicious. I liked that Eva is actually there cooking, mingling & making her guest feel warm & comfortable. The service was FIRST CLASS and the food was delicious. I had the Jerk Salmon which comes with beans,rice, mixed shredded vegetable medley & a banana plankton. I also tried these appetizers egg plant, crab cakes, coconut shrimp & if you like spicy I HIGHLY recommend the spicy shrimp....ON FIRE...and I dare you :)That spice comes straight from the Caribbean because it's a spice like no other I've ever had. HOT but lots of flavor. This local spot is a gold mind if you like flavor, spice & good food. The wine & mixed fruit drinks made me feel like I was on vacation. I'm definitely going back, probably next week. Great food, great service, great energy & vibe also very clean.

One of our favorite restaurants. Great casual atmosphere and food and over 300 rums on-hand. And they even do rum flights. Eva and her staff are rare and genuine gems. Almost always full and can be difficult to get a seat without a reservation, for good reason!

My visit here was one of the most memorable meals I've ever had. The staff makes you feel like you've been friends forever. The drinks are great. The jerked pork loin was so juicy and delicious. The perfect balance of spices and flavor. When dessert time comes, do yourself a favor and get the chocolate bread pudding. You will not be disappointed.
