O Lavrador - Jamaica

My family has been passing this restaurant for years using the side streets to get to the Van Wyck and we finally tried it out last night; the food is

This place is growing in popularity partly because of its Groupon specials I guess (at least for me, I came here in a Groupon).

It's definitely a hole in the wall but in the best kind of way.

This restaurant is only a few minutes away from my house, I'm so mad it took my husband and I so long to try it. It was fantastic and more than expected. My husband got the stake (he can't remember which one) and I got the paelha marinheira. Both dishes were delicious and paelha could've served us both. It was a lot of food. Food: 10 stars +taste Caribbean pepper sause. Service: 10 stars Family and large group friendly

Old Portuguese place in Jamaica. Small parking lot. Good sangria, strong and fruity. Got the seafood paella. It was ok, but nothing to write home about. Patrons looked old school and locals, popular place. Bar on other side of restaurant. Maybe I needed to try other dishes.
