    Great food, awesome smoothies. Caribbean jerk wrap was a uniquely sweet and spicy meal worth going for.

    I’ve gotten the jerk chicken wrap for years at this location, and when I say I couldn’t eat it because it was so spicy is really not ok. Tries reaching back out and got voicemail, I literally had to throw the entire wrap away. I’m not sure is someone laid the sauce on thick or what. But I’m not happy.
