Interesting food, massive portions - Edit
I enjoyed the food - it was unlike anything I'd eaten before. I probably wouldn't order it again though. The menu was limited when we visited - they didn't have everything available. We were the only people in the restaurant, and it didn't have the welcoming vibe some of the other reviews have alluded to, but it was nice enough.

The food is tasty- Ital. The service is great too. We made two visits. There is care and love put into the food. (The owner may have sold the business since we were there so can only vouch for the original business)

Beautiful and tasty - Edit
I ordered the jerk jackfruit. It came within the amazing rainbow salad. The food was very good. The rainbow salad was one of the most beautiful salads i've ever seen. It had a huge variety of veggies, and it was topped with pineapple.

Delicious food experience - Edit
Such amazing food - this has been the best food experience for me in Costa Rica. The jackfruit and seaweed burger was so rich in flavour. Some level of patience is required as the food was not served quickly - but so much worth the wait.

The person who apparently is the owner was super welcoming and kind!
Will definitely be back.
Only improvement point: our waitress seemed a bit grumpy. But maybe she was having a bad day, that’s ok!😄

Erwartungen wurden nicht erfüllt - Edit
Aufgrund der Bewertungen hier bin ich mit sehr hohen Erwartungen gekommen. Zunächst möchte ich anmerken, dass einige Gerichte und Getränke nicht verfügbar waren (betraf Vorspeise, Dessert und Kombucha). Ich hatte am Ende das Brotfrucht-Jerk, was nicht schlecht war, mit Bananenchips und Dip (ok, nichts besonderes) und das Snickers zum Dessert (sehr fest und etwas trocken).
Read moreAls ich bezahlen wollte, gab es kein Wechselgeld.
Vielleicht habe ich einen schlechten Tag erwischt, aber ich würde nicht noch einmal hingehen. Da gibt es in Puerto Viejo zu viele andere vegane Angebote.

Temps is a fantastic chef and a super kind soul. His Jackfruit burgers are out of this world! Puerto Viejo de Talamanca is still an oasis and relatively untouched by mass tourism. 🌱

What a lovely place, the vibe is incredible, and so is the food, the owner is super nice! I had the Chili Sin Carne and it was a huge portion and absolutely delicious, slightly different flavours from a traditional chili and that was a pleasant surprise.

This place hits the spot for vegan jamaican food and the owner is very friendly too. 😄 I came here with some friends and we all really enjoyed this amazing cuisine. If you don't like spicey, be careful, most dishes are. 😁

One of the best restaurants ever - Edit
I came here everyday during my 3-day stay in Puerto Viejo. It is some of the best food I have ever eaten. Try the breadfruit and jackfruit even if you don’t think you like jackfruit. It is so fresh and delicious. The Mac pie is also amazing. I tried almost everything in the menu and cannot speak highly enough about all of it. The owner is also so wonderful and passionate about vegan food. So happy I found this place.

❤️ Made with love! - Edit
Everything about Jammin felt right! We noticed it on the way into town and decided to stop in. The restaurant, location and staff had great vibes and it was evident that a lot of love and intention was put into the menu. It took a while for us to decide on what to order; everything coming out of the kitchen looked amazing and everything on the menu sounded amazing … and it was! It was not only tasty and filling, it was soulful and left us feeling great. We will definitely be back while we’re in Puerto Viejo, it’s been our favorite place to eat in Costa Rica so far!

Mi Come Fi I-man Nyam Nyam Mi Nuh Come Fi Count Cows! 💚💛❤️ - Edit
Travelled 4.5 hours from San José to try out this joint and was well surprised with the quality, dedication, and purpose of the host. This is all fresh, seasonal, artisanal, ital Jamaican-style home cooking. Nothing canned, nothing factory processes and nothing to cry about.
Read moreMeal was perfect, the Jerk Jackfruit was phenomenal and though nowhere spicy enough for me, for a dollar more I got a little rami of Panamanian chili salsa picante which blew up the flavors and deviously satisfied mi wan fi fiyah.
Hosts open mics on Friday afternoons at 2pm as of May 2023 and is attached to a little gift shop. There are four or five tables under the shade around the kitchen and likely more out back as needed. Excellent, and awesome and good work, well done by all involved.
Big ups!

Viajé 4,5 horas desde San José para probar este porro y quedé muy sorprendido con la calidad, la dedicación y el propósito del anfitrión. Todo esto es Ital cocina casera al estilo jamaiquino, fresca, de temporada, artesanal. Nada enlatado, nada de procesos de fábrica y nada de qué llorar.
La comida fue perfecta, el Jerk Jackfruit fue fenomenal y, aunque para mí no era lo suficientemente picante, por un dólar más obtuve un poco de rami de salsa picante de chile panameño que explotó los sabores y satisfizo tortuosamente a mi wan fi fiyah.
Presenta micrófonos abiertos los viernes por la tarde y está adjunto a una pequeña tienda de regalos. Hay cuatro o cinco mesas debajo de la sombra alrededor de la cocina y probablemente más atrás según sea necesario. Excelente, increíble y buen trabajo, bien hecho por todos los involucrados.
Big ups!
Pros: vegan owned , fresh ingredients, great flavor
