*NEW* Jamaican Jerk Chicken with Pigeon Pea Rice, Roasted Sweet Plantains, and Cinnamon Butter – $6.25
Rank out of 7: 7
The plantains are good and cooked correctly, about as perfectly cooked as a plantain can be. The jerk chicken is cooked perfectly as well, but for the price, we’d like a larger portion, or at least two drumsticks. The chicken is tender and juicy, with a nice smoky and spicy flavor. The rice is also, as one of our festival team put it, “bangin’.” We think our one drumstick had less meat on it than others, but for the price, it’s a pretty good deal and very delicious.
*NEW* Seafood Ceviche: Shrimp, Scallops, and Fish with Citrus, Radish, and Chulpe – $8.25

This dish has a great amount of seafood, but the crisp vegetables still shine through. However, we would only recommend it if you are a definite fan of ceviche.
*NEW* Coconut-Chocolate Flancocho: Chocolate Cake, Coconut Custard, and Passion Fruit Caramel – $5.25

The chocolate cake is dark and rich, while the custard keeps it moist. Two of our reporters did not enjoy the passion fruit caramel, but said it wasn’t a deal-breaker.
Citrus Slushy: Simply Lemonade, Simply Grapefruit and Simple Syrup (Non-Alcoholic) – $4.75
Rank out of 7: 5
This is both Incredibly tart and very sweet. Overall, it tastes as it’s described on the menu. It starts off as a frozen drink, which is good for the current Florida heat. This is solid, refreshing non-alcoholic drink for the spring and summer weather.
*NEW* Woodchuck Chuck’s Imperials Wild Tropics Hard Cider, Middlebury, VT (8.0% ABV) – $5.75 for 6 oz., $9.75 for 12 oz.
From Woodchuck Cidery: “Transport to the tropics with the taste of passion fruit and dragon fruit in this exotic semi-sweet imperial.”
*NEW* Florida Orange Groves Winery Hurricane Class 5 Tropical Sangria, St. Petersburg, FL ($25/bottle) – $11.50
From Florida Orange Groves Winery: “A secret blending of five of our most popular tropical wines creates our family’s signature wine. Uniquely Florida, this white sangria is made with our pineapple, passion fruit, key lime, mango and watermelon wines.”
Citrus Slushy: Simply Lemonade, Simply Grapefruit, Simple Syrup, and Don Q Límon Rum ($14/bottle) – $12.00
Rank out of 7: 6
You can really taste the rum in this, which isn’t always common. The rum definitely changes the flavor profile of the drink, and cuts the lemonade a lot more than the non-alcoholic version, making the grapefruit taste more prevalent. We prefer this version.
