Fodor's Expert Review Canje

$$$ East Austin Caribbean

The Guyanese roots of chef Tavel Bristol-Joseph take hold in this Caribbean concept eatery on the east side. In addition to Guyana, the house specialties feature influences from Jamaica to Puerto Rico, with standouts like jerk chicken and wild-boar pepper pot. Careful attention is also paid to cocktails and desserts here, like the tres leches with coconut, roasted white chocolate, and guava.
