Best Haitian Restaurant Vallejo Near Me

4worldlovers:
I visited Ruthies for the first time with my son on Saturday evening. We ordered oxtails, beans and rice, sautéed vegetables, plantains, and featival bread. Everything was delicious! Ruthie is such a sweetheart. I'll definitely be a regular customer.

First off let me just say that this place is CLEAN, like really clean. The staff was so nice and polite, it's like they have known me for years, the staff was very welcoming. I ordered the house salad, fried plantains and ox tails, my wife ordered lamb stew. The Ox tails were so damn tender and delicious, the flavor was just right. The spices did not over power the dish, it was excellent. My drink was a soursop smoothy. If you have never had a soursop smoothy before, you are missing out on life. My wife's lamb stew was incredible. The meat just fell off the bone. The fried plantains were hella good. The atmosphere was awesome, definitely a place to stay and eat. My wife and I will become a regular at Ruthie's, count on that. Best Caribbean food in the bay. Period.

Where do I begin for this 5 star rating. The food in itself would have come very close to a 5, but it was the hospitality that Ruthie offered us that puts it over the top! She treated us like family from the moment she emerged from the kitchen. Especially our son, whom paid extra special attention to by preparing him fresh juices to try...one of her personal favorite things to do she says. He had the Gingerade and Sorrel and both were so refreshing and different than anything we had ever had. The sit down menu is a very scaled down version of the to go and that is only because Ruthie wants to make sure that you are completley satisfied with your dining experience and so dishes that take longer and only served for take out...unless you don't mind the extra wait. We didn't so we tried as much as we could. Our baby boy had the chicken fettucini alfredo (not pictured because he started way too fast, lol)...not traditional caribbean, but it was delicious! One of the ladies in the kitc...

The food was sooooo flavorful! Starting from the mandarin dressing of the salad (which just comes for the table with any order). The goat curry was super succulent and the the jerk chicken was perfect with crispy skin. The chef was so kind, came out to reassure us about all our food restrictions. All their entrees are also gluten free which was amazing.

This place is worth the drive from the east bay! They are so good, my husband had the jerk chicken and i had the oxtails . All i can say is there no complaints here. Its a must try for sure.

This place is the best! There food is amazing every time. Everything on the menu is amazing. Such a great environment. Everyone there makes me feel like I am back home in Jamaica.

The cuisine of Haiti is a rich, exotic way of cooking that takes different cuisine into account... Taino, Spanish, French...

This caribbean island has created a taste all it's own, a little of everything from all the colonize countries that came over the centuries, and blend together a tasty cuisine that bears a distinct signature.
