Evelyn & Olive

My son and I decided to have our weekly meet up here today and what an awesome choice it was! Being pescatarian and plant based respectively we enjoy going out on most Wednesdays and trying restaurants.
There were 3 choices for vegans/vegetarians excluding sides, at E&O.
My son had the potato/chickpea curry with a side of greens and rice.
It sounded tempting but I went for the black bean tacos served with rice and a tomato & cucumber salad. I have lots of taco experience under my belt before going plant based from Memphis to 5 years in San Antonio.
This was THE best tacos I have EVER had.
I've had some seriously delicious street tacos but man, this was an altogether different and glorious experience.
I cleared my plate, which is odd for me. We also ordered adult beverages.
I took my Jamaican Lemonade to go because I was driving.
She made it without ice so I am able to have it now at 6:30 pm as I write this.
Again, a great experience with properly made drinks.
I do look forward to the Jamican Punch but they were out today. Our meals were $10.90 each.
A reasonable price for a big meal these days.

Owner response

As soon as our feet crossed the threshold, we were greeted.
It felt like we had come to an aunts place.
Mary was the most informative and hospitable server.
We ate slow, talked, laughed, and enjoyed! The lemonade was perfection.
The beef patties were full of spicy flavor enveloped in a flaky pastry.
The ox tails were tender and moist.
It reminded me of a succulent roast packed with flavor.
I had the pasta ot was packed with flavor and more than I could finish.

I love this place! This was my 1st, but definitely not last visit.
The taste is almost authentic to Jamaican food.
I had the Jerk infused burger 😋.
My co-workers ordered the Rasta Pasta, Jerk Chicken Pasta & Grilled Chicken wrap.
Everyone was more than satisfied.
Our waiter, Corey, was really nice & attentive.
I can't wait to go back.
We went during lunch hours (Memphis downtown dinning) & it was not crowded.
The prices are not expensive at all.
I highly recommend this restaurant
