    It's located right above Fromage Bistro. I really liked it, especially the lay out and the decorations. It had a bit of a vintage and cozy feel. The food presentation was excellent and it tasted good. Their food offerings are different from the average restaurant. It is a good place to take your family or to go on a date with your special someone. The customer service was very good and the owner quite easy to talk to. I would totally recommend you visit this place.😁

    The ambiance, the food, the customer service and the prices all combined makes Cafe El Centro a place for lunch or dinner. It is a great place to unwind in the evenings with friends to have good conversation. One of the best places in Kingston

    Went on the recommendation that they do the best steaks. Staff were nice, but no steak available.... :-( Had Thai shrimp curry, was average. Standard $50 with wine and beer.

    Well, I have had the tab to review Cafe El Centro open on my phone since we went in November 2019. LOL. Suffice to say,at this point, that 5 if us showed up late, ate a variety of dishes and they were ALL Fantastic! Absolutely one of our favourite meals,anywhere on the Island, over two trips to Jamaica.

    This place is just awesome. The food is exceptional. EVERYTHING we ordered was very tasty. Succulent pork chops and chicken breast stuffed with cheesy kalaloo, the soup fries hash browns everything was just above average. A+ is your grade I was very pleased.
