Whatchoo guys think of Ticki'z Belizan Cuisine?

Hey y'all!

So I chanced on this place online Ticki'z Belizan Cuisine at 1548 W. Howard Street. I haven't found any reviews on it, just wondering if my fellow gourmets have any opinions? Danke!

I live right down the street and I've never been there. I'll check it out this weekend, and report back.

awesome! looking forward to your review!

I've tried it a couple times . . .shrug. I prefer flower's pot, even though they can be variable and sometimes the portions aren't as big as I'd like. When the oxtail is on (which in my experience has been most of the time) it is very good.

In the micro-neighborhood, I'd take Au rendez-vous (Haitian) over tickie's any day of the week.

A few weeks ago I had lunch there because I found it before I found the other jerk chicken place on Howard.

The sign on the door indicated it was open. I parked the car, fed the meter and walked over to find the door locked though people were visible inside. I knocked on the door anyway and was allowed to come in to eat if I didn't mind their cleaning up around me. The owner didn't give me a menu, he simply asked if I wanted pork or turkey. I chose the pork.

I had brought along something to read. When my meal arrived, I didn't take any pictures because the guy guessed I might be some food critic; though I don't know why. It sort of dimmed my enthusiasm for taking a picture, which not only is something to show later but it also helps to trigger the memory.

The pork was deep fat fried and served in fairly large chunks. There was a coconut-based dipping sauce for the meat as well as my rice in a separate bowl as well as beans in another bowl. I really liked the sauce, which seemed to improve everything it touched. The total tab with a bottle of pop was around $12.

Only after my meal did I finally get a menu to look at. Clearly they were not prepared to serve anyone when I arrived yet it was very kind they didn't turn me away. They simply offered what was readily available.
