Downey Food Mart is a friendly, family-owned store that offers a great mix of gas, food, snacks, and drinks at fair prices. The store features a unique selection of international and Caribbean snacks, including hard-to-find items not available at larger chain stores like 7/11. Customers particularly enjoy the authentic Jamaican food served on Fridays and Saturdays by Anita’s Jamaican Kitchen, which is highly praised for its fresh, flavorful, and filling dishes. The food is considered some of the best around, with generous portions and excellent prices. Visitors often recommend pairing the delicious Jamaican dishes with one of the Jamaican kolas available inside. The owners are welcoming, friendly, and hardworking, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The store is also clean, and the new owners from Jamaica are expanding with plans for a Jamaican to-go restaurant in summer 2023. Overall, Downey Food Mart is a great place to buy local, enjoy authentic Caribbean cuisine, and find unique snacks and beverages. It’s a neighborhood spot loved for its friendly service, authentic offerings, and community vibe.
I cannot explain how awesome this place is. Anita's Jamaican Kitchen is the real deal. It's authentic, fresh, and plentiful. Seriously I have never gotten so much food for such a great price. The owners are lovely and so enjoyable to talk to! Make sure when you get the food to get the Jamaican Kolas inside!
