Carena's Jamaican Delicious

My friend (Marguer-eats) and I ventured deep into the south side Saturday night for some eats at Carena's and were well treated for it..  The ambience of Carena's is not fantastic but for fuck sake it was a Friendly's in a past life so we forgave them for that.  We were promptly attended to by a seemingly 9 year old Russian girl who proved to be a very good and pleasant server.  We started off with the conch fritters which were very nicely prepared if not totally exciting but still worth it.  My friend had the salmon which as we found was the much lighter of the two entree selections.  The fish was light, tasty and very nicely turned out.  I had the tilapia which was much richer in every way:  saucier, more savory, more sloppy yet altogether yummy.  I was doing a bunch of ecstasy-style moaning and groaning while eating.  I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Altogether, the meal was great, well worth it and will certainly visit again.  Phil.
