Hilltop Jamaica Restaurant & Lounge Pomona | Our Story

Island Food, Pomona Roots

Hilltop Jamaican has been feeding Pomona since 1993 — one plate of Famous Oxtails, one freshly made patty at a time. This is the story behind the food.

The Food Comes First

The Food Comes First

Braised oxtails, fragrant curry goat, Caribbean red snapper brown stew, escovitch, or steamed to order — nothing here is rushed, and you can taste the difference.

Made in-house in four flavors — beef, jerk chicken, curry chicken, and veggie — Mama's Patties are a brand within a brand, distributed well beyond the restaurant's four walls.
