From the Kitchen
Island Food, Pomona Roots, SoCal Reach
Hilltop Jamaican has been feeding Pomona since 1993, one plate of Famous Oxtails, one freshly made patty at a time. What started as a neighborhood spot in downtown Pomona has become a destination for Jamaican food lovers across Southern California.
Today, customers drive from LA County, Riverside County, and even San Diego County to get a taste of what Hilltop is cooking. Located right in the heart of the greater Los Angeles area, Hilltop brings the flavors of Jamaica to one of the most diverse food scenes in the country.
Whether it's the jerk chicken, the curry goat, or the oxtails that keep people coming back, the secret is simple: everything is made from scratch with real ingredients and bold seasoning. No shortcuts, no compromises, just 32 years of authentic Jamaican cooking that speaks for itself.
Hilltop is more than a restaurant. It's a gathering place for the community, a reminder of home for those who miss the islands, and a discovery for anyone tasting real Jamaican food for the first time. Pull up a seat, you're part of the family now.
