The food was excellent and service was great. So happy to have such a place in Vallejo. I had the oxtails and my husband had the chicken curry with rice. Everything was delicious.

Urban Fusions in Vallejo is a truly authentic Caribbean, Southern, and soul food experience! From the food to the atmosphere and service, everything exceeded my expectations. I ordered the gumbo, and it was delicious. It was well-seasoned, served piping hot, and had a great mix of small and jumbo shrimp--both without shells, which I appreciated. The crab meat was already picked out rather than being served in the shell, making it easy to enjoy without extra effort. The andouille sausage gave the gumbo a nice kick of flavor. No complaints at all! My lemon berry mango lemonade was sweet, just the way my son likes it, and it was served with fancy ball-shaped ice, which added a nice touch. However, I would have preferred less ice since my son finished it in two gulps! We had someone at our table with a shellfish allergy, and I want to give a big shoutout to the server, who was very accommodating. They made sure to bring out that person's food first to prevent any cross-contamination. My husband ordered the oxtails with sides of greens, rice, and cornbread. He enjoyed the meal and said the cornbread was moist and tasted like cake. The rice paired well with the oxtails, though he found the oxtails a bit salty. My son ordered the three-way combo with chicken, fish, and shrimp/prawns, along with a side of oxtail gravy and rice and candied yams. He had the catfish, and it was moist--not over-fried or hard. You can tell that Urban Fusion cooks with grace and takes their time to provide quality over quantity. The portions are fairly big, and everything is well-prepared. The candied yams were not overly sweet, tasted fresh--not canned--and were well-seasoned. The oxtail gravy and rice were also flavorful, though he mentioned he would have preferred a different side instead. Now, I have to highlight the mac & cheese--hands down, the best mac & cheese I've had in Vallejo! Many places serve mac & cheese, but this was homemade with no American cheese or processed flavors. You could taste the authenticity, and my kids even said a lot of the food reminded them of our holiday meals at home, which meant a lot to me. The restaurant itself is not very big. One side of the restaurant has high-top barstool seating, while the other side features booths, so I'm not sure how they would accommodate large parties. However, the space gives off a diner-like setting with a jazzy, date-night feel. The ambiance is enhanced by wholesome, soulful music, which adds to the charm. This place has a class! There is also a bar, which adds to the upscale but relaxed atmosphere. Whether you're looking for a great meal or a nice drink, this spot delivers. Beyond the food, the staff are friendly and hospitable, and make you feel like family. You can tell this is a community-loved spot, as customers treated the staff with respect and kindness. Urban Fusion is more than just a restaurant--it's an experience that brings authentic Caribbean, Southern, and soul food to Vallejo. I truly value this restaurant because they focus on delivering quality food, which is hard to find in Vallejo these days. You can taste the care and effort in every bite. I 100% recommend this place to anyone looking for real, quality soul food. I hope they stay in Vallejo for a long time because this is the kind of quality dining experience we need more of!

I ordered the fried catfish plates. The food was delicious. I enjoyed the sides of red beans and rice; macaroni and cheese. They too were delicious. The raspberry tea is great. The atmosphere of nice soothing jazz music was so relaxing. The staff and service is outstanding. I definitely will return to try other items on the menu.

I've been in buildings like this in Vallejo and none of them look as nice as this one. We enjoyed nice jazz music. I came just for the catfish and I was not disappointed. Keep in mind these prices come with very large portions. So, I find it fair. 1 entre and 2 apps were enough food to feed 3 people. My cocktail was fantastic and had tropical flavors. Next time we are going to try the gumbo and the ribs. Their barbecue sauce was on point. Sweet and spicy. Service was outstanding. It seems like these people really care about the work they are doing.

What an amazing experience. I ordered the fried pork chops with Mac and cheese. Delicious. The portion was great, the flavor was on point. It felt like it was an undiscovered gem, but the places filled up quickly and everyone was raving about the food and dynamic owner. I'll be back, a lot.

I've found a winner! Awesome light yet soulful atmosphere. Decor and palette of colors in the space prompt a very chill vibe. This is my second time here, and it doesn't go unnoticed that the owner and her staff are beautiful people. It just works with the overall scenery. Now, the food? Well, it's delicious . The menu has something for everyone, just what you'd expect at an Urban Cocina. What other restaurant offers a taco, a curry, and a day dedicated to traditional soul food? I'm vegan, and the beans and rice are my favorite. The rice is cooked perfectly. The beans are seasoned as though cooked in a home kitchen, and I appreciate it. I'm sending my mother and God mother's here next week....I already know they are going to love it. It is important to know that this is not fast food. Do not come in a rush. If you do, please let the staff know you are in a rush it's not quick.
