Food tastes horrible, customer service is awful and presentation of food is also atrocious.
I was craving a beef patty. We ordered through ubereats and got beef pattys, coco bread and stew chicken with rice and peas. Everything was so delicious!!
The food didnt taste good at all. I dont think its Jamaican owners, because the woman didnt know.what stew peas and white rice was.....the stew chicken tasted stale, and had the skin on.....who cooks stew chicken with skin.....yuck.....makes me wonder if they cleaned the chicken properly. I threw it all in the garbage, even pepper couldn't help it. my mother couldnt eat the soup
it full up of pimento and no taste. that went in the trash too.

Taste of Jamaica offers fresh and tasty Caribbean food, with a menu full of delicious options. The Jamaican beef patties are a must-try, and the coconut rice is flavorful. The cooks truly know their craft. While the service could be friendlier, the small and clean restaurant provides a good dining experience. Customers appreciate the authentic Jamaican spices, herbs, snacks, and the overall quality of the food. Their jerk chicken meal has a perfect spice blend, and the jerk sauce adds a nice touch, though some wish for more to go with the rice. The oxtails are very tender and flavorful, served with rice and beans, cabbage, and plantains, which customers loved. The portions are generous for the price, and the desserts like rum cake and pound cake are highly enjoyed. Despite being a small, humble spot, it is considered one of the best places for Jamaican cuisine nearby, with friendly staff making every visit pleasant. Many customers feel this restaurant is a favorite for authentic Jamaican dishes and plan to visit often before any changes happen. Overall, it remains a great spot for satisfying Jamaican food. Recent reviews mention some issues with the meals, such as receiving baked chicken instead of jerk chicken and problems with the cabbage tasting metallic. One customer was disappointed that their chicken soup didn't contain actual chicken, feeling it was more broth with some bones and fat. However, others praise the curry chicken, noting the good spices and ginger, describing it as a warm hug.
