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.
