“I'm so glad we finally found some great authentic Jamaican food close to home! Our first time trying Taste of Jamaica was for a delivery order. We ordered the beef patties and jerk chicken plates and every part of the meal was flavorful. The rice and beans were some of the best I've ever had. Jerk chicken pieces were seasoned and marinated well even without the jerk sauce. That said, adding that slightly sweet, spicy jerk sauce really elevated the experience. The plates come with two sauces and honestly, we couldn't help ourselves from drizzling the rice and the chicken with it. Im ending with the cabbage but don't get me wrong, that cabbage was not at all a side show. It was filled with flavor and complimented by carrots as well. Everything was perfection. Portions were generous and absolutely worth the money. We can't wait to order from Taste of Jamaica again very soon.“
“Good to Go staff led by the manager Chavonne (I hope I spelled it right) was outstanding in helping me throw my wife's 50th birthday party which was epic and a blessing. It was supposed to be on the rooftop but it was probably one of the roughest rain days of the year. However, the pivot was real and they moved everything downstairs without a blink of an eye! Kudos to Lenice Levy the owner and an awesome place to eat on the North Shore!“

“Food is very good, especially the hen and coco rice. Festival is the best I’ve had outside of Jamaica. Service has always been very friendly and the inside has always been clean. Definitely would recommend, especially if you’re looking for something besides fast food and fries.“
“You want AMAZING Jamaican food? Come to De-Jred. You want a simple and cozy ambience, with the nicest people serving and helping you? Come to De-Jred. Come for the smiles, the laughs, and a little taste of Jamaica. I’ve rarely visited a restaurant where not only was every entree good, but also every component of that entree was delicious - De-Jred happens to just such a restaurant. From the lady serving us with a smile, to the beautiful lady sitting at the counter and bringing us our food, to the vibrant gentleman cooking in the back - everyone wore a smile, and had a great attitude. The food was phenomenal and cooked to perfection. I hate cabbage, and I polished it off my plate before I even touched the other things on my plate! The variety of Caribbean sodas being offered, transported me right back to the beautiful beaches of Jamaica. We finished our meal with a dessert of coconut drops and sweet potato pudding - both were good but that sweet potato pudding deserves a special mention because it was truly scrumptious. Also, for those to whom this matters, they serve Halal meat (see my pics). All in all, I don’t care how far this is from me, I’m going to be coming here over and over and over and over and over again!!! Highly highly highly recommend!!!“
“Very flavorful food! This is a hidden gem, always quiet when I come! This is some of the best Jamaican food I’ve had ever! Me and my mom came here twice in one week lol. The jerk chicken is delicious and so are their sides. You don’t wanna miss out on this!“
“If I could give more stars I would. I’ve had the oxtails, red beans and rice, curry goat and none have disappointed. The flavors and portions have all been great. Looking forward to my next visit and to try something new on the menu. Gonna have to say this is one of my top Jamaican restaurant choices in Rogers Park, definitely on the north side.“
“This place was absolutely fantastic there jerk Chicken was very good and the oxtail was proportioned very well in plain terms they gave you a healthy amount of oxtails Great food workers was nice this place was great thank you for your service.“
“I had an issue and asked to speak with the Manager or Owner. I was told he’s preparing meals but I’ll let him know you want to talk to him. Dinner was served and it was delicious! Just as we finished our meals and received our check, he comes up.I explained my concerns and offered suggestions. He was very pleasant and receptive. I look forward to going back with great expectations. Ill give 3 1/2 ⭐️“
“By far. By far. My favorite Jamaican food spot. The portions are big and every bite is so flavorful and delicious. The people there are kind and sweet and will remember you! Love this place and I get food from here every chance I get. Always satisfied and happy coming here.“
