I recently visited Tastees for the second time, and overall, the food is pretty good! I ordered the oxtail with rice and plantains to go. I also ordered the stew chicken for my partner, but I can't vouch for It because I didn't try It. The oxtail was tender and literally came right off the bone, which is always a good sign. The rice and plantains were also tasty, and the portions are definitely generous. Unlike a lot of places that skimp on portion size, Tastees fills up the pan, which I really appreciated.
However, I did run into a small hiccup when I asked for mac and cheese—unfortunately, they were out. I was a bit disappointed, but when I asked for a side of plantains instead, I was told they couldn’t guarantee there would be enough left by the time I got there. It was around 6 p.m. when I called, so I was a little surprised that they were running low this early. Despite this, I did end up getting my plantains when I arrived, so all worked out in the end.
One thing to note is that parking in the area can be tricky. Most people seem to be double-parked along the street, so it’s something to consider when visiting. Not really a reflection of the restaurant itself, but worth mentioning.

I’ve been coming here for around six years and I started to notice that they are overcharging people who aren’t Jamaican.

I don’t know about the food and pastries but the cake that they claimed that it’s fresh tasted really horrible, tasted nothing like cake it tasted like it was burnt and just waste of time and ingredients making it, i was pissed off cuz each slice were 5 dollars! Like chill, even the best cakes slice are not like that. I literally threw them away I bought a lemon and a chocolate cake and they were full of just sour dough and like someone is tryna bake for the first time. Yet their appearance looked good which is weird.

The bread pudding was the worst I have ever seen and tasted!Banana bread and carrot cake sliced were also very disappointing, full of baking soda taste and smell.

Been gone for 6 months. Service is still terrible. At least they're consistent. If I could get salmon patties somewhere else I'd never go back.
Kinda what you’d expect as far as service lol, but the food is worth it. I like the bread options they

Patty are always good

Worst service ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!Every time you go it’s a different price. On the menu it’s $3.00 each for a patty I bought 2 chicken Patties. Gave the lady at the register $6 cash. She’s going to tell me it’s tax on Patties. Since when???? Just last week I paid $6. On top of that you buy food from them they charge for plastic bag to put your food in. Just ridiculous. Wouldn’t recommend…….
