Lawd have mercy... let me tell you, if I keep following Dre in Dallas on his food adventures, I'm gonna be eating real good all year long! The way that meat slid right off the bone in his video? I knew I had to put this spot's oxtails on my must-try list.Now, I usually steer clear of rice and peas because more often than not, the peas are undercooked, and the rice is hard. But this time, I took a leap of faith--and let me tell you, it paid off! IT WAS A HIT! Yelpers, listen up: 10/10... A+++... Certified .The portion size? Massive. This one meal stretched into dinner that night, a small lunch the next day, and another dinner after my YMCA workout. Tell me, what meal out here is feeding you for two whole days? I'll wait... NONE .The mac? Creamy, seasoned to perfection--absolutely divine. I asked for extra gravy on my rice, and they heard me loud and clear. That was hands down some of the best rice and peas I've ever had from a Jamaican restaurant. And the oxtails? Bussin'. No debate. Finger-lickin' good.If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food that brings the true flavors of the islands, look no further--Taste of Jamaica is it!

The food is amazing here !! I wouldn't say that I am a regular , although I have eaten at this spot a few times . I won't lie , there are sometimes when the food has been better than other days . I am a huge fan of oxtails. And theirs are really good. They always give you such huge portions of everything, allowing me to have the opportunity to enjoy the food more than once (leftovers), but depending on the day and I am assuming the cook , the food quality could be better. The taste and the quantity of the food always exceeds expectations, but here recently the oxtails have been a little tough/harder to eat than usual. Just the other day , I ordered the medium oxtail and curry goat plate that comes with rice and peas and cabbage. I appreciate how this restaurant allows you to substitute the sides , instead of rice and peas I got Mac and cheese .. I enjoyed it all , just feel like the oxtails were overcooked or undercooked , I'm not sure !! But they were hard as h***/ rubbery. These days I tend to have a lot of my orders doordashed to my house . So I haven't had the opportunity to check out the ambiance recently. However , a couple of my employees frequent this restaurant and they say that the staff is some approachable and friendly. That they are always willing to make accommodation and the food is always fresh and hot !! I absolutely recommend this restaurant!!!

Do not DoorDash with this restaurant, if you can go in person to verify what you're buying, then fine, but if you're using a delivery service, don't! They have a way of sending out their worse food items or not sending those items at all if you're ordering delivery services! This has been my third negative experience with them whereby they've shorted me an item or two or sent out the worse items in their store! I try to patronize Black businesses, but some of these businesses don't prioritize good customer service and should be out of business, period! Below is a sample of my order from 1/17/25 whereby I ordered 3 meat patties and 1 coco bread, as you can see, they shorted me one patty, the other two were burnt and the coco bread was smashed! I again tried them today (1/18/25) to give them another chance, same scenario, they shorted me one item on my order! I have zero tolerance for inept people and their poor or shoddy business practices! As a Black person, I tried to give more opportunities to my people to do right! If this was any other ethnicities, I would have slammed them on the first try and not give them second and third chances as I've done with this business!

This a family oriented and owned business serving the absolute best Jamaican food. If you ever jam have in inkling to get Jamaican food, the drive is worth it. The ambiance is homey. I do not recommend dinning in because you are going to get down. I have had the oxtail meal before and it was by far the tastiest, most tender oxtail meal I ever had! This time I got the jerk chicken meal. The meals come with rice and peas and two sides. I usually get cabbage and yams.

I must admit that when I pull up to the spot I was a little skeptical by the appearance and some crazy man who appeared to be high off some substance was walking back and forth. Never the less we went inside for some familiar Caribbean food. Once inside there is a pool table w/ RB music playing in the background. I order the veggie plate with a side order of plantain. My husband order Jerk Chicken. The Plantain was extremely soft, with just the right amount of brown caramelized goodness. My rice and veggie was good. Not to spicy, season just right for those with a more basic palate. You can add spice if you like it more robust. However, for me it was just right.My husband on the other hand said his jerk chicken was spicy but good. Overall the food hit the spot and portion sizes were super sized l. We order large and had so much food left over. I hope this spot continues to keep the goodness going bc if they do I will be a returning customer.

Felt lazy and craved Caribbean food today. Decided to try something new instead of ordering from my usual. Came across this place "Taste of Jamaica". Since a taste of Jamaica is what I wanted ..... I chose this place and ordered a beef patty, the "large" order of Oxtails, and the Reggae Chicken Pasta (both I requested with extra gravy and pasta sauce). Of the 3 dishes, I enjoyed the beef patty as it was the only item that was flavorful and closest to a Jamaican taste. The main entrees were a true disappointment. Both the chicken and oxtails were so dry. I don't think had I even gotten the extra sauce I requested would have made a difference. I gave this 1 star due to the preparation and lack of caribbean flavor.

Yelp rarely lies. The reviews said this place was bad and they were right!! The hostess who took my order was nice so the second start is for her... Food didn't have much flavor. Here's a list of things that went wrong. 1) I ordered oxtail plate, did not come with plantain... weird2) Food was hot and fresh 3) Food had no flavor, cabbage was bland, rice and peas bland, oxtails were ok.4) I asked for extra sauce on the side, it's $1. However I was charged $2 for 1oz sugar rays bbq sauce.You won't feel happy about your purchase. Feels like they are trying to nickel and dime you for some watered down food. I wont be back. Not flavorful and overpriced... no thank you.
