This was my second visit to this restaurant, and I reduced my star rating to 2 stars. I ordered the Jerk Chicken, and it wasn't authentic jerk chicken, they used tiny pieces of chicken, and a store bought jerk sauce, that poured over the chicken like a barbecue sauce. This jerk sauce was so bad it gave me heartburn for a day. I'm not sure how the food was so delicious my first time there, then so bad my second time, Sometimes businesses make changes to save money, but where you're serving to Jamaicans who are looking for an authentic taste of back home, cheap fixes is shooting yourself in the foot. The good news, the place looks great, the deck looks almost complete, we'll overlook the Panda bear pictures on some of the tables, most people know panda bears live in China. The bathroom was clean, and the staff was very friendly. I won't be ordering the Jerk Chicken anymore. curry goat for me next time.

Maybe I ordered the wrong thing (oxtails) I was not impressed I actually ended up throwing my most of my food away not flavorful and greasy . And the service could be better I was reviewing the menu and the lady behind the cash registrar snapped at me to get my attention .. That just rubbed me the wrong way.

Sometimes the food is good and sometimes you feel like you might get food poisoning. I do not feel comfortable with the fact that they leave cream based dressings on the unrefrigerated.

I went expecting some spicy jerk pork, instead I got jerk pork sirloin..It was not good to me..It left a bad taste in my mouth.

I had the jerk chicken dinner there while on vacation in Orlando. The food was great! Great portions, great flavor, great bang for the buck. The meal was under $10, came with peas and rice, and a side (of my choosing) of plantains. There's a sign inside that says your choice of 2 sides. I felt it was a little misleading. But I was still pleased with the portion size. The chicken was spicy, but not ridiculous. It was savory, smoky, and even a bit sweet. I'd gone to 2 other "Caribbean" places in central Orlando, this was the best. Hands down.

They have a lunch special! Who doesn't love a good lunch special?? $4.99 can get you curried or jerk chicken lunch special with a drink Monday through Friday 12 pm to 4 pm. It comes with rice, beans, and your choice of side. Try the plantains you could never go wrong with plantains. You could never go wrong with a lunch special.

I really had high hopes for this place, but not being able to finish the food is lamentable. I ordered the stew peas which is my favorite Jamaican dish. When it arrived, it slightly resembled stew peas, but it was quite different-looking. The taste was horrible and some of the morsels of meat tasted slightly old or spoiled. Never again, and that's a shame because the service was friendly enough.

Never again! I love Jamaican food, but not this place! I ordered jerk chicken, and they gave me BBQ chicken that didnt taste anything like jerk! I also ordered coco bread and beef patties and they totally forgot to give them to me. I ordered over the phone for pick up and the girl was so rude, she made me stay on hold a while and then when she finally got back on the line she asked me to call back in 5 minutes. ??? So I thought they were really busy, when I pulled up to restaurant it was completely empty not one customer! Horrible experience!

I found this little brightly colored fast food restaurant when driving down OBT one afternoon, It was very unlike any of the other dirty grey buildings along that strech of road. In fact it looked interesting enough so I decided why not give it a shot. Upon walking inside Taste of Jamaica its easy to see the island inspiration. Its completely yellow and green, The colors of the Jamaican flag and is as authentic as it gets. It had decor straight out of this Rastafarian paradise. The owners and employees were obviously natives of this island and they had a menu that showed it. I got the jerk chicken meal, it was a lunch special that came with a side and soda. And boy, the flavors were spot on. No ordinary fast food joint in town can compare to this little Jamaican experience. It was messy but perfect for getting the vibe you are one with the earth as these folks inspire a great feeling and taste of something outside of the normal Florida scene.
