Top Taste Jamaican Restaurant

They can’t make roti a pound of crap was in between the roti literally filled up my plate with roti flour it was a hot mess for the price. They need to do better, the soup is good. They need to take roti off the menu 😤 2/10 leave it to the trini ppl 🥴. NEVA AGAIN

Good authentic Jamaican eats. Oxtail, goat, rice and peas , along with a variety of Caribbean drinks. Served cafeteria style with big portions. Service was friendly and fast. With only tables for about 8 people most orders are to-go. It's on an Industrial area so it's not fancy but if you want Jamaican eats tough to go wrong.

OMG! Love the curry goat - the flavor and the texture! So rare to find good goat meal like this! Also love the vibe here - everyone is so happy and friendly. One can be stopped by the exterior and location (such as my wife), but you gotta go inside and take a bit at something. You will forget about what’s outside immediately

I have shopped/ate with Top Taste many times. Pickup and delivery through DoorDash or Uber Eats. The food quality is always excellent. This one particular time, the madam who took my order, Raquel, had the utmost patience with me as we were having trouble on the apps ordering food. She worked diligently to try and fulfill my order over and beyond what was required or expected. We spent almost 40 minutes trying to find a solution, which we did eventually and it wouldn’t have happened without her. Her effort and show of care for “just another customer” was highly appreciated and I can’t thank her, and the staff that helped her carry out the task, but especially her for making this happen. She’s there Monday-Wednesday. Greatest customer service I’ve EVER received for a delivery order. 20/10 highly recommend! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I visited Top Taste Jamaican Restaurant on my way to Key West and I was pleasantly surprised by the quality and quantity of the food. The jerk chicken was tender and flavorful, the rice and peas were cooked to perfection, and the plantains were sweet and crispy. The portions were huge and the prices were very reasonable. The staff was friendly and attentive, and they made me feel welcome with their Jamaican hospitality. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a taste of the Caribbean in Florida City. 🇯🇲😀

Friendly staff. Great food. I ordered the oxtail with rice and beans. Spicy beef patties. Heard of Top taste Jamaican restaurant on life FM years ago. Had to come check them out.

Ok so it really looks sketchy outside but.... It's legit!! We got oxtail, curry chicken, jerk chicken, and some I can't remember how to spell it fish stew. LOVED the fish stew, it had some tomatoes and was really tasty!! Curry chicken was enjoyed, oxtails were tender and yum. We also got some interesting juices, the mango cherry was yummy! I think the best thing was the staff, the girl was so friendly and helpful and the dude was like HEY DAD to the guy at the grill area, they were so sweet, chill, and helpful! 🥰♥️ Try them out!!!!

Top Taste Jamaican Restaurant, mi deh yah fi support unuh fi over four years now, anytime mi want a likkle taste a yard, a yah so mi forward. But today? Mi haffi talk di truth—mi extremely disappointed! Mi order two large jerk chicken wid rice and peas and plantain. Normally, unuh serve it wid salad, but dis time mi nuh see no salad inna di box. Mi look pon di portion and mi affi wonder if a large mi really pay fah, cause di food look like a medium at best. But di worst part? Mi deh deh a watch mi server inna di Jamaican hat and mi si him put mi food inna microwave—inna di same Styrofoam container! Mi nearly drop dung. Mi run multiple restaurants from South Florida straight down to di Keys, and mi woulda never disrespect mi customers so. Food must be served fresh, not microwave up like leffover. Mi ask bout di fried chicken, and di man come serve mi four piece a cold chicken inna di middle a di day—1:30PM, when food suppose to fresh and hot! Mi tell unuh, one bad experience can turn a loyal customer inna somebody weh nah come back. Mi vex, mi disappointed, and mi cya believe say Top Taste drop di standards so low. Unuh need fi do better, cause di people dem deserve better!

This place looks like an authentic Jamaican restaurant! The young guy who took my order was very pleasant, and kind. The food delicious as always. I only wish they had smaller plates that are maybe less expensive so I can eat here more often.

The food was delicious, especially the rice and beans! The food was ready very quickly, the portion was big for the price, and the chicken was very tender! Only in town for the night, but I'm glad I chose this!

We are in the area as a school group. These wonderful put up a table and managed to find us 10 chairs to sit and eat their wonderful food. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed their meals. I had the wonderfully tender curried goat that came with lovely plantains and beans and rice. I also sampled the very tasty jerk chicken. I can also recommend the rum cake and nutmeg cake. Both were moist, tasty and not overly sweet.

Family owned black business. The food exceptional customer service is exceptional. I go here at least once or twice a week and I will continue to do so for many years true authentic Jamaican cuisine done right every single time.

Food was really tasty! Top taste is the right name for this place. Very authentic and well seasoned food. The patties was my favorite! Akee & salt fish was really good as well.

So disappointing. Was craving some good Jamaican food but this was not it. Every bite was like eating a chicken bone. I'll try again one day but not for a while

My wife and I wowed by they local family run Jamaican Food take-out restaurant! We ordered one jerk chicken and one jerk port combo (large), a bread pudding and a chicken soup. Wow and double wow doesn't do it justice! They provided us a couple delicious sacudes to put on the rice and two for the shredded salad. And a couple hot spicy. The portions fed us each for two generous meals. Just DElicious. The bread pudding was outstanding, moist and flavorful. It also made 4 anole dessert servings. Most of all, the excellent personalized service was was so enjoyable and welcome. Just love a family owned place that everyone gets along so well. There is one table with several chairs, for eating in. The place gets crowded at lunchtime. We have eaten in many Jamaican restaurants both stateside and in the island. The food served here is equal to top of the line. Highly recommend it. We travel in a small RV and it's a destination spot when we get close enough to detour and drop by. Its an easy detour traveling north south east or west. About equal to exit one on the Florida turnpike.

Okay so straight up I know good Jamaican food and just love Caribbean food period. This has been a popular spot down south but I had never been till recently. It's in the hood in Florida City. They use to have a second location in Naranja I liked but they went back to their original store. So one day BF says he's picking up food from the spot. I go for the ride and we get there and the smells just hit you. This is going to be good I'm thinking. While he orders I enjoy just looking at everything. Going into a place like this your always going to see flyers by the door or posters of the next Caribbean bashment coming into town. They always have hot sauces, breads, desserts, seasonings, and other items available for purchase. And let's not forget the DVD's and CD's to, LOL. I love it! Their menu which is handwritten on the wall has Jamaican and Chinese dishes for purchase along with the specials of the day. I usually go back and forth between oxtail and brown stew chicken. On this day we were both in the mood for oxtail, extra gravy on the rice and peas. The dish comes with a cabbage slaw salad. They have 3 different salad dressings. Italian, French, and my favorite Ranch. The man who dishes out the plates has a heavy hand cause both of ours came with to much Ranch. Oh and my BF ordered French but he was to quick with the heavy hand but being that my BF can be sweet at times he just kept his mouth closed instead of correcting him. No biggie there..he usually gives me his salad anyway. The plates were both massive and could barley close, we loved that. They don't go cheap with their plating. When we opened it all the smells and looks were there. We didn't even wait to get home, we just pulled over at the park and began to chow down. This is where my heart broke. The rice and peas were dry and could've used more coconut milk, the sweet plantains were good but you can't really mess that up, the cabbage salad was dry and was drowned in way to much Ranch. But the oxtail...let me tell you looked and smelled delicious and was a hefty portion but it was so lacking in salt. But I'm not going to say I didn't attempt to finish my plate because I ate as much as I could. So yes, I was disappointed, but being that I use to eat at their other location and loved it, I know what their really capable of. I'll just consider this an "off" day as everyone is entitled to have one. So yeah, I'd come back just as of right now I need a little space...lol.

I visited the website of Top Taste Jamaican Restaurant and the prices on the menu do not equate to the prices charged at the restaurant. Even though the food was delicious, the prices are deceiving. They need to update their website. I was a little disappointed when I received my bill.

If you're looking for good Jamaican food down south this is the place. I eat here literally every Saturday lol. Best jerk chicken ask for oxtail gravy on the side. Thank me later.

We have ordered food from here on several occasions; and we are rarely disappointed. Now the food is real authentic Jamaican food; we are not from Jamaica but from another island in the Caribbean Sea. Therefore, all the flavors are there, Scotch Bonnet Pepper, Allspice, Jerk Seasoning, and Almond Essence. Every time we go, we always order the Jerk Chicken. It is so good and close to authentic as you can without being in Jamaica! Get the Jerk Chicken. It's spicy, well seasoned, tasty, and aromatic. The plate comes with white Rice or Rice n' Beans, Salad, and Fried Sweet Plantains, a Caribbean delight! If the food is excellent, the service is subpar. They DO NOT go out of their way to greet you or welcome you in their "shop" (West Indian way of saying restaurant). In fact, they soft spoken with their "thank you" and "you're welcome" with hardly a facial expression. At one point, there was a very rude female working the register, and she was horrible. Her poor training on customer service scarred me and several staple customers away for several months until they replaced her. Then a younger, sweeter young lady was there and things were so much better. I always believe, "great customer service makes the food taste better and the pricer sweeter!"

Top taste for real. Vibes were extremely high and i felt like i became a little bit more jamaican after eating here. I've never had an oxtail sauce that was this good, I had to take some home. The people working here showed love and it comes through in the food.

Great food. Have had the curry chicken, goat, and jerk chicken. Everything was awesome. Call ahead to expedite.

I got the jerk chicken from here and it was horrible wasn't well seasoned and the jerk sauce was a disrespect to jamaicans i don't recommend only Americans could find this food suitable but i can't lie the rice and beans, plantains was good so i give them that not worth it tho.

Probably the best tasting Jamaican food down south. The rice and peas is very tasty -make sure to get that with your meal, jerk chicken and red peas soup was awesome as well. Easy in and out service. Saw a Door dash employee picking up food for someone. Love that you can order ahead or online for easy pick up.

I tried their stew chicken lunch special It was good for the price of $5.56. It came with rice and peas, salad, & plantains and the taste was pretty good . They have a different soup every day of the week which I love and even Chinese food on certain days . Their stew peas & pigtails was cooked just like home , very good. It's a little place in the warehouses but worth a try . I will be back again

I ordered the jerk pork and it was outstanding and I will order it again, I was a bit hesitant but now no more

I stoped here after the Everglades and was very impressed! The lady who took my order was really friendly and down to earth, and the food tasted great!

Looking for a little home cooked Jamaican food this is the place. I ordered the oxtails and brown stew chicken and it was amazing. Would definitely make this place my regular Jamaican restaurant.

I don't recommend this place. I ordered the large brown chicken. I ask to get no leg. They gave me 4 pieces of bone. One had a bit of meat but it tasted bad, like old meat. I ate a bit of rice (overcooked) and threw the rest. I will never go back. Do not go here. save your money.

this place is so goooood! I felt like I was eating my grandmother's cooking. I ordered the curry chicken with white rice, the curry chicken with rice and peas and the jerk chicken with rice and peas. Everything tasted fresh and well seasoned. I ordered delivery through grub hub and thankfully everything arrived according to the timeline. Thank you for making sure the package was stapled shut. I will be ordering again!

Not the best Authentic Jamaican Food I've tasted at all.. first off who doesn't offer breast part of the chicken in jerk chicken only parts offered are drums, thighs smh ordered escovich fried fish i got fried tilapia instead... only thing that decent was my red pea soup .. would not eating there again!

LOL This place was sooo interesting. First of all we got lost trying to look for this place, since the map is wrong. Then we were all like oh my gosh this place looks so sketchy with some loud Jamaican music pumping through the speakers. I was like okay, I'm just going to stay with my group and be aware of my surroundings b/c I don't want to be killed and have my organs harvested. I did love the atmosphere and the ghetto fabulous lounge chairs without the bottom. They also sold a lot of the spices they used on the side-- along with some soda drinks. The food was cooked really hot. I don't condone them to use those white Styrofoam boxes because I think I was literally eating plastic at some point. I got the jerk pork, which was really tasty yum yum. The RICE and beans were even more tasty being soft and not crunchy yum. Good place for food. Atmosphere was interesting, but I think it would only be fun the first few times lol.

Pretty nice quaint place. Good Jamaican food. Ask for Prince. Good food, groceries for purchase, and sweets. Best Jamaican Cuisine in Homestead. Chinese Cuisine also available. Vegetarian meals are available. Jamaican Patties available as well. Fresh made juices in fridge for purchase as well as other drinks. Offer soups of the day. Mini lunch specials also available.

I was looking for something different while visiting Homestead. This place is really good. I had not had Jamaican food before. It's a little hard to find and the place is in an industrial complex. It's worth a stop though. I had the jerk chicken and jerk pork with oxtail gravy with a cold ginger beer. It was so tasty. I also finished it off with a piece of nutmeg cake. I'll be going back.

I went to the Gala on Memorial Day where they were giving away free meals. I expected long horrendous lines outside in the hot sun but it wasn't like that at all. I got my food within 5 min. of being there, it went very well, this event was well organized. Everyone was very nice and friendly. I RSVP'd Jerk Pork with rice and peas for myself, unfortunately I didn't receive Jerk Pork, there was a mix-up and I got Curry chicken with rice and peas instead. But I must say that I wasn't upset because that curry chicken was the best I've had in a long time. It was just the right amount of curry and very flavorful and the rice and peas was very delicious, I could taste the coconut milk and I love that. Both the chicken and the rice had just the right amount of spices so everyone could enjoy it. I'll definitely be going back when I'm in the neighborhood.

Little hole in the wall phenomenon, and great food. The oxtail was cleaned nicely, so lean with home made flavor. Brown stewed chicken was excellent as well. Loved the home made ginger beer. Very reasonably priced as well.

All I can say is yummm. You'd never know this little hole in the wall is so good. I ordered the oxtail. It was tender and delicious. The staff is super friendly. This will be a regular spot.

Great food for a local joint local favors amazing curry mutton rice and peas and clod slaw

Delicious food and great price. They give you big portions and it's soo good. Will definitely keep coming back.

Friend of mine brought over dinner last night and I have to tell I looooove Jamaican food...I did not like this at all! I had the jerk chicken with rice and peas...there was no jerk to the chicken.....nothing...nada....mostly bones, very little meat, no spice...no heat. The rice and peas did not have much flavor to it. I was really looking forward to this meal and it was a huge disapointment.

Map has it wrong. They are located in Florida City warehouse section near Florida City campground off of Krome. Great food great prices. BEST to carry out. Jerked chicken and pork good Curry goat and pork excellent. Chinese carry out on Tuesdays very good !!

Jamaica and Chinese food and I've yet to find something I don't like. We ge take out from here often and it doesn't disappoint

Visited this restaurant today and hands down the BEST FOOD I have EVER HAD. The curry chicken and rice and peas were delicious.. I even called the owner to thank him for the wonderful food..

Fast service, I called on my way there and when I got there it was ready. Had the jerk chicken and it was quite the lunch. Decent portion and some nice plantains after we're the Icing to the cake. Good spot. Locations kinda tricky

Decent restaurant. However the workers are not very welcoming, they just stare at you and expect you greet them first. The jerk chicken was a joke, wasn't spicy at all, very dry with no gravey. The Oxtail is amazing...the best. The rice and peas need some work. Location is okay, the sign is very small especially for new costomers. If this restaurant had better people skills they will be very successful.

The serving size of the jerk chicken platter is enormous! I couldn't even finish my meal. If you want a home cooked meal this is the place to go. Just make sure you ask for very light on the dressing on the salad.

If you are looking for some excellent home-cooked (understand slowly simmered) style dishes... look no further! I have been working in this area for the past couple of weeks and I have come to this place at least a half dozen times already. I've had most everything on the menu: curry goat, curry chicken, jerk chicken and soup specials... all excellent but the akee & saltfish (salt cod), Jamaica's national dish, and their signature oxtail stew knock it out of the ballpark! I didn't think that I cared about oxtail that much until I had it here. The brown gravy that it is slow-cooked in is amazingly rich in flavor. Get it over rice and peas (rice and kidney beans) and thank me later! Don't let this place's out-of-the-way location stop you from getting the best food in the area. Even though I used my GPS, I drove right by it the first time. Oh, and if you want some beef patties, you better get there early (preferably before noon)... they go quickly. Big portions and friendly service. This place is a gem!

I personally like this place, but my Friends were not crazy about it. I ordered curry shrimp and it was oily, but tasty. I also had like this ginger candy and that was delicious. I appreciate that someone Jamaican was making Jamaican food.

We ordered ox tail large for $14. It came with lots of rice but small portion of oxrail. Ox tail is tasty. We tried to order fish dishes but it would take 30 minutes.

Food was very good! We ordered Ox tails, curry chicken and curry goat. They came with dumpling, super yummy fried plantain and cabbage salad. Huge portions and the price was right. Really satisfied with the meals.

I go here at least once a weak and I have almost had everything on the menu and I have to say they have never disappointed. the food I very large for the price I espcially love the jerk chicken and the curry goat.

Delicious--ackee and saltfish are my staple. A little greasy but delicious nonetheless!!

Usually I love love love West Indian dishes, but I had I went to this place 3 times. First time was OK, second time (my birthday) Food was fresh and good... Now I know for a fact I won't be going back. If you order after 4 pm you get the bottom of the pot. Rice was dry and had a "rice burn" so u actually felt it scrape going down, the plate was SLOPPY, everything was soaked with the gravy/juices. Plate full of bones. There was No meat, only bone and slimy fatty part of the meat hanging. I was SO disgusted when I opened my plate. I'm used to eating that bomb ass Guyanese/Trini dishes in Brooklyn, NYC, but down here, especially a place called top taste? Lawd have mercy, what u tink u feeding a dog ? All this big set of money people paying $10 a plate of bones n dry rice and dry cole slaw with ranch dressing? C'mon people get it together, if don't have fresh food, just close your doors, rather than give a box of bones and dry burn rice to get a review like this. I don't play about my money or my food and tonight I got jipped on both. Damn shame. Won't be back - Will NOT recommend, Will spread the word and in search of a Real West Indian restaurant that knows that Presentation, Freshness and Flavor is what makes Caribbean cuisine SO great! And let me finish with this..I know when places first open things are great and presentation and everything is important to get a stream of customers, but when people get that popularity, it's a damn shame that the pride they put in to get the business dwindles, to where a review like this has to be put up. I'm always down to support my people but damn, when u hand me a box of bones n burn rice, I felt like u think us customers are shit, The food I got I would have given my dog minus the burn rice, he could have them bones with the slimy fat. DON'T WAVE THE FLAG, WHEN YOU NOT SHOWING JAMAICAN PRIDE! I would have felt shit faced if I brought a friend or colleague there. Rather find out by myself then be embarrassed to serve colleagues a box of bones. Oh lord.. I am so ashamed of this place.
