 The food at The real "Taste of Jamaica" should be a part of the food pyramid. To be eaten at a minimum of once a day!!!!!!!!
Taste of Jamaica  5.0  out of 5 stars

 It is the number one Jamaican restaurant in the District of Columbia. My most favored dishes were the Jerked chix, oxtails stew and the salmon. The seasonings used were properly dispersed throughout. Dr. G. Hill
