Reviews for J's Jamaican Flava in Colorado Springs, CO
First Time dining here.Place is super clean Which I love. I ordered the oxtails with rice and beans and cabbage. Flavor is on... point portion is accurate! I?m happy I found them I?ll be back Read more
Fast, affordable, delicious. Lunch special is a bargain. Had the curry chicken lunch special which came with a canned drink then... ordered a regular oxtail plate. $25 for both. Went to some other Jamaican restaurant downtown. $30 for a single oxtail platewhich didn't taste that amazing and it took an hour for it to be ready even though the place was already open for like 2-3hours. Highly recommend this J's in the Colorado Springs area. Read more
I tried the oxtail combo with Jamaican rice and plantains. Also got a sorel ginger drink. Paid about $20 pretip. I liked that... the oxtail was soft, marinated well, but there was lots of bone shards in the stew. I thought portion size was okay for oxtail.Curry goat also had lots of bone shards. The fried plantains were okay. Read more
Food is very BLAN, no flavor at all. I ordered the lunch special look at the picture attached. 3 little bitty chicken wings for... $10 , you get more rice then anything ! Such a rip off Read more
Pretty good and authentic Jamaican food. The guys are really nice and kind. The beef patty was good and actually a little spicy,... we enjoyed it. The curry chicken and the jerk chicken were also good, and the portion was nice and big. I didn't really like theplantain, it felt really starchy and sour..like if it wasn't ripe enough. But everything else was pretty good! We also got aslice of banana bread and it was perfect. We will go back for sure! I recommend it! Read more
Truly the best food I've had in a long time. I've been here in Colorado for 5 months and no restaurant has topped this one. I... recommend the Jerk chicken and curry chicken. Thankful to have this delicious restaurant close by. Keep it up man ???? Read more
I would come here pretty often and make it my business to get some Curry Goat but I stopped for a while(few years). Came back... and ordered Curry Goat with rice and Cabbage. My Fiance' ordered the same thing but with Oxtails. The prices have gone up alittle and the portion sizes have gone down(as far as what you get for meat from what I remember) but that's what happens wheninflation hits and smaller restaurants have to compensate so I understand. Anyway, the meat was flavorful and tender. The ricewas good but the cabbage was really bland. The bread you see pictured is pretty dense and fresh when you order. I use it tosoak up the gravy that comes with the meat. Overall, we enjoyed our food, but it'll be a while before we come back. It's justthe price and we don't always crave this particular cuisine like that. If you are looking for a pretty good jamaican spot on thesouth end of the springs or north of Fountain then this is it. Take Care. Read more
Yummy! ???? This is honestly the only word to use. This food is amazing. I was a little nervous to try it. The platter looked... different than the photos on the website. But it is amazing. Well worth the drive and money. Tasty and unique. Every bite isbetter than the last one. Read more
