This is genuinely the best food I've had in a long time. I've been in Colorado for five months, and no other restaurant has come close to this one. I highly recommend the jerk chicken and the curry chicken. I'm really grateful to have such a delicious restaurant nearby. Keep up the great work! View all feedback.

Jamaican Delish!. I have never had Jamaican food before, I 'd say most similar was Cuban I tried in Indianapolis at TaTa 's Cafe. We stopped yesterday at Jamaican flavor wanting to try our new restaurant of the week and the outside and location made us hesitant to go in. It is in a dumpier part of town but I usually have good luck with hole in the wall spots so we went in. I ordered the Jerk Chicken, Spicy and my boyfriend had the Goat Curry. I LOOVEEEDD both! The Goat Curry was exceptional and very soft meat, my only issue was with finding bits of bone in your food. I understand it helps with the flavor and authenticity but it got annoying to try to make sure I didn 't swallow any bone. My meal, the Jerk Chicken was SPICY and I frequently eat Spice so for those who can 't handle much, get it mild! It was great though, spicy but still kept all the flavor. The fried plantains and jamaican rice were also great, loved the flavor especially mixing the chicken and sauce into the rice. The staff were all so friendly and it was quite refreshing to hear their accents! Definitely give Jamaican Flavor a try, it was well worth it.

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 the plantain, it felt really starchy and sour..like if it wasn't ripe enough. But everything else was pretty good! We also got a slice of banana bread and it was perfect. We will go back for sure! I recommend it!

Everything for great experience. Here in a mood and was thrilled with my choice. The food is amazing, had no part of the meal I don't enjoy. The service was great and the owner wanted to make my visit as comfortable as possible. A little business that makes everything right so I can come back!

If you're in search of authentic Jamaican flavors, this is the place to visit. My husband tried the Jamaican Ruck Chicken served with Jamaican rice and stir-fried cabbage, while I opted for the Jamaican curry goat. Both dishes were delicious, but be prepared to navigate some bones with the goat; it seems they cook everything together, bones included. We also ordered Johnny cakes, which are a rich, fried sweet bread. They came with a delightful honey sauce and were absolutely delicious!

3 Jamacian Restaurants in Colorado Springs, this is my first one. I recently went to lunch with 4 friends of mine to Jamaican Flavor. We had 2 other options in the city (Island Flavor and Rasta Pasta), but this one was the closest. Getting to the front of the building is a little tricky, with a parking lot that looked like it came straight outta Detroit. The inside is small, and has 5 tables. The tables filled up quickly almost as soon as we sat down. We were a table of 5 white guys, but the rest of the tables filled up with people that appeared to be native from the islands, but mainly military. The menu was small, but out of the 5 of us, we ordered 2 Jerk Chickens (spicy and mild), 2 Curry Goat Plates and 1 Ox Tail plate. The two guys that had the jerk chicken plate enjoyed every bit of it, the one that had ordered the spicy version felt he was in a little over his head. The one that ordered the mild still thought it was spicy. The guy who ordered the ox tail plate seemed to enjoy it, but the meat wrapped around the bone/cartiledge was tough and seemed to have a large amount of gristle around it. I don 't know if this is what ox tail normally is like, but I didn 't care for it. I got the curry goat with my other friend and it came with rice and beans and 5 slices of fried plantains. The plantains were excellent and I wish I could have gotten more. The rice and beans were normal Louisana fare in my opinion, but the curry goat was chunks mixed in with small chunks of yellow potatoes (and of course, curry). The dish was spiced just right, but the goat had plenty of bones in it. My serving had 4 different bones ranging from small to large that were a little annoying to keep finding in my plate. My friend 's goat was as if they shattered a goat leg with a baseball bat and cooked it, because he had over 12 pieces of bone he had to keep picking out of his mouth. The food gets an A for authenticity, but I 'd find a much more flavorful dish at a Greek place if I wanted to try non-everyday ethnic food again. The staff was courteous and very nice and their drink offerings were all very unusual, but very authentic. They have no fountain drink system, FYI, so you get soft drinks in cans and traditional island drinks in bottles. I won 't rate this place like or don 't like though, because two of the guys had been here before and didn 't particularly want to go again, but it was our boss had a craving for jerk chicken and he got his wish. Maybe Rasta Pasta will change my mind on Island Food...
