I love Jamaican food and I have been there on more than one occasion. The first time I visited, I had the curry goat which was excellent! :) Their curry goat was fresh, extremely tender, well seasoned full of flavor with a nice side of delicious cabbage and rices & peas. Another time I went there, I had curry goat again and it wasn't as fresh possibly sitting out for a really long time, only got a small portion, super oily, and didn't taste good. Another time I had their oxtails which was very good but not the best Jamaican oxtails I have had. I got very little portion of small oxtails (couple scoops full) and it cost me about $20 but I also ordered it with a side of cabbage and rice & peas. I have gone to some better Jamaican spots in nearby Chicago and Milwaukee and they give a-lot more better larger portion size of larger oxtails that tasted better with the sides also for about the same price. Oxtails are very expensive in general to purchase but I felt like I didn't really get much for the price in comparison to some other a Jamaican restaurants I have been to recently. However, their Jamaican cabbage is amazing absolutely delicious!!! Originally, I gave Taste of Jamaica five stars because when I first visited, their food was fresh, excellent, and the portion sizes were pretty good but I have gone more than once since then, and they are not always consistent in the quality & execution of their food so I had to change my review. There isn't a-lot of competition for Jamaican cuisine in Madison, WI so I feel if there was, they would step up their game a lot more. They are still absolutely a-lot better than David's Jamaican cuisine in Madison. I hope they continue to deliver better consistency with their food!!!

I was not anticipating the girth of these suckers! Really delicious. The jerk chicken fell off the bone -- meat seemed to be smoked and was flavorful and moist and the jerk seasoning was to die for. Ribs were also fall off the bone tender. The sauce was sweeter than I'm used to (I'm used to south carolina style ribs, not Jamaican) but outstanding. My husband's jerk shrimp was great, and the fried plantains, too. Will definitely be going back and I'm encouraging everyone else I know to go too! I love supporting local, black-owned businesses, and I hope they make it out through the rough times so that they can go back to the Friday night buffet and I can try even more of their dishes.

Puerto Rican cuisine isn't in my usual food palate but it will be now! El Wiscorican usually operates through a food truck but they also have family meals that are announced early in the week and then you can pick up either Thursday/Friday at FEED (Food Enterprise & Economic Development) between 4:30-6:30. What's really great is that that you can pick half of full orders. The half was more than plenty for me (and a few days extra). You call them when you are in the parking lot at FEED and they bring the the food to you car. The week I ordered, I decided to get the Skirt steak, Arroz griego (bacon n beer rice), yuca mofongo, Chimichurri, house made bread (pan sobao) full 45$/half $25. Let me tell you, I was totally blown away! The arroz griego was super light and fluffy in texture, a bright orange color, and packed with flavor (without being salty). I was surprised how large the pan was and impressed how fluffy the texture was. It had a bit fo sweetness to it which was amazing. The yuca are fried upon arrival so when you get them they are nice and crispy on the outside with a soft inside. The spicy aioli that accompanies them have the perfect kick of spice! On the main, the steak was sliced into bit-size strips and was so tender and juicy. The chimichurri sauce was delightful and just drizzled oh so nicely over the steak. My last shoutout that you do not want to skip on is the pastries! The guava cheese pastry was incredible! Outside was nice and flakey but the guava jam shined through so well and couple perfect with the cheese filling. Best and most convenient food to eat while driving (yes, I frequently eat dessert first). Don't walk, RUN to try El Wiscorican, because it really is just that good!

The beans and rice were undercooked, dry and not very well flavored. That was a surprise to me. The side of cabbage was a bit oily and also not very well flavored. Additionally, even though the printed menu has quite a few things on it, call ahead, because when we went, there was only chicken and pork on the menu. I will say that the portions are very generous, and so even one dish is enough for two people. I'm willing to go back again, because maybe it was just off the day that I visited.

The owner, Quinta, explained the dishes, showed us the private dining room and even made us a dish to sample. Right then and there we decided we wanted a group experience. Because we wanted to try everything, we requested a family-style dinner of jerk chicken, jerk pork, rice bowl (curry rice, black beans, mango salsa), steamed cabbage, fried plantains, rice and peas, fufu and egusi stew, with pineapple and coconut cakes and ice cream for dessert. We were not disappointed! Everything is home made with fresh ingredients and love. A big thank you to Quinta and her daughters for a very special and memorable night. Queens Caribbean Kitchen is primarily take-out but does have a few window seats if you want to eat in. I would urge you to gather your friends and fill up the private dining room and have the same great experience we had. Laughter and food... you can't ask for more.
