I love haitian patties especially beef. I ordered 3 the server tells me they are $8 a piece. Red flag I ignored, so I ordered two. When I say this is the worse pattie I have ever encountered in my life. For $8 you get this huge patty that barely has any beef. It wasn't flavorful and some of the meat was still raw. It was so bad I didn't even take it back. I just threw it away and took my L on the $16. The menu says the fried turkey and rice is $16 it was $24. It was delicious though! Stay far away from the patties. Bill was $43 for a plate of rice, fried turkey, and 2 patties.

Funny how the name of the restaurant is Flavor Jamaica but nothing is flavorful or reminds me of Jamaica Pimento, Scallion, Thyme, Garlic, Onion, Scotch bonnet go a long way Oh yea and easy on the browning for the oxtail 5.5/10 patty was decent LIVELY UP THE PLACE

I tried this place because Matt Shearer was raving about the rice and beans. The mini pastelitos sampler came with chicken, beef and cheese with a dipping sauce. The chicken felt pretty dry and not much flavor. My favorite is the cheese and the beef which were both satisfying. Ordered the pechuga a la parrilla with rice and beans. The char grilled chicken is well season and the overall portion is great. The rice and beans unfortunately tasted just average, I don't agree with Matt Shearer. Overall a good experience for the value.

Been coming here for years. (Thanks Clo!) I went with my Mom. We had white rice, beans, and sweet plantains to share. My Mom ordered the Camarofongo. It was a mofongo with shrimp in a savory yellowish sauce and broccoli. I had the Bistec Salteado which is steak that has been cut into thin strips and sautéed in a light vinegar with onions and peppers. The steak was very tender. My Mom left with a little cake to take home for dessert. If you're in Lynn, I recommend a visit.

It would have been better they called to order something else/refund the difference of the Lonche de Cerdo Guisado/Sauteed Pork Lunch I resorted to instead. Nonetheless, the rice was flavorful but pork was a little dry. The salad that she was hesitant about giving was very refreshing given how well seasoned everything else is. Beans were yummy and the Yaroa had significantly cooled down since that was prepared much earlier. The "secret" sauce is a drizzle of ketchup and mayonnaise crossed over. Overall, food was good so I would be interested in coming again to try more items from their menu.

The meat smelled rotten, not just "off," but genuinely spoiled. I called the next day to give feedback, and instead of listening or apologizing, the woman I spoke with was extremely defensive and tried to blame me. She said the food went bad because I "took too long to pick it up." That explanation makes absolutely no sense. I was born in Haiti, I grew up around freshly cooked Caribbean food, and I have never seen properly made food spoil in an hour and a half just from sitting. To make matters worse, I ordered a pâté, and the gentleman literally microwaved it and handed it back to me. It was not fresh at all. What's really disappointing is that I used to order from here and had better experiences in the past, but clearly the quality has gone downhill. Between spoiled food, reheated items, and defensive customer service, I would not recommend this place to anyone. Food safety should never be this questionable.
