"Some friends recommended this place, so a friend and I ate here for the first time, today. I ordered the J Chicken plate and it tasted delicious!! The owner is a very nice lady. I'll be going again soon!!"
While traveling through Texas we stopped by this restaurant to grab dinner. We were pleasantly surprised to find this delicious hole in a wall in Waco serving Caribbean cuisine. We ordered the Coco bread, Jamaican beef patty, oxtails, curry goat, the sweet potato cake for dessert and the pineapple ginger drink. My kids scarfed the food down so fast as if I hadn?t fed them in a week! It was that good. Our order taker/waiter was super kind and very attentive, stopping by frequently to check on us and make sure that we were really enjoying our food. When he saw how much we were enjoying our food he was excited for us to try other things and gave us a cup of their sorrel drink. Everything we ate...
On my way to Dallas passing through Waco and I wanted something different.I pulled up and no one was there except me and i was scared that the food was not going to be great. My first time there and the cashier server was very friendly and nice. I never had oxtails so I ordered oxtail with rice and peas and it was so delicious for 17.99! I wanted more! My food was served to me within 5-10 minutes and the cashier server checked on me a couple times to make sure I was enjoying my food and he was so pleasant. I will most definitely come back and I hope that my next experience eating at a jamaican restaurant is just as great!
This was quite the find. Our party (including children) tried the patties, j chicken, curry goat, Rasta pasta, and the rum and raisin bread pudding. It all tasted like really good home-cooked food, with fast service and excellent, attentive customer service. Would recommend and hope to return on a future visit to Waco!Dietary restrictions: Tons of gluten free options
Stumbled in to this restaurant on the recommendation of our VRBO host. We were greeted by the owner and immediately felt genuinely welcome. She explained the menu and guided us with recommendations. Everything was superb! The j chicken was moist and oh so favorable! The carrot cake was next level! Thank you for a great meal! We will definitely return!

This place came recommended by family, and it did not disappoint. It is off the beaten path but well worth the effort. We split ox tails, curry chicken and Jerk Shrimp. The fried plantains and Caribbean rice were awesome too! So nice to have authentic Caribbean food in central Texas.
Tru Jamaican was amazing! The food was great, staff friendly, and atmosphere was light and casual. We were in town for a quick pick up and mapped food places. A little off the main road, but definitely worth it! Thank y?all, we will tell everyone and be back!
My meal and experience was amazing. I don’t eat Jamaican food a lot so they answered all my questions and helped me order. I had to curry shrimp which was so good I got another order to go for my husband. Highly recommend the food and the people!
Absolutely great! Unique taste mixing Jamaican with Texas barbecue. Every part of the meal was fantastic. Even if you aren't familiar with Jamaican Caribbean food, this is a great option. They are currently only on Baylor campus in a food truck.

So good! My husband had the J Chicken and I tried the Curried vegetables and both were delicious. And the fried plantains were amazing! Very friendly service and laid back atmosphere. Will definitely be back next time we pass through Waco!
