Betta Taste Caribbean Kitchen: Reviews & Ratings
My friend brought me some Jerk Chicken with Dark rice and sweet plantains. Unreal! So much taste, chicken was fresh, the plantains were delicious. I had gotten the hot sauce out of the fridge and didn't even need to use it, the spices were on point. I going to take our for tomorrow also I live 35 minutes away but this is worth the trip... Excellent!!!
The order to get is my usual a pound of jerk chicken extra sauce pause pound of ox tails with a large order of curry shrimp extra gravy on the rice and u can’t forget the sorrel and ginger juice ginger beer and a champagne kola on the side
This was a beautiful, authentic jamaican experience and I will definitely be going back when I'm able to (I live in Maine). The owner who's name is Roy was very nice and so professional. The food was excellent!! to say the least and well proportioned. I started eating before taking the pics sorry, I couldn't resist. I recommend this restaurant with no hesitation. You should definitely try it sometime.
First off it's a lil ways away from my job, but decided to try it. One of the best jerk spots I've had around here !! Even had a nice assortment of DG drinks. Had the jerk platter with a DG Jamaican Kola. I Will be returning soon.... they even asked if i wanted gray on the rice ...
I ordered the 10 lunch special with sweet chili chicken, dirty rice, and cabbage. It was absolutely delish. Everything tasted very fresh and homemade. Very much a great deal! I’m very pleased and my stomache is happy!
Ordered a roti this time - very generously portioned. The man that took my order was patient and kind . The service is good in there. My meal was good.
I was more than pleased with my breakfast. I ordered ackee and saltfish, with fried dumpling and cornmeal porridge. I'm a big foodie who travels a lot for work so I've tried Jamaican food in a number of states and trust me I have to big up this place. So far it is the best; everything was perfect. Whenever I'm back in the area I'll definitely be ordering from here again.
I am a long time customer of Mac's. The food is delicious and I always use their food as a standard if I try food from other places. That said, this weekend I needed rice and peas on short notice for my daughter's Sweet 16 and Mac's came through. The food was ready on time although I was late picking it up. I was running around and got caught up in traffic and other last minute preparations but when I got to Mac's I was greeted with smiles and best wishes. When I placed my order I was apologetic for the last minute request but was told "we are here to serve you and we will be happy to help you in any way".. That meant everything to me. I will definitely continue to be a patron P. S. The rice and peas were a hit. Everyone loved it and all evening commented "this is some good rice" lol Thank you Mac's.
