Fredericksburg Location Grand Opening
To hear the story about the grand opening after four months in pretty humbling. It was definitely a trial to get here. Memories as clear as if it took place yesterday. We were preparing for an event. All of the food was prepared and ready to be cooked.

Great food, big portions, and the best service. They didn't have any veggie patties when we arrived to pick up our order so they gave us a different entree totally... read more for free.
9/04/2020During the COVID pandemic, the Taste of Trelawny food truck has come to our neighborhood. The food is amazing as well as the service. The staff is so kind and... read more approachable. We have tried the oxtails, jerk pork, brown stew chicken, and the chickpeas, everything has been delicious! The meals come with rice, cabbage and carrots, and plantains and the servings are HUGE; enough for two meals! You can tell the amount of love they put into their cooking by the depth of flavor in their food. We love Taste of Trelawny and can't wait for them to come back!
8/09/2020It's okay, I'm not really a Jamaican foodie... this was actually my first time having it. It was def full of flavor and smelled delicious, but I'm not a fan... read more of chicken thighs so that kinda threw me for a loop when I went to open my to go tray. My family enjoyed it and loved it, everything came out in a timely manner and the guy that took my order brought it out to my car which was nice and unexpected. Maybe I'll try it again with a open mind.. I would recommend!

So I read the reviews before going. All of them were great and o completely agree. The food was really good. However, there was no gravy on any of the... read more dinners I bought. They also forgot my rum raisin icecream. Other than that it's good.
7/25/2020The meat was good (ox tails, curry goat, jerk chicken, and jerk pork). Everything was well seasoned. Chicken was a bit dry. Jerk pork was very tasty. The red snapper... read more was cooked whole which was good but it wasn't seasoned and still had the scales on it.
The sides were not that great. Plantains were not ripe so when cooked they were not sweet. The rice was over cooked and very sticky. The cabbage, carrots, and peppers were greasy. Beef patties and coco bread were good.
Will give it another go see if was a bad day or if the verdict is how things will always be. If it's the latter I'll make my own sides.
Service was great...if they get the sides right it'll be a hit.

I so wanted to leave more than a three star review. My husband ordered the curry goat and the few bites I had of that were great! However, my curry... read more chickpeas left little to be desired. On top of that they forgot my patties and rum cake 🙁 I am happy to give another shot and to order something different but first impression was less than I expected.
6/16/2020I have been to many Jamaican restaurants throughout the United States and I can honestly say Taste of Trelawny knows what they are doing. The food is amazing and there's... read more no complaints about getting enough food. Customer service goes above and beyond to ensure I am completely satisfied. The cabbage and carrots is a side dish to die for and curry shrimp made to order within 18 minutes. Good job Taste of Trelawny staff!!

Listen. I don't write reviews. But this jerk chicken, rice and peas, stewed cabbage and fried plantain is perfect. First, it comes with three sides, which is amazing, and the... read more jerk chicken falls off the bone and is perfectly spiced. I have only been to Jamaica twice, so others may have a better palate, but this is as good as it gets for me. Plus, the coco bread and beef patty were delivered by doordash hot. Please order and keep them going during the quarantine!
