Jamaican Express — Restaurant in Orlando

I finally discovered the hidden gem that is Jamaican Express in Orlando, and I'm almost reluctant to share this secret! From the moment you walk in, the aromatic blend of authentic Jamaican spices welcomes you, setting the perfect tone for the exceptional meal to come.

The brown stew chicken is absolutely incredible - tender, perfectly seasoned with a rich sauce that pairs beautifully with the fresh steamed cabbage and pumpkin sides. The jerk chicken deserves special mention too - it delivers that perfect balance of heat and flavor that's often attempted but rarely achieved in other places.

If you're feeling adventurous, the oxtail is fall-off-the-bone tender and worth every penny, while the curry goat transported me straight to the Caribbean with its authentic flavors and perfect spice blend.

What makes Jamaican Express truly special is the friendly, attentive service. The owner takes genuine pride in sharing these authentic dishes and helping newcomers navigate the menu. The casual atmosphere makes it perfect for both a quick lunch or a relaxed dinner.

With generous portions at reasonable prices ($10-30 range), wheelchair accessibility, and both dine-in and takeout options, Jamaican Express has quickly become my go-to spot for comfort food that never disappoints. Just be warned - once you try it, you'll be dreaming about your next...

My girlfriend and I were exploring Orlando and drove past this place and it caught her eye. We were hungry at the moment and we just said ok let’s try this place. We went in and saw the beautiful desserts and chatted with Mally, sorry if I spelled his name wrong. He was very friendly and kind and hooked us up with incredible bowls.

He suggested we get the carrot cake when we come back which we definitely will because the food was amazing! 10/10, VERY reasonable prices, very tasty, filling, and very kind. The shop was very clean. The ambience is unmatched to any Jamaican shop I’ve ever been to. The desserts look like they deserve their own shop. We can tell they take great pride in everything that they do. We definitely will stop by again anytime we are in the Orlando area. This is...

Jamaican Express: The Reason I Can’t Fit in My Jeans Anymore

Let me tell you something—I came in a regular woman and left a changed woman… and possibly a few pounds heavier. Blame it on Ripley for recommending this place, but honestly, I’d rather blame Q and his ridiculously good food.

The jerk chicken? So good I considered writing it a love letter. The oxtails? I would fight a grown man for the last bite. The plantains? Sweet, crispy, and probably made by angels. And let’s not even talk about the rice and peas because I was straight-up shoveling it into my mouth like I hadn’t eaten in weeks.

I told myself I’d save some for later. I lied. The food was gone before I even pulled out of the parking lot. Would I come back? Absolutely. Am I ashamed of how much I ate? Not even a little.

Final verdict: 10/10. Would risk my...
