This restaurant runs on Caribbean time.. which means-- late lol. We got there at 12:45pm, door…read morelocked, but a young woman opened up the door at 1:05pm. She said they're supposed to open at noon. They didn't have much food prepared and only had 3 options available (oxtail, curry chicken, & brown stew chicken). I will say, although none of the employees seemed pressed to move quicker despite the being so behind-- they were all very friendly. We ordered oxtail & curry chicken, but was given brown stew chicken instead of curry. I didn't bother letting the employee know since we had already been waiting for a while & needed to leave. The oxtail & chicken were super tender, which was great, but lacked spice and flavor. The rice was superrrrrrr sweet! I'm used to rice cooked in coconut milk-- but this rice seemed boiled in sweetened coconut cream-- it was like dessert honestly. To end on a good note-- they had no veggie Jamaican patties so we bought the beef and cheese one-- despite not having much filling, it was delicious and the crust was perfect! I'd go back just for the patties.

The plantains weren't the best I've ever had but I still enjoyed them. The order was ready pretty quickly. I would not go there to eat in the restaurant--wasn't the greatest vibe and the person behind the counter didn't seem the nicest. It's definitely more of a take out joint.

My food arrived hot, fresh, and delicious. The portion size was large enough for me to eat for a little over 2 meals. The food was seasoned just right without the over-seasoning I've experienced at other Caribbean style restaurants. I did not visit the physical location so I can't speak to the ambience but I will say that I throughly enjoyed my meal and would recommend Flavors of Jamaica without hesitation.

Craving carribean oxtails and read the reviews on yelp…read more This is located at Kissimmee on Osceola pkwy area in a shopping plaza. Its kind of a challenge getting parking here I guess cause its a weekend and its a busy day to go. Upon entering the music of reggae / carribean music is playing its looked clean. Few tables and bar seating available. There is a section to point and see the array of foods they prepared but this day alot of the foods were covered in lids. I guess its a way to keep foods warm while sitting on the hot steam plate. The oxtail large plate was $25 with 2 sides plus choice of rice. Its a popular dish because when the lady tried to scoop oxtails all she had left in the pan was gravy. She went to the back and got more oxtails. She gave about 8 pcs of mixed sized oxtails. mostly large / medium sizes. She was "Careful" adding gravy and the oxtails as if she was counting how many drips of gravy and how many oxtails she was going to place in the plate - Also she was counting how many sweet plantains she was serving as a side. She gave me about 4-5 pcs of plantains. Seeing this I told her I want the cabbage in a separate container (Since she was careful with giving out the portions) - She then said its going to be $5 for the cabbage since its on a separate container. I was fine with it - even with the cabbage she was careful filling the container to the rim. This is why I decreased a star - Cabbage is cheap and plantains is cheap - Why so careful with these sides? I am paying a $25 plate - It should show that is how much food I am paying for. I am not sure if she was the owner (Light skinned older lady) - If she is then she should not be that cheap with portions especially on a high priced tag plate on her menu. They had array of fresh made juices I am unsure if they make them or they have a vendor - But they offered "Peanut Punch". Arizona cans (Tall) are $1 - I think those are the cheapest drink you can get in there. I saw someone just went in there and bout a few cans of arizona cans only. Jamaican patties are $3 - they offer curry and jerk chicken, mild, spicy. They had sold out of the mild patty - So I opted for the curry chicken patty. I asked about "Peanut porridge" that I read on yelp that was available only on weekends - But the lady asked me if I meant "peanut punch".. I was not sure but she said the Peanut Punch was $5. I asked for the frozen bottle since I had no plans on drinking the drink until a few days later. Let's talk about the food - Oxtails - The meats were fall off the bone and the gravy was thick and savory - however I think the taste - I like Golden crust gravy better as in taste. Golden crust gravy had more umami but this gravy is not bad - It was just kind of thick for my liking. The oxtails were def delicious though. Tender meat and like I said fall off the bone. Rice and Peas - This rice had a subtle coconut milk flavor in the rice itself - little sprinkles of the peas (beans) not much - It was ok rice .. It was dry for my liking - The oxtail gravy helped moistened the rice. Sweet Plantains - These were delicious. Sliced slanted and had the good amount of chew and sweetness. Just like the rice - Plantains are plantains they are either soggy or firm or just the right bite. Cabbage - These were ok - they were slightly bitter and overcooked. Somewhat too soft soggy cabbage. It had hints of sliced carrots - It needed more broth and black pepper taste to them. Curry chicken patty - These were delicious. The patty dough was delicious. The curry chicken was shredded chicken in curry and the hint of spice kicks in towards the bottom of the patty. No wonder they sell alot of the patties - They are delicious. I have not tried the peanut punch as yet - But I will update review once I do taste the drink.

We saw the sign on the door saying masks required BUT we didn't have any on us because the mask mandate was lifted a month ago and no where else "requires" a mask. We also observed a gentleman walk out (may may work there) walk out without a mask. When I walked in, I got the coldest look from the woman sitting behind the counter. I asked her if masks were mandatory because of the sign on the door and she said, "it's what the sign says". Because we weren't dining in, I was just going to order it to go anyway. Because of her sour attitude, I took my business elsewhere. I will not be returning here EVER and I wouldn't recommend anyone who expects decent customer service to come here either. We ended up taking our hard earned money and business to Flavors of Jamaica on Osceola Parkway. The vibe and customer service was way better. I hope the older woman sees this and takes heed that you will lose business if you lack customer service.

From the service, to the cleanliness and of course the food: flavors, portions, everything hits the right spot. The place is quite brightly lit with a lot of tropical houseplants as part of the decor. There are three sections to the restaurant: A cafeteria, an indoor dining area and an outdoor dining area. The indoor dining area entirely consists of private booths whereas the outdoor section has tables and chairs. The service is warm, friendly, quick and most importantly efficient. The portions served are big. This was our third visit to Maracas in the past 4 months and they have been very consistent with their service, food quality as well as quantity. As far as the food is concerned, it will remind one of a hispanic home. The flavors are perfectly balanced, the meats are cooked tender, the beans are rich yet delicious, the rice is buttery, the yucas perfectly seasoned with mojo and the tostones are crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside: just like you'd expect your Noche Buena meal to taste like at your abuela's dinner table. On this last visit, we had our usual tostones for appetizers, for the entrées we had the pernil (roast pork) with a side of rice, beans and maduros (yes, they offer three sides with all entrées), we also had the rabo (oxtail curry) with rice, beans and yuca con mojo. Everything was delicious and as always we couldn't finish our meal because of the large portions they serve and had to request take away containers. If you're looking for finger-licking good Dominican food (also for the Cubans looking for food similar to theirs), look no further. Maracas is the place to go. There's a reason we keep returning to this place.

With that said I hate to say that this place is not the one I would pick to go and "enjoy" some Peruvian food. I ordered the sampler and the Causa the sampler was nice it did not wow me but it was nice. The shrimp is for certain frozen and not made fresh. Now the Causa is something that I was very disappointed in. To me this is a dish that always brought me back to Peru. Unfortunately this Causa did not do it justice. I would give anything chance unless it's just always blant. When it came to service I see people love the service and this is something I looked forward to but I would like to say the waitress was having a bad day. She was rushed and not the friendliest. I love tipping and I pride my self on making people feel good but the obligated 22% was crazy. To sum it up I have a 3 because the sampler made it ok and it was a friends birthday. I am not sure if I'll be back and if I am I'll be very cautious. Can't fully recommend but I would say try it for yourself and hopefully you have a better experience m.

I know their outward appearance might scare off…read moresome people but to the foodies out there, or those looking for good Spanish food, you got to try it! Their service is great and fast, but more importantly their food is mouth watering good. It always leaves me with a craving to come back and a full stomach ready to tackle the rest of my workday. My favorites have consisted of a Cuban sandwich which is full of pork and sauce and toasted nicely. It also does not fall apart when eating which is a plus when you are trying to stay looking presentable. Their pork is amazingly juicy and just falls apart in your mouth and has been worth every stain I have accidentally caused on my dress shirts. The white rice is fluffy and simple and good but their yellow rice is much better with many items. Their chicharron de cerdo is crispy and breaks easy and it's never been hard or chewy. Their ropa vieja is also delicious and I can't help but devour the entire plate. The rice and beans paired real good with this! My favorite sides have been the avocado salad and their macaroni salad! Both very light and balanced well with light citrus flavors in the avocado salad. I'll keep coming back here because the food honestly reminds me of so many great dishes my family use to make at home and after eating at so many places around Orlando I had yet to find a better place to get Spanish food like this!

The buffet looked like it had been waiting since last Christmas. Food was colder than my ex's heart, flies were holding hands around the trays like it was their family reunion, and the tables were so sticky I thought I had accidentally walked into a tar pit exhibit. But wait--it gets better. A few hours later, my poor little daughter got sick. And not just a tummy ache--oh no. We're talking explosive diarrhea and puking like she was auditioning for a firehose commercial. That's when I realized: there's a reason this place only has two reviews. So take my advice: unless you want your "all-you-can-eat" experience to turn into an "all-night bathroom marathon," stay far, far away. 1/5 - only because Yelp won't let me go negative.
