Jerk chicken with plantains, Jamaican rice and beans, and fried dough
Annette T.

Wow. So much food and absolutely delicious jerk chicken. For sides, we got Jamaican rice and beans, plantains, and the Jamaican special or something which were fried dough. The jerk chicken was fall-off-the-bone and the sauce wasn't too salty. Soo much food and so good! Would come back for the jerk chicken and to try other sides too.

Curry chicken
Vivian C.

What a great place! Decided to try it out at the spur of the moment and I'm glad we did! The guy working there was super patient at explaining everything and was very friendly. The jerk chicken was the absolute best the meat just melts off and the taste was nothing I've ever tried before. Amazing place and would love to come back and try the ox tail

Jerk Chicken Plate with plantains and rice and beans
Kristie C.

This is a new favorite lunch spot. I love Jamaican food, and unfortunately, there are not many options in Denver for when the cravings come. So how excited was I when I learned Just Kool, which used to be a food truck in Aurora, now has a brick-and-mortar spot in Denver! They're a Black/family-run business located in a food hall that has some other great options available, including Sonder for coffee. Great space for a casual lunch and large groups with plenty of seating inside and outside. I met the husband and he was nice as he answered my questions about the menu. I was impressed with the quality of the food here. Fresh, comforting, flavorful. I couldn't decide which I liked better, the curry chicken or the jerk chicken. Both are beautifully cooked, tender, and perfectly seasoned, not too salty or heavy. The rice and beans aren't mushy! The plantains and corn on the cob are scrumptious. And the beef patty is not too doughy or too rich. They have an assortment of Jamaican drinks that i can't wait to try--I had the sorrel ginger drink recently and it was tasty and refreshing. Parking-wise, there's a lot in the back and parking along the street.

Jerk Pork Plate (small)
Rachel H.

The pork is incredibly tender. Phenomenal... This was the small.. the big... whoa. Parking in the side of the road. Cute table and chairs set up under a tree. Jamaican music on the speaker I'm pretty sure he faked his Jamaican accent The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5... I wanted a little more flavor/spice. I'm very happy and will make this on the rotation.

The food wasn't bad. Could have been more flavorful. The person taking our order could have at least spoke.

Reservations: none, no dine-in. Carry-out only…read more Location: in an industrial lot, can be easy to miss if you're not looking closely, but otherwise easy to find. Parking: easy, in a lot with many spaces. Food: Empanadas - shell was crispy and well-cooked. The shredded chicken filling was good, nothing special but still tasty. Would try a different filling next time. Overall rating 3/5. Cuban sandwich - the bread was thicker and more "sub"-like than many cubanos I have had in the past. Also had garlic cloves in it which was a nice surprise (I love garlic). Came with rice and beans. Pretty good, would get again. Overall rating 4/5. Ropa vieja - comes with beans and rice. Quite salty on its own, but balances out nicely when eaten with rice. Would get again. Overall rating 4/5. Guava & cheese empanada dessert - same size as the appetizer empanada. Delicious! The cream cheese goes very well with the guava and is well-balanced. Would get again. Overall rating 5/5.

Efffing Delicious!!! My goodness, what a treat! We were hungrily surveying the post-9pm Broomfield…read moreculinary offerings with palpable dismay, when we found Taino's and placed an order. Such a good call! In between savoring bites of our mofongo with chicken, veggie empanadas, and maduros, we literally could not stop saying how amazing everything was! We'll be back!

Additionally, our server, Ryan C. went above and beyond and sat down with us to accomodate dietary restrictions for my brother in law and was very thorough with what he could offer for alternative food options. His quality of service was exceptional and was greatly appreciated. Sitting on the patio was a vibe as well and is an excellent place to grab drinks. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great spot in Five Points.

After reading other reviews and checking out photos beforehand, I knew the Colorado lamb was a must-order. It's not something I usually go for, but it ended up being my favorite dish of the night. Absolutely worth the hype. We also ordered the birria short rib and hickory smoked picanha, and both were solid choices. The shrimp and corn grits were amazing, and I really loved the aged cheddar mac and cheese. Other dishes like the chickpea croquettes and the chili relleno were also pretty good and rounded out the meal nicely. The wait staff was fantastic. Super friendly, attentive, and made the whole experience even better. The restaurant itself has a cool, lively vibe. The only minor downside was that the outdoor heaters were a bit too hot, but that's a very small nitpick. Overall, an easy 5 out of 5 stars. Great food, great service, and a place I'd happily come back to.
