Jamaican Jerk Stop - McAllen

J chicken and ox tail are to die for! The rice is also delicious and their sauce ?

If you want legit J chicken then this is place to get that fix. I order out here weekly and its always on point. Everything on the menu is whipped up fresh, if you are ever in the mood for something different in mcallen then give Jamaican j stop a shot, I reccomend it?

I love this place. The curry chicken, wings and rice peas are great. Make sure to add a patty!

Really liked the food. I probably would have never tried this place based on its location and my lack of familiarity with Jamaican food. But recently was on a cruise that stopped in Jamaica and thought the food was pretty good. So we have this place a try and I personally really liked it. My wife thought it was spicy, but she thinks anything more than salt and pepper is spicy so don't take her word for it unless you are the same way. I tried the curry chicken and honestly it was delicious. It was a little spicy and the spice did build as I ate, but it wasn't over the top. My wife had the j chicken and I thought it was delicious. The rice and beans were good. Even the steamed vegetables were good. We ordered a side of plantains and they were perfectly caramelized. You can dine in, but mostly people carry out, which is what I will probably do next time. So try something new and give this place a shot.

This was my first visit, and I'm really happy to see that the Valley finally has more options beyond just Mexican cuisine. I love Mexican food, but it's nice to have some variety! I thoroughly enjoyed the oxtails dish; it was definitely worth the price. I noticed someone criticized the portion for having 80% rice, but I actually appreciate that they don’t skimp on the rice and beans. Just save some for later instead of complaining! Lol. I’ll definitely be back next week to try the jerk chicken.
