Taste of the Caribbean has found a new home in the heart of downtown Jackson — where The Elite restaurant once stood — and it's brought bold island flavor with it. The Jamaican-focused kitchen is known for its jerk chicken, curry goat, and fried plantains, with each dish built on layers of seasoning and slow-cooked tradition. Rice and peas, steamed cabbage, patties, and other island staples round out a menu that balances heat, sweetness, and spice in ways that feel both familiar and new.The new downtown location steps things up with a full bar, couches, and televisions — a vibe that feels more like a night out while staying rooted in the culture and soul that made this spot a Jackson staple.
