🇯🇲 A taste of Jamaica right here in Waco.

There’s more to Tru Jamaica Restaurant than what’s on the plate. From smoky jerk chicken and curry shrimp to Rasta Pasta, sweet plantains and refreshing Sorrel & Ginger, every dish brings a little piece of the island to East Waco.

And at the heart of it all is the Charles family, whose story is rooted in food, family and creating a place where everyone feels welcome. 💛💚🖤

Take a look inside Tru Jamaica Restaurant and get a taste of what makes this family-owned restaurant so special.

🌴🍽️ From the island to your plate.

At Tru Jamaica Restaurant, authentic Caribbean flavors, family recipes and Jamaican hospitality come together in the heart of East Waco. From smoky jerk chicken and curry shrimp to Rasta Pasta, flaky beef patties and sweet rum raisin bread pudding, there’s plenty to explore on the menu.

But as the Charles family will tell you, Tru Jamaica is about more than the food — it’s about the warmth, the vibes and making everyone who walks through the door feel at home. 🇯🇲❤️

You shouldn’t feel more tired after your lunch break! Fast food might save you a few minutes but it can make you feel sluggish and crash mid-day.

Grab a lunch that tastes good and makes you feel good!

Happy Juneteenth y’all ✊🏾
Juneteenth isn’t just a day to remember, it’s a day to invest. One of the most powerful ways to honor this holiday is by putting your dollars behind Black-owned businesses.

Tru Jamaica is proud to be Black-owned, serving up authentic island flavor while building something that lasts for our community right here in Waco.
