Our team really enjoyed the jerk chicken, grilled chicken, and jerk mango wings. The coconut rice, plantains, and mango salad sides were awesome as well. Thanks!

Hire this truck for your event! I hired them with about two weeks notice for my 50th birthday party, and I’m so glad I did! Donnell was fantastic to work with in terms of planning, and the food was *all* amazing—my guests could not stop raving. They worked with me to do small portions of more items so that we could have a variety… I chose jerk chicken, salmon, wings, and chicken tenders as entrees, and sides included Rasta Pasta, rice and peas, cabbage, and Yummy Mac. Everything about the entire experience was highly organized and super friendly, including impeccable service on the night of the event! Yummy food, and fantastic friendly service-you can’t go wrong! 😃

Literally everyone at the wedding was telling me how wonderful the food was. I was so hungry by the time I got to eat and I was so thankful y’all offered vegan options. I hoovered my burger. So delicious!

Would have been a 5 star but they got there exactly at the time the luncheon was scheduled to start - making me a little nervous! Aside from that the food and service were both excellent!

Jiniah and her team were amazing - very friendly and efficient with our guests. Food was great and there was a wide variety - the only reason I’m not giving them 5 stars is that it is advertised as serving seasoned waffle fries and they were just plain fries - still tasty but not what we expected.

Yes they need to be sure that food is ready when you get a text that it is ready. I waited almost 20 min after getting got my order id ready text. Also recommend they call your order number vs your name
