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! 😃

The food was delicious!! And the quantity was better than I expected so guests were definitely full! I didn't give it 5 stars because even with the guest total known, some people were waiting between 30-50 minutes for the food. Luckily, we had enough time at the event and my friends were easy going about it so it was ok. Also, the main chef had a teenager it seemed helping him and she was very quickly overwhelmed and obviously unhappy so it made for a potentially unpleasant experience but as I said, my dear friends were super understanding and the food tasted GREAT so it didn't become a point of disappointment.

solid pizza! Nothing special, just a good pizza. Ready on time as well, like the online ordering instead of having to wait
