Disappointing food truck. Waited 30 minutes to order. Food given to me with no utensils and missing plantains. Jerk chicken sauce was ok but it was just grilled chicken with sauce poured in top, poor flavor infusion into the meat. Would not eat this again

I ordered a jerk chicken meal with max & cheese, cabbage and plantain. I did not enjoy the jerk chicken nor did I enjoy the Mac & cheese. The jerk chicken was not what I am used to when ordering Jamaican food. There was no kick, nor spice. It was very bland. I am quite disappointed as I spent $50 on this meal. The mac & cheese was cheesy but bland. No seasoning whatsoever. Unfortunately, the best thing was the side of plantain I ordered. I'm upset that I spent this much on lunch. I ordered this on 39th street and Broadway.

First time try, @ Halloween night at the Bronx zoo.The rice was hard & flavorless.The brown stew chicken was extremely spicy.the shrimp was a fair 7/10.The man who was working the register was cool, until he didn’t know how to take a joke and got sensitive behind it. & decided too get serious. (have some more humor man, it will bring you a long way)! I was only joking with my joke?

Tasty but too pricey, small portions, inconsistent orders & missing ingredients. Staff isn’t friendly at all ?
Good j*** chicken and steamed vegetables! Friendly and speedy service!
i never leave terrible reviews but the oxtail dinner plate was absolutely HORRIBLE!i’ve never had such disgusting meat. so salty and filled with fat, as though they didn’t clean the meat. and even worse it tasted like they spilled beer on the meat…i went back and explained and the chef offered some spicy j*** chicken (i’ve never had j*** chicken smothered in hot sauce) i tried that then and there and that was even worse - bland and nasty texture. the rice and peas lack color - flavorless. and the cabbage tasted like nothing
Was in the city during lunch looking for somewhere to eat and came across this truck. I tried the lobster mac. It was delicious. The lobster was a fried lobster tail on a bed of macaroni pie. I enjoyed it. Pro tip add a bit of j*** sauce on it. Thank me later ☺️

I have ordered the entree of Simon and it was not fully cooked in the middle and I said to the waitress that it wasn't done and I didn't like it she asked me what was wrong and I told her and when she turned her back and she said Here We Go Again I guess she said I have to talk to the manager and when he came it was like he had an attitude also and I explained to him about the entree and he says well I'll take it back this time and the attitude was really stinky I was recommended to go to this restaurant for my birthday first time going and the service there was not what I expected I will not be going there again

I always look for the Jamaican trucks in the city. First time eating at this one and they have large portions of food and variety aswell! Not to mention the food was well made and fresh.
I ordered the jerk chicken w/rice and veggies. Dynamite!!! But while waiting, tasted the Mac and cheese, and oxtail…!!! My gosh!!!! He offered to add a little extra MnC, but i said no, so I have another excuse to go back. Seriously delicious!! Sorry, about the pic. All of a sudden, it was gone.
Very unprofessional! Do not use for catering! They may not even show up!!!! And they will never answer calls and block you!!!!
Love the food. I got lucky they were at the bronx night market today.
