I had the Southwest Sun Rice Bowl with Coconut Chipotle Sauce and 50/50 Black Bean Sweet Potato Hash and Coconut Rum Tofu as the protein. Delicious! I like that they make a point to be accommodating of different diets, they have both meat and vegetarian/vegan options and are allergy friendly (nut-free, egg-free, and shellfish free!). I love fusion food and they did a great job combining both Caribbean and Southwestern flavors.Vegetarian options: Coconut rum tofu & black bean sweet potato hash as vegetarian protein options, and will also let you mix half & half!Dietary restrictions: Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, nut-free, shelfish-free, allergen friendly options.

Often out of ingredients- would be nice if they told you this before you pay and are served a meal missing half the ingredients. Delicious tofu. Awful rice.

Waited 30 min for 2 vegan donuts at $2.50 / piece. These were them. Yup, they tasted just as you imagined.

Can I do 6 stars? I would if I could, even though I only had two items off the menu. Calypso was recommended to me by Katie at the beer/wine bar. I had eyed it on my way in to the food truck court, but with so many choices, I wasn't sure where to go. The stop at the food truck court was a total impulse move. I had planned to pop over to a different local restaurant, but when I saw this, it screamed "Food Adventure!" I did a U-turn and found a parking spot. That, by itself, wasn't easy so you get the idea of the popularity of this place! Anyway...I digress. I ended up ordering the "kid size" Katie bowl, which, I guess is a custom offering. Crispy Tofu, cabbage, rice...it's got so much going on, I can't say enough good stuff. But, first, the Southwest Egg Rolls called to me. So, yes, I went there. OMG..so good. Crispy, not oily at all, so flavorful, and the dipping sauce that went with it was perfect. Totally SWOON-WORTHY meal. The portion size was just perfect for me, although, had I ordered the "grown up" size, I probably would have eaten it, it was SOOO good. The good news is: I found another outrageous food spot. The bad news...I don't know if I'll ever get past Calypso to try any of the other offerings.

Holy hell, yum. We had the fry bread taco and the j*** chicken bowl. SO tasty. We will be back.

Generous portions and tasty flavors. I got the coconut tofu on rice with chipotle sauce and found myself in coconut heaven. My partner got the j*** chicken on calypso bread and said it was delicious. Thanks to their mix-and-match menu, we'll definitely be back for more.

Our family had vegan potato hash bowls and everyone was happy with the tasty food. We would like to try the vegan doughnuts next time. Truly recommend!

Fantastic meal. A combo of black bean, corn, sweet potato, a touch of habenero, cojita and pineapple on top of a sweet flatbread.

Really great tofu, rice was soft and flavorful, and the chipotle coconut sauce was excellent. Would definitely come back again.

The vegan donuts are so good! They’re available on the weekends.
