I must say this was my first time. I read the reviews and thought maybe I could try it. I am so disappointed that I spent nearly $40 and it is just not palatable. I ordered oxtail, rice and peas and jerk chicken. Jerk chicken isn’t done on the grill with the actual jerk sauce (I should have quit when I heard this). The oxtail is hard and the rice omg tasted like white rice and peas, where is the coconut milk???? When I say I have tasted both and couldn’t continue, I mean it. As Jamaican, who is looking to capture bits of home, this is a poor representation.

This Jamaican food truck is the real deal! If you haven’t tried this place, you are really missing out! BEST Jamaican food around! I get the medium stew chicken with rice & beans & cabbage. The chicken has a nice kick to it and is falling off the bone. Paired with the rice, just balances out the flavors perfectly! The beef and chicken pattys are also a favorite of mine! BEST AROUND! I’ve been coming here for 5 years and the food has always remained consistent. Tastes the same way it did when I first tried it! The portions are very nice sized and you definitely get your moneys worth! They offer other things on the menu including Jamaican beef and chicken pattys, curry chicken, jerk chicken and oxtail! And other items as well! The owner is SO NICE and you can tell they put love into their cooking! It shows, as no other place around even comes close to this when it comes to flavor and authenticity! Customer for life!

I found this truck back in 2021 and it’s been one of my favorites since. I love taking a hike in East Rock Park and then finishing with a large portion of jerk chicken with rice, beans and cabbage. I get it with sauce on the chicken and oxtail gravy on the rice, everything is super flavorful and fragrant. Sanny is one of the nicest people and it’s part of the reason I love supporting this truck. The sauce she makes is amazing and it’s so good when you mix the spicy and sweet sauces together. The portions are huge, one large portion is about three meals for me. A real gem in CT!

Bad experience. I went at 12noon. The guy who served me originally gave me a burnt beef pattie. I had to go back and ask him to give me a second one. Food did not look or taste fresh at all. Surprised because I have had food from them before. Was already home so I was not going all the way back to return it.

5/5 Stars – The Best Oxtail Experience!
Cravings satisfied

I recently had the pleasure of indulging in the most tender, flavorful, and succulent oxtail dish that has left me craving for more.
Generous serving, ideal for sharing (but you won’t want to!)
Price is reasonable, considering the quality and quantity.

If you’re an oxtail aficionado or just looking to try something new, this food truck is an absolute must try!
Don’t be shy to ask for extra gravy – you’ll want it!
Will I return?Absolutely.

I live not far from this place and highly recommend to anyone that loves good Caribbean food to give them a visit. The staff is awesome and the food truck is very clean which is extremely important to me. Currently located on State Street in New Haven. Worth the trip.
