Food is Always Cooked fresh and Amazing . Worth every penny.

Based on other reviews, I wanted to give myself some time to make a fair assessment considering that it is a food truck. Keep in mind that I love food trucks, and have a friend who owns one.Parking: Parking was terrible. I was boxed in without much room to get in or out. I was the only customer so I presume it belonged to the owners if the food truck, or the business next door. What little parking you have should be for your customers.Cleanliness: I noticed that the last inspection sticker on the truck expired 06/2021 (or maybe 07/2021). The lady who was preparing the food and serving as the cashier had beyond filthy hands, especially her nails. To her slight defense, she was handling and cutting the chicken however, she should invest in gloves or wash her hands more frequently. Perhaps having someone help her at the window to reduce cross contamination when she has to then touch her phone for you to pay.The food: The chicken had good flavor and heat, but not the best Jamaican food that I have ever had. The chicken did not seem fresh, as some parts had that dry overcooked look. It was heavily chopped up, unlike some of the other reviewers pics. This did not disguise the fact that the meat seemed old. I too found lots of tiny bones throughout, which was a concern since my young son was sharing my food with me. I had to filter thorough each bite. The chicken juice also tasted heavily of Worcestershire sauce. I did not like it at all. The macaroni did taste like boxed macaroni with some spices added. The cabbage was very good.The overall experience would never send me back.

Some of the worse food I had in a while. The mac and cheese was disgusting. The rice and beans were burnt. Would not recommend.

Food was so good!!!! Best jerk I’ve had in a long time!!!!

I ordered jerk chicken and ribs with rice and peas and cabbage! Food was fresh and had just the right amount of spice. I always get my jerk and BBQ sauce mixed together on the side? Definitely check them out if you want a taste of Jamaica! They even offer a Specials Menu for the Homeless!!! Talk about giving back to the community!

- food not so very pleasing! Rice seem to be over cooked.. macaroni look like/ taste like boxed macaroni and cold… ribs hell of a lot of fat but the bbq on me was good and they were cooked all the way!!!!

What I’m bout to tell you , will save your life around mid evening and you want something full filling. Ma got the jerk and the barbecue to send your taste buds to the Caribbean. Spicy to those whose pallet is weak. Great choices, fresh food when you see smoke. Close at 11pm Wednesday-Sunday!! They do have another one on Tharpe but Pensacola with her collard greens, mmmmmmmm be so Good!!!!!! Pssssttt….. It’s worth it

Absolutely delicious.. highly recommend.. they give great portions and it tastes spectacular.. every time I come through Tallahassee this will be my go to place..

fresh hot food. Everything is Everything on the menu. and well seasoned

I stopped by after smelling the food when I rode by going home and it was worth the stop. I had the jerk wings, Mac n cheese, and cabbage.....hands down the best Jamaican food I've had in Tallahassee!!!! Just mad they're not open everyday but I will be stopping on a weekly basis for sure.
