This was my second time visiting Jax Hot Chicken, and somehow it was even better than the first…read more Consistency matters, and they absolutely delivered. The chicken was crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and the spice level was exactly where it needed to be -- flavorful heat without being overwhelming. You can tell they care about balancing seasoning, not just making things "hot for the sake of hot." Everything tasted fresh, and the portions were solid. It's one of those spots where you leave full and already thinking about what you're ordering next time. If you're into real spice (not just mild-with-attitude), this is your place. Definitely one of the standout hot chicken spots in Jacksonville.

And the mozzarella brick is my favorite, chilis has nothing on JAX! The portion sizes are great. This is the perfect place to stop for lunch because they are quick and efficient. I came all the way from Georgia to check them out and atleast once a week I contemplate on making that drive. You have to check this place out.

The reason why they get a high rating is for the food. Wowza! I wanted chicken tenders, but they…read morewere out. So, I ordered a pork basket, it comes with fries. Then I ordered a veggie platter(3 veggies for $7.00), and a side of fried corn. The veggies were for me and the pork chop basket for my husband. I tried the pork chop and it was delicious(fried), and the fries were good and hot. My veggies were fantastic-cabbage, greens, Lima beans, fried corn and cornbread. All was very fresh and delicious. The minus star reason:the young man taking my order, did not speak loud and clear. It was very hard to hear him. He never smiled either. But, the lady who brought my food out to me was cute, smiling and friendly towards me. I look forward to trying other meal here at this food truck. PS:they were not wearing masks, but neither was I. I had to take mine off after wearing mine for 8 hours at work. I did not have a problem with this, but some people might. Just giving you the "heads-up".

I've been wanting to check out Island Spice Grill since seeing it on Big Rich's IG page. It looked…read moreso good! I stopped in with a friend before seeing a movie at Regency. I wanted the jerk chicken, but since it was late in the day, they ran out. I ordered the jerk pork served with rice and peas and a small salad. I also ordered two beef patties to take home for later. Plus, fresh mango juice. The pork was delicious! Falling apart and packed with so much flavor. The rice and peas were good as well. The food was hot and fresh, even though they were closing soon. And the mango juice hit the spot on a hot summer day. I was so happy to see shaded picnic tables. And even a nice tree swing painted with colors of the Jamaican flag. I ordered my food from the truck and my drink from the tiki hut. My food was $30, and the drink was $8. A little pricey. I would go back again, but on the weekend and earlier in the day, so I can get there before the chicken sells out;)

The staff and environment were very pleasant and I was promptly seated. They have indoor and…read moreoutdoor seating. I prefer the Birria quesadilla over the Birria tacos. The quesadilla was definitely juicer standing alone. The tacos I felt needed the consommé. The elote was tasty, it's a pretty simple dish, hard to mess up. The chips were fresh, The Guac and Chorizo were satisfactory ; however for my salsa, I prefer a bit more spice and chunkier peices. Overall, the food was very palatable and clearly seasoned with fresh ingredients. Would definitely recommend again

I met Mr. Mohammed and he took my order and cooked it fresh while I waited. I sat at round table with an umbrella and some chairs to sit and relax while he fixed my two meals. I ordered the lamb gyro for myself and a Philly cheesesteak for Ernie. I was hungry, so I stayed and ate some of my food and then too the rest home for later. The gyro was huge! You get an order of shoestring fries and a cold drink with your orders. He did not have any zero drinks, so I had a Diet Pepsi. He has both Coca Cola and Pepsi products. The fries were well seasoned and tasty. When I got hone Ernie enjoyed his Philly cheesesteak/fries. His hours are Monday-Sunday, 11am-11pm. When does he rest?! It was nice talking to Mr. Mohammed. It's a small world! It ends up that we both live in Arlington and only live one block away from each other! I look forward to trying his chicken shawarma and other dishes in the future.

Halal Food in Sunni Islam - Conditions (Translated and Organized)…read more In Sunni Islamic jurisprudence, "halal food" refers to food that is permissible according to the Qur'an and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad . It must meet several conditions related to the nature of the food, its preparation, slaughtering process, and consumption. 1) Lawful Nature of the Food Itself The basic rule is that all foods are permissible unless there is clear evidence of prohibition. Forbidden foods include: * Pork and its derivatives * Carnivorous animals (such as lions, wolves, dogs) * Animals declared impure or harmful * Animals explicitly prohibited in Islamic texts (e.g., domesticated donkeys in most cases) 2) Conditions of Islamic Slaughter (Dhabihah) For meat to be halal, the animal must be slaughtered correctly: * The slaughterer must be a Muslim or, according to many Sunni scholars, from the People of the Book (Ahl al-Kitab) * The name of Allah must be mentioned at the time of slaughter ("Bismillah") * The windpipe, esophagus, and main blood vessels in the neck must be cut * A sharp instrument must be used to minimize suffering * Blood must be fully drained from the body * The animal must be alive before slaughter 3) Purity and Absence of Impurity (Najasa) Food must be free from any religious impurity, such as: * Flowing blood * Urine and excrement * Contamination from impure substances or unclean surfaces * Contact with alcohol if considered ritually impure or prohibited in consumption 4) No Mixing with Haram Ingredients Even if the base food is halal, it becomes haram if mixed with prohibited substances: * Alcohol or intoxicants used as food ingredients * Pork-based gelatin or enzymes * Fats or oils derived from forbidden animals * Any additive derived from impure or prohibited sources 5) Lawful Means of Acquisition and Preparation The food must be obtained through lawful means: * Honest trade and lawful purchase * No theft or usurpation * No use of unlawful wealth such as interest (riba), bribery, or fraud 6) Utensils and Cooking Equipment * Utensils must be clean and free from najasa (impurity) * If previously contaminated, they must be properly purified according to Islamic rules * Utensils of People of the Book are generally permissible if clean 7) Intention and Consumption Ethics * Food should not be used to harm oneself or others * Excessive waste (israf) is prohibited * It must not be used directly for sinful purposes Summary In Sunni Islam, halal food is not only about the type of meat. It is a complete system involving: * lawful ingredients * proper slaughtering * purity from impurities * lawful earning and preparation * ethical consumption

The best tacos in Jacksonville. The hospitality was super nice and the food came out super fast.read more

I have been to Mr. Taco a decent amount of times along the years and in recent times they have lost…read morealot of the edge the used to have. The last three times the food came out cold and extremely salty, no joke it felt like the top of the can of salt fell open on the tacos. The prices are insanely high for Mexican food, and now they don't even stay open that late so it's not even a good spot to go get late night food anymore when everything else is closed even on the weekend. Service is fine but again SLOW. Not much to say about ambiance its next to a liquor store.
