Savor the Flava!
I was glad to see a new food truck swing by our office today, although we get a variety often times we have a few regulars that come weekly and God love em but I need something new at times.
I do love to indulge in some Caribbean food at times and my coworker and I quickly went on a Scooby-doo mission to get more info. Based upon what we found on their social media page the menu is small but people enjoy what they get.
I initially hoped for the jerk chicken wrap but upon ordering was told they didn't have any on the truck this time but had a curry wrap. I instead opted for the jerk chicken dinner with came with a few hearty pieces of jerk chicken on the bone, beans and rice and steamed cabbage. A hearty meal for a good price.
Opening our boxes we were enriched in the aroma of the food, warm, earthy smells, nothing overpowering or off putting. The dinner comes with a side of sauce, we took a medium heat and I dont know it they make it but oh man it was good. The sauce had a sweetness and just enough heat too it that it complimented everything well.
The jerk chicken wasn't spicy, it was herbed and a little smokey (maybe) oh so good. I know one fear, especially from growing up was getting jerked meat that was too spicy hot to enjoy but this chicken was just right. The steamed cabbage was perfect, not over cooked and mushy, this cabbage still had some of that green color and texture. Sitting atop the rice that soaked in the juices, everything was well seasoned and went well together.
I'd love to give it a 4 star but the menu is small, really only curry chicken and jerk chicken. They sell sides of beans and rice, cabbage, plantains and have fried dough they call festival which they were out of this day as well. If the wraps and curry chicken is just as good I can see an upgrade to a 5 star but would love to see another option or a special. read more
