Reppin'
Amanda G.

This was my first time getting food from here. I have to admit that it was slim pickings, during one of the hottest days of the summer to note. Everyone and their parents must have ditched cooking indoors, because everywhere we went, they were out of everything or there was some insane wait for takeaway. My parents asked me to take a trip and get some food for them. We're Jamaican, so naturally, I asked if they would like some jerk chicken. As we went on the search, several of our regular spots were either our of jerk or the wait was ridiculous. After a quick search, Yelp brgout us to nearby CB's and it was like a Jamaican flag to freedom when we rolled up. They were out of most things but they did have jerk chicken and rice. The ordering system is not the best. They ask your name but then they don't call it out when your food is ready. It's weird. We ordered two large plates of jerk chicken and white rice because I was unsure of the portion size. They're huge. So much so, that we ended up leaving one container for my parents to share and we took the rest home for ourselves. The rice was kind of dry but I'll chalk that up to ordering late. The chicken was nice and smoky. You can taste the grill on it. We got their hot jerk sauce on the side and it is amazing. I don't think I've had anything like it - it's like a jerk BBQ sauce. We asked for hot and it did not disappoint, with just the right amount of heat to be enjoyable, but palatable enough that your tastebuds still work after eating. I want that's sauce in a bottle, no joke. My kiddo loved their space and the huge Jamaican flag mural on the wall adjacent to their landing spot. The food was prepared quickly and they're nearby. I would love to stop by again and see how they fair when they're not out of food items and the food is fresher.

Oxtails and Rice & Peas

We literally went to THREE Jamaican restaurants before we decided to try this food truck. Although we couldn't see the food before ordering like in the other places, this truck had a line of people waiting and to me that's a good sign. There weren't any prices posted but there was a sign of what food they had to offer. We ordered two trays of oxtails with peas & rice. We were disappointed they were out of cabbage and serving some sort of salad and we opted out of that. We also ordered a jerk chicken combo with pea & rice. I was given the option for mild or hot sauce to come on it or on the side. There were a few people in front of us but the line moved quickly. Once we got into the food at home we realized the oxtails were really good and tender! BUT SPICY! The Jerk chicken was like a grilled jerk with no spice to it all but that "hot sauce" is crazy spicy! It wasn't giving jerk vibes to me but the chicken was juicy and the skin had a good texture.

Food was decent but I've had better out in Jamaica, queens. Jerk chicken was moist, but lacked the kick I know it to have. Festival was very dense and peas and rice were rather dry, even with gravy poured over. It's a popular spot, but when you know better you do better. I did appreciate the tables to the side. Very clean and convenient.

Oxtails, white rice, plaintains

I drove past this truck a few weeks ago and smelled such delicious bbq that I knew I had to try them out. Now I'm not much of a jerk chicken lover, however, I do LOVE oxtails so that's what I had. They were delicious! A little spicy but not overly so and very tender (alot of places oxtails are tough). The plaintains were good as well. The only downside is that I asked for extra gravy and received a lot of rice with very little gravy which was disappointing. I did enjoy my meal and I will definitely go back.

My coworker took me here & i must admit i was a bit skeptical because of the location. But it didn't disappoint, the jerk chicken was very tender and tasty.

Ask the Community - CB Jerk Chicken Center

Is it cash only?

No they do take plastic

Do they have any seafood? Or vegetarian?

There was a fish but I forgot which exactly. Might have been cod. As for vegetarian, I suppose you could place an order sans meat.

The ambiance keeps elevating. Tonight, my son and I noticed a huge picture of a pick up truck full…read moreof green plantains. It was huge but beautiful. The lighting is just right. As far as the service, they are all friendly and attentive. We ordered cheeseburger and bacon egg with cheese empanada tacos and the chicharrón de pollo with Moro . The empanada tacos are split down the middle and stuffed with fried cheese, sweet plantain and lettuce topped with special sauces: green and pink. But the BEC one comes with a special sauce that sweet. The highlight of the chicharrón plate is the salad. The dressing is so good and simple. I love it! There's notes of lime and vinegar. It only comes with the plates. Oh, I also tasted the cheeseburger empanada. The thang was filled to the rim and fried to perfection! I also had the new dessert. And I loved it. It was served cold with layers of vanilla cake, cool whip, thinly sliced strawberries and apples. It was fresh and light served in a perfect amount. Oh, there was also a bit of jam in there. It was good! Hands down better than the birthday cake empanada.

I visited on a late Saturday afternoon and almost turned right back around due to the initial…read moresmell, which is reminiscent of a damp mop or clothing that you didn't dry completely, but you put them in the drawer anyway! The lackluster ambiance was also nearly a dealbreaker! Also, the restrooms also clearly needed more attention, a lil dirty and lil smelly. However, I decided to take a chance, and I'm glad I did. The food was surprisingly impressive. My partner loved the chicharrón de pollo with tostones and the chicken empanada taco. I opted for the baked chicken with rice and beans and the pernil empanada taco, both of which were delicious. The empanada tacos were easily the highlight of the meal. We paired everything with passion fruit margaritas that hit the spot. Despite the environment, the service was excellent, our server was attentive and very helpful. I'd come back for those empanada tacos alone if I am in the area.

A coworker kept telling me to try this place, so I finally ordered through Uber Eats and I honestly…read moreregret for waiting this long. I love tacos in general, but this was my first time ever having birria tacos and I get the obsession now. The beef was so soft it basically fell apart, full of flavor, and not greasy at all. And the consomé... It was an experience. Dipping the tacos into it made the whole thing next level. Every bite just kept getting better. This combo has officially become my new comfort food. I could eat this every single day and not get tired of it. It's one of those meals you start thinking about again the second you're done eating. I haven`t tried their other locations yet but I 1,000% recommend this spot.

I used to love this truck. I remember when it first landed in the Bronx. I couldn't even write a…read morereview because it wasn't even on the Yelp page. Only other location trucks. When I first tried the food I was very impressed. The flavors were hitting, and that warm cup of broth with the shredded meat inside was all so yummy. The guys who worked the truck were pleasant as well. I would get extra sauces and onions free with no problem. Now after purchasing many tacos, tostadas, and the consommé, I'm just not crazy about the beef. It's too fatty for me. I think it needs to be trimmed more. It's my preference. I don't like to eat any chunks of fat and lately when I've visited that's what I've been receiving. I don't think I will eat here much anymore, I still will give a thumb up for flavor and customer service, but they should work on the meat. Happy Yelping!
