So I've been wanting to try the oh so popular Datz Deli for the longest after seeing them featured…read moreon a show on tv a couple years ago.. I finally was able to try them recently! I was not disappointed and didn't expect to be, as this is a "Guyanese Deli!" We don't play in the kitchen. I'm just saying!! I ordered THE JERK,(jerk chicken) w. Mac n cheese, chicken patty and coco bread. I was absolutely blown away by the incredible flavors. The jerk chicken was perfectly spiced, and succulent, while the mac n cheese was divinely cheesy (just how I like it) all nestled in the most delicious, slightly sweet and fluffy cocoa bread, topped with a rich, tasty gravy / sauce..a harmonious blend that was extremely gratifying to my taste buds!! This place truly delivers authentic Top Notch Guyanese / Caribbean fusion cuisine with a hint of soul food. Their reputation for the Oxtail / Jerk Chicken and patties with cocoa bread is well-deserved!! Datz's dishes are creative, bursting with flavor, and clearly made with passion, offering a genuine taste of the Caribbean. I'm so happy I finally got to try it and can't wait to try the OXTAIL DAT MAC!!

Food is always consistently good. The workers are also always very polite and friendly.read more

Meatballs, Subway Cars, and Innuendos…read more Passing by this food cart you wonder what it is. The menu is listed in the style of the new train line maps you see on the more "modern" trains. Upon further inspection your notice the interesting names of items on the menu. Half the menu is subway jargon like "The Local" and "The Express," but the other half relies on the mind of the individual. While I find it funny others may find "Bowl O' Balls" and "Pair of Balls" a little unsavory, but that is only my opinion. It is an interesting way to grab people's attention. The food is average at Mtblls. The meatballs on the whole are good, but in my opinion the chicken far exceeds the beef in flavor. Maybe it was the combination of sauce and cheese that made a difference. Of that I am uncertain. The sauces are standard, nothing extraordinary. The meatballs are a bit bland and could use a little more spices, but they are moist which is a big plus since they are made in advance. Most of the cheese comes from a bottle or shaker. You don't see the cheese being put on the meatballs, but you can tell because of the flavor and smell that comes off the cheese. Not to mention on my last visit there was virtually no cheese on the meatballs. I recommend you go with the fresh (I forget if it was parmesan or ricotta) cheese, your meal will be more enjoyable. Typically there is little or no line at this cart, so getting your food is a breeze. The service is polite, solid and quick. Since the majority (maybe all) of the food is already prepared you won't have to wait more than 2-3 minutes to receive your food. Overall 3.25 Stars Finding good meatballs in midtown is hard because they tend to be on the expensive side. Mtblls isn't much different from most Italian restaurants in term of price. The overall flavor is good, but it could be so much more. The chicken meatballs are amazing, but the beef is a little meh. I highly recommend trying the meatballs by themselves. If you enjoy meatballs then this is a cart to stop by and try. The lines are very short for this cart.

Mtblls serves up hefty meatballs on sandwiches or on a plate to the Midtown food cart scene. One…read moresimply lines up, chooses the type of meatball, the sauce, the cheese, and the medium (one on a slider? a pair in a bowl? a bowl of three? The options are easy to mix and match and the serving size hefty enough for lunch. I had the "Pair o Balls" beef meatballs with Romesco (spicy marinara) and a ricotta cheese for $7. The beef balls are a good 2 inches in diameter, moist, and dense, so having two of these suckers plus the bread is a perfect small lunch (paired with a smoothie from the fresh fruit cart next door). The beef balls themselves lack flavor. They're very uninspiring and bland, and would be most improved by some herbs or onions mixed into the beef. However, once you add the romesco sauce and ricotta, the dish works better together. The meal also comes with a 4 inch piece of rosemary foccacia, which is stellar. I would love if they wrapped the foccacia up on the side, outside the meatball box. Mine was very soggy when I got to my desk. I'd also love a little bit more sauce to add the oopmh to the meatballs. The two lovely people in the cart served me up right away, were patient as I decided what to order, and not pushy at all. Is it an amazing lunch? No. But its the right calorie count, amount of protein, and price point for when I don't want to overeat, so there is a good chance I'll be back.

There was a standby line that was very long. This experience is showing how prices were in the 1930s and how workers went from getting paid daily to bi-weekly. The waitstaff sang and spoke to customers and kept them entertained. I got a cherry coke with poached Eggs, bacon, toast, and home fries. My guest got the burger and fries.

Secondly, they decorated a red velvet cake that happened to be available and covered it with a bunch of whipped cream, but I asked for cream cheese icing. Third, it was delivered 4 and 1/2 hours late. The birthday person turned 90 and by the time the cake arrived all guest had left the venue. We asked for a refund, and we were given the owners phone number (Richard), but when we called, he was rude dismissive, disrespectful, unprofessional, told me not to call his phone, and hung up the phone in mid conversation. I decided to go and speak to him in person When I got there, there were not customers, and of course they said he (Richard) just left, how convenient? I asked to speak with a manager, I explained to the manager what took place, he then proceeded to explain why he would not give me the refund. He kept negating the fact that the cake was unacceptable until I showed him a picture of the cake delivered. He finally agreed to refund half of the money. NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!

I adore halal food. It's especially something that's close to my heart during Ramadan. And nothing…read moresatisfies my craving for halal chicken and rice, after 14 hours of not eating, like quality halal cart grub. Living in Sheepshead Bay at the moment, there aren't many options to choose from... at all. I *could* drive all the way to Bay Ridge for the halal carts on 86th St. and 5th Ave. But that's a 15 min drive I'd rather not take - especially when I'm home in my jammies. But I do live in Sheepshead Bay, and when my ingenious boyfriend brought up the fact that he saw a halal cart on Sheepshead Bay Rd, I was *driven*, at 11pm, to go try some. Well, here's the verdict... What the heck just happened?! FIRST of all, the servings are pathetic. For $5, I got HALF the portions of the halal cart food I get in the city for $6! And in a lower-middle class neighborhood like Sheepshead Bay, that most definitely shouldn't be the case. SECOND, the hot sauce isn't hot at all. Halal carts are known for their awesome hot sauce, and this guy just seems like he poured some Franks Red Hot over my order of chicken and rice. THIRD, the white sauce - which I normally like a LOT of - is completely flavorless! This is, by far, the worst halal food from a halal cart that I've ever had. Not only would I never venture back here, but I advise anyone looking for late-night halal, to venture as far away from Sheepshead Bay as you can. There are no decent halal trucks here. Especially not XPL. So here I sit, in my bedroom in Sheepshead Bay, completely starving, because the 7 spoonfuls of tasteless halal food from this cart, couldn't have hit the spot LESS. I only give it 2 stars because it hasn't *yet* given me food poisoning - if that ends up happening, I'll lower my rating to 1 star. So disappointed.

obviously I'm scoring on the scale here, the food cart scale. Here's my biased grading system:…read more one star: major stomach cramps, vomiting and/or diarrhea two stars: unidentifiable meat pieces, overcooked/dry rice, mild upset stomach three stars: everything went ok, nothing to write home about four star: well balanced meats, fresh veggies, flavorful rice, good proprietor attitude five stars: must be pretty incredible This cart has two options - chicken and lamb. That is it. Oh, there are colorful photos of falafels, etc. Don't be fooled - they don't make them. But as far as chicken and lamb go - they are excellent. I am not sure how Lisa, the previous reviewer, feels cheated with a huge helping of rice, veggies and chicken for $5 but this lower-middle class Sheepshead Bay resident feels the price is fair for well made, fresh, quality food. I don't have it for a week - I crave it. There are two other things going fo this cart - 1. it's open 24 hours a day (guys working in shifts). 2. great attitude - 'a little white sauce, lots of red sauce and just a splash of green sauce, and no peppers in the veggies and just a couple of pieces of chicken and the rest is lamb" "No problem" Respectful, hard-working people. South Brooklyn rules !

The lady andan inside were busily making the tacos and handling orders. When I stepped up to order, she was helpful with questions and i went with an order of the birria tacos (it came with free consomme). The orders didn't take too long to prepare, so within 5-10 min, I was on my way to sample the fare. I opened the box to three, double wrapped tacos with lemons and thick sliced radishes. There was a healthy serving of beef, a little cheese melted inside each one, with a sprinkling red onions and cilantro. The consomme was a little thinner that I thought, but it was okay. I bit into some strange pieces of fat, but the beef was tender. I saved the rest for dinner and the reheated well in the toaster oven. I tossed a handful of shredded cabbage, avocado, the orange salsa and dipped away. Not bad for Crown Heights taco truck.
