Their A/C was broke when I went so they had portable units onsite. Which leaked water and no one cleaned up so it was a hazards. It's a nice large location with plenty of parking and it was pretty empty to my surprise. We almost left to eat somewhere else as our waitress left to the parking to have a conversation before taking our order and no one tended to us for 20 minutes. It was very confusing. I ordered the fried chicken based in their recommended, yams and greens. The greens were a little salty and bitter the yams and chicken were good. I wish i would have tried the jerk chicken pasta i saw someone order. My mom ordered the catfish with greens and yams and they brought her out the wrong sides. We advised them and it was quickly corrected.

The table didn't get our food at close to the same time, an appetizer never came, I had to chase the server down for my friend's water as he was a few minutes late. I also had to chase her down for the habanero and vegetables that were part of my order. My friend didn't get his goat with his plate. I want to believe it was a bad night and I hope that I'm wrong. The flavors were great but experience was off. Place is dark and has a mom & pop feel. I'll probably try them out again, but I will call before about the ox tail. Server was friendly, but didn't execute well at all. A customer was on hold and she forgot about them. I had to stop the off the hook sound on the forgotten caller.

The jerk kitchen was a little dry, but the lunch special was very reasonably priced at $8.99. The plantain, rice, and cabbage were also tasty. Service was fine and the interior was spacious.

Excellent authentic food…read more The jerk chicken was really tasty and superb. It comes with steamed veggies: cabbage, carrots, onions. It also came with rice which was good. I also got a Jamaican pop--Cola Champagne. Really good stuff. You just have to ignore food truck prices and bite the bullet to bite the food. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

I've seen this trucked posted up at The Pit for a while, and I've heard good things, so I went full send and tried the oxtails. They came with plantains, rice and peas, and steamed veggies. The oxtails were perfectly cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender. Great flavor! Delicious plantains, rice, and veggies. What a stacked meal. I grabbed the bag and was surprised by how heavy it was. Definitely enough for 2. This was next level from what I've had in the past, and I look forward to visiting again and trying more.

We were lucky to try multiple dishes during a festival from their food truck and everything was all so tasty, especially the tender meats, seasoned perfectly! The plantains were sweet, hot and hit the spot! Our group of friends shared the chicken jerk tacos and stew which was sensational! The service was also great considering they were very busy! While I was waiting in line I was able to watch the amazing process of putting everything together, rice, etc. This is a wonderful family owned business that creates the best Jamaican food around! I've spent time in the Caribbean and I really appreciate the fact we have a place for such delicious food in Tucson! lol

I've you never had Jamaican food, fix that immediately and run to D's Island Grill. - Oxtail Fries: excellent in every sense - Ackee with Salt Fish & Dumplings: a little greasy but so flavorful and cooked to perfection - Curry Goat: fall off the bone perfection - Coco Bread: coconut flavor was a bit more sublime than expected so if you're not a coconut fan, still give this one a try. It's the lightest, fluffiest bread you'll ever taste - Festivals: fried to perfection, not overly sweet and so soo sooo satisfying Service was quick and precise and our to-go box was packed carefully. Cannot wait to be in the area again so we can keep making our way through the menu. Will definitely be back and will bring friends who love ridiculously tasty food!

He left halfway through meal and a younger gentleman was a pleasure and professional, fun to speak with as well. The vibe here is just wonderful. The food you ask? Absolutely the best! We all had a bite of each other's meals. One person had taste of Havana plate and that chicken was so delicious. She ended up taking half home as there was plenty! One had sea bass and rice and said it was very good and she enjoyed the mild spices. I had the Camerones Enhilados shrimp plate with a small and fresh salad and sticky white rice- my favorite dish! The shrimp was very spicy and loved it!! My mother had dessert and she was kind to let us try a piece- heaven on a plate:) if you cannot tell already- highly recommend!!!!

The fried chicken pieces and yucca fries were a perfect introduction: simple, well-executed, and full of flavor. If this is a glimpse of what they serve at the restaurant, I'll be planning a visit soon. I believe the actual restaurant will have a lot more charm than their food truck parked in the street.

I can't stop thinking about it and definitely want more.

One of my friends tweeted that it was "Truck Exhaust + Good Eats". That kind of sums it up. That being said there were also huge lines, I waited for about an hour for MaFooCo and my friend waited an hour and a half for Planet of the Crepes. The food that was well worth the wait, but like a boy scout you should be prepared. Take heed if you plan on going to an event like this, get here when it starts to avoid the long lines or divide and conquer sending members of your group to different trucks and sample together. Our group was able to hit 5 different hot-spot trucks using the divide and conquer approach. Seating is limited so if you have some folding chairs they will come in handy. There is a huge value in this event for those of us who don't work near a food truck. It's a casual and inexpensive way to get to try foods off the beaten path. I will definitely be at the next Round-up!

The seafood paella is a true highlight--rich, aromatic, and packed with perfectly cooked seafood that brings depth and authenticity to every bite. It's the kind of dish that feels both comforting and elevated at the same time. The cauliflower croquetas are just as impressive--crispy on the outside, creamy on the inside, and full of flavor. Even if you're not usually drawn to cauliflower, this dish easily wins you over. Dessert was unforgettable. The churro y plato was absolutely amazing, with warm, crispy churros paired with indulgent dips that made it hard to stop at just one bite. Service was stellar throughout the entire meal--attentive, friendly, and perfectly paced, which really elevated the overall experience. One small drawback was the seating. With a reservation, it would have been great to have the option to select outdoor seating ahead of time. The patio atmosphere looked inviting, and having that choice during booking would really enhance the overall experience. Overall, Contigo Latin Kitchen stands out for its flavorful dishes, excellent service, and thoughtful preparation--definitely a spot worth returning to.
