Food was a nice change from regular midtown lunch options, I really liked the jerked chicken. The…read morerest of the meal it came with was fine, I wish the plantains were better, I love plantains, but these were some of the most underwhelming plantains i've ever had. My biggest issue was just very tentative service. They didn't want to be friendly or fast. It was a weird vibe in that sense. I'm not sure what the goal of being absent and quiet when serving food at a food cart is, but if they were more friendly and playing fun music I'd be more inclined to come back. I might still come back to try the pork!

I've seen the trucks around the city before, and when I came across Jamrock Jerk right around the…read morecorner from where I was working for the day, I figured I'd stop and give it a try. There was a line, so I took that as a good sign. I ordered the jerk chicken along with rice and peas, and it was definitely worth it. It was a great experience overall, and I'll definitely be back

We were absolutely starving, coming out late at night from a concert at Radio City Music Hall, and…read morethis was one of the few spots nearby that was still open. I had heard about The Halal Guys for years but somehow never had the privilege of trying it, mostly because this cart is usually packed. We walked straight up and, to our surprise, it was fairly empty-- clearly our lucky night. We ordered the chicken sandwich with everything and the beef platter with yellow rice, and OMG... it was incredible! These guys are clearly commanding the halal food scene, and after finally trying it, I completely understand the hype. The food was flavorful, satisfying, and exactly what we needed at that moment. There's something about eating a great late-night meal straight from NYC food cart that just hits differently. I will say, my sandwich was VERY spicy. And i love spicy food, but this was another level haha... My entire mouth was on fire. The funny part? I literally could not stop eating it. It was that good. Sometimes the simplest food, at exactly the right time, becomes the most memorable. This was definitely one of those moments. Now I get the hype!

I don't go as much as I use to, as the price has more than doubled since 2017/18. However, that has nothing to do with my rating. My problem is that meats have gone downhill. I used to love gyro meat - never sure what it was exactly lamb or beef - but now it is just gross and greasy. The chicken which used to be excellent is now very dry. The white sauce is great and the rice is fine, but that is it. Not worth getting anymore. Maybe one of their competitors is better, can't really be worse.

Half the spots nearby had already shut down or had lines I wasn't about to stand in, and this truck was right there, lit up and moving fast. Got the two-meat combo over rice. The guys inside don't waste time. I had my plate in a few minutes even with a couple people ahead of me. Chicken and beef both came out hot, and the rice underneath was fresh and fluffy. Ask for the extra spicy red if you want to suffer a little. Portions are big for the price. I walked away full and happy. Fries are the one thing I'd skip (they go soft quick), but with the meat and sauces all over the plate I didn't care. If you're out late and everything else is closed, this is the move. They open at 7:30 and stay open well into the night, which is exactly when you want them. I'll be back the next time I'm wandering around starving after midnight.

This time I got the mixed platter with fries on top with extra white sauce and a side of red sauce. We went right when they opened at 6pm and there was a line forming before they opened.

The services were quick considering the lines can be super long during lunch time in the week. And there are loads of seats to dine here in Vanderbilt market with a busy atmosphere.
