The island bowl

I stopped by the food truck today for a quick lunch while running errands and I'm happy I did! My smoothie bowl came out very fast & was the perfect light lunch to keep my day flowing! The girl at the window was sweet and so fast I didn't have to wait more than 5 minutes for my bowl. Absolutely will be back.

Custom açaí bowl

Run, don't walk, to island açaí!!! This is a little food truck that travels around and has divine bowls. The açaí is smooth and not icy. They have a ton of fresh toppings to choose from with sauces (honey, caramel, chocolate etc). I added granola for extra crunch and it was absolutely magical. There's 3 sizes to fit your appetite or budget. I got the bowl, biggest size. I went to Galveston Island Brewery on a Tuesday and they currently have $2 off the bowl if you get a tiki wheat beer. The truck travels, so def follow them on Facebook to ensure you know where they are! The service is great! The guys that work the truck are friendly and helpful. They offer suggestions, are patient while you review the menu, and have speedy service.

Snack w all fixings yummy goodness. Must go try owner friendly and sample

So happy to have found this place after a late night at Kemah we were hungry and not much was open…read moreso late. This place is in the area where the locals live. Almost across from the cemetery, kinda cool. It is a very small outdoor space with a food truck and some picnic tables. The entire space is covered in potted trees and plants of all kinds. Hence the jungle name. There were locals and regulars seated in one table and gave a sense of comfort, kind of like in the movies when the lost tourist goes to a little food shack and has the best times with the locals. Any who there is what appears to be a nightclub next door inside a building that looks like a house with plenty bouncers. They sell canned sodas and their menu is pretty standard. I always go for regular tacos so I can really get a sense of what the rest of the menu tastes like. These were real tasting street tacos. Tiny double stacked corn tortillas to hold the meat that is generously placed in the taco. I ordered barbacoa. I gotta say although the portion of the meats are generous I feel like they don't mix the meat with cachete which is crucial to get a soft meat that melts in your mouth. This meat looked soft but took me quite an uncomfortable amount of time to chew. Kind of like one of my kids who spits out his meat if it is not chewable. The taste was authentic and the salsas a bit on the watery side but its actually spicy as it should be. I did talk to the owner about his setup with all the greenery and he was super nice and was very welcoming. If you do end up here just remember this is a tropical area with mosquitos that thrive here so come prepared. They did have a mosquito repellent available to use which came inn very handy because the mosquitos were definitely feasting. Maybe a fan directed at the tables would help keep the mosquitos away.

I ate at Taqueria El Jardin Tropical last night..I ordered, pastor, steak fajita, and barbocoa…read moretacos. The tacos were just okay to me. The flavors didn't stand out. The Pastor doesn't come with pineapple, and the flavors were robust, but the meat was okay. The steak fajita taco was just ok flavor wise, a bit overcooked. The flavor was okay. The barbocoa was tender and the flavors were good, nothing crazy to drive out of your way for, however, but I would get these again. I know they have a lot of great reviews. However, this was just okay. The customer service was good and they were very friendly and accommodating.
