Our final destination was Jamaica, and Caribbean Hot Pot brought the culture to life through bold, authentic Jamaican cuisine. They graciously donated a large pan of jerk chicken, large stew chicken, rice and peas, and perfectly seasoned cabbage--and every dish was prepared with incredible flavor, care, and authenticity. The jerk chicken was smoky and tender, the stew chicken was rich and comforting, and the sides tied everything together beautifully. It was a true celebration of Jamaican culture through food. What truly set this experience apart were the owners, Marquisha and Vaughn Watkis. From day one, when I first spoke with Mrs. Watkis, her response was simple and powerful: "We've got you covered." There was no hesitation, no uncertainty--just immediate support and commitment. And they delivered exactly as promised. Their follow-through, professionalism, and genuine heart for the community were evident in every detail--from clear communication to a seamless pickup and beautifully prepared food. Caribbean Hot Pot didn't just donate a meal; they stood in partnership with our mission and showed up for our children in a meaningful way. Watching our children enjoy authentic Jamaican cuisine as we closed out Winter Camp was incredibly special and impactful. It was the perfect way to end a program centered on culture, connection, and care. If you're looking for authentic Jamaican food, outstanding service, and owners who truly stand by their word, Caribbean Hot Pot is the place. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend them to anyone seeking an exceptional dining experience rooted in community and excellence. By the way, they also have another location just in case you can't get by FM 1960; they are also located at 12005 Veterans Memorial Dr., Ste A., Houston TX. Thank you, Caribbean Hot Pot--and special thanks to Marquisha and Vaughn Watkis--for helping us close our Winter Program with heart, flavor, and integrity. -- Family Alliance Network

You can tell right away it's authentic--everything from the curry chicken to the oxtail and roti is packed with flavor. It's not watered down for the masses, it tastes like somebody in the kitchen actually knows what they're doing. They've got that Trinidad influence too, which I appreciate. You don't see that everywhere. Stuff like doubles and buss up shut on the menu is a big deal if you know what you're looking at. Portions are solid, food comes out fresh, and overall it just hits. It's one of those spots where you keep thinking about the food after you leave. If you want real Caribbean flavor in Houston, this is one of the places you need to try.

It said they have fresh fish, but when I got there, I was told they had gone through the fish over the weekend. After conversing with Maria, I decided on the special of the day: fried chicken, rice, and cabbage salad. The chicken was fried crisp (like my Nana use, too make) yummy! Real simple meal, I added the green plantains instead of buying a bag of the chips, and a soda was included. My belly is full. This was a very unassuming location. It sits back off the street. When I pulled up, it looked closed. Do not be fooled, I'm happy I got out of the car and tried the door. I'm excited, the food was good so I will go back and try them again. Hopefully, when I go back there, they'll have some fish, and then I'll update my review. Give them a try, I don't believe you'll be disappointed! I ate the food before I wrote the review. I'll do better next time.

The woman working in the truck was very sweet and made the ordering process simple. They were out of quite a few things so I ended up just grabbing some plantains and then going to a restaurant for a meal but it was fine considering I was just kind of looking for a snack to hold me over for a long drive and these did the trick. This truck is designed so cute it definitely stands out in a crowd of food trucks. I thought it was odd that I didn't get my change until the end when I came back for my food though and then she forgot that she had to give me my change but when I reminded her she left the truck and came back with my change so I'm assuming and she just ran out of change.

I ordered the pollo guisado and moro, both were good and we have a little left over. My partner ordered the pica pollo and the fried chicken was decent. The food does take some time, and servers did not check in too often so I would recommend ordering ahead of time (unless you have a long lunch break), There are plenty of tables, but it is a little dark inside, 2 bathrooms inside. The juice was on the sweet side so just watered it down (wish they have smoothies), but they get 5 stars overall for the flavor and the price point. Plenty of parking as it's in located along other stores.

The classic pernil (pork) never fails and is especially delicious when topped with some of their amazing mojo (garlic) sauce. The oxtail is a bit salty but full of concentrated flavor. This would have been great with a side of rice to eat up all the yummy sauce but I can never pass up the chance to have fried yuca (a pro move would've been to order both sides, which i will definitely do next time).

Love this little truck!…read more Here at Desi Vibes, you get the full food truck experience. Friendly service, a rotating menu, affordable prices (got two meals for $12), operating hours that you just kind of need to check before you go, and most importantly, hot, tasty, messy food. The doubles were the reason I came, and I was lucky to pick some up on a Saturday evening. The pepper sauce is perfect, and they have a great chutney on top. If you're new to Trini street food, doubles are a popular small dish that you'll find in most towns across the island nation, commonly eaten for breakfast. Essentially it's chickpeas in a curry-like sauce served on two bara (which function like a tortilla). It's delicious and unlike most familiar flavor profiles, and it's definitely worth trying here because these folks knock it out of the park. The mushroom burger came out hot - almost too hot to hold. The patty was cooked well-done, which is worth noting if you prefer a medium cook on your burger. The mushrooms, onions, and sauce got everywhere - it was glorious. Can't wait to go back and try the loaded fries, shrimp fritters, and more of their authentic Trini dishes!

One order has 3 sliders with mini beef patties topped with cheese, grilled onions, and jalapeños - all in all super delicious! The loaded fries were pretty good too but I will say that the cheese sauce was slightly lacking in flavor. The spicy chicken sandwich was nice and crispy but the coleslaw was a bit too sweet for my liking. The chicken itself was a little dry inside so I think some kind of sauce would be a great addition! Make sure you check them out on instagram to see menu updates before you go. Their prices are so reasonable and it's nice to have more halal options in North Houston!
