    Jerk Chicken Meal
    Wendilyn I.

    This serves your food quickly and hot, which is my favorite when I waited way too long before having lunch. The food truck lot is easy to find and there want plenty of open parking on Sunday afternoon. There are many picnic tables around the shaded trees in between the trucks where you can enjoy your food. You can't miss this Jamaican food truck. The beef patty was delicious. It was full of meat and it tasted very good. I also liked the taste of both meals. The oxtail was not very fatty and it had plenty of meat. The rice and beans were also very good. I didn't love the dessert bc it was coconut and I don't like that flavor in my sweets but my partner enjoyed it and had it all. I liked coming here and then going grocery shopping at HEB and Trader Joe's nearby.

    Man oh man, fabulous! You are in for a treat here. I've only ordered the jerk chicken and it is full of flavor. It has a kick for those who don't do spice well. My partner tried it (his family is Jamaican) and agreed how delicious it was. The portion size is decent. I feel a bit bias because I'm pregnant and always want more chicken. Make sure to order your patties and coco bread! They are quick too. You can expect your meal to be ready in about ten- fifteen minutes if that! The vibes are right and we will definitely be back (already have gone back to back weekends).

    Curry Chicken, Plantains, Oxtail
    Ela D.

    This place is absolutely amazing. I tried the Curry Chicken and a little bit if Oxtail with a Tropical Rhythms juice and I was floored by how incredible every single thing was. The curry chicken is tender and flavorful. This is a picture of the "small" portion. This is easily two meals for me. It's the best chicken dish I've had in longer than I can remember. The oxtail just falls off the bone and melts in your mouth. Braised to perfection, seasoned so well I'm probably going to dream about it tonight. The veggies and rice and plantains: Holy crap. I don't even like rice and I am going to clean my plate (eventually after getting through the leftovers. Seriously, the portions are huge!) Finally, the owner is such a kind, funny, awesome dude! And he makes a damn fine punch! Don't sleep on this place, you HAVE to try it

    Best Jamaican food I have ever had in my life. I'll be back many times. If you ever open up a brick and mortar restaurant that would be amazing!

    Why haven't you ate here yet is the real question. The food is on point!! Everything is homemade and you can tell. Never had a chicken patty before...let's just say I had to buy another one before I pulled off. Will probably be back every weekend cause why not?!

    It's our first time to try this place. It smells delicious. I had the small jerk chicken. It was delicious!! Ask for the hot pepper sauce from Jamaica... it really adds to the flavor!

    Jerk Chicken Meal
    Jamie D.

    Pretty good serving for the price. The plantains were done well, but the jerk chicken wasn't as fall off the bone tender as I wished. I also wasn't a huge fan of the jerk chicken seasoning. It was more on the spicier side than flavorful side.

    It's a cute little food bus!

    Located in a very shady food truck park. The food was superb and priced very well. I had the curried goat and it was amazing. Also loved the plantains and Jamaican soda. Perfect spot with lots of shade too.

    Always excellent customer service, nice Jamaican music to set the vibe. Great food 10/10

    Jerk chicken - Lg portion
    Allison T.

    It was my first time trying Jamaican food and oh my goodness it was delicious! I ordered the large portion of the Jerk Chicken meal. It is so flavorful and has a nice kick to it without it being overwhelming. It came with rice and peas, fried plantains and steamed veggies (cabbage, carrot, etc.) I definitely would order from here again. The man helping me called me sweetheart which made me feel special

    Beef Patties

    I've been looking for good Jamaican chicken for the longest & I've tried 2 other places in Austin but this is my new favorite! I found it by a quick search and saw how close it was to me and decided to stop by and try it after reading some reviews. The owner was wonderful and the food here is amazing! The jerk chicken was falling off the bone, the plantains were sweet and yummy, and the rice & peas were the best! I will definitely be coming here regularly now! Highly recommend!

    I was so happy to see a new food truck opening near our neighborhood! I tried the jerk chicken meal and it was delicious. The chicken was so flavorful, tender and moist. The food came out piping hot and tasted fresh. The owners are super nice, I wasn't sure if the jerk chicken would be too spicy for my two year old daughter and they gave me a sample to try before ordering. My daughter loved it too and kept asking for more. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu!

I prefer the mini but they're sold out a lot which shows you how spectacular this place is. My go to is the nutty valentine. The donut is always warm, fresh, and crispy. And the toppings of Nutella, cinnamon, and strawberries adds dimension & the perfect story. There is plenty of patio seating and lots of parking outside. There can be a line on the weekends and they tend to sell out so keep that in mind. The staff is friendly and service is quick!

    Doughnuts made to order out of an airstream, you say?…read more Looks like they used to offer mini versions but that side of the menu is all mask taped over. When we went our choices were $9-$10 donut base desserts. I say base because the toppings cover up the donut visually. Despite that, there's no covering that scrumptious taste and texture. Wowaweea. Yes, you feel your cells expand and pants tighten and it is for sure run club pre and post, but quite worth it. These divine donuts have that cakey interior I love so much. We had the Puddin': cream cheese icing, vanilla pudding, fresh bananas with nilla wafers. According to the menu. Ours didn't have any nilla wafers and the presentation was uneven, hence the four stars. I didn't miss the wafers. The icing and pudding were one goopy topping and the bananas slices were half scattered slices and half banana chunk that I had to separate. Side notes: Gourdough sits on a corner with parking spots that are not free. There's a pay via QR code so you'll need a phone or something to scan that. Boo for digital shackles. Next note- I feel like this is a low key meet up spot. Like the way they tried to make the first train cars on the MTA the singles car? There was a series of singles getting doughnuts and they were a little done up for the occasion. Who knows. With the little IG ready love seats and doughnuts made for sharing, you could walk away with extra sugar.

Not lukewarm. Cold. I bit it a second time because I genuinely couldn't believe it. Meanwhile, the rice was so hot it was still visibly steaming from what I can only assume was a microwave, drowned in a watery gravy I never asked for, next to the old cabbage with solidified liquid. I brought the plate back to the counter, explained the chicken was refrigerator cold, and asked them to reheat it. I'm writing this today with an upset stomach. I wish I could say this was a one-time issue. It's not. I've been trying this restaurant, on and off, for over 15 years, and I kept giving them chance after chance because I wanted so badly for it to be good. I first met the owner when he ran a food truck, before the restaurant existed. I was excited; there weren't many Jamaicans in Austin at the time, and I was happy to support one. The rice and peas was so bad I threw the plate away. Years later, I tried the restaurant location. I ordered curry goat, took it to my car, and found the meat flavorless, fatty, and poorly trimmed; basically inedible. I threw it away in the parking lot. I later ordered oxtail through Uber Eats: flavorless again, poorly prepped meat, and an actual rock in the rice and peas. I tried introducing the child to Jamaican food with one of their beef patties, and it was dry and flavorless. Yesterday I ordered the "safest" thing on the menu, brown stew chicken, specifically because I no longer trust myself to spend real money on anything more ambitious here. I still got food that had clearly been microwaved and reheated unevenly, served with a piece of chicken that was still cold. Are we really selling microwaved leftovers out of an established restaurant with a huge kitchen? Jamaican food is something our culture takes real pride in. This restaurant has had a decade and a half to get it right, and instead I've watched it consistently cut corners on seasoning, on prep, and now on basic food safety. I don't say this lightly: if you want real Jamaican food, this isn't where you'll find it, and depending on the day, what you're served may not even be handled safely.
