The jerk chicken and rice and peas had the PERFECT amount of seasoning and heat. Doesn't take long to get your food either :) I will 100% be back to try the curry chicken/oxtail/fish dishes. I cannot wait There's not a whole lot of parking but you can park just up the road to the right of the truck. Also Vinny is a super cool+friendly guy who likes talking about sports! I believe they're closed on the weekends too so make sure you get there during the week. Promise you will enjoy it!

We ended up coming here because we met a nice lady at the red hook car ferry who told us if we want…read moregood fish, her husband owned a food truck right by Coki beach! We were planning to go to Coki beach anyhow and we love good Caribbean fish so we came here on our way home from the beach. We were told to call ahead and tell Vinny what we wanted so he could start making it because it's made fresh - it takes at least an hour to make. We wanted red snapper, he only had yellowtail snapper that day but it was still really good! We ordered two meals which come with the whole cooked fish, rice and peas, and plantains. We took it back to our airbnb and had it with some cooked vegetables - it was enough for two meals for each me and my mother, and this was $70 in total, so not a bad deal! If it puts things in perspective, I read online that Brooke's bar has the best food on the island. I tried Brooke's a couple days after I came here (also ordered snapper there) - genuinely I did not notice a difference between here and the food from Brooke's, it's all just tasty! And if anything, I actually preferred Vinny's because he had the food ready when he said it would be ready, whereas when we called Brooke's 2 hours early and they said the food would be ready, it was NOT. There was a little picnic table here if you wanted to sit and eat, but we didn't. Otherwise there isn't a whole lot of ambiance, it's just along the road that leads to Coki beach.

ROADSIDE TREAT As…read moreyou travel around the island of St Thomas you will encounter roadside restaurants hidden everywhere. This is one of those places. It is located east of the Food Center grocery store. This is a place where the locals eat. As you drive up in your rental car, they will totally know you're not a local. Do not be afraid and miss out where the locals eat. You will see a bunch of outdoor tables and a food truck that is now a non moving kitchen. There is a wooden staircase located at the back door of the truck. As you make your way up the stairs you will see a glass case with already cooked food. It will totally be hard to see the food past the steamy glass but the owner is brilliant. She uses a window squeegee to clean the steam off the windows. You will now have a totally clear view of all the food she has. It is typical Caribbean stewed meats like chicken, goat & fish. A plate of chicken with rice costs only $10. If you want goat or fish with rice it will set you back $12. You can also add on a Johnny Cake for just $1. Two sisters make all of the food and they have been in business for seven years which means that they are doing something right. So next time you find yourself on a winding road in St Thomas keep your eyes open and stay on the left side because these hidden culinary adventures exist everywhere. Everything doesn't have to be twenty bucks a plate and this place is a perfect example.

They had a nice seating area to eat but it was getting dark so we headed back before the sun started setting. Otherwise we would've definitely stayed to eat. Highly recommend! 10/10 I wish I took a picture of the food but I ate it so fast the moment we got inside our room. But we will be back soon!

Just LOVED this place -- the food, the setting, the people, the location, everything. It is a food…read moretruck, run by an absolutely lovely couple who takes great pride in their food. But to call it a food truck really undersells the setting: they have found a little open spot in the woods, with plenty of room to eat, park, get out of the sun, etc. We had patties and beans and rice the first time we went (the chicken patty was especially outstanding). And we had the oxtail the second time, which was terrific -- such depth of flavor, and a lot of food. It's cash only, so be prepared. It is just down the road from Magen's Bay Beach. While there is some decent food at the beach itself, I'd say plan things so that you eat at Charlo's instead. Well worth it.

Absolutely loved this food truck! We ended up going twice during our trip and the customer service…read morealone made us want to come back. The guy helping run the truck, originally from Florida, was incredibly friendly and welcoming. He took time to chat with us, told us more about the food truck, showed us a nice nearby spot to sit and eat, and even introduced us to his nephew who also helps run the truck. On my first visit I tried the oxtails, mac & cheese, and passion fruit juice. They were out of the beef patties and rice & peas because it was a busy cruise day, but he promised to save us some for the next day -- and he actually did! We came back the following day and sure enough, he had beef patties waiting for us. The oxtails were honestly some of the best I've ever had super flavorful and tender. The mac & cheese was amazing, and the beef patties were very filling. I ordered two and could barely finish one. The passion fruit juice was a little sweet for my taste, but I still enjoyed it. If I'm ever back in St. Thomas or Fort Lauderdale, I'll definitely be visiting again. The food and hospitality were just that good!

Growing up in South Florida, Caribbean roti was part of my food DNA - and finding a great one…read moreoutside of South Florida has been nearly impossible. So when I was on vacation in St. John and spotted The Roti King, I had to stop. It scratched the itch in the best way possible. The roti was everything I remembered: warm, stuffed with perfectly spiced curry filling, and served with that homemade chutney that just ties it all together. Pure comfort food. If you're in the area and love real Caribbean food, check it out!

Everyone had their favorite dish, and I ended up going with the Street Beet Salad with falafel. I loved how all of the ingredients came together and tasted super delicious! This was one of the more creative items on the menu, but there are also a good bit of classic Mediterranean dishes to choose from as well. Overall I don't think you can go wrong with anything here. The locals clearly love this hidden gem and I can 100% see why. I found the price point to be really reasonable, especially considering the quality of the food and the size of the portion. I will say it wasn't even that expensive for mainland food which I really appreciated. The woman taking orders was very kind and easy to talk to. It seems like there are three women in the truck cooking and taking orders, and doing an amazing job! People waiting in line are also friendly and happy to rave about this place. I will 100% need to come back before this trip ends

The drinks are a little pricier, but taking into account you're in the middle of a national park with not much around, the prices make sense. Drinks absolutely delicious - we loved the pina colada! They have plenty of seating, so you can either stay and enjoy or take your drinks back to the beach across the street. I'm not sure if they're related or not, but there is a little food shop little right next to it with the same available seating. As with the drinks, food there is a little pricier but take into account where you are. We ordered the mahi bites. Absolutely delicious. Fish was solid enough to pick up but flaked apart in your mouth. Would totally order again. Great place to stop when you're enjoying the beach at Maho Bay.

Fun tiki bar with ample seating options in pristine Maho Bay…read more We stayed in the bay on a catamaran for approx 5 days and came ashore to the tiki bar daily for cocktails, live music, tshirt shopping. This place is the hub for anything fun you plan to do in Maho bay: ample rentals to kayak, paddle board, snorkel, chair rentals for the beach front. Great strong drinks and a fun chill vibe to chillax, play corn hole, kick back and people watch, or stare at the stunning turquoise wonder that is Maho Bay. Very highly recommended.
