I don't think anyone should go to this place to buy this Jamaican food very dry. Very rough tasting over seasoned just very very disgusting. The cabbage was very tough.

It's been a few years since we've tried Jamaican food...perhaps not since we lived in Hawaii 8 years ago. In any case, when we pulled up, we realized there were 2 other food trucks in the area along with a produce stand. After perusing the menu, I ordered the jerk chicken ($16 for medium) and my wife ordered the jerk pork ($16 for medium). I also ordered the spicy jerk sauce ($2) when I was asked if I wanted it. We took our orders home and they were still warm. My wife and I both liked the salad, fried plantains, and the seasoned rice the jerk meats were served with. The jerk chicken had decent flavors but it wasn't spicy at all. Adding the spicy jerk sauce helped but even that wasn't all that spicy. My wife thought her pork was tender and had good flavors. Portion size was good as we had leftovers for another meal. We're not really Jamaican food connoisseurs, but I recall bolder flavors from previous jerk chicken I've tried before, both at someone's home and at restaurants. Lunch for 2 came out to $34 not including tip.

Definitely try the oxtail - It's super tender and flavorful. He must've overheard our interest in ice cream, because without prompt, he brought us a sampler trio of handmade flavors (not common or easy to find flavors btw!) We ordered the one that most stood out: SCOTCH BONNET. At first, it's delicately sweet, and then chased by a fiery aftertaste - It is to say, Little Bickle gave my throat a tickle!  The owner was so patient and thoughtful personalizing our time there that we felt like we were the only customers in the shop. I truly hope that more locals find this little gem & give it a shot. I know it'll be a unique experience for them too! Wishing this sweet owner all the best!
