Well well well look at this little hidden gem…read more We walk by this place on our routine walks and am always intrigued as they always have good jams playing. Not quite being connoisseurs of Jamaican food, we ordered the stereotypical thing to order - the jerk chicken. While I was waiting I noticed they also had ox tail. Ox Tail - although delicious, is quite a rarity in our restaurant/food scene. For those who aren't familiar with it, google describes it perfectly as "known for its rich flavor and succulent texture". Having similar above convo with the owners as we waited lol, they let us try a sample of the oxtail too. Guys! THIS is why I'm writing my review. Ok ok... this and the Jaimaican Patties. These two things are where it's at. The oxtail was perfectly cooked...tender...flavorful... mouth drooling. And what is a Jamaican patty you ask? We weren't sure going into it either. You have to see the pictures because the patty speaks for itself. There's layers of yummy flakey buttery pastry around a deliciousness of meat filling. We ended up going back and ordered the oxtail and patties again so I can vouch for consistency in what I speak of this place. I don't even need the sides. Just give me an oxtail meat plate with beef Jamaican patties and I'm all set.

That alone says a lot. The sauces are incredible, the chicken is packed with flavor, and the rice is on point. What really sets this place apart for me is the ability to customize your salad and get sauces on the side rather than having everything pre-loaded, which a lot of other shawarma spots don't offer. Generous portions too. The food truck park it sits in also has free, decent parking, so no stress on that front. One thing to be aware of: I have found sharp bone fragments in the chicken on more than one occasion, which is a real safety concern. It may just be a byproduct of how the meat is carved off the spit, but it is something to watch out for. We also received free baklava once as a little treat from the guy running it, which was a genuinely nice gesture. Not my personal favorite dessert, but the hospitality was appreciated. Highly recommend giving this place a try.

Rating: 4.1/5 [delivery]…read more We ordered two plates: the Beef Kabab Plate ($15.99) and the Mix Shawarma Plate ($14.99). Both were well balanced. The yellow basmati rice was delicious and the salad was very refreshing. Flavors were good overall, but the meats were dry and overcooked. The white sauce helped add some moisture. The Beef Kabab Plate came with two skewers, while the Mix Shawarma Plate came with gyros and chicken shawarma. The salad included diced pickles which was interesting and added a nice contrasting acidity. Dolma ($5.99): This came with four pieces of dolma, pita bread, white sauce, and hot sauce. The dolma was better than expected, though I personally prefer falafel. Hummus ($5.99): Delicious and paired perfectly with the soft pita. Baklava ($3): A generous sized pastry that was okay. We have had better baklava elsewhere.

Awful. Got dinner from there and it was a huge disappointment. First of all, the empanadas…read moreappetizer is one empanada. Not sure why it is plural on the menu. The worst was the veggie sandwich (pictured). This was before I ate any of it. It was literally Swiss cheese, one slice of tomato, 1 piece of romaine, and a few avocado chunks. The menu said it would also have onions, but either it didn't or the amount was so small I could neither see nor taste it. I tried to eat the sandwich but it tasted like bread with wilted lettuce, so I ended up throwing it away after a few bites. The worst part was that it took 20+ minutes to get the food.... And you have to stand there and wait. They don't text you or anything. I love the Hive, but will be telling everyone I know to avoid this food truck. We got one taco that was decent. A bit dry, but fine. Granted, you can find a lot of tacos that are better than "fine" in Austin.

I ordered the 5-piece wet lemon pepper wings, and for me that was more than enough. I usually don't go for saucy wings, but I had to try these... and they did NOT disappoint. - Flavor was on point - Perfectly coated without being overwhelming - Came with ranch, but honestly didn't even need it My husband ordered the turkey leg with macaroni, and let me just say -- come hungry or plan to share. The portion alone could easily feed two people. Their drinks tasted and looked homemade. I had the Very Berry -- a little on the sweeter side, but still refreshing and paired well with the food. Food did take a little time to come out, even though it wasn't packed, but it actually made sense once we got it. Everything tasted fresh, like it was made to order -- definitely not something sitting under a heat lamp. The vibe was fun too. The music was playing and they even had a song about their menu, which I thought was super creative and added to the experience. One small recommendation -- if you're planning to sit and eat at the food park, it might help to bring hand wipes or sanitizer for the tables. I didn't notice any sinks or restrooms nearby, so just something to keep in mind. Would I come back? Yes -- especially when I'm craving something flavorful and different in ATX.

We started with the puff samosas, which were surprisingly large and very filling. The crust was perfectly crispy and packed with a generous amount of flavorful filling. Since we're vegetarian, we had to double-check a few items--some curries are made with chicken stock (for example, we wanted the Malvani egg curry but couldn't get it because of that). The staff was helpful in clarifying what was vegetarian. We ended up ordering the Millionaire's Curry and were able to get it with tofu for extra protein, along with jalapeño naan and rice. The portions were more than enough for two people who weren't super hungry. The naan was really delicious, with nicely crisped edges, and the curry was rich, comforting, and full of flavor. Overall, everything we tried was delicious, the portions were generous, and we appreciated the flexibility for vegetarians. Definitely planning to come back and try more items next time.

I'll admit that I'm not a big fan of Mexican, Tex-Mex or other southern methods of food preparation. Judy is! She's the professional dietician, cookbook collector and best judge of foods quality, composition, and presentations. So I ordered my standard shrimp fajitas, no guacamole, no regurgitated beans, no pica de gallo, just rice and flour tortillas. The sizzling platter came to the table smoking hot with everything on the platter burnt to destruction. Judy, on the other hand ordered the full plate. One of their dinner "Plato's" where everything looks smashed together with all the things I don't like. But she is the "Foodie" and loves ethnic foods. She rates this place much lower than I did only had burnt shrimp and vegetable with a cup of the worst rice a mouse ever ran from. This place is definitely on our "one and done" list. I hope you have a better experience than we do so please drink up this food needs rethinking.
