Not a go to truck for sure. They trick you by not putting up prices. I decided to give it a shot and was I disappointed, not to mention so was my stomach. Very bland caribbean food. There was no spice in the rice and peas. I will not be returning, there are much better trucks out there. If you decide to go don't be surprised by the sticker shock price $10 really?

One star because of the plantains; they were delicious. That said, there were more bones in my chicken roti than pieces of chicken. To package it like a burrito in a somewhat bland wrap kind of hides that fact from people. Even while dissecting the roti with a knife and fork and removing large bones from the mix, I still found myself crunching into smaller bone fragments in my roti hidden amongst the existing vegetables and chicken bits. Might want to elaborate that this dish is "bone in" on their menu.

The "peas and rice" should be renamed to "rice with one bean in it." Additionally, the bean did little to mask the fact that the rice was, like the roti wrap, quite bland. The portions on both the sides were woefully inadequate. Not worth the $10 I paid for it. Will not be back.

The customer service was good, however the taste of the oxtails were not. I read the reviews on here and decided to try it anyway as the oxtail reviews were left months ago and said that the oxtails weren’t tasty, I wanted to support anyway and try it but today April 16th the reviews were the same for me. The oxtails were bland, there was no taste unless I added the plantains to each bite. The portions size is good, plantains & rice were good too, but the lack of taste in the oxtails was a disappointment. Unfortunately, I don’t think I will make a 3rd trip to this truck.

How Much Did It Cost?: $11 

The wings were amazing!!! This was my first time getting the rice and peas. A couple spoons of rice tasted as if the rice wasn't cooked all the way or it had been sitting for a while. Maybe I'll try the cabbage next time. I was a bit disappointed to have only gotten three pieces of plantains, but they were still amazing. I would have to say those were the best plantains I've ever had.

I don't want to forget about the coco bread....mmm...mmm...mmm. I thought I was going to get a piece of coco bread that was about the size of 2 small dinner rolls, but I could have cut this piece of bread into four.

Can't wait to see them @ Farragut Square again!!!

Visited twice, had beef patties one time and chicken roti the second. Peas and rice and plantains both time.

Peas and rice were essentially devoid of seasoning. Very bland.

Plantains were good and consistent between the two visits, although on the first I got a huge serving and on the second I got three pieces total.

Beef patties were tasty and had reasonable spiciness. I would get them again.

Chicken roti appeared to be the chicken curry in a wrapper. The wrapper as all but inedible. The filing had good flavor, but was full of bones. I ended up with two full thigh bones and numerous shards and fragments. They really need to get the "(boneless)" off the menu because it isn't even close to accurate.

Service was very friendly and prompt.

The menu is a little confusing, listing entrees and sides. The problem is that some of the entrees don't go with the $10 special (including the beef patties, although I talked them into it). Also not all of the sides go with the special and not all of the sides are available. The second time I just quit guessing what I could have.

The menu at the truck has no prices except for the $10 special.

Overall, I'm sorry to say that there are lots of better choices out there.

The customer service was warm like the Caribbean. I ordered the curry chicken entree with a side of plantains and peas & rice. The plantains were perfect! They had just the right texture and moistness. The meat of the chicken smoothly came off the bone and the curry sauce was delicious. I definitely recommend this truck.


Absolutely Great... Customer service was even better... Would love for them to come to my area more often... Farragut Square

The best thing I can say about this place is that they give you a decent amount of food. The ox tail was certainly tender, but it didn't taste like much at all. I noticed that other reviewers that didn't like the food complained about heavy handedness with spices. I'd say that either the truck needs to strike a fair balance between bland and spice or truckgoers ought to expect some serious spice (as I did) from West Indian food.

What truly destroyed my whole experience, however, were the rice and peas. Yes, it's true that they are not peas but beans, but I'm willing to chalk that up to a potential idiomatic thing that I'm unaware of. The less forgivable piece is that they tasted like cigarettes. Maybe something was burned in the process, I'm not sure, but it rendered the whole thing inedible.

What Did You Order?: Curry chicken, cabbage, rice w/beans •

Good sized portion was served. The curry chicken was boneless, skinless and well seasoned. The rice was cooked to perfection served under the chicken. Perfect to eat without having to pick through and spit out chipped bones. The cabbage was seasoned well with carrots, peppers and onions but not too many that there was not any cabbage. Keep up the good food and I will frequent your truck.. Valentine
