Vegan platter: curry chickpeas, fried cauliflower, rice & beans, veg, plantains
Kim R.

I cannot get over how good everything was! I got the vegan platter and figured I'll eat some tonight and save the rest for leftovers. When I tell you I ate the whole thing, I could have kept going! Every part of it was absolutely delicious. The flavor on the curried chickpeas was incredible. And they were such sweet people too! Great customer service. Can't wait to find this truck again!

I ordered the jerk chicken, and it was phenomenal. Perfectly charred on the outside, juicy and flavorful on the inside, with that signature kick of heat and spice that makes your taste buds dance. You can tell the marinade is done right. I will Highly recommend!

Half eaten  Curry Chicken, Jerk Chicken, Grilled Asparagus, & Mac&Cheese

Absolutely delicious food! I ordered the 2 protein combo with Jerk Chicken & Curry Chicken, Mac&Cheese, & Grilled Asparagus. Everything was seasoned to perfection. The Pineapple Ginger juice is a great balance of sweet, citrus, and bite of ginger. There was a little wait, but well worth everything second for this delicious food. The people working the food truck are very friendly and hospitable. The food truck is wrapped in a very fun Caribbean beach scene.

Dilans Carribean Grill was a vendor at the Street Food Cinema ft. Do the Right Thing Juneteenth celebration. I've been craving Caribbean food for a while now. So this was a no-brainer to me I knew exactly which food truck I was gonna try. The line had a nice amount of customers waiting. So that made me confident this was a clear-sign of goodness. Lol...... Sadly I was wrong The curry was okay it could have had more of a flavorful taste to be honest. I was also disappointed that they only gave me 3 asparagus. I'm sad I didn't get the flavor I was looking for here.

Tri tip, Mac n cheese, and asparagus. Sooooo yummy.

Best Caribbean food. I never knew a food truck can cook this good. I will definitely eat from them again. I'm so glad they come to my apartment building.

Lobster taco!!!!  Bomb!!!

Lobster tacos are a must!!!! Yummy!!! I ate the other two but this is the last one before I demolish it!!!

Customized Burger and fries
Rob C.

By far one of my favorite food trucks I look forward to when they pop up around L.A. He has some great recipes. The Jerk Chicken is his staple. Very flavorful and just the right amount of kick to it. It's a recipe he's crafted through out the years, but besides that there's also some other must try items you should look for. I always look forward to the ox tails. Another must try and I get sad when he sells out of them and I miss them because they really are something to look forward to. Jerk Chicken + Ox Tails are number one and two on my list. He also makes some good curry chicken too, it's a sleeper item on the menu. Not to mention his Tri Tip plate is great too. But what's really a sleeper menu item is his burger and fries. Man oh man let me tell you something he does make an incredible burger. I usually make it a bacon cheese burger and customize it with grilled onions, but this time around I ordered the burger and Dilan had a surprise and topped it with Tri Tip along with grilled onions, lettuce and tomato with cheese. I always ask for my burgers to be cooked medium to really savor the flavor. I was not disappointed one bit as this burger was good to the very last bite. Very good place! I also love his plantains and Mac N cheese. You got to look for Dilan when he pops up. He's usually at Upshift Brewery and Melrose Trading Post but keep up with his Instagram because they announce other places they go. Trust me your taste buds will be rewarded. Yet another great black owned business you should come out and visit soon. Dilan and Jewel are really cool people.

Food was fresh, flavorful and served to order. I was disappointed they didn't have macaroni and cheese. My friend had the curry chickpeas and it was super delicious! The service was good. It was at a Flea market so there were two tables under a tent.

Brown chicken, rice and plantains
Sarah S.

Dilan's Carribean was a welcome edition this past week at my friend's apartment complex. We looked forward to it all day, checking the menu, deciding what to get! Ordering ahead was super easy and friendly. We texted, they confirmed, 20 minutes later we ran down to grab the grub. We finally settled on a cheeseburger with fries ad the brown chicken with plantains and rice. We really enjoyed everything, good portion sizes, completely reasonable prices. I must say I was obsessed with their fries though! They were so crispy, just the right amount of salt...I was in loveeeee. Couldn't stop popping them! Check their instagram to see where they'll be next! Great food with that island spice.

Ok. So apparently they had two trucks at different locations. I was going to the location in…read moreLincoln Heights for yeeaaaaarsss. Everything was delicious and I was heart broken when the truck disappeared. I would still pass by whenever I could to see if they returned, hoping, praying that they would return. Recently, a friend found this yelp page and scrolled through the comments and found that another customer said they're at this other location in Vernon. I live out of town now and just flew in last night. We decided to take a chance and see if was truly my beloved primos. The NEW LOCATION for my Lincoln Heights peeps is indeed now in Vernon. 5681 S Downey Rd Vernon, CA 90058 We got there last night and circled around a bit but closer to take a look at the truck and it's definitely not the white truck that was parked in the Heights. It's a different orange truck with electronic signs on it. But when I stood up close to analyze the menu and the condiments outside, I can tell it was the same amazing salsa that I grew up on and some familiar faces inside. Now that we know where they are, we'll be making the drive from Lincoln Heights to Vernon for the amazing tacos. My heart is whole again after these rough past few years without their amazing food. Please. I encourage all of you to come here. Tell your friends and family. They're more than worth it. PS. I tried buying a whole bottle of my favorite salsa from them but they weren't down. Too bad. I'll try again next time.

Best tacos in LA. Doesn't get more authentic. Us Mexicans know. I have Sonoran blood and I haven't…read morehad tacos like this even in Mexico. You gotta go deep like in Oaxaca, MX to get this stuff and these dudes are charging pennies when they're true taco kings. Humble and quick the line builds up but goes fast and you'll be back 2-3 that night.

50+ food trucks in one place? A dream come true…read more They had everything you could possibly imagine: Shaved Ice. BBQ. Sliders. Ramen. Boba. Icecream sandwiches. Dim Sum. Waffles. Grilled Cheese. Sushi. Filipino, Argentine, Greek, Brazilian, Korean trucks.... just to name a few. $10 to get in for this seven hour long event, and a portion of the proceeds goes to The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. There was also over 40 vendors present, carnival games, live music performances, an acoustic tent, art/car displays, and an electronic gaming truck! I really liked that xylophone display.. it was really fun to play with it. There was also a Yelp tent, and I got a cool bag and necklace after signing up :) I was really afraid that it would be really crowded (last food truck festival I went to was a disaster) But it was not! Wait time was usually 5 minutes for most trucks... and up to 15-20 minutes for the popular trucks! (Grilled cheese!!) Although I wish it wasn't sprinkling in the beginning, my friends and I had a blast! We all sampled 12 trucks! (Ta Bom, Rebel Bite, Tornado Potato, Temaki, Jogasaki, Tropical Shaved Ice, Crepes Bonaparte, Flying Pig, The Boba Truck, Tango Mango, Sweetesbakeshop, and Chef Che). Yes.. yes..I know. I kinda let myself go here. My favorite: JOGASAKI! One thing that really bothered me is that none of the food trucks sold drinks because they wanted you to pay for the overpriced ones at the bar :\ $3 for water/soda? $7 for beer? No thanks. I hope they have this again next year :)

What a great tasty surprise to stumble upon today. We were looking forward to the IE Food Truck…read moreFest on the 18th and this event was a yummy teaser to hold us over until the Fest... From the beef kimchi tacos, delectable raggin' gumbo and lobster rolls to the mouth-watering waffles and ice-cream...It was a hit with only a few misses with ordinary things such as french fries and mediocre raviolis. All in all, a great couple of hours to satisfy undecided palates.

The Wait and quality of food.. Not worth it…read more Came here around 12pm to get some lunch because I was in the area craving Thai. Their menu looked appetizing and the reviews were decent so I gave it a try. Before I ordered I asked how long the wait would be and she said 15min. So I ran an errand and came back, 15 minutes have past and I'm still waiting. I waited until 25 minutes before I asked about my food. she said it was coming up next, and sorry for the wait. I understood I mean it's lunch time. You can tell they were rushed, there's only two of them and the people waiting in line to order slowly left. She didn't acknowledge people waiting in line, she had he back towards them. 40 minutes have passed now and I'm HANGRY... She kept telling me it was next and that it's backed up. I waited another 10 mins before my food came out... By this time I was over it. I took a bite of the pad see ew and it was so bland... The beef is dry and tasted like they Rushed it.... All that wait for something gross.. Very disappointed !! I mean cmon even when I'm hangry and the food doesn't taste good still.... Sad

You ever order something that you thought was going to taste a certain way, and when you get it,…read moreyou find yourself dabbing other items' sauces on it in an effort to make it either taste better, or taste closer to what you thought it was going to taste like? Well, that's what just happened to me. I wouldn't mind trying other things on their menu, next time. I'm hopeful. But I have to admit, I didn't love the bbq pork noodle I ordered. It came with a peanut/vinegary/liquidy sauce. The noodles tasted like nothing, and the bbq pork was good. But I guess you're supposed to pour the sauce over the whole dish, else the noodles would just be dry and flavorless. Kind of like you do on Vietnamese vermicelli dishes.I've never had Thai food that way, but I'm open-minded. The prices were a little on the high side for a food truck. I mean, why are food trucks generally expensive for fast food? It kind of contradicts the whole concept behind the "roach coach". Dontcha think? These prices were like sit-down restaurant prices for the pretty good Thai food places around town. So, not sure how the whole business model of having high prices works out for these food truckers. I also ordered the fried tofu with the sweet chili sauce. You can't go wrong on fried tofu, so nothing to write about besides it's good :). Service? They could definitely pick up some storefront personality and speed. But overall, they seemed nice.

Delicious shrimp tacos (tacos de camarones) here! Among some of the best shrimp tacos I've ever had…read morethus far. The shell was nice and crispy with a meaty shrimp filling. The shrimp was plump and flavorful. What amped up the flavor was the salsa on top which was super flavorful and fresh and not too salty for me. I also liked the creamy avocado on top. Everything held together well and it wasn't too messy to eat. I would keep coming back here for these alone. This is a food truck, but they actually have a designated indoor seating with ample tables and chairs and even bathrooms! Parking is street parking. I would highly recommend this spot among LA's best tacos spots.

Mariscos Jaliscos is a simple, humble and easy going food truck that easily beats any sit in boujee restaurant. Their menu is simple and easy to understand. Mariscos Jalisco is best known for their Fried shrimp tacos however, they have one of the best aguachiles I've tasted hands down. Their shrimp tacos are absolutely amazing with the right crunchiness and soft fried shrimp inside. The sauce that comes with these tacos are jam packed with flavor adding to the overall flavors/texture of the shrimp taco. Hurts to say it but this might be my new favorite shrimp taco in ELA/Boyle Heights area. The service here is quick and friendly. I went on a Friday afternoon and did not find busy crowds at this food truck. Street parking is available and the times that i've visited other food trucks nearby i was able to find quick parking. Its a busy street so you will find people coming in and out of parking spots most of the time. I enjoyed my experience here at Mariscos Jalisco and will be coming back very soon. You all need to come to this place.
