    Plantains
    Travis H.

    I got two beef empanadas and an order of plantains. 10/10 on the empanadas. Packed solid with meat and flavor deep fried to perfection. Salted after which enhances the taste even more. The salsa side is good 7.2/10 comparable to burrito shops salsa. The mayo based sauce is 10/10. The plantains were good. Salted after as well. I wish they were more ripe and brought out the sweetness more. 7.1/10. They also make fresh smoothies. Give it a try they are local and delicious! The owner is very nice and his service was great. Nice shaded area to eat is available.

    Great empanadas and friendly service. I had the ham & cheese and the cheese/green chile empanadas. They were perfectly fried. Definitely check this truck out.

    I had the opportunity to try their empanadas at my daughter's Girl Scout trunk or treat event and it did not disappoint. Service was quick and the lady taking my order was very nice. I didn't order any juices or smoothies but definitely will next time because they sound delish! I went with a ground beef empanada and a green chili and cheese empanada both of which were amazing. They are flaky and crispy on the outside but so juicy and full on the inside. I especially loved the green chili and cheese! The prices are super fair, too and overall I really enjoyed it. Keep an eye out for this truck and give it a try!

    Joined my besties to try this Dominican food truck on a lunch whim and enjoyed the beautiful sunny day and excellent customer service complete with tasty empanadas and tostones and unique drinks you can't find anywhere else in Tucson. Also a bonus that the handsome owner joined our fun conversation all without missing a beat quick service and perfect Spanish. Thank you for the good vibes!

    Excellent authentic food…read more The jerk chicken was really tasty and superb. It comes with steamed veggies: cabbage, carrots, onions. It also came with rice which was good. I also got a Jamaican pop--Cola Champagne. Really good stuff. You just have to ignore food truck prices and bite the bullet to bite the food. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs!

    I've had some disappointing experiences with mediocre Jamaican cuisine in the past, so I'm gun-shy…read morewhen it comes to leaving my comfort zone and trying it at all. I've seen this trucked posted up at The Pit for a while, and I've heard good things, so I went full send and tried the oxtails. They came with plantains, rice and peas, and steamed veggies. The oxtails were perfectly cooked and fall-off-the-bone tender. Great flavor! Delicious plantains, rice, and veggies. What a stacked meal. I grabbed the bag and was surprised by how heavy it was. Definitely enough for 2. This was next level from what I've had in the past, and I look forward to visiting again and trying more.

    My New Go-To Burger Spot in NW Tucson!…read more I live in the area and have always defaulted to Five Guys for my burger cravings--until now. I've visited this place four times since May 2026, and it has completely won me over. I can't find a burger joint like this anywhere else in NW Tucson! The Food I've tried nearly all of their burgers, and they are consistently fantastic. The flavor and juiciness are excellent, but the Cheddar Bomb Burger is AMAZING--an absolute must-try. The sides are great too; I highly recommend getting the Cajun fries. Price & Service The pricing is rock solid. For the exact same price you'd pay at Five Guys, you get a burger and fries that are leagues better in both quality and taste. The service is also incredibly fast. On a recent visit, I stopped by just for the food (I wasn't even shopping), ordered my burger to-go, and it was in my hands within just a few minutes. Location Thoughts Right now, the restaurant is tucked back in the outlet mall's food court. I genuinely hope they consider moving to a better, more prominent location so the business can truly blossom. A spot in the Arizona Pavilions or across the highway on Cortaro would be perfect. The only real competitor over there is In-N-Out, which frankly isn't even competition compared to this place, in my opinion. I'll definitely be back and will update this review with some pictures next time--if I can remember to snap a photo before I dig in!

    Ol Pot Hole is officially a new go-to stop for us!…read more We had the #1 burger on the menu and it was amazing. The fries were great too, and the Southwest seasoning was SO good. Our server actually recommended that seasoning specifically because it paired best with the burger we chose -- such a small detail, but it made a difference! We also tried the BBQ chicken fries, which were delicious and a HUGE portion. Definitely come hungry! The service really stood out. Being in a food court, we weren't necessarily expecting that level of personal attention, which made it even more memorable. Great recommendations, great food, and genuinely great service. This is now a go-to stop anytime we're driving through or shopping nearby. Definitely worth stopping for!
