    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.

    Absolutely delicious!!! We've been driving by their restaurant for years and for some reason we…read morehaven't stopped in. But, now we will of course be heading into their brick and mortar! We were lucky to try multiple dishes during a festival from their food truck and everything was all so tasty, especially the tender meats, seasoned perfectly! The plantains were sweet, hot and hit the spot! Our group of friends shared the chicken jerk tacos and stew which was sensational! The service was also great considering they were very busy! While I was waiting in line I was able to watch the amazing process of putting everything together, rice, etc. This is a wonderful family owned business that creates the best Jamaican food around! I've spent time in the Caribbean and I really appreciate the fact we have a place for such delicious food in Tucson! lol

    Growing up in Miami, we had Jamaican restaurants all over. I never thought I'd find some of the…read moremost delicious curry goat and ackee and salt fish in Tucson of all places! I've you never had Jamaican food, fix that immediately and run to D's Island Grill. - Oxtail Fries: excellent in every sense - Ackee with Salt Fish & Dumplings: a little greasy but so flavorful and cooked to perfection - Curry Goat: fall off the bone perfection - Coco Bread: coconut flavor was a bit more sublime than expected so if you're not a coconut fan, still give this one a try. It's the lightest, fluffiest bread you'll ever taste - Festivals: fried to perfection, not overly sweet and so soo sooo satisfying Service was quick and precise and our to-go box was packed carefully. Cannot wait to be in the area again so we can keep making our way through the menu. Will definitely be back and will bring friends who love ridiculously tasty food!
