It's Thursday -- so JMG Food Truck is on 6th Ave between 53 St and 54 St. I couldn't decide what to eat and didn't want spicy food. The lady recommended the curry chicken platter, which comes with vegetables, plantains and rice and beans (other options: white, yellow or Spanish rice). It was delicious! Sorry, forgot to take a picture. The beef patty is delicious. Flakey crust with perfect amount of beef filling. The coco bread is good too but didn't order it this time. Too bad the truck isn't here more often. read more

One of the best Caribbean food joints around. I love their jerk chicken with Roti. The jerk ch lien has the right amount of spice with heat and the Roti is filled with lentil and smothered with Chana curry (chickpea curry). I have their food truck often the food is always consistent and delicious their patties aware on the sweeter end not particularly my type. But rest assure everything else is a go. Go get your platter! read more

JMG Restaurant & Bakery - Jerk chicken with Roti - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

JMG has some of the best patties I've tasted. The beef, jerk chicken, and especially the veggie patty are superb! Get a side of one of their spicy hot sauces, and it takes them up a few notches in the flavor department. A perfectly flaky and tasty crust with delicious filling...a must try, and two will fill you up. The entrees including the jerk chicken, curry chicken, fried chicken and chicken roti are also excellent options. I am going to have to the curry goat and oxtail one of these days as well since they seem to be popular items ordered by other customers. Besides the patties, I usually opt for a jerk chicken sandwich. All the goodness of the jerk chicken on a bed of greens served on coco bread...delicious! The prices may be a bit steep ($4 - $5 for patties, $10 for most entrees, $7 for the sandwich), but that is actually not bad considering how much food you get and compare it to other trucks that charge more and give you way less. read more

You know it's authentic Jamaican when: 1. They list over 10 types of patties on the menu but when you ask what they have they say "Meh have beef, chicken an' fish". 2. When you ask if the jerk chicken is spicy and you get a side glance and a wicked smile. 3. It comes on a truck. 4. You ask for a menu and you get an old yellowed piece of paper that's seeing the light of day for the first time. I've seen this truck around the neighborhood a few times and I finally stopped to try it out. It's manned by a sweet Jamaican lady who is serving up some very decent food. I got jerk chicken and fish patties, along with a jerk chicken platter. The patties were decent... I found the fish more interesting. The jerk chicken platter was GREAT. The jerk was properly spicy without the need for any added hot sauce, and the plantains and veggies were good. From Mon-Thur they're at 9th St and 7th Ave. Fri-Sun they're at 10th St and 5th Ave. Kudos to them for setting up in this part of town... it's a welcome addition. read more

Delicious beef patty! They got it right! I enjoyed it immensely and didn't even want to wait for it to cool! I didn't try the food but I enjoyed speaking to the lovely chef and will stop by anytime I'm in in the neighborhood. read more

JMG Restaurant & Bakery - My empty bag after I devoured that delicious beef patty! - Food Trucks Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

This is the first restaurant that I have tried in the states where the food tastes exactly like it did back home. I love the beef patties all assortment and especially the fried fish. read more

This review is for their food truck in Tribeca. Used to love this truck until today when I almost choked on a rubber band that was in my curry chicken roti. At $10 the plates are appropriate for the area. However between the fact I ate a rubber band in my food and the patties are $5 a pop I don't think I'll be eating here again...what a shame. read more

Had their oxtail last week and it was delicious. Decided to give curried chicken a try but it was a disaster. Not properly seasoned and no taste. Waste of $10 as I had to throw the chicken away as, in addition, it was not properly cooked. Consistency is key so they need to master this dish. read more

Patty Tease Overall: 4.25 Stars I found this truck on one of my 46th Street (bet 5th & 6th avenue) food truck visits. Never seeing them before I see a reasonably long line and what can be described as highly authentic (is that a thing?) Caribbean menu. Jerk chicken, curry coat and of course oxtail were all pictured on their larger than life menu on the left side. On the ride side of the truck is an overwhelming list of patties from your standard chicken and beef patties to original or obscure patties including crab, shrimp and callaloo. Don't make the same mistake I did and order 3 patties for yourself! You will not regret it until you suffer from the itis. The patties are double the size of your average patty you find at a pushcart or pizzeria. In my haste, I starting eating before taking a picture and continued scarfing them down until there was nothing left but a paper bag and wrappers. I couldn't tell much of a difference between the chicken and the beef, but both were excellent. The fish was very good as well, but a little dry for my tastes. Then again, there was so much cod in the patty I can ignore that small minor insignificant issue. With the quantity and quality they provide, it amazes me that they actually make any profit. 2 patties are more than enough for the average heavy lunch eater. The service is quick and efficient. I just wish they would come back up to 46th street again. I miss their food and loathe anyone lucky enough to be near their regular downtown locations. LOATHE! Ajay R. nailed the true experience of this truck on the head! read more

Their truck was in Lower Manhattan today and tried the Cod Fish patty. Yummay!! The patty was big and enough for a small lunch. I can't wait to try other things from their menu. Thank you for coming into my life!! read more

Dope food. Lit prices. 5/5 every day of the week. Get the gorditas, you'll thank me later.

Best jerk chicken. I look forward to every Friday because they're parked on 46th St and I can go here to pickup a jerk chicken sandwich and usually a patty(which are also great.) Food is very consistent and delicious. Ask for some green sauce on the side - it will melt your face, but you won't be able to stop yourself from having more. read more

Eunace runs this truck and she is the best! I can only comment on the patties, as that's all I get. All are good, but the curry chicken and jerk chicken patties are great! Find her here on the weekend. read more

Order oxtails and yellow rice from the truck and it was the worst food yet...oxtail is using stewed until brown....not here my oxtail was quite pale....chef needs to do better or hire someone else.....really bad for business especially since there are so many other trucks parked alongside Water Street...uno need to do better. read more

The $12 veggie roti and steamed veggies are sumptuous. I enjoy the Friday visits near Columbus Circle & Broadway.

Rude staff, rushed me along when THEY were out of something I wanted to order and I took a sec to decide something else, and overcharged for a SIDE of rice...definitely not going to be a return customer read more
