Huge plates for even their smalls.. A jerk chicken w rice and peas and a corn on the cob for only $7.. Never had a bad meal here. Jerk Pork is amazing, jerk chicken amazing.. Make sure to ask em to throw some sauce all around it if you like it real spicy. They make it in a PIT (the way you're supposed to lol)..All I gotta say is this is some of the best jerk chicken I've had in my life, and they hook it up. This place'll be real famous in like 3-6 months tops, mark my words bii read more

Roadside grill with fantastic jerk chicken and pork, specials that can include curry and oxtail, and if you call ahead, steamed fish. Their rice and peas is a favorite side, and the Mac and cheese is also good. I've picked up dinner here several times now, and they never disappoint! read more

But today I just felt for pork- and when it arrived still hot, Smokey and super juicy, man it just hit extra different! Couldn't even make it to the table I stood at the kitchen counter eating.

OMG! This is by far the best Caribbean food iPad anywhere in Miami. I've had the jerk chicken, ox tail, macaroni and cheese, rice and beans and the fish. Everything was so delicious. Even though I don't make it to this part a town that often, I'll make a special trip to go here any day the week that I am craving some real Caribbean food! It's a food truck not in the fancy part of town but by far the best food you can find. And not expensive. If you need some real Jamaican style goodness, this is the place to go. Come here you will not be disappointed! read more

The order is written down self explanatory, don't rush my order and get it incorrect because you have clients in front of you.

Not too bad, not to good...average! Tonight was my first experience. The wait time was pretty quick averaging less than 10 minutes. I ordered the Ribs with two sides for $10. Great price and you get a lot for your buck. (They were out of a lot of sides however, so I had no choice but to chose the corn on the cobb and mac & cheese) I read the reviews before going and they were pretty spot on. To be honest, the ribs are just like any other average street vendor's ribs not bad but not great either. If you are craving ribs then this place will do just fine. If you are craving GREAT ribs on the other hand, please keep looking! The corn on the cobb was just as expected. The mac & cheese was dry/blain and needed seasoning or salt/pepper. Again not bad, just not good either. I would come again if Im craving ribs and in the area but that's about it. Don't get your hopes up Miami folks I still haven't found the holy grail of ribs! read more

Smoked Brisket- moist, perfect flavor, hearty portion, tender and high quality meat. Comes with great sauce, which I didn't use since it was so perfect as is. 2. Smoked Baby Back Ribs- Another hit with healthy portion, great flavor, and super meaty. Honestly, just hard to stop eating it! 3. Baked Beans with Brisket- A true meal unto itself! I could've stopped here! Tons of brisket ground into the beans, almost like the best "chili" ever. Flavor is sophisticated smokiness, not the usual sugary sweet restaurant rendition. Yay! 4. Potato salad is FIRE! Fresh perfectly cooked tender white potatoes, cooked carrots & peas add just enough interest and a magical a touch of mayo. Yes please. 5. 12 hour smoked Flan-STAR * of the show, the flan of my dreams! Staff insisted this flan is all that and they are correct! It's LEGIT. We left with a doggie bag, so worth it. Price was for real, you pay for quality. $74, but we brought plenty home. You could get by with a meal for two around $50-60, if you need.

Per my usual attitude my first time somewhere, I wanted to try several items. The owner was super nice and gave multiple suggestions.

The green bean salad comes in one size as an add-on. Okay first, the owner is clearly magic, because there isn't a grill in sight. I had no intention of ordering wings, but these are seriously the best wings I've had anywhere, in a long time (100/10). The rice and beans (10/10), and the rice smelled like it came from abuelita's kitchen. The slaw, oh my goodness (100/10), so simple, and yet perfect! I thought the chips were unnecessary . . . NOT!
