    Coconut curry, tofu with cabbage salad and rice and beans

    10 out of 10! Delicious! Photo 1 is curry, coconut tofu with beans rice & cabbage salad, photo 2 jerk pork with beans rice & cabbage salad, photo 3 is jerk chicken tenders & Mac & cheese. Not pictured so good was the sparkling grapefruit juice Ting & tropical rhythms guava carrot juice. M & J Jamaican kitch'n is a Brand new brick & mortar restaurant at 4694 cottage grove rd Madison. East side. So freaking delicious and fresh. The owner's husband painted & decorated the inside so beautifully it's brilliantly painted in a Jamaican color scheme with beautiful artwork everywhere. It's hard to believe you are still in Madison when you walk in. The drink selection is impressive because the juices and sodas are from Jamaica. The couple that owns it are so friendly. It's my new favorite place to eat. It does have a smaller menu but they said they are going to expand it. I think it's just a great place

    Best Jerk Chicken I've had in a long time! I love Jerk and have missed it since Jamerica closed.

    I visited Luang Prabang, a Lao-Thai cart on Library Mall, a few times earlier this year. They had a…read moreregular menu that included curries, noodles, and salads, but also a rotating daily menu, all at very affordable prices. The people working at the cart were really nice and accommodating, and were happy to modify any dish they could for ingredients that you can't or don't eat. The first thing I tried was the squash curry, which was a really generous portion size for $7, consisting of rice topped with a rich coconut milk-based curry filled with chicken, kabocha, and zucchini. It was really filling and tasty. But the real winner from the cart after a few visits was the avocado spring roll, which was $3.50 and the size of a burrito. It was basically a giant fresh roll filled with avocado, lettuce, cabbage, mint, rice noodles, cucumber, carrot, and peanut sauce. We got the medium spicy sauce, and it had a fantastic kick to it. Still can't believe something so large was only a few dollars, as it was such a great deal. Definitely worth trying this cart if you're looking for something to eat on campus.

    Spring rolls the size of a full grown guinea pig!…read more Ask for it spicy. If that not enough, you can choose from their all encompassing menu of curry, papaya salad, or pad Thai! I love seeing the sweet owner every time I visit.

    I could eat lunch here everyday for the rest of my life, and I am probably well on my way to doing…read morejust that. I was not sure to just review the carts individually, but like the Madison Farmers Market, I believe the whole collection of vendors is part of the experience. The food carts are all placed on the space between the Library and the University Bookstore. Lunch in an outdoor setting and fantastic people watching, occasionally even music. One of the best days I had last summer was accidentally coming across a mariachi band while hunting for lunch. And I never tire of the food. I can sample a new meal each day without trouble. By the time I go through everything available, a new cart is usually up and running and testing out the waters. The longest lines are always at Buraka, Jamerica, and Sukhothai (when they are there). Which is fine, because I can get lunch quickly at my favorites the Local Stanley or FIB's. FIB's used to serve a meatball sandwich with balls the size of oranges. They've reduced them to the size of golf balls, which makes lunch slightly disappointing but is probably better for my arteries. Be warned, currently the Library Mall has gaping hole across most of it where water main work is being done. And campus construction projects always last a long time, making a crowded space far more crowded.

    The new Library Mall isn't all that different from when I was a student, but I'm excited for all…read morethe kids who finally know what the mystery object under the metal cone is - it's a fountain! Classes of UW students have graduated without ever seeing it, and when the weather warms up they can finally enjoy food cart heaven with a lovely water feature view. Lighting is significantly brighter at night now, and the little standing tables they've installed are great for when you want to enjoy your food cart fare without having to balance it on your own lap. In the evenings you might happen across a drum circle, fire dancers, or passionate students gathering for their cause of choice. It's a convenient way to cut through campus, connecting the Memorial Union to Memorial Library and out through to the southeast dorms and State Street. If you've spent any significant amount of time on campus, you've also likely spent a significant amount of time walking through library mall. Looking forward to the grass regrowing as the lawn is a nice spot for catching some midday sunshine!
