The couple that runs this food truck are amazing and so is their food. I've been eating this delicious Jamaican cuisine for years now. The ackee, calaloo and salt fish just happens to be my favorite combination with food (root vegetables/ banana) of course. Their porridge is wow. Their soups are superb. I can never purchase just one dish. Go visit them, you won't regret it. read more

Delicious food and great service. I got the jerk chicken with plantains, and it was amazing.

This place is a true Gem on wheels. The patties are made fresh and the Rasta pasta is cooked to order. I had to go back for this dish because it's BOMB and so are his beef Pattie's. Keep in mind this dish is sold only on the weekends, not including Fridays. I had to learn that the hard way. However, he does fish fries on Fridays which is excellent to know as well. Once again awesome customer service and great food!!!! read more

Ochio Island Grill - Chicken and shrimp Rasta pasta! - Food Trucks Near Me - Homestead, Florida

I found the Ochio food truck while I was in town for a night, it was late and not many places were open. Checked a few pictures and reviews then drove to the parking lot where this vibrantly decorated truck was located. The menu is packed with the fundamental Jamaica dishes: Jerk/curry /brown stew chicken, beef patties etc. The jerk chicken was decent but I wanted a more low and slow smoky flavor. However, it did satisfy the craving for some Jamaican food. The curry shrimp was better. There was good flavor and the shrimp was cooked perfectly. The owner of the truck is welcoming, informative and proud of the food he prepares. Definitely worth a stop. read more

Hands down the best Jamaican food in the area. No one compares to the detail and cleanliness this duo provides this far down south that I know of. I've tried a few items off the menu, the oxtails, soups chicken and I was satisfied and happy with each plate. They aren't stingy with their portions and the flavor and uniqueness of Jamaican cuisine is always incorporated, they don't skip the corners on the ingredients and Americanize their dishes. The service is relatively fast and they accept pick up orders and are on door-dash I believe. I like how they mix up the menu and every day they offer a different special. read more

When I tell you that, I am a very picky particular person, especially from food trucks. Hands-down, Mr. Troy is such a nice person, and so accommodating especially with my son that is severely allergic to shellfish. The food is fresh and delicious so authentic. It honestly feels like it's a home-cooked meal made with love. They're super clean and extremely etiquette. I will be showing love and support to this black owned Jamaican business, now that I found a little gem down south. I will be a loyal customer that's for sure. You won't regret it yall!!! read more

If you are finally looking for authentic, hand-crafted, using quality ingredients Jamaican Caribbean food in the Naranja, Homestead, & yes Florida City area, then this is it! Proprietor chef Troy is the head of this masterful operation. He brings 30+ plus years in the food service industry from 10 years cooking on a cruise ship while travel to various Caribbean Islands to setting roots in the Maryland area cooking top government officials to the numerous law enforcement agencies. Chef Troy personally told me during my visit, "Mr. James Coney loves my Curry chicken!" I said, "Wow!" I then ordered Brown Stewed Chicken, Curry Chicken, Beef Patties, coconut rice, and his Steamed Cabbage. Everything was spectacular! He also makes fresh Juice! I didn't expect anything less, so I ordered a tall cup of Sorrel (Hibiscus or Jámaica in Spanish). Perfect, not too sweet, watered down and full of flavour and Caribbean spices. The food trailer is always parked in the parking lot (between Auto Zone & All Uniform Wear) and is easily accessible with canopy covered seating and Caribbean music. Almost as important to the quality and taste of the food, is their service and personality. The service was great but their approachability was excellent. My wife and I started talking with chef Troy and his wife which grew to about a half an hour conversation. We discussed his philosophy and approach to his style of cooking. He gave his cooking pedigree background and we explained to him our flavour profiles. He offered to us personalised veggie dishes; and he made my wife a great off-the-menu dish on our second visit. How many chefs truly go out of their routine to accommodate new customers? Great chefs! Everyone must come by and give Ochio Island Grill a chance to win over your taste buds. Tell chef Troy that John aka Chefpolice recommended him! Enjoy. read more

I passed this truck a few times in US1 and finally decided to stop last night. The food was fantastic! The beef patties were flaky and packed with filling and the food tasted fresh, even though they were about to close. Aside from the food, the owner was unbelievably kind and welcoming. During these hard times, it's important to support small businesses, and this one is definitely worth the stop! read more

I was craving a Jamaican patty and I didn't want to drive to Kendall as I normally would. When I got there he was helping another gentleman and whatever he was packing for him looked so delicious I had to ask what it was, it was a fried rice with chicken, steak and shrimp. I thought about getting it but I was having an early dinner that day and just really wanted that Jamaican patty. I also noticed they had conch fritters, I needed that too lol. Both items were prepared when I ordered them, they were nice and warm. The patty had a bit of a tang to it but not too spicy, the conch fritters had a lot of conch. 10/10. Their located at a parking lot, they have tables as well and the area is very clean as well. If you're in Homestead and craving amazing Jamaican food this is it! read more

Delicious Jamaican food! It curbs my craving! They recently moved their food truck further out from the Naranja location, but it's worth the drive. The curry goat is my fave and I've tried that with coco bread. I'd prefer a for more pieces of plantains for the sweet /spicy combo, but they give nice size portions and it fills you up. The owners are very nice and personable and I will definitely keep coming back. read more

No joke. The best service in the homestead area. The food is authentic and tasty. Also very easy to find.

My husband bought home some of their jerk Pork and OMG it's DELICIOUS!! I ate it all from him. I'm hooked now and crave it everyday. Going back tomorrow and the next day I just can't stop Eating it it's so amazing. I normally don't eat jerk anything but this jerk pork is too good to pass up. TRUST me you won't be disappointed. Customer service was a plus too.. man just thinking of it is making my mouth water maybe I shouldn't tell how good it is because then everyone will catch on and they will sell out of it so glad this truck opened by me. Hopefully they start a delivery service tho so I can just stay home and order it. Couldn't post a picture like I normally do because I ate it all before I thought of the picture read more

We stumbled on a rainy Sunday with a craving for Jamaican Jerk Chicken in Homestead Florida onto what is for sure one of the best ever Jerk Jamaican meals my wife have I eaten including the many in Jamaica itself! What an outstanding surprise. We took home a jerk chicken and also a jerk pork meal combo. The meats were smoked and absolutely mouth watering. The slaw veggies, super tasty and the brown rice with peas and red beans again, DElicious. All for $25!! Two hungry adults could not finish so we have in the fridge for a lunch tomorrow. They have nice tables outside with umbrellas so we could have sat even that it was pouring. The best thing about this phenomenal score was the owner Troy and fine lady next to him, Flor. We even had the pleasure of speaking to his big brother Kevin who was also ordering next to us. This was so like being right there in Jamaica, so friendly. Troy obviously has some serious chef skills and he exudes love for his preparations, his immaculately clean truck and his guests who they all honor with welcome cheer and amazing food. This hidden gem is worth a drive from Broward or the Keys! It's a destination eatery that, for us, will surely bring us back again and again. Just look for the Jamaica flags, just north of Spitzer Dodge. On the east side of US1 at 30005 S. Dixie Hwy. a few yard south of the Autozone on the west side of US1. You'll be really glad you did. read more

I wasn't sure what to expect... I've gone to several Jamaican spots around the way and some have not been good! The food was great. We had Ackee& salt fish, curry goat and the oxtail.

I was pretty excited to try this new food truck. A few friends of mine told me good things about it. On my way home from work, I stopped by for oxtails to go. Boy, it was so greasy. The oxtails weren't trimmed. It was cooked and served with all the fat. I was disappointed. read more
