We got garlic buffalo, lemon pepper, mango habanero, and sweet red chili. With the exception of a few pieces, most of these pieces were larger than your normal size wing, which is a steal for only $1. I would say my favorite flavors were the mango habanero and the lemon pepper. They have a few tables if you would like to eat there as well. I wish they gave us a 3rd ranch tho

It comes with amazing homemade sauce (cocktail or tartar), however it does not need any sauce bc the garlic butter Parmesan seasoning is amazing. We also love the coconut shrimp & the sauce is equally delicious! Shrimp coleslaw is good too. A little pricy for the size, but you do get a shrimp in every bite so 100% worth a try if you haven't had it before. Service is good - it's a good truck so you just order, wait & dive into the deliciousness. There are ample picnic tables (with shade cover) to eat on site, or take it to go.

Okay cool, we decided to take a little walk up the sidewalk to about The Spot, came back and it was about 20 minutes to be told it would be at least another 20 minutes and that they haven't started it yet. Then when we asked for a refund they wanted to start making a big deal about it instead of understanding that they haven't started the food and it shouldn't have been an issue. So we finally got it in cash after a disagreement. Would be willing to come back and try it to actually rate the food.

So happy to have found this place after a late night at Kemah we were hungry and not much was open…read moreso late. This place is in the area where the locals live. Almost across from the cemetery, kinda cool. It is a very small outdoor space with a food truck and some picnic tables. The entire space is covered in potted trees and plants of all kinds. Hence the jungle name. There were locals and regulars seated in one table and gave a sense of comfort, kind of like in the movies when the lost tourist goes to a little food shack and has the best times with the locals. Any who there is what appears to be a nightclub next door inside a building that looks like a house with plenty bouncers. They sell canned sodas and their menu is pretty standard. I always go for regular tacos so I can really get a sense of what the rest of the menu tastes like. These were real tasting street tacos. Tiny double stacked corn tortillas to hold the meat that is generously placed in the taco. I ordered barbacoa. I gotta say although the portion of the meats are generous I feel like they don't mix the meat with cachete which is crucial to get a soft meat that melts in your mouth. This meat looked soft but took me quite an uncomfortable amount of time to chew. Kind of like one of my kids who spits out his meat if it is not chewable. The taste was authentic and the salsas a bit on the watery side but its actually spicy as it should be. I did talk to the owner about his setup with all the greenery and he was super nice and was very welcoming. If you do end up here just remember this is a tropical area with mosquitos that thrive here so come prepared. They did have a mosquito repellent available to use which came inn very handy because the mosquitos were definitely feasting. Maybe a fan directed at the tables would help keep the mosquitos away.

I order a mangonada and the nacho fries. My nacho fries were topped with brisket, chipotle sauce, cilantro, corn, and avocado sauce. Looked and tasted great. The mangonada wasn't as solid as I liked. It was more like a juice than the smoothie consistency that I was expecting, but it tasted fine. Make sure you get plenty of tajin and chamoy! I really enjoyed the nachos and they came out hot. I love when my food comes to me hot! There are a couple of benches around the truck which are a nice spot to spend a spring afternoon.

Servers are friendly but a bit slow in service. Good prices are very reasonable and the food is good. Fish was a bit overdone and needed a little seasoning. Also you have to watch the fish bones when eating. They have a great variety of drinks served in cool Mexican pottery cups. Definitely will return and recommend you check them out.
