Had a late lunch and missed the $10 Spanish lunch so decided to try a plate of jerk pork from the truck (although they’re pricey). The rice and peas were tough. The beans were significantly undercooked like they rushed the whole pot. The Cabbage and potato salad were good. I had to return to the truck because the jerk pork was shredded and dry as hell. Usually jerk pork is served in chunks smh. When I returned he gave me a juicier piece to try but I know he didn’t give me a fresh order of pork, just threw a few fresher pieces on top. Overall the order of jerk pork was dry and the platter isn’t worth the $20.

Response from the owner

Dear Johanna Valencia <br><br>Thank you for your valuable feedback regarding your recent experience at our establishment. Just to clarify, jerk pork is not $20 you paid $16.99 for a platter and purchased a drink as well. Our Pork is marinated and smoked for 8 to 10 hours which sometimes causes you to get shreds of meat when chopping which is why you can acknowledge that you did get chunks and some pulled pork, this is a normal occurrence and true jerk pork lovers adore it , we are sorry you did not. Also We would never return to you an incorrect order, we gave you a freshly prepared order once you returned with a complaint. Our food is never rushed and cooked with love and our loyal customers know this. Ensuring the accuracy and satisfaction of our customers is a top priority for us, and we take your comments very seriously. Rest assured that we are taking proactive measures to address the issue internally and prevent similar occurrences in the future.<br>We would like to extend our invitation for to come and have your order fully refunded at your earliest convenience, thank you. <br><br>Best regards,<br>Genius/ Simply natural Grill House

Unforgettable Jamaican Street Food Experience in NOHO!<br><br>I recently discovered a hidden gem in NOHO, Manhattan – a Jamaican street food grill that serves the most incredible oxtail and rice. From the moment I approached the vibrant food stand, the tantalizing aroma of authentic Jamaican spices drew me in. Genius greeted us with an amazing, positive energy. He was friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable.<br><br>The oxtail was cooked to perfection – tender, flavorful, and falling off the bone. Paired with perfectly seasoned rice and peas, it was a match made in culinary heaven. The portion size was generous, ensuring great value for money. Every bite transported me straight to the streets of Jamaica.<br><br>If you're in Manhattan and craving authentic Jamaican cuisine, this street food grill is a must-visit. The combination of mouthwatering oxtail, delicious rice, and the lively atmosphere makes it a five-star experience. I can't wait to return and explore more of their menu!

Had the jerk chicken platter. It was delicious. The sidewalk set up is fun and you get to smell the incredible smoke from the smoker while you wait. Absolutely loved it. The service was equally as good as the food. Would recommend.

Drove down from westchester to get this delicious Caribbean food. The food was truly amazing, the drive was absolutely worth it. The service and cook were a pleasure and I would absolutely come back again. The authenticity in the food was unmatched and while we waited it was a relaxing vibe of Caribbean tunes. The mango sauce was delectably flavorful. The portions were more than adequate and the prices were very fair! The chicken was perfect and the oxtails fell off the bone with amazing flavor to Match. The potato salad and cole slaw were delicious. The rice and Mac and cheese were also very tasty. 1000% recommended. A GEM✨

Chicken was falling off the bone. Rice was superb and the barbecue sauce man. Ate it too fast to get a photo of the food it was that good. The owners could not have been nicer and the music was awesome. Worth the minor wait.
