Tried the Jerk Chicken taco combo. The highlight were the fries they were fresh and hot. You could tell it was made with clean oil. The tacos were a bit lacking with the flavor however I forgot to ask for spicy so maybe that was the issue. The combo is definitely filling but hat is due to the fries. You only get 2 tacos and not too much meat in them. Still good food! No dining area or table is a downside.

I asked for no tomatoes on my tacos, and my tacos had an insane amount of tomatoes (pictured), I could not unfortunately eat them as I can’t eat tomatoes. The poutine was okay, and the chicken bites were frozen chicken nuggets in sauce. Will not be returning even though I used to enjoy this truck when it was on Merivale.

Regular size jerk chicken poutine $11 + tax. Very filling! Lovely flavor and mild spice. Large can serve 2. Fries on the soggier side.
