Food is absolutely amazing. Will be returning. Wish there were more oxtails included though/meat on the bone!
Stumbled across this Authentic Jamaican food truck! Tony’s is absolutely delicious. The curry goat and the oxtails were cooked to perfection oxtails falling off of the bone ! We had the beef Pattie’s also and we’re not disappointed . The food is cooked with love! The owners are so sweet and welcoming! We are def going to be regulars here ! Our friends visiting from Houston loved this place ! One hundred percent recommend!
Love this little gem! If you're looking for authentic Jamaican, this is the place to go. Absolutely loved the food. The service was quick and the owners were very kind. I think the atmosphere needs work, maybe some music and more fans for the outdoor seating. Unfortunately, the chairs and tables are either broken or wobbly. Other than that, I highly recommend it. Even if you just go pick up a plate. We had the jerk chicken and oxtail plates with plantains, rice and beans, steamed cabbage. Lastly, the Jamaican sodas are to die for...get you some!
Jerk chicken large plate with rice and beans and cabbage and plantains. With a tropical rhythm fruit punch delicious
Incredible authentic Caribbean/Jamaican cuisine right in the heart of Austin. Great portion sizes. Made me feel like I was back home. Will be visiting again and again and again
We got the combo of curry goat and jerk chicken for $21. The combo could feed 2 (not very hungry) people with great satisfaction. Everything on our plate tasted amazing and balanced well with each other. I particularly loved the goat meat because it’s so tender, falling off the bones and melting in my mouth. Will come back to try more things!
Ordered a Large Jerk Chk with Rice/ p with Cabbage and sweat plantains. Service was acurate on pick up time. Only down fall is the employee working the window of the food truch isnt really pleasent. Besides that location and food is good.
I like to travel and eat different things, and this place had good vibes and good food. It was worth the 1hr drive. Will be going back but with friends.
Have you tried authentic Jamaican food before? Check this out! I got the oxtail and jerk chicken combo plate. What is jerk chicken? Jerk refers to a style of cooking where the meat is rubbed in spices such as allspice (think pimento) and Scotch bonnet peppers (think habanero) and cooked over a wood fire. The result is a rich, smokey flavor with a kick.
Addtionally, this was my first time having oxtail. Oxtail is similar to a beef short rib, but it’s more tender and has a more “silky” gelatinous texture. What’s interesting about the history of oxtail is that it used to be primarily a working-class cut of meat, but recently has became popularized and has now been promoted as “gourmet” thus increasing the price along with it (as well as supply and demand since cattle only have one tail, obv).
This combo comes with rice & beans as well as sweet fried plantain. Fried plantain is a favorite of mine and when fried and eaten with the smokey meats, provides for a great light contrast.
All in all, I enjoyed this dish a lot. Very interesting and unique way of cooking!
I've been to the restaurant and the food truck and I have to say the service, food, quality and even portions are consistent across the board. I actually got to meet Tony himself who hooked me up AFTER the sold out sign was posted which is so rare to find these days... common decency and customer service! I appreciate everyone apart of Tony's but especially Tony for making this all happen! You really cannot go wrong with any dish but my favorites are the curry goat and stew chicken!
A friend of mine kept mentioning this place to me, and I just happened to be in the area today, so decided to stop over at this particular food truck, and give it a try. My mother was born, and raised, in Jamaica. Fortunately for me, growing up in New York, I have fond memories of my mother's cooking, from ox tail to curry goat, I fell in love with Jamaican food from my first bite. At Tony's Jamaican Food, I ordered the ox tail meal, and coco bread. Delicious! The food was so good that I forgot to take a picture in the beginning, before I started chowing down on my meal, but I was still able get a couple of good picks to post on here. The rice is cooked in coconut milk, the meat falls off the bone, and the plantain is just mouth watering. I will definitely be back for the great food, vibe and wonderful staff. Five stars. Highly recommended.
The oxtails were delicious! They were flavorful and moist and their juice had a little hint of spice to it which I really enjoyed. This was my first visit and I will return.
I loved the food! All their combos come with delicious plantain, rice and peas, and veggies on the side. Seating was clean and music was blasing nicely from the food truck park area.✊🏽✊🏽💝💝
Loved my purchase of curry chicken. It had a bit of everything: rice, plantain, veggies, and delicious curry chicken. You're the best Tony!!
