Food Trucks in Jersey City

Jersey City Food Trucks

Jersey City might be small in size but it's big in feel! Home to nearly three hundred thousand residents and even more workers, this mini metropolis across the Hudson swells on weekdays to accommodate thousands of private and public sector jobs. Public transportation options are copious here and forty percent of the local population doesn't own a car. Many prominent businesses call Jersey City home: the proximity to NYC is second to none and rent is a bit cheaper. In this fast moving diverse community lunch on the go has always been a necessity. The Jersey City food truck scene here evolved from that need, but nowadays you can find quality options morning, noon and night. Plenty of authentic international fare here too, some of the best food trucks are: the Jerkin Chicken truck which has that real Jamaican jerk seasoning and premium side dishes too, and Casa Cubana which has a huge menu of amazing Cuban plates and sandwiches. If you've never tried Ropa Vieja or Lechon (Cuban Roast Pork) it's time. A plethora of great food truck choices await you here in JC!

Food was really good but I feel like communication with the manager can use improvement. I had to reach out the night before to confirm when they'd be arriving to set up and there was miscommunication regarding the dessert option that I didn't find out until the day of the event. The order should have included an entrée, side, dessert and drink but there was no dessert served day of. They were aware that I had inquired about the dessert and specifically mentioned what we wanted served. I'm not sure where the misunderstanding happened, but I feel they should have reach out to confirm the menu options if they were unsure/unable to serve the dessert option. Again, the food was great and the staff was friendly but for how much was paid there should have been better communication.

When ordering, the description of the Chicken sandwich meal said it included fries and a drink. However when I went to pick up my order they stated it did not come with a drink. I received a text message that my order was ready, however I waited 10 minutes for my order when I arrived, then when I received it did not come with fries so I had to wait again and it did not come with bbq sauce when they said it was on the bottom.

Amazing food as always! Now I even get orders from friends and invite them to grab lunch at Deaderick. Always the best vibe.

The burrito is amazing, I have to have it every time I'm in the office on Thursdays. I just got my coworker hooked on them too and he even went to culinary school. It's just that good! Perfect size, perfect ingredients, don't change a thing!

The first time I tried Shula's was a gift in a Sun City's clinic. I loved it, now every time I know they visit us in the community, I get my dinner from them. Great taste guys!

Great plantains and ropa vieja. Website menu said it was Cali steak but I like ropa vieja more. Y'all might wanna update the online menu to note that, and that the burritos don't come with plantains inside

food was outstanding! Yum! My only downside is that I ordered rice and I got lettuce. It was still good though. ❤️
