Iwayne's Caribbean Kitchen

Iwayne catered food for my mom's 80th birthday and the food was an instant success. The guest was from Texas, New York and Barbados, the compliments were coming all night. Iwayne food is authentic Caribbean Jamaican food and the owner is courteous, polite, humble and professional to everyone he meets. His food is so good that it reminds me of my late grandmother cooking. Iwayne the place to go for authentic Jamaican food. Grade I A+++ for the owner and the food.

This gem is tucked away off of 290 in Manor. If you live in Manor or are passing through, do not miss this food truck. Iwayne's food is made to order so everything is fresh. And considering the freshness of the food, the service is very quick. We were on the way to Houston and stopped by here for a quick bite. It's nestled in a food truck lot so we waited in the car while our order was being prepared. The beef patty was flaky and tasty. The Rasta pasta was a very generous size and it was perfectly seasoned with the perfect kick. I am a big fan. Once again, don't miss this place!

I cannot explain how amazing these oxtails were. It was hard to choose between this and the curry goat so I'll have to come back for that. I ate this up so fast it was embarrassing! I loveeeee the cabbage and finished that first . I put some of the oxtail juice on the rice while I ate the oxtail and oooooooo it was too good. I finished the entire plate so sadly no left overs for me. Thank you so mucchhhh.

I admit that I don't have a lot of experience with Jamaican cuisine. That said, I do enjoy the flavor profiles of Iwayne's Caribbean Kitchen. The menu seems very authentic although I'll have to defer to others in the know as to whether it's the real thing or not. We tried the jerk chicken and the curry chicken. Both dishes were cooked properly to an appropriate doneness and were not overly spicy. Each was accompanied by rice and plantains. The plantains were perhaps the highlight for me, golden crispy yet tender enough to enjoy.Suffice it to say, the food is decent. However, I don't find myself craving it enough to think about the next visit. The food isn't bad, but it isn't great in my opinion-just good.

Wow! Wow! Wow! I am so excited that this restaurant exists. The festivals were amazing; warm, crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. It was the perfect texture. Also this restaurant had the best beef patties I have tasted in Austin. The pastry was flaky and the filling was so flavorful.We also got the jerk chicken which was flavorful. I didn't really like the bbq sauce but it was still okay.Their sides were good. Mac and cheese was decent and the cabbage was excellent!We will definitely be ordering from this place again! The food tasted so authentic!

I was on a road trip and stopped by, I was super excited when I saw there was a Jamaican food truck nearby. I ordered the jerk chicken, curry chicken, and goat and all were amazing. The meat was nice and flavorful and would literally just would fall off the bone. The owner was very hospitable and explained the menu nicely. I would 10/10 recommend going here!

Iwayne's Caribbean Kitchen is an incredible find! Even though we arrived close to closing time, Iwayne was kind enough to fire up the grill for us, offering amazing hospitality.We ordered the stew chicken, rice and peas, and plantains, and every dish was absolutely delicious. The stew chicken was perfectly tender and full of flavor, the rice and peas were seasoned just right, and the plantains were sweet and cooked to perfection.If you're looking for fantastic Caribbean food, this is the place. We enjoyed every bite and can't wait to come back!

I got the Rasta Pasta and I gotta say these guys are killing it :) very nice and humble people. Relaxing atmosphere and the portion sizes are big. A+ will be eating here again.

Came here for a late lunch on Sunday and this place did not disappoint. My husband and I ordered the jerk chicken and goat curry with rice and plantains along with a beef patty. The goat curry melted in my mouth, it was perfectly seasoned and had a slight kick to it. Not only was it delicious there was plenty of boneless goat meat.The jerk chicken had a nice char and flavor to it but the star of this show are the sauces. I'm unsure of the names of them but both of them were fantastic. The darker colored one had a smoky flavor and helped to emphasize the tenderness of the chicken. The yellow sauce was a spicy tropical fruit mix that I'm convinced will go well with almost anything. I'm unsure if he sells larger containers of these sauces but I would highly recommend buying some if he does.The beef Patty was out of this world. The pastry was light and flaky and had a nice flavor on its own. The beef inside was perfectly spiced and super tender. The rice and peas and plantains are both good.The owner kindly offered us some homemade drinks he made called the siren. It's a spiced punch that is good on its own or would make a great mixer for any drinks. If he has any when you visit make sure to get a glass. Between the amazing food and friendly service you would be doing Yourself a disservice by not treating your tastebuds to this delicious food.

I've come back twice in the same week I found this truck. Food is great, good portions, he works fast and surprisingly the location isn't too busy- I've only seen one person working the truck in the times I've visited. I'm from Atlanta, and since being in Texas it's been hard to find good Jamaican food. But he does the damn thing, I'll be here weekly.
