Allan's Jerk Shack

I am always impressed with the food from Allan's. I usually eat from the food truck when it comes to my apartment and I get the same thing every time - curry chicken with fries and rice & peas (pictured below). They hook you up with a box of delicious food that tastes home cooked and made with love. You know it's going to be good when the box is leaking a little hahahaha. The price is great for how much food you get AND the service is friendly :)

Oviedo on the Park occasionally has mega food truck events that invite in dozens and dozens of food trucks to come and vie for our patronage. I love these events, and I try to never miss one. A recent one we had had Allan's Jerk Shack, and it instantly caught my eye. This brightly colored school bus would catch anyone's eye. I browsed the menu, and it was really simple, which I love. No frill. Which means the food was probably really good. I ordered the curry chicken with two sides, the mac salad and the rice & beans. Oh man, it was delicious. Tender, fall off the bone meat that was very well seasoned. I like to get all the meat off the bone immediately and mix it all up with the rice. The rice and beans were very well seasoned. Well-cooked. No issues. The mac salad was pretty interesting. It was like a combination of mac 'n' cheese and the mac salad you find at Publix. Which doesn't sound great, but it was great. It was nice and bright and added a little moisture to the whole meal. I liked it. Overall, I'm very glad I chose Allan's. The meal was a great value, and I will probably come back to try his other meats the next time I see him in Oviedo.

Pros:I'm glad that they came all the way to Oviedo for our food truck night. Not a lot of Caribbean food trucks around town. It's good to see something different rather than the usual stuff. The "truck" is a giant blue school bus. Talk about eye-catching. Lol.Cons:Maybe it was to cater to a more mild clientele, but I felt like there was lack of seasoning. I have had curry chickens before that blew my socks off. This one was just a little lacking. Tips:Get the rice and beans as a side. It was actually seasoned pretty nicely. Not spicy. Just with flavor.

I really wanted to live this place based off the reviews. The jerk pork and jerk chicken was not seasoned or jerked. It tasted spoiled and not fresh. The mac n cheese was in a weird fried block but it was tasty. The curry chicken was great. Nice jerk sauce sent with food

Allan's Jerk Shack is my go to spot when I want some good jerk Chicken. They also do a great job of catering any size event.

Every place that I've visited so far around the city, Allan's Holds a taste of Jamaica food and vibes that's nice.Rosey

I really love their jerk Chicken and Fried Mac N Cheese. The Oxtails are great also.
