Charleston Caribbean Creole

This truck was supposed to be at a function I was at tonight and he never showed… no advanced notice, just didn’t show. Now we are trying to serve 60 people frozen pizzas. I’ll never eat this truck’s food again.

OMG!!! Ok I was expecting much as the ‘other’ Caribbean/​Creole food truck left a lot to be desired. I went with the Caribbean Combo plate, first off this is a well portioned platter. I thought I would go platter as it allowed me to have Puerto Rican, Cuban and Jamaican dishes at once. Also, if something wasn’t ‘authentic’ I had the other dishes to fall back on. I’m glad I went this route for two reason. All three flavors complimented each other and all three would have stood very well on there own. Thank you Charleston Caribbean Creole you have a fan in me. Anytime you’re near my office I will be there to patronage your establishment.

I’ve been chasing food trucks lately in hopes of trying a few new-​to-​me trucks, and I caught this one tonight at Craft Conundrum in West Ashley. The menu is pretty extensive on their website, but it also included a few specials and some tacos that I didn’t see on the menu. They truly had a lot of options– everything from gator legs to chicken tenders for the kids. They also have po boys, sandwiches, quesadillas, conch fritters, and hot dogs.
I had the shrimp tacos with sweet potato fries, which were not on the menu on their website. I eat shrimp tacos a LOT so I can be picky about them. These were full of shrimp– every single bite had shrimp in it. They also come topped with a tartar sauce that has jalapeño and dill. I don’t usually eat tartar sauce but this one was great. The sweet potato fries were crispy and also glazed with honey– also my first time having them glazed with honey and it was good. Still not overly sweet and I liked that.
For $ 10, I got 2 tacos and an order of sweet potato fries and left full and happy. It was a great deal for the amount of food I received. If you’re into Caribbean food you won’t be disappointed in this truck.
