Palmanova

This food truck has moved to 5034 Farm to Market 2920, Spring, TX 77388, in front of the gas station. Stopped in the other day to try it out.  I got the jerk leg and thigh, the Jamaican Surprise side, and a rum cake for dessert.  

The jerk chicken was absolutely delicious, a great tangy jerk sauce on tender dark meat. Nice big pieces too, felt like plenty of food.

The Jamaican Surprise is a serving of fried doughballs.  The menu compares them to hush puppies, but I'd say they are more like sourdough (mild) beignets.  Some powdered sugar on them would make a great dessert.  Crunchy outside, tender and chewy in the middle.

The rum cake was a nice finish for the meal.  It was quite dense with a lot of flavor, not too sweet.  Home made and grandma's recipe, according to the proprietor.  Worth a try.

The menu is fascinating and makes me want to come back.  The loaded fries sound very good, and I want to try the cabbage medley.

This is the only Jamaican food in the area, so far as I know.  Fortunately it represents well.  The proprietor is fun to talk to and the food is a great introduction to Jamaican cuisine if you have not tried it before.
