"King Jerk does not taste like the rest of the jerk chicken on this guide. The chicken coming from this Opa-locka food truck tastes more like Southern barbecue, very smoky and a little sweet. You can taste some whispers of jerk—maybe a little allspice, thyme, and garlic hanging out in the background—but don’t expect a big jerk punch like you might get with other versions. Yet, while we were considering whether or not to call this jerk chicken, we looked down at our plate and realized we ate the whole thing in like 47 seconds. Because whatever you want to call it or not call it, it’s incredibly juicy, flavorful, and just really, really good chicken." - ryan pfeffer

"King Jerk is a North Miami food truck in the parking lot of a tire shop. They do jerk chicken here, and even though it tastes more like a Southern barbecue-style chicken, it’s still very good. Get a side of mac and cheese and you’ll be in for a very good meal you’ll probably eat way too fast." - Ryan Pfeffer

If you’re ever in Miami and craving authentic Jamaican food, King Jerk is an absolute must-visit! Every time we come to Miami, this is one of our go-to spots — and for good reason. We’ve been here multiple times and the quality, flavor, and hospitality never disappoint. We ordered the oxtail with rice and beans, with cabbage on the side, and it was nothing short of amazing. The oxtail was fall-off-the-bone tender, rich in flavor, and seasoned to perfection. The gravy soaked beautifully into the rice and beans, making every bite packed with deliciousness. The cabbage was fresh and well-cooked, with just the right amount of crunch and seasoning to balance out the meal. What really stands out about King Jerk is the consistency. Each visit, the food tastes just as incredible as the last — something that’s rare to find these days. The portions are generous, the service is friendly, and the vibe is chill and welcoming. Whether you’re a local or just visiting, you’ll feel right at home. If you love Caribbean food or simply want to try something flavorful and satisfying, don’t miss out on this gem. King Jerk is a place we’ll keep coming back to — every single time we’re in Miami!

The Quick (a few words): King Jerk Food Truck is delicious, Jamaican/Caribbean-inspired, and located in North Miami. I ordered the Rib Lunch (Ribs, Cabbage, Red Beans, and Rice) and the Curry Chicken (Yellow Curry/Curry Chicken with Red Beans and Cabbage). The portions were great, and I will definitely be back. The Dirty (a bunch of words): Look. This is food is better than good. The ribs were tender and juicy, but not soft. The sauces are perfect pairings and fully seasoned. Nothing watered down about King Jerk Food Truck at all. Their flavors are delicious. The plates are as beautiful as their service and accents. I was immediately happy I chose to eat here because of how I was greeted. I’d tried to make it here twice before and arrived just in time to see them putting away the clean dishes around 9:40pm both times. My mouth had watered ever since. When I finally got them ribs y’all. I couldn’t help but sing Montell Jordan, “This is how we do it.” I smacked my lips and laughed out loud. I'd needed this so bad. 🤤. I didn’t even tell my landlord about his plate. I ate the chicken too. 😂🤦‍♀️. And mannnnnn. You have to eat here. That’s all. 🏃🏾

I always drove by this place and decided give it a try. It did not disappoint as the food was well prepared and delicious. The jerk chicken and ribs, lunch specials were some best food I had in Miami. Highly recommended.

I ordered an oxtail plate as you can see from the receipt and look at what i received! a mf plate full of meat. now who realistically wants a plate full of meat instead of a plate with 2 sides. and yall dont want to answer the phone. the plate aint nothing but bone and fat. it would b zero stars if i could. but i will b disputing with my bank. thank you for nothing mwah!

The best Jamaican food I’ve ever had. The staff was very friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back when I’m in the area. I had a shrimp dinner with mac and cheese, and baked beans. It was a very generous portion at a great price.
