Some history about my influence and desire about D's Island Grill: It was years ago when I first heard about Jamaican cuisine off of a tv program that most people are probably aware of: Anthony Bourdain - No Reservations, when Mr. Bourdain no doubt went to Jamaica and poetically mysticized on the aspect of Jamaica and its unique, extraordinary cuisine. From there, I HAD to find out what this was all about and then remembered about this food truck that served Jamaican food just north of the corner off Broadway and Wilmot. The food truck had been in that location FOR YEARS, and I remember passing it by constantly for the longest time, long before I was ever interested in trying Jamaican, or food trucks for that matter. Coincidentally, as soon as I tried it out, D's food truck was forced to move out of its location and seek prosperity elsewhere - which ended up someplace off Grant Rd. and then moved around periodically though I honestly could never make it out that way because it was always a stretch from the main parts of town I always frequent (but the flavors of this food never left my mind!) I've no idea if they still run their food truck business any more or not since it's been quite some time I've sought it out but that didn't matter when I happened to stop by in a plaza off Country Club & Ft. Lowell, when I noticed there was a landmark D's Island Grill... And so we jump to about two months from today where I discovered that D's food truck now finally has a solid location to hit for some SERIOUSLY delicious jerk chicken, curry goat and mouth watering beef patties. Make no mistake, these three items from the rest of their menu are dangerously delicious! With that said, they're a bit spicy: not overwhelmingly so, but enough for you to say and believe: "Wow, okay. NOW I know what Jamaican food's all about!" Heck, try anything on their menu and find something you DON'T like, I dare you! And don't be surprised if you find yourself addicted to this food. You take a bite of this stuff, any of it, and you'll be well on your way to being educated on some of the most tastiest food you've yet to try. I can't imagine anyone who couldn't like this stuff! Flavor packed, cooked to perfection, all of it handled with the utmost love and care by cooks who truly believe that what they have to offer is something really special. They might not say so as openly as I might, but it is what it is! They've only held this little restaurant operation for a few months now but they've got a track record of delicious food and service which has yet to disappoint! No lie! Check out their reviews from their food truck biz and you'll see exactly what I'm talking about. I'm sending my love out this way directly because people need to know that this is the real deal, and not something you should accidentally pass up! Easily one of the best places for food in Tucson, hands down! Now get on down there and get yourself a beef patty, and a plate of something incredible!"
