Reviewed 14 February 2023

We hired Chef Huey to bring food for 10 adults to our home for a Super Bowl party during our week stay here. Everything was great from the start with prompt responses, and working with me to create a perfect menu that everyone raved about!...He and Tracy thought of and brought everything to our house which made me look like a superstar! We had conch fritters, 2 flavors of chicken wings, a full taco bar with baja fish and carne asada, guacamole & queso with chips and the pulled pork sandwiches. We were thrilled that we even had leftovers for the next day. The flavor and quality of everything was a home run. It's not easy to make all 10 adults happy at the same time but Chef and Tracy knocked it out of the park! We highly recommend this dynamic duo for any of your dining needs!More

Chef Huey and Tracy were unbelievable. Our vacation of family and friends (23 people ) were fortunate enough to find Island Bites. Our rentals at Rum Point Northside were a little far from the tourist areas of Seven Mile Beach so we wanted a food...service that would come to us. And did they ever! Chef Huey and Tracy came to our house with the most wonderful food. My wife worked with Huey to create the menus for each meal. The best conch fritters ever! Wonderful fish dishes. Ceviche, jerk chicken, burgers, tacos, rum cake ( wow), key lime pie and so much more. Unfortunately we were so excited about eating we completely forgot to take pictures of the food. The portions were enough for dinner and lunch the next day. We enjoyed their feasts three nights and wished we had planned for more. Thank you Huey and Tracy. Please keep them in mind if you want to feel pampered and want delicious food. Five Stars all the way.More

Totally AMAZING FOOD! Huey did an awesome job catering for our large group of 23. The food was absolutely fabulous! He did 3 dinners for us during our 8 day stay!First meal was guacamole, Jerk Chicken and Mahi Mahi!! Several in our group were drinking...the jerk sauce. He did key lime pie for dessert. All so yummy. And his guacamole didn’t turn brown! Want the recipe! Didn’t know I liked Mahi Mahi! Second meal was for Fourth of July -hamburgers-made to order on his trailer-fried chicken, Mac & cheese, baked beans, corn and homemade rum pound cake! 3rd meal was a selection of tacos w several different sauces, ceviche, conch chowder. Can’t say enough about the amazing food -he is definitely a talented chef. And also an amazing person. He and Tracy were so friendly and gave us tips on what to see & where to go. Couldn’t do enough. You will not be disappointed with the food, service or the price! We ate leftovers of each meal the next day. It fed all of us again for each meal. Thanks Huey & Tracy!More

We are on Grand Cayman for the first time and finding our way around the island enjoying some touristy things and the natural beauty including snorkling and the beaches. Part of the adventure is finding good places to eat to satisfy adults and kids. The...grandparents, parents and grand kids all enjoyed the food at Island Bites. This major food truck was a major find. The large menu and the tex-cayman food approah is perfect. We enjoyed the tacos (each meat option) and the rice bowls (we tried pork and jerk chicken). Great meal for everyone. The portions are large so good value for your money. Grand Cayman is not a cheap place for eating out so we were very happy to find these guys. And, the owners hit an absolute homerun with the coconut ice cream. The smoothie options were all delicious as well. Go to Island Bites because it will make you happy.More

This food truck is directly across the road from Cayman Crystal Caves. I had the jerk chicken and mahi tacos and they were delicious. The fried plantains are good also. Even though the attendant told us "5 minutes" for our food, it was closer to...15. We didn't mind the wait, we had nothing else to do. But be prepared for "island time." The tables set up outside the food truck are well-shaded, and there is plenty to look at while you're eating: lots of chickens (definitely fun to watch the territorial roosters protecting their areas), plant life (we sat under an ackee tree sagging in fruit). There are a couple of hammocks to lie in while waiting for your food.More

Thanks for your review. We are glad you enjoyed your meal and the atmosphere. Some of our items are cooked to order. The fish for the tacos are cooked to order hence the wait. We want to ensure the food is fresh.

Reviewed 19 February 2020 via mobile

I really tried liking this unique food truck experience, but I can honestly say it was only average in terms of food quality and taste. The fish tacos were ok, but nothing to write home about, the hamburger not cooked all the way through and...the fries a little overdone and unseasoned. Bugs were bad in the picnic table/small eating area next to the food truck which meant lots of swatting mosquitos while trying to eat, and, although I love all the roosters and chickens running all over the island, having a herd of them right underneath the table while eating was a bit disconcerting. The people who run the place are very friendly though and service is quick and relatively inexpensive by island standards.More

Have driven past this place on 3 different trips, so our group decided to make the stop last week. While the ordering process was a little confusing, everything else was excellent! I had the curry chicken, others got the jerk and tacos - the fries...were top notch - all was really good. The owner came out to chat - his dog was just as friendly - really enjoyed our stop and the food - will likely order take out next time we are on the island! Oh - and get the swanky tea!More

This food truck serves some of the best food on the island and their homemade ice cream may have been the best I have ever had anywhere. Both owners came by our table and talked with us like we were close friends. They embraced my...service dog and showed us pictures of their dogs. It's laid back, casual. Tables are set up on the lawn under trees. It is a place we will definitely go back to every chance we get.More

We had just left the Crystal Caves across the road and had been told about this hidden gem/ Food truck. Starving, we went over and ordered. I was craving a burger and was NOT disappointed, They've a bbq right out back and my burger was...cooked to perfection and HUGE. My husband had the Citrus Chicken Tacos and couldn't even finish two- but he thoroughly enjoyed them. Picnic tables and fun island music played. The gals cooking and serving were delightful. I'm told that their rum raisin ice cream is delish, but we were too full to even attempt.More
