Soul Rebel - Lorton

Just got oxtail rice and peas and cabbage today It was really good

This food truck came to our building last week. Once again, we had the chance to order our food in advance and again, we decided to not do that. Our concern is that something may come up and we'll miss getting the food we paid for. Well... We went when they opened for business. There was only one person working in the truck. He took our order and said it would be ready in 10 minutes. Meanwhile, some people who did order online came to pick up their food...no problem. We ordered 1 Island burger which, according to the menu, had cheese, a pineapple slice and pineapple mango blaze sauce. For the side dish, I chose plantains. Also, we got 1 Classic American cheeseburger which the menu said came with your choice of toppings. My husband chose fries for his side. We got upstairs and noticed that instead of plantains, fries were given. Sigh... I went back downstairs and told the man that he didn't give me my plantains. He corrected that mistake and apologized. As for the food For me, the plantains were the best item. Even though a few were overcooked, they still retained their softness in the middle and the sweet taste that comes from sauteeing them. The Island burger underdelivered when it came to ingredients. There was no pineapple slice. The pineapple mango blaze merely consisted of some small diced piece of mango. Plus, there was some shredded lettuce and red onions. The Classic American cheeseburger ended up with lettuce and onions on it. The fries were okay. Both of us agreed that the burger patties were overcooked and dried out. So...a decent enough meal but nothing to write home about it. This truck attracted more attention than others that came to our building. With only one person working on the truck, I can imagine he got overwhelmed as the evening progressed. While we don't regret ordering from them, we will give it a pass should they return to our building

Probably the worst Caribbean food I’ve had yet solely due to the couscous. The menu needs to specify the type of rice because it said rice and peas. The oxtails were said to be Dali g off the bone but that was not true, they were tough, but the flavor was good. I got 2 and a half large oxtails for the large plate, hardly any meat. I just couldn’t get past the couscous. I felt like there was no value for the amount I paid which was like $20 for the oxtail plate alone.

Happened by the truck when they were parked in Arlington and ordered on a whim. The oxtail was fabulous, richly spiced and perfectly tender. Rice and beans were flavorful and the plantains on the side were A+. Delicious meal!

I visited the Soul Rebel food truck while in the D.C area this past summer. The Jerky-Q wings were a hit with my family. So much so I recently ordered the sauce. Shipping was quick and I put the sauce to use right away. The family loved it. I also ordered the Dat Mo’ Fiya Jerk Marinade and it went well on my grilled chicken. I’m a fan of Soul Rebel and next time I’m in Virginia, I hope to visit the food truck or upcoming physical location.
