Island Vybz Mobile Rasta-rant

I dream about the salmon wrap and plantains. Do yourself a favor and stop by the truck for lunch, usually downtown Iowa City on Wednesdays and Thursdays. Prices are great and the food is perfection!

We happened across IV on Ragbrai this year after hearing about the truck for a number of months. They are doing things they way they should be up in this trizuck!
The rasta vibe runs deep here and while the choices are limited, they are boss! We had the Jerk Pork and a Jerk Chicken Quesadilla — both were unreal. The Pork was probably some of the best I’ve ever had — high praise from someone who A) lives in a state with 7x mores pigs than people and B) Feels pigs are all superheroes! The sauce that comes with it was incredible as well. Tangy with just a little kick and something that I admittedly drank a little of when I was done.
The Jerk Chicken quesadilla was excellent as well. We’ve had Jerk in Jamaica and it’s been amazing, but always with a little char (primarily because the stuff we had was cooked on some aluminum reclaimed from a roof) — this was perfectly done. Juicy, cheesy and filling.
This place is the real deal and I’m glad we finally got to try it out, because we’ll be back again soon!

We live in the NYC area, and in the the last 7 years I havent been able to get decent, if not acceptable, Jamaican pulled pork sandwich with some plantains. Vacationing in Iowa city this summer and I found heaven in the mobile truck… cant miss it, beautifully painted. Facebook has their current locations. And best of all its quick & D-​Lish. PLEASE come to my area we need your great food, believe that!!!

The pulled pork meal is flavorful and filling, with a big portion of well seasoned tender pork, plantains, and rice with a few veggies, for $ 11. The truck looks new and clean, and the hygiene looks good. The truck was parked on Dibuque Street between Jefferson and Iowa Avenues. I will be back!

The Island Vybz food truck has delicious and nutritious authentic Jamaican food. Service is fast and friendly. One of my favorites is the grilled cheese.
