Irie Jerk

$ cart jerk Brooklyn

Flatbush jerk done the right way: chicken smoked outdoors in a 60-gallon steel drum, char-crusted and moist, sold from the sidewalk setup on Nostrand.

Order: Jerk chicken with rice and peas, festival on the side, and a ginger beer that actually burns.

verified open 2026 (Yelp updated Jul 2026, listings updated Feb 2026); drum fires outside, storefront behind it; noon-9pm, later Fri-Sat

Tacos El Bronco (truck)

$ cart tacos Brooklyn

Sunset Park's defining taco truck — al pastor carved to order, tortillas doubled, salsas that mean it. The truck outlasts the night shifts; one unit opens at 2am.

Order: Al pastor and lengua tacos, salsa verde, with a bottled Jarritos from the cooler.
