Jamburritos Cajun Grille – Express

I went to an event a couple weekends back where this truck was working, but it wasn’t as great as when I’ve previously had their food. Still good, but not as good. Their hush puppies are AMAZING. I love New Orleans food so this is a nice way to bring a taste of New Orleans to Phoenix. Jambalaya with chicken was pretty good. The sausage was probably the best part. Not too bad overall though!

Just had this place at phoenix farmers market! Lady was super sweet! And food was amazing took me back to when I lived in Louisana. I wish they had a resturant I’d be there everyday!

Food was awesome!!! I had the chicken K-​sadilla and it filled me up. Had a side of hush puppies too that I love. Please come back to the Discovery Building in Tempe or the TOC Building for State Farm. I need more of your food!!!

Totally and utterly delicious. Highly recommend. Make sure you are hungry or take someone to share with. I definitely would have been happy with just the one half.

I have no picture because the food made its way immediately into my mouth. The presentation was wonderful and so was the flavor. I got the opportunity to try a little of everything. The asada tacos, pineapple pork tacos, and the AMAZING fried catfish tacos paired with some of the best hush puppies I’ve ever eaten. Most places just fry cornbread into a ball, these had so much flavor! Also, their salsa needs to be put in a jar and massively sold. I wish I had 2 stomachs. Kick your granny good!

The Food is amazing! Just the right amount of Cajun spice. The portions are huge and well balanced.

I’ve had 2 items from this awesome food truck.
Texas Toast Blackened Catfish Sandwich
That day, they didn’t have anymore fried catfish. I almost said nevermind, but I’m so glad I didn’t. The sandwich was huge, I could only handle half. It was a while ago so I can’t remember everything on it, but their cajun sauce i definitely remember. The sauce and the blackened fish meshed so well, along with the toasty texas toast. It was flawless. I can only imagine how much more I might have liked the fried fish. I’d recommend this to anyone.
Fried catfish k-​tacos
If someone had told me I’d wake up that morning and have a perfect meal, I’d say…‘why are you talking to me this early’. The catfish was flawless (there’s that word again). Fried like my own grandmother was in that truck doing the cooking. I haven’t had catfish seasoned and fried this well since her. A better job could not have been done here. Every single thing on these tacos was awesome. And again, their white cajun tartar sauce walks hand in hand with this fish. The best catfish I’ve had outside of my grandma’s, and the best fish tacos I’ve had period.
The first time I had food from this truck was at a farmer’s market. The wait was a bit because the line was quite long. Second time, same thing. I’m not a frequent food truck customer, so I’m not sure what an average wait time should be. However, I did not mind the wait because of the kind of food they were pumping out of there. I mean, you’re serving up platters of freshly fried and perfect catfish. You can take a while. I don’t mind.
Customer service is just fine.
Their website has a schedule to track them, which I really appreciate.
Only wish they had clones.

Outstanding! I had the chicken Jamburrito and loved every bit!

Some friends and I checked Jamburritos out at First Friday in downtown Phoenix.
The people working the truck were pleasant. The Cat Fish Po’Boy was pretty good, my friend from Louisiana said that it was a valiant effort. The special of the day, a Pineapple Pork Po’Boy, was not very good. They ruined it when they put «nacho cheese» on it. Same with the nachos. I get it, nacho cheese is nacho cheese (belongs on nachos…), but that is like the shitty cheese you get at a baseball game, ya know what I’m saying? Put some real nice cheese on there. $ 8 sandwiches should not have $ 0.08 cents worth of shit cheese on them. Nor should nachos from a good food truck!
I might try them again, but would be hard-​pressed to get anything besides the Cat Fish Po’Boy.
Maybe they were having an off night…

OMFreakingGoodness!!! I was confused when I heard about this truck but I just got the catfish jamburrito and it is absolutely DELICIOUS!!! And he was super fast which I can appreciate since I only get 30 min for lunch… MUST have!!!

Friendly and fast service. I tried their blackened catfish jamburrito and it was deeeelish!

Great food, friendly people, good prices. Fast service. What more can you ask? :) I ordered the fried catfish tacos. They were ready in 5 – 7 minutes and delicious. Better quality fish tacos than most places. They seasoned everything just right. See photo.
Too bad I don’t have one by my house. :)

Huge portions and hearty, tasty Cajun/​Mexican fusion food. In addition to Cajun style burritos, they offer nachos, quesadillas, and bowls.
I opted for a blackened catfish jamburrito ($ 8) and shared some veggie nachos ($ 8). The burrito was enormous, packed with spicy catfish, jambalaya rice, tartar sauce, and lettuce. It was so big I could only finish half of it for lunch. The nachos were equally tasty, filled with a heaping portion of creole marinated cabbage, beans, cheese, and sour cream, just to name a few of the ingredients.
The order came out fairly quickly. In addition to your order, they offer you salsa, and give you a lollipop as an after meal treat. Overall a good place to get lunch!

Cajun/​Mex fusion needed to happen, and the happening couldn’t be in better hands.
–Nice people, who go the extra kilometer in giving an ETA on food so that it’s possible to chill or browse what’s nearby, rather than standing right there and fretting.
–Reasonable pricing in relation to serving size, and reasonable serving size in relation to reality. Seven bucks gets you a breakfast bowl that’s filling enough to be the whole breakfast (so you’re not stuck blowing $ 20-​$ 25 across multiple trucks to not starve), but the portion’s not so huge that you can’t justify a pastry from the market stands if one calls out to you.
–Delicious eggs! Soft, fluffy, and worth every second of the wait time.
–Delicious Cajun rice.
–Heck, delicious everything.
–Did I mention how nice they are?
Also, you get a lollipop as a breath freshener. I’m not sure I intend to lick one, but I’m ridiculously amused by having one.

I came here cause the line at Matt’s Big Breakfast was too long and I was not disappointed by Jamburritos! I got the super delicious veggie breakfast burrito. It had eggs, creole hash browns (hash browns made with homemade creole sauce, it was yummy and flavorful), black bean salsa and Monterey Jack cheese wrapped in a tortilla. I got mild sauce with mine and it even came with a lollipop. I will definitely go back next time I’m in Phoenix.

Cajun and Mexican fusion?! I got a Blackened Catfish bowl. There really wasn’t anything «Mexican» about that bowl, except that they added some shredded lettuce and a dollop of sour cream to the top. Nonetheless, I still enjoyed it. The bowl came with a generous helping of catfish, beans, and cajun rice with andouille sausage.
The fish was truly blackened and had a little bit of a kick to it. It was enjoyable and the fish was nicely cooked although some of the outer edges of the filet were a little dry.
I liked this a lot, but next time I’d ask for no sour cream.
p. s. my friend ordered the hush puppies, I would say skip those.

Finally came upon Jamburritos while amongst the throngs at Phoestivus at the Downtown Public Market. They’re downtown pretty often, but for some reason I’ve always missed them. Not this time. And thank goodness. Otherwise I’d have missed out on some cajun deliciousness that’s pretty hard to duplicate.
Effectively what they’re doing is serving cajun food in a mexican food presentation. Some of the dishes have more of a mexican flare than others, but at the heart of every dish is traditional cajun soul. The menu is actually pretty expansive despite being a food truck. In addition to the dozen or so items they regularly sell, they also have a number of specials (the big special tonight was a blackened catfish). They’ve got burritos, bowls, tacos, and even quesadillas. For my first venture into the unknown, I went with a chicken jamburrito. Chicken étouffée, jambalaya, andouille sausage, cheese, lettuce and creole sauce wrapped in a flour tortilla. I also got hush puppies as a side. Total cost was $ 10 and it was ready within about 3 minutes.
First off, the burrito itself is huge. They slice it in half for you which is good because this could easily be shared by two. I took this one down myself because, well, there was just too much awesome going on. The burrito was fantastic and I think the two keys that make it are the creole sauce and the jambalaya. It actually wasn’t crazy spicy as I’d anticipated, which made it even more enjoyable. The hush puppies were also outstanding and they gave me at least half dozen of those. For $ 10, I was plenty full and happy.
So if you’re in Downtown Phoenix for Food Truck Fridays or an internet connection to Jamburrito’s calendar, do yourself a favor and track down this truck. The portions will more than satisfy and the flavors will bring you back. And be sure to make room for those hush puppies.

I (finally) gave Jamburritos another chance this morning after having a yummy sample from them at an event earlier this year. This morning the husband and I shared a chicken jamburrito… it was legit tasty. It had yummy bold flavors, fresh ingredients, juicy chicken, and… the best part… green peas… yum! It was served with a spicy red sauce and a mild green sauce… the red sauce was delicious, the green sauce was nothing special. The burrito itself was huge, more than enough for the two of us. I would come here again for sure. Glad I gave them another chance!

WOW! Do you guys deliver to Boston?!
I ordered the Blackened Cajun Fish Burrito.
Best burrito I have ever had and I’m not a real Mexican fan. But this I can eat everyday !!
Portions great for the price too !!

I got a grilled catfish burrito for at the Phoenix Public Market, and it was really good! The lady was also offering hush puppy samples, which then led me to get them with my meal. The burrito was way too much food, and I don’t know whether it’s just me and southern food, but after eating about half, I didn’t want to eat it anymore. I wasn’t really full and it was delicious, but I just didn’t want to eat that anymore. The hush puppies were delicious as well, and I definitely wanted to eat those. Food is good, but I suggest sharing it with someone else!

Delicious breakfast burritos if you get the opportunity to catch them during breakfast time. Lots of food for the money, as far as food trucks go. Try the hush puppies and Cajun tartar sauce!

I’ve had 3 things from here after discovering the food trucks on Fridays during my lunch. Li have tried the hush puppies with cajun tartar (always amazing), the catfish bowl, and my favorite, the m fried cajun catfish sandwich w tomatoes, lettuce, cajun tartar, and I forget what else, served on Texas toast. The food is always good and usually the wait isn’t too bad. It’s about 10 $ for whatever I usually get… sandwich and add-​on small hush puppies… but it will keep you full for a long time.

Visited this place as part of the Food Truck Friday experience at the Phoenix market.
I got the house special: Fried Catfish PoBoy with the Creole Cabbage/​Cole Slaw with hush puppies. It was fried goodness and definitely filling. I didn’t eat all of the bread, but I ate all of the fish and pups. This plate is served with two sauces that really pulled everything together.
I wish I would have found this place sooner. So good. Just note be prepared to wait because they are making it to order so your food is fresh with you in mind.

Y’all don’t know good eatin’ ’til you stopped at Jamburritos! My tastebuds died, went to heaven.
I’m a southerner. I DO NOT, I DO NOT, order fried catfish in restaurants outside of certain states in the south. It just doesn’t happen. Something about folks in other states putting beer batter or breadcrumbs or flour based breading on it that runs me outta the restaurant. But I figured, this Mex-​Cajun fusion way would be something to try. I ordered a fried catfish jamburrito… that’s fried catfish, with jambalaya (2 staples in my kitchen) and all the other fixin’s of a burrito. I got the fire hot sauce on the side and I also ordered up the hush puppies. They had Faygo pops (yep, I said «Pops», that’s cause I’m from the South. If you’re from other southern regions, you might call it a «cold drink».) That took me back years to my childhood and I ordered up the orange Faygo. Whoop Whoop!
So, what does this southerner say? They killed it. The hush puppies were absolutely delicious. A bit on the small side in comparison to what I’m accustomed to having back home. But exactly the taste you want in a hush puppy! WOW. I’m bringing my mom to the truck, I bet she hasn’t cooked hush puppies since I was a kid.
The Jamburrito was something out of this world. The taste of the jambalaya in every bite of the catfish was an amazing mixture of spiciness with the delicious cajun flavor of the rice. And don’t forget that there’s also beans and all the fixins of a burrito. The lettuce and fresh veggies help to cool the zing of the spice from the hot sauce. if you don’t like spicy, don’t get the hot sauce on yours.
Here’s a pic of my plate:
What a creative fusion of the Mexican burrito and cajun food. I was so satisfied and thrilled with the tastes and flavors.
I have to go back and try their friend crawfish and perhaps some other things that will take me down the Mississippi river of memories… Bravo Jamburritos! Bravo.
