Common Questions About The Food Trucks At Beaches Turks & Caicos

Before I get into each food truck and why we loved them, I know many readers have questions so I am taking a moment to answer the most common ones I get.

Are the food trucks at Beaches Turks & Caicos included in the all-inclusive package?

Yes, absolutely! All the food and drinks from the resort’s food trucks are included in your all-inclusive stay. That means you can enjoy as many milkshakes, mac and cheese bowls, jerk chicken plates, or tropical drinks as you like—no extra charge.

Where are the food trucks located at the resort?

They’re spread out in convenient spots around the resort. Curls n’ Swirls is right inside Pirates Island Waterpark, Mr. Mac is more centrally located, The Jerk Shack is close to the beach, and The Dive is a beachfront drink truck near the pool and lounge areas.

Are the food trucks kid-friendly or vegetarian-friendly?

Definitely! The food trucks are a hit with kids—especially Curls n’ Swirls and Mr. Mac. You’ll also find vegetarian options like classic mac and cheese, smoothies, and fruit-based mocktails. The Jerk Shack has milder options for less adventurous eaters too.

What’s the best time to visit the food trucks to avoid crowds?

Lunchtime tends to be busiest (around 12:00–2:00 PM), so I recommend going earlier or waiting until mid-afternoon for shorter lines and faster service. Ask the staff when you check in for the latest operating hours.

Let’s dig into to all the wonderful things that the food trucks at Beaches Turks & Caicos has to offer when you are ready for a quick bite with tons of flavor.

If you’re heading into Pirates Island Waterpark, there’s one sweet stop you absolutely can’t miss—Curls n’ Swirls. This colorful little truck is a favorite for families and kids of all ages. It’s the ultimate treat spot, and yes, the milkshakes are just as good as they look.

This food truck is all about thick, creamy shakes that hit the spot after a few trips down the water slides. You can always grab a classic—vanilla, chocolate, or strawberry—but if you’re in the mood to go all out, the specialty shakes are where it’s at. Picture cookie crumbles, caramel drizzles, candy toppings, and fluffy whipped cream piled high. It’s part dessert, part drink, and completely vacation-worthy.

Because it’s located right inside the waterpark, it’s super easy to stop by between activities. I’ve seen plenty of families turn this into a daily stop—it’s just one of those little traditions that make the trip feel extra special. When we had our waterpark day, I loved that I didn’t have to go far to grab a chocolate milkshake. It is my absolute favorite, and loved the cute cup it came in.

Mr. Mac: Where to Find the Best Mac and Cheese at Beaches Turks & Caicos

When comfort food calls, Mr. Mac delivers. This food truck has carved out a loyal following at Beaches Turks & Caicos thanks to one thing: really, really good mac and cheese. Whether you like your bowl simple and creamy or loaded with flavor, there’s something here for every mac lover.

Start with the classic version—it’s rich, cheesy, and exactly what you want when you’re craving something cozy. But if you’re in the mood for something more adventurous, the specialty options are next level. Jerk chicken mac brings that Caribbean flavor with just the right amount of heat. The lobster mac is decadent and packed with fresh local seafood. And if you like a little kick, the buffalo chicken mac will definitely wake up your taste buds.

It’s a great stop for families since even the pickiest eaters usually go for mac and cheese. The portions are generous, and the truck is conveniently located near the center of the resort, so it’s easy to pop over for lunch or a quick snack. If you’re looking for where to find the best mac and cheese on property, this is your spot.

My kids (who happen to be adults) made this a frequent stop. In fact, they would grab two flavors and bring them back to our room to have for a late-night snack.

I have to say that, in the end, the lobster mac n’ cheese was the ultimate for me and I may have gotten it multiple times on this trip.

The Jerk Shack: Authentic Caribbean Food Without Leaving the Beach

The Jerk Shack is one of those must-try experiences at Beaches Turks & Caicos, especially if you want to explore local flavors. It’s all about authentic Caribbean food, served up with ocean views and island vibes.

The jerk chicken here is the main attraction, and it’s done the traditional way—marinated in herbs and spices like thyme, garlic, allspice, and scotch bonnet pepper, then grilled to perfection. The result? Tender, smoky, flavor-packed chicken that feels like a true taste of the islands. You can also order jerk pork or freshly grilled fish, depending on what you’re in the mood for.

And it doesn’t stop at the protein. Meals come with Caribbean sides like rice and peas cooked in coconut milk, crunchy slaw, and festival bread (which is kind of like a sweet fried dumpling—so good). If you’re not into spicy food, no worries. The heat level is adjustable, and you can always ask for sauce on the side.

This truck is located just steps from the sand, so it’s the perfect lunch stop after a beach morning. If you’re searching for authentic jerk chicken or Caribbean food at Beaches Turks & Caicos, this is the place to go.

Rounding out the food truck lineup is The Dive, which technically doesn’t serve food—but it definitely deserves a spot on your list. This is the resort’s beachfront bar truck, and it’s all about keeping you refreshed with tropical cocktails, ice-cold beers, and fun mocktails that the whole family can enjoy.

The Dive is all about convenience. It’s positioned near the beach and pool areas, so you never have to walk far for a frozen daiquiri or a smoothie.
