SAN ANTONIO — If you're on the hunt for oxtail, there's a San Antonio food truck that you might want to add to your list.

It's called Caribbean Delight and you can normally find them parked on the northeast side on 5616 Walzem Road.

"Our food is unique. We have special spices, and my husband makes up his own seasonings," said owner Glenette Duporte. "He just does things different to everybody else."

They moved here from the Virgin Islands after their son enrolled at a local college, and they wanted to introduce their authentic eats to the community.

"I bought a trailer and I'm doing a little bit better in San Antonio than in Saint Thomas," said owner Louiston Duporte.

"You can't find a place in San Antonio with oxtail like our oxtail. Caribbean Delight... the best oxtail," said Louiston. "Off the bone it's very tender. You cook it with the onion and your pepper your celery and season it up with ginger, your turmeric."

"It is amazing. It melts in your mouth. Oh, my God. It was just delicious," said Tipton.

The shrimp pasta is also a hit.
