Ja Patty Brings a Taste of Island Life to Rhode Island

Ja Patty has evolved from a food truck to a brick and mortar “tuck shop.” Previously, the business operated only out of a commercial kitchen space in Pawtucket’s Lorraine Mills with a mobile food truck. They maintained a weekly changing schedule, but now you can bite into their crisp, warm Jamaican patties and jerk chicken rice bowls anytime during consistent restaurant hours. The new spot is located at 1577 Westminster St. in Providence, right near the Scurvy Dog. It’s open Thursday, Sunday and Monday from 11 a.m.- 8 p.m., and Friday and Saturday from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.

The best food trucks in R.I. serve up just about everything

JA Patty was founded in 2019 by Conroy Outar and Alison Rosario, who looked to cook and sell authentic Jamaican food in Pawtucket. Since then, they’ve become the authoritative food truck of meat pies (with some vegan options) in Rhode Island.

Known for their jerk chicken served on coconut rice and freshly baked patties, co-founders Conroy Outar and Alison Rosario, bring the traditional flavors and hospitality of Jamaica to Southern New England.

For the Love of Jamaica

Maybe you’ve seen him at a market, or her at a brewery, standing behind a small table where there rests a warming tray filled with Jamaican patties. Your curiosity piqued, you decide between beef, chicken or veggie and walk away with a warm pastry, full of flavor. Too soon, the patty is gone and you find yourself wanting another. And another.
