BBQ Express Aruba — Restaurant in Aruba

After seeing various YouTube Aruba travel videos featuring this food truck, this turned out to be one of the biggest culinary disappointments of our trip! This place is totally over-hyped, overpriced and nowhere near worth the money or wait. After paying $27 US Dollars for what was billed as the "Surf & Turf" Combo Platter, which turned out to be a couple of dry, bony overcooked ribs with no meat, along with about four miniscule peeled shrimp over rice and beans, and another $14USD for a few more ribs than the more expensive platter came with (which shows that their portion allotment is totally random and arbitrary), we realized we'd been completely ripped off.

BBQ Express in Palm Beach Noord is hands down one of the best hidden gems in Aruba! If you’re a fan of flavorful, juicy BBQ, this place absolutely delivers.

I lathered it in chimichurri and garlic sauce (there is an array of other sauces) DELICIOUS. I went with a small portion and it was impossible to finish.
