About Caribbean Soul Fusion

We do on-site service for events and I’m proud we’re minority owned. Expect straightforward plates, stacked and served fast. I’ll bring the mains people want, like jerk chicken and a Latin-style side, and I’ll keep the lines moving so guests don’t decamp to the chips table. The truck isn’t glossy, the grill has seen better days, and that’s part of the plan. I cook what folks ask for and fix mistakes when I make them. I show up for block parties, neighborhood events, and catered lunches, and I take the logistics seriously even if I joke about the weather. If you want simple, honest service with a Caribbean-Latin bend, I’m the truck that will turn up, feed your people, and clean up afterward.

Bret Paul

Owner, Caribbean Soul Fusion

I remember the first time I sold something and felt that rush, it was an Amway catalog when I was 19 and I thought, this is me. I was born in Haiti and moved to Skokie in early 90's, I studied business marketing marketing at Northern Illinois University and spent some years at AT&T before the 2008 crash pushed me toward running my own things. I ran a cellphone shop, a senior-care business and later bought a small breakfast diner in Round Lake where I learned what customers actually want. I opened a version of Caribana in Lindenhusrt, IL in 2019 and after the pandemic closure, I focused on bringing island-soul flavor back home to Skokie with Caribana Island Grill in 2026. I like talking to people, figuring out how to make their night better, and building something that feels like our neighborhood.

When to Book

Recommended lead time
15–30 days before your event

The further ahead you book, the more trucks you'll have to choose from. Planning ahead is the best way to secure your top pick.

That said, shorter timelines work too—we book events just days out all the time. You'll just have fewer options to choose from.

Busy seasons: Spring and Fall are our most popular times in Chicago, so booking early gives you the best selection.

How far in advance should I book Caribbean Soul Fusion?
Fifteen to thirty days gives you the best shot at your first-choice date, and shorter timelines work too. Food trucks in Chicago book up fastest in spring and fall, and events with 100+ guests benefit from a little extra notice for menu planning and staffing.

Some trucks charge a travel fee depending on how far the venue is, so include the full event address in your request and the truck will let you know if one applies. For a venue outside this area, the truck will confirm whether it can make the trip.
Do you offer vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, or allergy-conscious options?
Caribbean Soul Fusion hasn't listed specific dietary menus, but most trucks can adapt a few items. Describe what you need, including allergies, in your booking request and the truck will confirm what it can safely prepare.
Do I need to provide any utilities (power or water)?
Usually not. Most food trucks arrive with their own generator, water tank, and cooking equipment, so a flat, accessible parking spot of roughly 12 by 25 feet is all they need.

What happens in case of bad weather or cancellation?
Rescheduling is the usual answer when weather turns, and we work with you and the truck to find a date. If the event has to be cancelled, the refund follows the cancellation policy above.
