Pikalo JP

Dominican restaurant · Jamaica Plain

"In Jamaica Plain and beyond, Pikalo is well-loved for its wide array of empanadas, but its patacones sandwiches are also compulsory. The bun is made with pieces of flattened and twice-fried plantains, and there are a few choices for fillings, including the kikiriki, which is served with a mountain of juicy, shredded chicken topped with cheese, mayo, ketchup, tomatoes, and pickles. It’s miraculous." - Karen Wilber
