"Jamaica Plain is not typically a reasonable pickup or delivery destination for me, living at least a half hour away in Somerville, but I decided to spend my birthday wandering the Arboretum and then meeting friends who live in JP for a socially distanced picnic (not in the Arboretum — no food allowed!) It was the perfect time to finally try Jamaica Mi Hungry, which everyone’s been raving about forever. My only disappointment is that I don’t live closer (well, there’s a pop-up in Allston now, at least). Many talk about the jerk chicken, but I fell hard for the coconut shrimp with sides of mac and cheese and plantains. This was one of my absolute favorite takeout meals of 2020. —RLB Currently offering takeout and delivery in Jamaica Plain; plus, the restaurant’s food truck is parked at 182 Western Ave. in Allston for lunch takeout. Order: Official Website (for catering orders) / DoorDash (from Jamaica Plain location)" - Rachel Leah Blumenthal, Terrence Doyle
