Jamaica Mi Hungry

Food is horrible the rice is not the Jamaican rice it's more on the Haitian side the curry so disappointed I think only one is the most authentic Jamaican food yet the one in Roslindale and Dorchester if you want good Jamaican food

Paid a visit to the food truck which came to Gloucester at the end of the summer,it was good and maybe I'm spoiled but I've yet to find authentic jerk chicken that doesn't have to be bathed in sauce for those true spices and smoke to shine outside of my visits to Jamaica. Sides were on point which consisted of fried plantains and rice and peas. The curry goat was tasty and cooked perfectly.they also have a couple brick and mortar locations that I plan on trying hoping that maybe it performs better than what we had that evening from the food truck.I see people complain about the prices being high,come on people! Everything cost more these days,I found the price point to be just fine. Very friendly service also.

I love trying out cuisines that are unfamiliar to me! Jamaica Mi Hungry has been on top of my list for quite some time now because it has been featured on Eater so many times. I also wanted to support local and black owned businesses. So Im really glad they now have a food truck in Allston as it is now easily accessible to me!The people were extremely friendly and helpful. I told them that it was my first time and they checked in on me and my mom several times. There were several seats and tables around so we were able to park and eat easily. My mom and I got the Jerk Chicken with Sweet Plantains and today's special, brussels sprouts ($13) and the oxtail with rice and beans and dill slaw ($15). The meat was just so juicy and tender. Like fall off the bone tender. Both dishes were seasoned really well; it packed lots of flavors without being salty. The side dishes were phenomenal too! I am obsessed with fried plantains in general so I was so happy that these were really well cooked. The brussels sprouts were crisp but not dry. The rice and beans went extremely well with the oxtail sauce and the bbq jerk (red) sauce. Lastly, the dill slaw deserves a chef's kiss. It was tangy, refreshing, and light!I highly recommend both dishes but I think I like the oxtail a little bit more because it was more unique. As for the side dishes, I would recommend the dill slaw and the fried plantains! Brussels sprouts were delicious but it was a special :(They are open Mondays through Fridays 11:30 to 6pm. Parking and seating are available. Phenomenal food and service!!

The truck now lives in Allston M-F 11:30-6pm in the parking lot of the empty restaurant across the street from Trader Joe's. It will move into the brick and mortar restaurant in the fall. Excited about their permanent vegan options including jerk tofu and vegetable curry stew. Most of the sides are veg/vegan too. Everything is super flavorful and yummy. I loved the vegetable curry. My only area for improvement would be for them to grill or fry the tofu instead of just heating it up. It still had really good flavor though and could tell they cared about making it tasty. It also has a nice pineapple topping.

I've been hitting this truck for quite some time now. It's delicious and consistently delicious! I've had the jerk chicken plate and the goat curry plate - both excellent. My sides are a staple of bean n rice and sweet plantains and I generally pay extra for "extra meat" it's 2 or 3 more dollars.The review, happily so, is going to be uneventful because there is nothing but good things to say about this truck. The food is tasty: great seasonings and not spicy that the avg person can't eat it. The extra sauces they let you "heat up" your food with there are awesome! The meat is tender and fresh. The Goat has bones, FYI - it's beyond tender!! Perfectly cooked! The frosting on the cake is that the people are always very nice too! (dont forget to tip your food truck staff folks!)The only *real* con, would be the line!? and I honestly can't state it's a down side.. the wait is worth it, however that cuts into your lunch hour! I plan ahead, order the extra meat and, personally, get 2 meals out of it! WIN WIN! You can't go wrong here. all of it. all the time. just yum!CHEERS!

I've heard about this truck from a friend last year.....and I finally got to try it! On a dreary day, when the rain finally stopped, I stepped outside and made my way to Dewey Square/South Station and lo and behold...one of the only two with somewhat of a line (it was 1pm so there was 3 people in front of me, then some came after but the line moves quick as they are just scooping your food into a box). So you know you're in for a treat somewhat if there's some sort of line! The employees are very nice and talkative when I was trying to choose a sauce since the hot sauce wasn't labeled but thank god she was there... she was updating the menu since plantains just sold out! I got the jerk chicken with white rice and curry vegetable stew $10 and they take credit card. I'm not sure how anyone can add more meat, but I guess if you have a big appetite..but I mean I was famished and still had 2 pieces of chicken left when I was done!I would definitely add more of the sauce that's already on your chicken and a few drops of hot sauce.. make sure a drop gets into the curry! If you eat the chicken with the veggie with rice all in one bite it'll taste better than just the veggies themselves but that may just be me as I hate veggies but only eat them cause they are healthy...I will definitely return when I'm craving something different...! The chicken was fantastic and I'm very happy there wasn't any bone since it looked like there may be some..but nope! Just good ole chicken!

Great portions for the price. Amazing taste and really cool staff. Would be a regular if I loved closer. 24/30

Jerk pork shoulder was insane. Super spicy in the best way. Friendly staff. Glorious place

The Pattie's are alright .. taste like a regular one you can buy at a supermarket and warm up. I also got a jerk chicken plate with white rice and Brussels sprouts. My sprouts were literally burnt and the chicken had NO jerk on it. Everything tasted very American, this business is a disgrace to Jamaicans.

I was hesitant to try this place but I did against my instinct. I ordered rice with curry goat and my friend got the same. They didn't give her rice and wanted to charge her an additional $6 for basically 2 tablespoons of rice. When I got home (to my disappointment) they gave me rice with a beef stew including potatoes and carrots instead of curry goat. They do not give receipts so I do not know how much I was charged (waiting for the transaction to post to my card statement. Finally, the meals are pricey and the portions are small. Oh yeah, the rice is tasteless so they embellish it with the spicy gravy. Won't be visiting there again
