Yelp's Boston Caribbean Cuisine

Chill-Chasing Caribbean Cuisine

Bandeja Paisa at El Paisa II – Dan R

Missed the cruise? Expired passport? Spent all your cheddar on heating oil? Whatever the reason, just because you can't make it to the Caribbean doesn't mean you can't eat like you're there! The Weekly's got you covered.

El Penol 30 reviews East Boston 54 Bennington St, Boston, MA Latin American “The most authentic Colombian food money can buy in the Boston area. I had the bandeja paisa: a plate of rice, beans, pork, beef, egg, and plantains. Portion size is generous and I would highly recommend it.” James T., Boston, MA

Alex’s Chimis 75 reviews Jamaica Plain 358 Centre St, Jamaica Plain, MA Dominican “Go out onto Centre St in JP and follow your nose. Follow that delicious, rich, rotisserie chicken goodness smell... The chicharonnes here are thick and meaty (not all skin like other places), and the chicken is soft and juicy and tender.” Astra G., Boston, MA

Izzy’s Restaurant & Sub Shop 98 reviews Kendall Square/MIT 169 Harvard St, Cambridge, MA American (Traditional), Sandwiches, Latin American “All I gotta say is Pastelitos, Pastelitos, Pastelitos. I could eat ten of them. Especially the beef and cheese ones. I have not tried anything else from there, but I'm sure everything is just as good. You have to try one of these!” Marcela M., Waltham, MA
