Juici Patties to Open Locations in Roxbury and Brockton

Last month, it was reported that a growing group of Caribbean restaurants would be expanding to the Boston area with a location moving into a space just north of the city, and now we have learned that two others are on the way as well.

According to a poster within the Friends of Boston's Hidden Restaurants Facebook group page, Juici Patties is planning to open in both Roxbury and Brockton, joining another location that will be opening at Gateway Center in Everett. The Roxbury location will be coming to 16 Taber Street in the Nubian Square area while the Brockton location will be coming to the Westgate Mall, and it isn't known which of the three might open first, so stay tuned for updates as they come in.

The first Juici Patties (which is known for its traditional Jamaican patties) opened back in 1980, and today there are more than 60 locations in Jamaica while outlets in the United States can be found in New York, Georgia, and Florida. Its website is at https://juicipattiesusa.com/

Jamaica Mi Hungry in Jamaica Plain Has Closed

Last month, a second brick-and-mortar location of a Jamaican restaurant opened its doors, and now we have learned that its original location has shuttered.

According to a source, Jamaica Mi Hungry in Jamaica Plain is no longer in business, with a Facebook post from the business saying the following:

It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of our Jamaica Plain restaurant. Serving the JP community has been an incredible experience, and we are deeply grateful for the support, love, and memories we've shared with you all. We apologize for taking some time to make this announcement. We were truly indecisive because we wanted to explore every possible option to keep the location open. After much thought and effort, we came to the unfortunate conclusion that closing was the best decision. Thank you for welcoming us into your neighborhood and allowing us to be part of your community. We hope to continue serving you at our new location downtown Boston. We look forward to seeing you there!

Jamaica Jeff's in Belmont Center Has Closed

A dining spot in the western suburbs that featured Caribbean fare--and which opened not too long before the pandemic began--has closed its doors. 

According to an article from the Belmont Citizen-Herald and Wicked Local, Jamaica Jeff's in Belmont Center is no longer in business, with owner Jeffrey Lasseter saying that "It's a minor miracle I stayed open as long as I did. We get to a point where we have to make hard decisions. The best decision financially was to shut this down." Lasseter also wished that Massachusetts could be more like Florida, adding that "We're the same human beings here. Up here, we have this doomsday attitude. People are gripped with fear about going out to eat." The article mentions that Lasseter said the town was supportive to him, especially those in the police and fire departments, stating that "I believe in Belmont. The potential is there. It's a very special place That's why I keep my family here."

Lasseter, whose resume includes being a Central Intelligence Agency officer and a U.S. diplomat, first opened Jamaica Jeff's in the fall of 2019.

The address for the now-closed Jamaica Jeff's was 61 Leonard Street, Belmont, MA, 02478.

Bright Light Is Taking Over the JnJ Turo Turo Space in Quincy

One of the region's only Filipino restaurants is gone for good, though a new dining spot that features both Filipino and Carribbean fare will be opening in its space.

Based on information from posters within the Quincy Is Everything Facebook group page, a new restaurant that offers Filipino and Jamaican cuisine is coming to the JnJ Turo Turo space in Quincy, with a check on the OpenCorporates page indicating that Bright Light is opening in the Water Street storefront. The page shows the name of the parent company as being Bright Light Authentic Jamaican & Filipino Cuisine while a Google search seems to indicate that the restaurant may indeed just be called Bright Light; as soon as we find out more, we will post an update here.

JNJ Turo Turo, which first opened approximately 15 years ago, said earlier this year that it planned to close at the end of June; it was one of a very few restaurants locally to offer Filipino fare, with Tanám at Bow Market in Somerville also focusing on Filipino food as well.

The address for the new restaurant (and JNJ Turo Turo) is 143 Water Street, Quincy, MA, 02169. The website for Bright Light will be at https://store.getbeyond.com/bright-light

[September 7 update: Based on its website, Bright Light is now open, and it offers such items as shrimp rolls, empanadas, stir-fry noodles, jerk chicken, beef patties, curry goat, fried tilapia, and more.]

Il Panino Express to Open in Jamaica Plain

The person behind several restaurants in Boston is helping to open a place with a familiar name in a neighborhood of the city.

Eater Boston is reporting (via Jamaica Plain News) that Frank DePasquale is involved with the opening of Il Panino Express on South Street in Jamaica Plain, with the owner of the upcoming spot--Lakis Vlahoulis--thanking the restaurateur, saying that "without your help and guidance, this wouldn't have happened."

Makin' Jamaican Food Truck Coming to the Boston Area

Yet another new food truck is on its way to the Boston area, and this one will be focusing on dishes from the Caribbean.

Eater Boston is reporting (via @BOSFoodTours) that Makin' Jamaican will soon be up and running somewhere in or around Boston. Little is known about the Jamaican truck at this point, though a Twitter post on their page indicates that their head chef is "hard at work perfecting some Jamaican specialties for the food truck."

Once it opens, Makin' Jamaican will be the first food truck in the Boston area to focus on Jamaican fare, though some trucks do offer dishes that are often found in the island nation (Silk Road BBQ, for instance, serves jerk chicken and curry goat stew).

[July 30 update: According to their website, the Makin' Jamaican food truck is now up and running from 4:00 PM to 10:00 PM on Commercial Street in Malden Center, across from the T stop. Their menu is not yet up on the website, but a couple of items mentioned on their Facebook page include coco bread and beef patties.]
