Boston Jerk Centre, Portland: One of Jamaica’s greatest Street Food spots

There are some places in Jamaica that you have to visit at least once, as they have become ingrained in the culture of the country. Kareemsquest.com believes that Boston Jerk is one such place, as it has been around for decades and is now onto its second generation of owners.

Watch the interview below to meet one of the famous vendors at Boston, Portland.

Located next to Boston Beach, which is an attraction of itself, this is a spot where visitors from around the world come to lime and dine. The purists told kareemsquest.com that the food doesn’t taste as good as when the old vendors were around. However this has not stopped patrons from visiting the spot, as it is usually packed on a Saturday and Sunday.
