"Jamaican spot Top Taste is where you’ll find the best and most affordable meal in Kingston. For $15, you’ll get a hefty plate of moist jerk chicken or rich oxtails, buttery plantains, brown lentil rice, and green slaw. They largely do takeout, but there are a few small tables inside if you want to watch some local news while digging into tender, spiced curried goat and sipping ginger beer. It takes some planning to eat here since they often close with little notice, posting on their Instagram stories whether they’re open for the day. But it’s worth checking their socials daily for a chance to sink your teeth into that jerk chicken." - anne cruz, clare lagomarsino, keith hernandez, chanize thorpe
