Peppas Jerk Chicken

Beyond the run-down, hole-in-the-wall waiting area, this Nostrand Avenue fixture serves up satisfying Caribbean plates with decent portions and inexpensive prices. The kitchen turns out moist jerk chicken packed with flavor and tender oxtail that pairs naturally with their rice and beans. The staff behind the counter are helpful and welcoming, making it a functional neighborhood stop where the focus remains entirely on the food.
