This Caribbean spot is laying down the best jerk chicken in Palo Alto. Coconuts is a colorful and casual spot right off of University Ave. that attracts students, tech workers, and anyone else looking to get an excellent and reasonably priced meal. Get the $15 dark meat combo plate with juicy chicken, sweet plantains, and perfectly cooked red beans and rice—you’ll be licking the tangy sauce off your fingers with reckless abandon. This big space can get full on the weekends with large groups, and on sunny days, the adjoining patio is the perfect place to sip on a dark and stormy under some umbrellas.
