The Jibarito Stop: Reviews & Ratings
Very good tasting jibaritos. Great portions as well. Love the pique hot suace that they serve, definitely will be returning.
It was delish. I have tried many Puerto Rican restaurants in the Chicago area even the northwest Indiana area. The food was extremely good and at a decent price. Did not break the bank coming here
Im a super picky eater and I hated everything that is not Mexican food or hot dog stands but my coworkers introduced me to this place and it was very very good and meat eaters will be happy even if you do not have a worldly palate like ...
Amazing. Brought my girlfriend who was born in and spent the first 25 years of her life in Puerto Rico, and she said this is some of the best Puerto Rican food shes ever had, including in Puerto Rico. We both got jibaritos with pork, arroz ...
This has been one of my FAVORITE Puerto Rican restaurants for YEARS, but recently they added a VEGAN MENU!!!! ...
I had a Jibarito with rice. It was delicious and reasonably priced. I loved it. The portion size was good. Great value for money. The wait time was around 1520 mins.
I fell in love with this place when I walked in. The jibaritos are huge. The steak is tender when you bite into the sandwitch. I recomend the empanada sampler. You get 3 different empanadas and 2 different fritters. Everything is under 20. Yet, you wont go away hungry.
The food was delicious. It was hot. It was tasty. The empanadas are on point. they are very busy on Friday afternoon around lunch hours so it might take a long time for your food to come, but its worth the wait.
