Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak. I got Arroz blanco con habichuelas guisada (white rice and stewed Puerto Rican beans) con carne frita (fried pork fritter) and the portion was a good ammount 5/5 there too. I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

I was not expecting to find several Puerto Rican restaurants in Lancaster PA, but that's exactly…read morewhat I found! El Jibarito has a window to order takeout from and a backyard area with tables if you want to eat onsite. I liked the casual vibe of this restaurant. My fella had a pernil sandwich that he said was one of the best he's had, and my friend had a pernil plate. I had the mofongo with shrimp. The shrimp were really good and I liked that the mofongo didn't have chicharron in it, although it was a little dry. Overall great meal and experience and it was nice to meet the owner who was a sweetheart. I watched a steady stream of customers come and go while I was there, so its safe to say El Jibarito is a popular eatery in Lancaster.

Absolutely AMAZING chicken pastelillos. I was in love the moment I took the first bite. Very soft outer dough, deliciously moist chicken, and mouth watering flavor. I almost devoured it instantly. I would absolutely LOVE to have some again. I'm ashamed to say that the pastelillos were the only thing I got. Overall: Chicken pastelillos 11/10 Service 10/10 Price: $8 for two

I will update later . The Alcapurias were delicious just a bit too small . The establishment looks very clean . The man in the pastry register was not open about recommending anything . He was in a big rush to get the line moving . The ladies working in the food section were not friendly. I recommend El Coqui . Overall the food & pastries were delicious.

No se si fue recalentado en el microondas o que, pero parece que fue así. Los patacones tienen que ser aplastados para que sean crujientes.

Dos platos, dos jugos = $75. Con propina= $90. Muy caro y la calidad no compensa.
