Super friendly service. Nice outdoor seating area. Loads of insects in the area; wear insect spray! I got an alcpapurria and my partner got an empanada. Both were excellent. Fresh. Crispy. I would come back again and again for these. We both also got Bistec sandwiches. The bread was fantastic. The steak wasn't charred enough for my liking. The sandwich had way too much sauce. It was tasty, but I wouldn't run back for this. The portions were huge.

Our second visit to La Casa del Jibarito, and once again, we were not disappointed. The food is…read moreabsolutely amazing--a true taste of Puerto Rico that nourishes both the body and soul and instantly takes us back home. What truly sets this restaurant apart is their exceptional customer service. We ordered arroz mamposteado without amarillos, and instead of simply removing them, the kitchen went above and beyond and prepared it from scratch to accommodate our request. That level of care and attention is rare to find. Every bite was packed with authentic Puerto Rican flavor, made with love and pride. If you're looking for genuine Puerto Rican cuisine and hospitality that makes you feel like family, La Casa del Jibarito is a must-visit. We can't wait to come back again!

I loved the seasoning. Unfortunately my arroz con gandules didn't have that much pigeon peas in it. It was still good though. Hubby had steak & garlic chicken W/ rice & black beans, which he loved! Our friend had a double smash burger, which she liked. Service was good. I would come back here if I lived closer. Unfortunately, we live 45mins away. I recommend everyone try this place! If we do come back, I would love to try their Carne Frita Mofongo.

Pros: Nice garlic…read morebuttery taste of shrimp and mofongo. The beans were nice too. There were two starches and two proteins, so I had almost half for leftovers. 8.5/10 Nice clean cafe with polite servers. There is both indoor and outdoor seating available. Adequate parking outside. It is on the end of a tan plaza on the opposite end from the Shamrocks pub. Cons The price on the menu for the mofongo shrimp bowl was $18. However, when inserting my card for the reader, it said "$20". There is a lot of starch in the mofongo bowl since there is rice and plantains .It would have been nice to see a little bit of veggies in there. Others have posted pictures with a side salad with their mofongo. Maybe I ordered the wrong item? Overall: a very good Boricua restaurant in temple terrace.
