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.

Me and my fiancé went to this restaurant right after Church, after seeing some food pictures…read moreonline, and this is our first and most likely last. We were greeted by a waitress... a couple mins. We received a complimentary noodle soup, we ate it and it was delicious. We had 2 waiters taking care of us. We then proceeded to tell him our order A couple apps, and a couple entrees for me and her.... I can't recall how long we waited to get our appetizers, but it wasn't too long..... so, we ate them slowly, thinking we were going to get our meals very soon. But that didn't happen... Our waiter then says to us, please be patient, our food takes time to make, so we didn't think anything about at the time..... but I started to notice.... One side of the restaurant, looks empty, and we sat right by the kitchen, and the other side.... I couldn't see if there was people or not..... and it's now, 30 mins in and all I see are, 3-4 waiters just hauling food to one side of the restaurant and we still haven't got an update, no one showed up to our table with food or nothing, now it's past 45 mins in.... And me and my fiancé are getting irritated and pissed... she got up and asked about the food and the waiter just nonchalantly tells her, it's coming out.... Now, it's over an hour and we're beyond pissed.... Everyone around us, receiving food but us. We didn't even order but 2 appetizers and 2 small entrees..... it was so bad, got into an argument with the staff and they comp us one meal and that's it. And made them wrap up our food to go. I hope they fix that, Because that's ridiculous and just disrespectful to us to make us wait for over an hour. It's our first time and most likely our last......

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!

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!

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.

We ordered the masitas, the lechon, the churrasco, and the chicken chicharones. As sides, we tried the white rice and beans, mofongo, and french fries.

The chicken was tasty but also overfried. Probably wouldn't order delivery from them again.
