Really hit. Garlic took it over the top. Quick efficient service in the take out location 10 minutes before closing. Did not disappoint. read more

Just purchased a large order of pastel from this location and they were all burnt They were sticking to the foil, and the banana leaf was sticking to them huge waste of money I'm very surprised because you usually have very good pastel. read more

Relaxed counter-service spot with huge portions. The Alcapurria (6.5/10) had a thin, crispy exterior with a moist pork-filled center, but was pretty oily. The Beef Pastelillo (6.5/10) had good seasoning and flavor, but seemed like it had been sitting for a while, so the crust wasn't as crispy as I wanted. The Rellenos (7.5/10) had a slightly crisp exterior with a soft potato shell. The beef was a little dry, but still delicious and satisfying. The Pasteles (5/10) weren't really for me. The tamale itself was fine, but I didn't love the pieces of pork inside. The Carne Frita (4/10) was way too dry and chewy, though I liked the seasoning. Very oily, especially around the skin but expected. The Bistec Jibarito (6/10) was my first time trying a jibarito. The plantain was almost rubbery and overall it was pretty mid. The Mofongo Lechón (6.5/10) had a great texture, but way too much garlic for me. Dipping it in the caldo de res made it much better though. The lechón was juicy on the bottom but dry on top. Overall, not everything hit, but the huge portions for $51 make this a great value to try everything. read more

If you visit Chicago, you MUST visit this place. My wife and I got the steak jibarito to share and wish we had gotten individual ones. We also ordered the passion fruit juice. 10/10, would recommend. read more

Ordered 1 Lechon Jibarito, 1 Bistec Jibarito, 3 Rellenos and 2 Bistec Empanados. Lechon was a tad dry, but the Bistec Jibarito was OUT OF THIS WORLD. The rellenos and empanadas were decent, but the sandwich was the star of the show. I was a bit worried about how the jibaritos would hold up during our 30 minute ride home since we ordered takeout, but everything was still hot and crunchy, absolute perfection. Sweetest staff, too. read more

It was my first time having Puerto Rican food, and I loved it. My favorites were the lechon jibarito and the mofongo. I also loved the side of rice with the jibaritos, it was really well seasoned. Portions were generous too. There's a shop for takeout only on the corner of the street, and two storefronts down is the sit down restaurant. I highly recommend this spot! read more

This place is a classic for a reason. The jibaritos are good - I came here most recently because my friend is a vegetarian and really likes it here, so shoutout delicious vegetarian options. She got a vegetable jibarito and a side of mofongo. I enjoyed trying her mofongo and eating my steak jibarito, but the absolute highlight for me was the alcapurria. Sooooo good. read more

Cute restaurant! Clean bathrooms and lots of tables. We accidentally entered the "to-go" location and were redirected down the block for the actual restaurant (basically next door). Service was friendly and prompt. They refill your water all the time :] My sister liked her jibarito, but the vegetarian one was pretty bland. It needed salt or cheese or something to balance everything. Bread and butter are delicious. read more

Super fast super efficient staff and super yummy Puerto Rican food. My favorite place in the world for Jibaritos. I like food here more than in Ouerto Rico. Try it. There's a separate take out store on the same street as the restaurant. read more

Looking for great Puerto Rican food and options for vegetarians? Try this spot! Ordered some Tostones and Mofongo w/pork. I also ordered the Jibarrito Steak sandwich. It comes with puerto rican rice - it was phenomenal! All of the food was fantastic! I could not find an entire menu or website online however, but we ordered through DoorDash and it contained some photos of some of the entrees too. This helped. I thought the Mofongo was a bit dry, but everything else was phenomenal! I would definitely recommend here for great Puerto Rican Food! read more

Wow, I can see why this place has great reviews! Jibaritos may be a Puertorrican dish but they were born right here in Chicago, massive portions for $9.20 plus a side of rice (more like a tray of rice) for $4.25 and alcapurrias at $2 a pop, where else can you find prices like that especially in this economy lol? Everyone working was wonderful & they were non stop busy the whole time. They have a separate restaurant and a to-go store right next to each other. Worth the trip! read more

This was my first time trying jiberitos and I am obsessed. We found this place through reddit recommendations when we were planning our Chicago trip itinerary and I am so glad we went here. The place is fairly easy to get to with public transportation. There is a separate location for take out and dine in orders but they are located very close to one another so it shouldn't be a problem navigating. We got seated pretty quickly and the staff were super nice. They gave us some bread and butter while we waited for our food. We got the bistek (steak) jiberito and it was delicious. The fried plantains were so good and the garlic smothered on top of it added a nice punch. The meat inside was soft was juicy. The lettuce and onions in the sandwich really tied it all together. I think I need a separate paragraph for the sauce that came with the jiberito. It was spicy in all the right ways and we were obsessed with it. For dessert, we got their Guava Quesitos. They were good but a little too sweet for my preference. I contemplated moving to Chicago just to eat here more often. read more

Amazing Puerto Rican food. I cannot wait to go back. I ordered the skirt steak with rice and beans and chimichurri. It came with plantain. It was so delicious. Very savory and juicy. The beans and rice complimented the skirt steak so well. The chimichurri added this amazing fresh tanginess to every bite. I didn't need to add any extra sauce or anything to my meal. My boyfriend ordered a steak jarbarrito with no cheese. They got the order wrong and had cheese on it, they took it back and pulled the cheese off of it. They did not remake it unfortunately. Making the best out of it he still enjoyed his jarbarito. His only qualm was that the plantain buns were not even on both sides. The ratio of meat to bun is extensive. But It looked and smelled so good! We also ordered passionfruit juice, I don't suggest to order that because it's the blue can juice from the market. It is not natural passionfruit juice. Our waiter was not the best. They do have a lady server in there. We wish we had her because she was very tentative and did end up helping our server out. Ambience was very clean. It does get packed quickly. All in all great experience, we will be back! read more

I've never had a jibaritos before. Never even heard of it. But I was introduced to this place by a friend and I. AM. HOOKED. I'll be back and I plan to bring friends here too. Apparently, according to help, Jibaritos are sandwiches originating from Chicago's puerto rico community. We ordered a jibaritos (pulpo y camarones - octopus and shrimp). The bread is a deep fried plantain, which at first didn't sound that appetizing to me, but it was perfect. Inside is mayo, cheese, tomatoes, lettuce, onions, and lots of garlic. The garlic was very strong in this, which I loved. But beware (or maybe ask for less if you're not a garlic fan). The octopus was good, but it wasn't really necessary for me. But the shrimp was really good (way beyond what I expected it to be). Fresh, great texture, really tasty. I'm definitely going to be coming back to get another shrimp jibaritos next time (and try more). The sandwiches are HUGE by the way. We only ate this as a snack, so I can't say how much I'd normally be able to eat. But it was so good, that next time, I am going to order one for myself. Thank you Jibaritos y Mas. See you again soon! read more

Jibaritos y Más serves the best jibarito around! The flavors are bold and perfectly balanced, and the hot glass options are a nice touch with plenty of variety.

Came here with a friend from out of town and wanted something different. This place was busy but we got seated almost immediately. They moved around some chairs and tables for us. We sat right near the door next to two other pairs of people, which felt cramped but I was glad we got seated right away. Our server didn't speak much English, but luckily I know Spanish which helped! I got the steak sandwich. I asked for no mayo, but there was still mayo on it. That said, the food was delicious and a large portion, especially for the price! Great, authentic food! read more

Wanted to try a jibarito while I'm here in Chicago and wow I'm very impressed! This surpassed my expectations. The plantains were cooked so well, had a nice crisp and flavor. The garlic on top was soooo good--I just wish that they put the garlic inside the sandwich so your hands wouldn't get so dirty. The beef and vegetables were great. No complaints at all and will for sure come back if I visit again! read more

For the love of the almighty jibarito, I can't believe it took me so long to discover this jibarito wonderland. I also can't believe it took me so long to write this review, seeing as I visited Jibaritos y Mas late last summer. For years, I was a Papas Cache y Sabroso devotee and still love it. I later discovered Jibarito Stop in Pilsen, which I adore. And then, this place popped up on my jibarito search on a Sunday, when my other two places were closed. My daughter and I decided to hit up this place on an early Sunday evening to grab to-go dinners, but quickly found out there was a sit-down restaurant next door. Although the place was jam-packed and jumpin with a lot of families having Sunday dinner, we were quickly seated at the first available table. The runners immediately delivered water and table settings and shortly thereafter, our friendly server came over and took our orders. Typically I would get a jibarito, but this day I went with the Mofongo while my daughter ordered the steak jibarito and we both had the refreshing parchas (passionfruit punch). Our food was delivered promptly and we dug in. Yes, yes and more yes. Everything was so delicious and perfectly seasoned and the portions were healthy. We had food to take home and enjoy later. The best part of family-style restaurants is the amazing food, the large portions, affordable price tags and amazing service. These type of restaurants value their customers and go out of their way to provide great customer service. Who wouldn't want to return? This is how they stay in business for so long. Although Jibaritos y Más is far from home, I cherish the day we can go back! read more

my first ever jibarito!!!!! i did a ton of research to find the best place to go for this iconic puerto rican sandwich that originated in Chicago, and pretty much everyone recommended Jibaritos y Más, and it did NOT disappoint. i am now a jibarito convert and i fear i cannot go to any other place to try one now because the jibarito con lechon here was soo delicious. my friends got the jibarito con bistec and that was also delicious!! doubt you could go wrong with any of the options here. our servers were rlly nice & service was quick! i think it's great they have a separate building solely for take-out orders (and speaks to the demand!) because I assume it allows them to focus more diligently on the in-person experience. i would recommend jibaritos y mas to anyone who wants to try a jibarito for the first time because I had a wonderful experience here! read more

It's been a long time since I've been to this location I used to go here in the 1990s it used to look like a hole in the wall now it looks more modern not necessarily bougie. Anyways I had a craving for bistek with arroz con grandules. I've been going to the one by Harlem and Belmont and I went yesterday but I was disappointed because despite that they close at 8:00 p.m. they couldn't have service at 7:30 to dining in I guess I was too late. Well today I went to this location cuz it was closer to after I left work and had a craving for bistek. It seems that the portions here are larger than the one in Harlem and Belmont. Ambience was more modern now and doesn't look like a hole in the wall service was decently friendly. My only thing despite that I like potato balls or rellenos de Papa. I was a little disappointed because it looked like it was too deep fried. It was black like it was burnt. It's still tasted good with the filling of beef it's just it was a little burnt thus the four out of five stars I will be coming back for the beef stew read more

If you ever go to Chicago make sure you stop at Jibaritos Y Mas. This place is great! The Jibarito lived up to all the hype I saw online. It was so good. The steak was seasoned beautifully, the garlic seasoning added a nice touch to it. Plantains instead of bread, sign me up! Definitely check this place out. It is super casual and the staff was very friendly. read more

I would recommend calling maybe 2 hours in advance if placing order. It doesn't matter what you order. It will take longer than it should.

I usually go there with my family (5 of us). I ordered a lot of food for myself for the weekend. The beans were a bit salty. Manager said he had people check it and he said they weren't. I also ordered 2 flans. Did not have the caramelized sugar on top, so it had no flavor, very bland. The manager said , sometimes they put the sugar on top and sometimes they don't. They are not consistent with their food. So we will not be going there any more. He said there wasn't anything he could do. Oh well. Your loss read more

I was very excited to try Puerto Rican food for the first time. My boyfriend and I came for a late lunch and there was plenty of seating. The staff here is extremely friendly and welcoming! I ordered the Cubano Jibarito's and my boyfriend got the Lechón Jibarito's. You definitely get your bang for your buck as the portion sizes are big. If you didn't know a jibarito is a sandwich, but with fried plantains instead of bread. They were both really good and you can't go wrong with either. It just depends on what type of meat you want. Highly recommend you try this place out. Next door they also have a to go option! read more

Dare I say...better than the other popular Puerto Rican restaurant on Division...? Just maybe! Was feenin' for a jibarito and wanted to try a new place, so found this place on Yelp. Excellent wait service, authentic flavors, timely food preparation, an extensive (but comprehensive) menu, and it's BYOB! The steak jibarito was so big and filling, I could only eat half of it. I tried mofongo for the first time, and the beef stew with it was so seasoned, you could eat it by itself. Can't wait to visit again! read more

My favorite Puerto Rican place in the city. Food is amazing and the service is great. You need to go here.

Best jibaritos in Chicago! I also really like the breaded steak sandwich. And don't get me started on the rice - it is so delicious. The sauce that comes with the meals is also very yummy. I have never dined in, but pickup does take a while, as it is always very crowded, for good reason. There is a dine-in section and another entrance for pick-up orders. And all of this for a very reasonable price. read more

I don't know why I keep on coming to this place. Went there yesterday to have dinner with my family and I was so disappointed my food was okay. My plantings got there right when I was almost done eating. I had to ask the waiter for my food. I ordered some other stuff. Looked like it was sitting there forever hard not flavorful. The rice was a little bit hard I don't know. I keep on giving these people a chance and I don't think I'll be ever going there again. Service was okay. I felt like the guy was not being very attentive but it is what it is. This was inside the restaurant, not the takeout part read more

Absolutely amazing! I ordered the bistec jibarito, the portion is huge, the meat is tender, but the most amazing part is the plantain with the garlic on top. The flavour is so distinct, and I can still feel it couple hours later. I can't say how much I enjoyed the food. One side of shop is for take out and the other side is for dine in. Take out opens early, and usually online information shows the opening time of the take out, not the dining area. So if you want to sit down, make sure to come closer to noon time to avoid disappointment. There are many local people come to purchase food, they are busy but the service is very fast. Highly recommend read more
