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 it’s worth the wait.

Oh wow, The Jibarito Stop is one stop I would make on a weekly basis! The food her on par with any Puerto Rican shop in the city! Quality is definitely what TJS is known for in my book! The service on the other hand was pretty slow but, the quality of the food made up for that. The atmosphere made me think about being in an island space. If you wanna make that stop make it to The Jibarito Stop!

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 15-20 mins.

This has been one of my FAVORITE Puerto Rican restaurants for YEARS, but recently they added a VEGAN MENU!!!!
Yes – VEGAN PUERTO RICAN FOOD and it’s SO GOOD!!!
Since I don’t eat pork or beef, I tend to miss out on some of my Puerto Rican foods that I used to love but what they offer?!? I forgot that I wasn’t eating meat!
The STK Mofongo was heavenly! Those plantain mash with all the flavors and seasonings, all the garlic – my goodness!!!!
The vegan appetizers were super good too!!! The empanada was my favorite- cheese, sweet plantains and “beef.” I could eat a whole basket of them!
And of course I had to get a chicken jibarito bc it’s one of my favorite foods! Their chicken is so well seasoned and moist!
If you want AUTHENTIC Puerto Rican food with some CRAZY GOOD VEGAN PUERTO RICAN FOOD options – get here and tell em that Bri from Planes and Plates sent you!

So where do I start for over all experience. Let’s start with the good and end with the bad.
Walked in and atmosphere was good salsa music playing, wanted to start dancing, great pr decors on the wall, domino tables outside. To get service you order at the register and they give u a number and bring food out to you. I don’t like that, I like full table service like a waiter or waitress. We ordered a mix of appetizers, jibarito sandwich with white rice and habichelas. All the food had the same taste, which tells me they were cooked in the same old oil. I’ve had worst but I have had better.
I think I would give them one more try when in the area to see if it was just a bad day for them or if this place is truly bad.

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

This is a solid counter-order spot on Pilsen’s 18th St. serving flavorful, garlicky jibaritos, plates, etc. It wasn’t too crowded for a Saturday lunch, but most of the tables were full. The inside ambience is chill and relaxed. I ordered the Vegan Steak Mofongo Plate and Full Chicken Jibarito to share with one other person, and it was a hefty amount of food that left us both quite full and satisfied.
Both tasted flavorful, but overly salty, as we were both extremely thirsty afterwards. And although I’m normally a huge fan of garlic, I must say that the garlic flavor in both dishes was a bit overpowering. I personally liked the Vegan Steak Mofongo Plate better, as it had a more eclectic mix of textures and flavors, from the delicious beans mixed in rice to the vegan steak and soft, garlicky mash exterior. The jibarito was similarly flavorful but difficult to consume cohesively in one piece.
The prices are pretty fair, especially for the portion sizes. Although I didn’t love how salty and overly garlicky the food was, it did hit the spot overall and I would love come back to try the other items on the menu.

I’m having trouble reading this restaurant. Although it looks like a Jibarito, it does not taste like one. It’s flavorful it’s just definitely but as a Chicago Puerto Rican, the flavor that I would expect is not there. The interior of the restaurant was really nice and the service was great, but whomever season this food did not season it with Puerto Rican seasonings and if they did, I would not be able to tell. The presentation of the sandwiches also really messy. I don’t think I’ll be visiting this place again although it was nice, I just expected better in flavor.

I’m 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 myself. The food and service was excellent but is pricey for 18th street. I’m also cheap and old so maybe for hip young people they will say it’s normal price. I will say the food was worth every penny.

The Jibarito Shop is a gem of a place in Pilsen in Chicago. Street parking was plenty on a weekday afternoon and staff really friendly.
I ordered the full/ grande Jibarito steak sandwich, a spicy beef empanada, chicken fritter and a Mexican Coke. The empanada is a deep-fried pocket of deliciousness and had just the right amount of spice and a great amount beef. The orange dipping sauce elevates the flavor and taste. After scarfing down the empanada, I split open the fritter to also find a tasty treat of minced chicken and potato. The “sandwich” was a bit disappointing with the bread to filling ratio as I thought it came with plantains and rice. My mistake but it was good, just not that great of a steak sandwich. Will have to specifically order the “Jibaritos with Rice” and not Bread Sandwich next trip. All in all Jibarito Shop delivered a great 4 star meal.
