“Gorgeous atmosphere! Waitress was friendly and helpful. Got the Jibarito with Puerto Rican rice. Delicious. Amazing Pina Coladas!! I over ate because I couldn't put it down LOL”
“La comida estaba muy rica, aunque se tardó un poco en llegar. El personal fue muy amable y el ambiente es lo que podrías esperar de un restaurante latino”
“I Walted for months for Jibarito to open in our area. Every time I drive by, there is a line of customers waiting at any time of the day. Yesterday I finally got to go for brunch. It was just how I expected it. DELICIOUS. I'm glad to have a piece of portorrican food so close now. The frituras were good and my Jibarito sandwich was everything n better”
“Todo excelente, la comida riquísima, el ambiente genial y la comida deliciosa, y cuenta con un espacio para fotos bellísimo , murales hermosos 💯 recomendado 💕”
“THE BEST EMPANADAS IVE EVER HAD!! The beef one is the best ! The yucca fries were so good I do wish they had a sauce to with them or more seasoning but I’m not mad lol !!”
“What a great place. Friendly staff, and excellent food. I have been here a few times. I used to order food from here when I lived in the neighborhood. Today I went with a lechon asada sandwich with PR rice and started with an alcapurria. Washed it down with a kola champagne. Everything was great and fast. And talk about an absolutely huge menu. You could eat here a year and not have the same thing.”
“Delicioso el jibarito ropa vieja, 🤤 y una gata fresca de guaraná super recomendado y tienen mucha variedad para todo tipo de gustos..”
“This establishment truly exceeded my expectations; the cuisine was superb. I had the pleasure of trying the mofongo, and it was excellent. The plantains were perfectly prepared and complemented the sauce wonderfully, and the skirt steak was cooked to perfection. My wife enjoyed the jibarito immensely. We certainly plan to return for another visit.”
“Food is great but when I ordered the tres leches cake to go at $5.25/piece, you would think they would give you a decent size. What I found after getting home was a disappointment. So maybe not get the cake next time for us.”
“Ordered a jibarito with chicken, extra crispy, extra garlic and no tomato.. barely any cheese, they got the no tomato right but that's it.. disappointed, been wanting to try it and now I'll never go back. Rice was decent though. Ordered online so cant speak on the rest, food was ready when I got there.”
