Been a minute, but wandered into Jibaritos y Más for a solo lunch today.
Bistec jibarito (no tomato) was killer. Steak perfectly seasoned and tender, tons of onions, and plantains were the optimal thickness and fried just right.
Not sure there’s a better Arroz Gandueles in Chicago. It’s a punchy flavor bomb in all the best ways – especially with the hot sauce.
As a South Florida born and raised kid, Jibaritos y Más always hits the spot for Puerto Rican food.
Aside: I still can’t find Cuban food here (25 years later) that hits the same way for me. Any amazing Cuban spots I’m missing? I feel like I’ve tried them all but hoping I have not.
