The pasteles are the best Puerto Rican pasteles I've tried next to my grandma's homemade ones. I was so impressed!! You can't find these anywhere else. #amazing!
if your are new try this: Start with an Alcapurria as an app, then get the Steak Jibarito with extra garlic and Arroz con Gandules . Wash it down with Paracha(Passion Fruit Juice ).
This is the where the Jibarito , a sandwich with fried plantains instead of bread , was first made.
Food is good but I miss New Yorkrican food. Also takes a while to get food so don't come in a rush or your lunch break. They have take out but again food is good.
Fyi: you're not limited to arroz con gandules when ordering a Jibarito ! Feel free to ask for white rice & beans!! Yum!
Arroz con gandules were my favorite thing here. Personally think there are better jibaritos in the area, but still solid.
The mofongo is pure garlicky bliss. As good as it is back on the island .
I've had better jibaritos ! The papa rellenas skin was all hard, when usually u get to eat the whole thing, I was lucky I got papa and beef in it.
I can't stand the service here but the food is always good. That's why I get my food to go lol
The BEST Chicken Jibarito I've ever had!!
Order the rice with gandules and lechon platter. Finger licking good!!
Vegetarian Jibaritos are too good. I'll take my sandwich between plantains any day.
Call ahead and pick up orders go faster.
Best arroz con gandules EVER!!!
The jibarito with rice is amazing
The jibaritos...oh my! They're so good that there's a mural of one on the back wall.
On busy days, be prepared to wait for dine in service. But it's SO worth the wait!
Agreed !!! Service sucks a$$! But Jibarito is great.
The jibarito is a must-eat!
The relleno de papa is sooo FUCKIN awesome!
Steak Jibarito & Cola champagne yummy.....
Food is GREAT! I rather take it to go because the restaurant needs a make over. Very old and run down.
Dam this is so good
El mofongo is freaking awesome!!!
All Jibaritos comes with a side of arroz con gandules .
The food is delicious but the service really sucks!!!

Lechon Jibaritos and Arroz con Gandules
Jibarito de lechon
Really nice people, and great food. Love the chicken plate and steak jibarito. - Amando Lucas
Ask for the veggie jibarito. It's loaded with avocado, peppers, cheese and tomatoes and is heaven between two plantains. - Tom Bellino
Pretty nice place to go for a walk. They have baseball and soccer fields. Would be a nice place for a picnic - Ron Spinabella
Ice cream and ice cream treats!! Oh yeah, good candy too! - Tracy Takacs
