I've gone in and ordered from this place since it was Santiago's. Just ordered food for my family and it was an absolute hit. Rice was was amazing, chuleta was juicy and the au jus was perfect! My family enjoyed the tilapia and several pastelillos as well. Winner of the day, though, was the Puerto Rican rice. This place has been one of my favorite spots for many years with friendly people working there that make amazing food. Looking forward to going back soon. Thank you guys for the food!!

Disappointing First Experience I really wanted to like Jibarito Time, but unfortunately, my first visit left a lot to be desired. I placed a phone order for pickup -- just a classic jibarito and a small rice. I was told it would be ready in 15 minutes. I arrived 18 minutes later, rang the bell for service (as instructed), and a young man came out. He told me the total was $21, which didn't make sense since the jibarito is listed at $10.99 and the small rice at $4.99 on their website. I asked for a receipt to clarify the pricing, but I was completely ignored. I also asked for hot sauce -- he said he had included it in my container. When I got to my car and checked the bag, there was no hot sauce. I went back inside and mentioned it, and he seemed surprised but eventually gave me a packet. As for the food, I opened the box and was immediately a little disappointed. The jibarito was soggy, not crispy as it should be -- especially since I picked it up just 3 minutes after the time I was told. The steak was extremely dry and tough to chew. The arroz con gandules were also way too salty for my taste. The one thing I did enjoy was the garlic sauce -- that had good flavor. I believe this place has potential, but some key things need attention: food consistency, customer service, and transparency with pricing. Also, not giving receipts when asked is a big red flag. I hope things improve.

The rice was spectacular as were the jibaritos. My maduros however were a bit charred and not edible. The gentleman working was the only one there and there was only one other couple at the time so just be prepared to wait about 20 min for the food. It is fresh and tastey however.

The food was amazing. The portion is huge. The food we ordered was hot and delicious. The service was a 10. The ambiance was clean. I would come back next time I'm in town.

The jibarito was great, nice and crispy, the chicken sandwich was good as well, the rice was ok, could use more ingredients, it's been a while since I've been here, buy honestly they need more employees.

Was in the mood for Jibarito but didn't feel like driving into Chicago to pick one up so I decided to try this place out. Order an original Jibarito and the Maduros (fried sweet plantain), it was delicious; had good flavor! I enjoyed the Madras more than the sandwich to be honest. I wished the meat was a little thicker piece of meat. The sandwich also doesn't come with rice so you'll have to order that as an addition. Met the owner, he's definitely a strong personality but was super nice and explained the menu to me. It's small inside with about 10 small tables for dine. If I'm the area again, I would definitely stop by for a bite.

Liked it better when original owner owned it. She was heart & soul of the place. No rice anymore.

Perfect treat for a chilly day! I've eaten jibaritos and sides quite a bit in the past, so I'm not a newbie. First thing to know about this place is that the chef has created some very non-traditional jibarito combinations. Many of these creative "Chicago" combinations sounded tasty and I'm sure many people less familiar could be less hesitant to try them and enjoy them immensely! (You cold also order any as a bowl.) I was looking for a more traditional jibarito, so I went with the steak. It was delicious! All of this food was really fresh and perfectly-seasoned: thin crisp edged plantains and thin-sliced tender beef in the traditional steak jibaritos, flavorful arroz con gandoles, and crispy carmelized exterior/tender creamy interior maduros. We highly recommend it and will be back!

Incredible taste of everything we ordered: jibaritos, arroz con gandules, and Maduros. Very kind and attentive owner. Large portion sizes which is so rare these days. Even my Korean mother and sister in law loved it!
