Jibarito Time Inc, Chicago Style Plantain Sandwiches

The day I went here it was a wild go , but when I did the food was very good and they were friendly. I have been thinking of going again. It's a Puerto Rican Restaurant .

Disgusting!!!! I should've known it wasn't going to be good as it was ready in less than 5 minutes! There's nothing authentic about this! It's a fraud of a jibarito sandwich! Plantain tastes old! Meat tastes boxed and freezer burned almost. Highly overpriced for the quality you receive. I'm typing this from the parking lot! Never again!!!!

Tried the steak jibarito and some maduros. It was tasty. They were out of fries when I went there. So, sometimes you have this platonic ideal version of a sandwich. You regularly went to a place and really liked something and you go to another place, they opted to close and now you look for a replacement and you are a bit disappointed it isn't that. This is a very good sandwich. It may not quite be my new ideal, but I expect I will go periodically. There is a lot of variety I look forward to exploring. They have a veggie and tilapia option I will have to have my wife sample as she, too, is chasing a no longer available sandwich from another place. Another bit to point out is airport proximity. Last minute panic dining of a fairly unique Chicago sandwich? Quick pickup treat as a bonus for airport pickups/dropoffs? Food for the plane? It isn't quite right there but it is a reasonable nearby option for something not well represented in the suburbs. Vegetarian options: They gave a vegetarian option and talk about potentially making it vegan. Untried so, not sure how it goes. Parking: Small strip mall lot, generally not too bad. Kid-friendliness: There is a kids menu. Food is reasonably friendly for adventurous kids. My kids like maduros. Wheelchair accessibility: Didn't see anything too unusual for accessibility but didn't look too hard.

Once again NOT OPEN DURING POSTED BUSINESS HOURS!!! 1/17/24 10:10am There’s a sign on the door that states they closed early yesterday but will reopen 1/17 (today) at normal business hours. I’ve been here 45 minutes waiting for them to open and no one is here. This is the closest PR restaurant near me. And that’s the only reason I continue to attempt to come. But this is almost every time I come. So disappointing

You are doing yourselves a severe deprivation unless you go and check out this absolute GEM of spot. Please is small inside, but absolutely clean and pleasant... you can dine-in, takeout, or cater. I have had most of their sandwiches... my only problem is deciding which I like best. Just today I had them cater my portion of a work potluck lunch... ordered their tostones and maduros as sides for 25 people. I had the pleasure of working directly with the owner on the order.... very professional gentlemen. Food is amazing.

The best JIBARITO!!! The steak was tender and juicy.. I love the combo meal and the option to create your own Jibarito.. Come EAT, you won't be disappointed!!!

Just had the sriracha sandwich as well as the breaded chicken they were both great!!!
