Crispy plantain jibaritos with roast pork, octopus, and more
"This Puerto Rican spot has some of Chicago's best jibaritos. Their crispy plantain sandwiches come with all sorts of fillings like tender steak with grilled onions, blood sausage, or juicy roast pork. Plus, at around $10 each, they're affordable. But what completes each sandwich is their potent garlic spread that adds flavor, and also ensures that no one will want to ride the elevator with you. They have three locations: Dunning, Logan Square, and Lincoln Park which has a full bar and is more of a sit-down restaurant." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor
"This Puerto Rican restaurant has some of the city’s best jibaritos. Their crispy plantain sandwiches come with an assortment of fillings like thin steak with grilled onions, blood sausage, or juicy roast pork. Plus, they’re affordable, hovering around $10. But what completes each sandwich is they're topped with a potent layer of their garlic spread—it not only adds zestiness, but also keeps people from invading our personal space. They have two other locations in Dunning and Logan Square, but this one has a full bar and is more of a sit-down spot." - sam faye, adrian kane, john ringor, veda kilaru

"Jibaritos y Más is planning to open a new location in Lincoln Park. The restaurant is known for its Puerto Rican-inspired jibarito sandwich, which uses smashed and fried young plantain pieces in place of bread. The new location will feature a bar, contrasting with the BYOB policy at the other locations. The menu will also include empanadas, in addition to the traditional garlicky jibarito with shredded beef or thin-cut steak, mayo, tomatoes, and lettuce, as well as chicken, pork, and octopus variants." - Elias Cepeda
"Mike Sula checks in on growing sandwich empire Jibaritos y Mas. Venezuelan native Yelitza Rivera has mastered the Puerto Rican specialty and will soon open a fourth location of her popular shop in Lincoln Park. The jibaritos — filled with roast pork, chicken, octopus, blood sausage, and more — are best experienced by attacking them with two hands while they’re still piping hot. The cuchifrito game is also 'extraordinary,' featuring items like 'shatteringly crispy' pollo frito and mofongo, garlicky mashed plantain that reveals its 'true textural dimensions when eaten on the spot.'" - Jeffy Mai
