I was born and raised in Chicago, but Jibarito sandwiches did not originate in Chicago. The first place to create the plantain sandwich was Platano Loco in Aguada, Puerto Rico.
Someone familiar with the rich gastronomical culture & dietary habits in all the diffent regions of Puerto Rico will definitely agree. It still amazes me the argument with the origins of the mofongo & mangú. 🤣
@Dani P si eres Boricua de verdad te lo voy a explicar en español, el Platano Loco comenzó a crear el sandwich de platano en el 1991, yo nací y me crie en Chicago y para ese entonces en Chicago ningun restaurante puertorriqueño confeccionaba el sandwich de platano... Gracias
@Dani P no entiendo muy bien tu lectura; pero Borinquen Restaurant quien fue el primero en Chicago en confeccionar el sandwich de platano comenzó a servirlos para el 1996 mas o menos.
Sorry not to bash La Bomba Buuut lol the best #1 Jibarito is sold at Jibaritos y Mas. La Bomba used to be the joint everyone went until Jibaritos Y Ma's Opened. Little quick story how it opened and no I dont own or work there I live in Chicago now, but the owner used to work as the head manager for Ponce Restaurant which is the #1 Puerto Rican Restaurant everyone knows that just go there yourself and you'll see what I mean. Either or both have same recipes and the taste is Authentic!! La Bomba is #3 in Chicagos best
I love Jibaritos y mas. Plus last time I went they were closed n so I went to la bomba. Never will I go again. They had a ride ass waitress... N my food was cold. Nothing worse than cold tostones
Jibaritos y mas is the spot if u want some delicious Puerto Rican food. Fullerton n Kimball. I've been going there since fat Joe the rapper went... I've been hooked since...
@Giovanni Chapel Okay I am 100% Italain and am used to stacks of meat on my sandwich; same for the Jewish deli sandwiches piled a mile high! That's what I am talkin about bro!! Enjoy!
I can't take it to go the food is so good I go in and sit down and take my time eating lol but me being from humboldt park and Puerto Rico best Puerto Rican food hands down
Did anybody else hear her say HUMBLE Park? Or was it just me? By the way La Bomba is the best Puerto Rican restaurant in Chicago by far. Saludos desde Puerto Rico.
This place is infested with cockroaches! My family used to love coming here. Naver again! Family members and friends have all seen cockroaches on different occasions. One crawled on my grandmothers arm. Poor abuela!
A Chicago creation? So it's not a typical meal you'd see in Puerto Rico? Either way I'd never order one, I cant get past the banana. Banana smothered in Mayo..... yuck!
All the ingredients are food u will eat in Puerto Rico...... It's just put together like a sandwich..... Just take it apart and u have a Puerto Rican dish
First of all the Jibarito is not a Chicago creation it's actually a native Puerto Rican creation and, second those are not bananas they're plantains...
Ya, a Chicago Puerto Rican made it and as far as I know, Chicago is the only place on the continental USA you can get it. And it's not a banana, it's a plantain.
I love Chicago!!❤❤❤😍😍😍😍😍

@@davidsamuel6018 Mofongo is a traditional Puerto Rican dish while Mangú is a traditional Dominican dish.

"There can only be one good place to get good food, other places that serve it are automatically a 0/10!" You people are stupid.

Too greasy man and not enough meat bro put some more meat 🍖

Just like Chinese food as America knows it is not from China. :P
Jose Velazquez Maybe baby steps, try the plantain first by itself. Never Mayo tho.
All the ingredients are food u will eat in Puerto Rico...... It's just put together like a sandwich.....
Just take it apart and u have a Puerto Rican dish

Ya, a Chicago Puerto Rican made it and as far as I know, Chicago is the only place on the continental USA you can get it.
And it's not a banana, it's a plantain.
Nah Papa Caches Sabroso is the best
