Jibaritos de la Isla
4.3 (184)restaurant
4.3 (184)East Village spot for Puerto Rican comfort food, serving crisp, garlicky plantain sandwiches built without bread.
Description
Owned and operated by Ana Rivera, who was raised in Chicago’s Humboldt Park, the kitchen pairs Puerto Rican staples with Dominican comfort food. While the namesake jibaritos pack savory fillings between garlic-flavored, flattened green plantains, the menu also features dishes like lechon, tostones, and flancocho.
