Reviews for Cuisine De Jibarito in Melrose Park, IL
Food was amazing. First time there. My wife and I were craving jibaritos and we usually go around humbolt park restaurants for... PR food. This time we found one closer since we live south and I don?t regret going here. Food was fresh, rice was on point,jibaritos were as good as the other restaurants we?ve been to. Atmosphere was great as well as the music. Can?t complain. Wewill be back again. My kids liked the food too. Read more
Nice place, friendly waiter, cute platters? but everyone in the restaurant that was there including my group was all getting... their food separately. You should prepare the food so each table gets their food at the same time, not everyone else at thetable waiting ten minutes while one person has their food. Also, I ordered white rice and beans. The beans had no flavor. Theybarely had any jugito. I don?t even think they use tomato sauce in the beans. They were horrible. Even the little bit of jugitothey did have was very watery, they should be saucy?ruined the white rice. The jibarito was good. A bit more expensive than PRrestaurants in the city but understandable because the area may not attract as many people. Work on your bean recipe and youshould be ok. Read more

The food was great, it did take alot longer then expected to get out food being that we were almost the only ones left in the... restaurant. Once we received our orders the food was great. My chicken was nice and crunchy and the fried bananas tasted prettygood. The relleno de papa could have been better also well. The other thing the music playing was way too loud we had to yell atone point to to hear each other. Read more
I accidentally came across this blessing looking for some coffee after drinking all night ???? Now I am from Humboldt park, born... and raised, and I have to say they are neck to neck maybe even better ???????? than my favorite puerto rican restaurants inHumboldt park. The food is fresh and hot, flavourful, mouth watering, with a BEAUTIFUL presentation ???? I can't wait to go backand make this a regular spot! Read more
Well my husband did not enjoy his food, but mine was delicious. I had the jibarito and it was fire, he had his food on a torta,... so I think that was his issue. I loved all the decorations they have and the service was good as well. I'd go back. Read more
Not terrible, but also not the best. It is located across from Melrose Park police station. There is a few parking spots in... front or you have to try to find street parking on the side. This is the only PR option in the area. Inside is casual andrelaxing. The ambiance is like a sports bar, even has custom Chicago Cubs theme seats and a section dedicated specifically forthe cubs. They have a full bar and it looked like on their patio they had a pool table. It is a little bit smaller, even thebathroom is small and it is shared. The service was good, our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She let me try a sampleof jugo de parcha since it was my first time and it was so tasty! They do have reasonable pricing too and a good size menu witha variety of different options for breakfast or lunch. It was nice each table had a picture stand of the different food options.The wood piece the food is plated on was beautiful and a great touch for presentation. The food lacked a little bit of flavorbesides the rice. The rice was absolutely delicious! The plantain for the jibarito during my visit was soggy/soft instead ofcrispy. I know each place makes it different, but if they could have cooked it a little longer it would have been better. Read more
First time here today. Totally worth eating here. The place is warm cozy and nice people. The food is fresh and hot. And also... the prices are totally fair. I will be having more dinners here more often since there isn?t a whole lot of puerto ricanrestaurants in the area. Thank you guys for the delicious food. Totally recommend this place ???? percent.
