4.6 / 5
The plantains are perfectly thin and crispy, and the garlic oil is life-changing. Best jibarito in the city, hands down.

The jibarito is a Chicago invention, and Papa's small, island-y cafe is a terrific place to try one.

The 'Home of the Jibarito' remains the standard. The steak is nice and tender with a slightly creamy garlic oil.

The plantains were smashed thin and cooked properly, same goes for the steak which had actual char. It all stayed together while eating.
