With 30 years of experience, our two Chef's, Carmelo Santiago and Domenico Caprara, are excited to present their creative and unique plantain sandwiches to you. Our vision, as the Jibarito Time family, is to introduce as many people as we can to Chicago's greatest creation- the Jibarito. Stop in and our caring and committed staff will ensure you have a fantastic experience with us.
We would love to discuss how to be a part of your next event! Order for your next party or bring it to Jibarito Time! Our restaurant which seats 40-50 people is available for lunches, dinners, and more.
For catering questions please contact us.
Most menu items that include plantains are gluten free! However, if you have Celiac or are severely allergic to gluten, please let us know so we can properly accommodate you!
Some items on our menu that contain gluten (ex- breaded chicken strips, breaded chicken breast, pastelillos, etc.) are also deep fried. So, for anyone with severe allergies or Celiac, we would not only fry your plantains in a separate oil that is ONLY used for non-gluten items, but we can also ensure that your food will be handled carefully (no cross-contamination).
We hope to continue to build our gluten free customer base and enjoy the thought of everyone being able to eat their favorite, juicy burger, italian, or any of our sandwiches that they choose without any worries!
