Overall, I'd give the food a 3.5 out of 5; the flavors felt kind of weak. I got Arroz blanco con habichuelas guisada (white rice and stewed Puerto Rican beans) con carne frita (fried pork fritter) and the portion was a good ammount 5/5 there too. I also got two empanadas: one pizza, one beef, and cheese--those were a major hit, 5/5! I will be going back in the future to try all the other options they have because there's a lot to try

El Jibarito has a window to order takeout from and a backyard area with tables if you want to eat onsite. I liked the casual vibe of this restaurant. My fella had a pernil sandwich that he said was one of the best he's had, and my friend had a pernil plate. I had the mofongo with shrimp. The shrimp were really good and I liked that the mofongo didn't have chicharron in it, although it was a little dry. Overall great meal and experience and it was nice to meet the owner who was a sweetheart. I watched a steady stream of customers come and go while I was there, so its safe to say El Jibarito is a popular eatery in Lancaster.

The food was flavorful. I got the goat, and morcilla (blood sausage) and my partner got the beef, platanos, and yuca. His beef was fall-off-the-bone tender, platinum, and yuca was great. My goat was a bit chewy, and morcilla a bit dry, but still very tasty. I'd definitely come back to try their other à la carte dishes. There are so many choices even if I went back every day for lunch for a week, I still would not be able to sample all that they offer. I couldn't take a pic of my partner's plate as it was so good he inhaled all of it, I barely got any, and that's how you know his plate was amazing!! Service was awesome as well, the lady was so nice and helpful.

First off LOVE the domino's setup inside the restaurant. Great cultural references to Puerto Rican and Dominican Culture. Menu is pretty extensive with tons of traditional dishes such as mofongo, tostones, pernil, rice and beans, pollo guisada, carne guisada, etc. We did the Lancaster Restaurant Meal Deal. 3 course for $29 dollars. Now don't get me wrong food was EXCELLENT. But 29 dollars was a little steep compared to other Puerto Rican and Dominican Cuisine restaurants in the Lancaster, York, Lebanon Areas! We got Tostones (garlic sauce was AMAZING!) typically tostones are served with mayoketchup (they have their own version of mayoketchup which was good as well!). The second course was their Pernil, Yellow Rice and side of beans. Also a fantastic dish. The Pernil was not fatty at all and had a great marinated flavor! The smoothie was the 3rd course. Morir Soñando. Think of an Orange juice smoothie/milkshake. Not orange creamsicle. I could drink one of these everyday! Very good would like to go back for the mofongo!
