Food is always fabulous! I ordered off of the brunch menu as usual, and had to put Cristian through some changes on his first day!!! My eggs Benedict didn't have traditional hollandaise sauce, and didn't look like what I thought I ordered. He handled it like a seasoned pro! What a professional, polite service champ! All of my issues or concerns were addressed and taken care of. Even when the customer was wrong! Thank you La Jibarito, for consistently offering great food and service. Cristian is an asset! Cristian, I hope your first day ended up being as fantastic as you are!!! read more

Ambiente, servicio y comida excelente ! Great location ! Risotto de gandules is to die for.

Great little cafe, Like those little cafés you see in a movie or tv show. Great schurrazo with plantains, chorizo al vino as appetizer. The mojito had lots of mint The margarita was delicious and packed a little punch A little friend joined me for a bite of chorizo and pan. Best of all, Di-d, my delightful, slightly camera-shy server was sóooo nice and very politely accommodated my awful Spanish. Another enchanted day in the Isle of Emchantment. I wish my wife , Steph was with me. She will be soon. read more

In spite of its unimpressive exterior and rustic ambiance you are likely to walk out of here with a smile. Although improperly listed under burgers, the pulled pork sandwich was the best pulled pork that I have ever had. Order it with the most perfect onion rings. We were a party of five and everyone was very pleased. The attentive servers explained that everything is homemade including the sauces, soups and desserts. Go for it! read more

Great service and delicious food. First time trying and so happy we came across this place on our walk back to hotel. The staff was so friendly as soon as we walked in. The menu was simple and it was easy to order. Drinks were so delish and food was packed with flavor. If in town, would recommend making time to stop by for good music and a fun atmosphere. read more

Yummy spot for lunch & dinner. The interior (?) is SO incredible. I say interior (?) because the ceiling is open, there's barely a roof. Super fun & unique spot. I had been eyeing this place on Yelp, and when we were in the area I couldn't pass up the opportunity. We used the street parking, which is metered, and there was plenty. We ordered a pizza & sandwich. Nothing authentic or Puerto Rican. It was still yummy nonetheless. Service was VERY quick. The pizza was out in no time! We had no reservations and there was no wait. Our waitress made our lives so easy! The aesthetic of this place was most appealing to me, over the food. Would make for great photos or a great evening date. We'd love to be back! read more

This is highly unprofessional & unacceptable. read more

Good authentic Puerto Rican food. I ordered the pechuga a la plancha (chicken was a little dry and chewy) but jibaras (Frenchfries) were so good! . Even tough i was not totally satisfied with my food i gave it 4 because I tried everyone else's food...and it was good! El huevon hamburgers was GOOD, sopa de platano, and los nachos Service was good, food takes a little bit so make sure you order right away. Ambiance was comfortable and family friendly. read more

First, I have to say this place feels quiet magical. We visited on a Monday night and it was packed and I can see why. The staff was very attentive and the tapas were delicious. The alcapurrias jibaras were so delicious we ordered it twice. We also ordered the croquetas de queso and masitas de pescado with tostones de pana. The portions were more than plentiful for two and everything tasted delicious. Definitely a must visit. read more

Food and atmosphere were both excellent! The nachos were massive and the queso was delicious. Service was amazing and the open air dining space was unique. The overall experience was so good that we returned the next day for lunch. The churrasco was much larger than I'd expected, which was a pleasant surprise. The server brought some hot sauce that made it even better! I most definitely recommend that you check out La Jibarita when you are in Mayagüez! La comida y el ambiente fueron excelentes! Los nachos eran enormes y el queso estaba delicioso. El servicio fue increíble y el comedor al aire libre fue único. La experiencia en general fue tan buena que volvimos al día siguiente para almorzar. El churrasco era mucho más grande de lo que esperaba, lo cual fue una agradable sorpresa. ¡El servidor trajo un poco de salsa picante que lo hizo aún mejor! ¡Definitivamente recomiendo que visites La Jibarita cuando estés en Mayagüez! read more

Great food, great service, great live music and great atmosphere. Really recommend, date night or family night.

Cute quaint spot that Mayagüez definitely needed. Went for an early dinner as really enjoyed the ambiance and service. Food came out fairly fast for PR standards. I appreciated all the food coming out at the same time. A rarity here. Well seasoned. Good selection. Rustic feel with a new school twist. Burgers and pizza were really good. read more

Wow I'm impressed !! The food was really good we had the garbanzo soup yummy as an appetizer. For dinner we had the fish tacos and Chicken quesadillas both were delicious. Service was great too. Highly recommend if you want some awesome food. Great job !! read more

The set up was really cool , despite being half outdoors the fans kept the place very cool . The food was good but gave off an Applebees vibe , of course our younger son enjoyed the chicken wings which were very tasty . Our server was very attentive to our table and gave recommendations for our order . read more

We've been here three times during our stay. Even took our 93 year old grandmother there. Great atmosphere and service! Food is delicious but left us wanting traditional Puerto Rican fare on the regular menu at a place called Jibarita. Bring us more arroz con habichuelas, the special menu that had it was delicious! Still, I highly recommend. We were never there past ten when the young people party and dance but felt safe and welcome even after dark. I can't say enough about the servers being very gracious and the drinks were perfect. No AC but fans keep it cool and mosquito free. read more

I came here in my recent trip to puerto rico and heard that mayaguez had alot of great food spots so I came across this place by chance and im glad I did. I'll say this now... BEST NACHOS IVE EVER HAD. I was in love with the cleanliness and overall down to earth nature of the staff. They speak English and Spanish, plus I became so comfortable with them from the moment I sat in my chair. My party members both had burgers, one had a classic burger which was delicious and the second burger was called the jibaro burger which was hands down amazing and the fries were fire too. If your a tourist I'd suggest to check them out especially if there's a date night. The vibe of the inside and outside scenery was tropical and uplifting especially with the amazing music that wasn't too loud playing in the background. read more

What a wonderful location to eat Latin food! I would return again. The service was great!

I've been to many restaurants in the area and none of them looks like this restaurant. You don't feel you are in Mayaguez, is an outdoor unique experience in the heart of Mayaguez. If you are a foodie you would 100% like it. They offered pizzas, burgers and nachos. The specialty of the house the Churasco with Majado and some tostones de pana, WOW! The Dorado al Ajillo y very very good. You can finish it with La Bofeta, is a cookie though with vanilla ice cream... after that you would be the happiest! read more

Passing through Mayagüez during a recent trip to la isla del encanto, I had the pleasure of dining at La Jibarita. What a spectacular use of ruins made into a quaint place to enjoy good food and pleasant breezes. The food was very good although some items were heavy on the garlic. Drinks and service were very good (4.5 stars for customer service and speed; especially for PR standards.. it's an island thing). Ambiance and location are a plus. read more

Make sure you hit that while you out there having a blast. Good was phenomenal! Sites to see inside as well

Amazing! This place not only surpasses the vibe check, it's also super accommodating for folks with food sensitivities and allergies. Trying to find gluten-free and tree-nut free alternatives can be challenging. Alani was so nice, attentive and supportive in helping me make an informed choice. The food and drinks quality was also great. 1,000% Recommend! read more

Mayagüez is famous for its student-filled environment. It was long overdue to have a place like this one. Amazing food during the day and a great atmosphere at night with live music, djs and delicious drinks. The brunch here is exquisite. It combines the classics that we all love with the Puerto Rican flavor and attitude. The flavored mimosas add a kick that satisfies every craving. I totally reccomend this and exhort you to go and see how magical this place truly is. History in the walls and savory taste for your gut read more

I went for the first time back in 2020 with my family. We arrived a little late in time, although the restaurant was able to give our meals for to-go and we ate them back at the hotel that we were staying. My meal was the hamburger by the name of "El Huevón", which is your typical red meat patty along with an egg. This hit right on the spot since I was drinking a little bit, so in other words its a great hangover burger. But I must say. Try to go at lunch time, the meals are 100% more legit at that time. read more

I don't have enough space to explain what a wonderful experience I had here with my husband and later on with my family. Friday night they had live music and a wonderful ambience. Drinks were great too, LOVED the mojitos. The next day I went with my family, the bien e was just as beautiful. This place gives you Old San Juan vibes. Perfect place for "after-pandemic" gatherings. Service was awesome too. They have a young lady from Spain, she was lovely. Food was great: pizza, truffled sweet potato fries, sliders, hummus, quesadillas, I mean, everything we tried had great flavor and awesome presentation. Warning: they are closing the kitchen at 9pm, close the restaurant to start the "Jangeo" at 10pm to 3am. The place was getting packed as we were leaving. No doubt, this is THE place to visit in Mayawest! read more

We arrived on a rainy day, and its an outdoor site; but we just sat near the bar and had a splendid time. The waitress was super attentive, talkative and served excellently. The menu is pretty awesome and the food is Delish-iously great! We order the nachos and 3 pizza-the cookie, guaynabita and la jibarita. Everything was really good and service too: highly recommended! read more
