I know I've lived in Chicago for more than a decade now, all told, but I'd never had a jibarrito…read moreand frankly the idea sounded a little implausible. ("Yes, Brain, but why would somebody make a sandwich out of plantains?") But that is what they are famous for, I was nearby, and I figured I would try it. It's good! Just like you'd hope, the fried plantain slices are substantial enough to hold the meat and fillings without getting soggy, yet soft enough to make the sandwich reasonably tractable. I would have liked less mayo, but I understand that it's highly traditional. And somehow the slices weren't too greasy either. I still don't entirely *understand* it, but I would eat one again.

We got that the Papa's Medio Pollo Chon to share for a family of 3. The Medio Pollo Chon is the signature half-rotisserie chicken at Papa Cache Sabroso, and while it's certainly edible, I found it to be just okay. My husband compared it to a Costco rotisserie chicken. Don't expect a gourmet experience, but you'll get a decent plate of food for a fair price. It's an okay 3-star experience--nothing to complain about, but nothing I'll be rushing back for next week, either.

I'll start by saying... this is a must visit!…read more I came here on a Saturday morning with a friend for brunch. This location, out of the two, has brunch and cocktails. The other location doesn't. Upon arrival, we were seated quickly. Unfortunately, it took us a while to be serviced. Other parties were being served and given food before us. It took for one of the servers to notice and immediately assigned someone to our table. I ordered the Jibarito pollo with a side of rice and peas. I also ordered a cocktail. The food didn't take too long and was hot and fresh when it reached our table. The chicken wasn't too big nor too chewy or dry. The plantain was cooked perfectly. On the way out, I ordered two beef empanadas and a slice of tres leches to go. The sauce given with the empanadas was sooo good. I need an entire jar of that. I rated it four stars for the customer service.

I've passed by Sandwichón Café countless times driving up and down Harlem, so we finally decided to…read morestop in for lunch--and I'm glad we did. At first, I was a little unsure how it worked since there's a service counter, but staff quickly greeted us and showed us to a table. Table service was a pleasant surprise. Our server was friendly and knowledgeable, walking us through an impressively extensive menu. I ordered the Double Medianoche--pulled pork, ham, mustard, Swiss cheese, and sweet pickles, all pressed panini‑style. My friend went with the Pan con Croqueta, a ham and cheese sandwich topped with a ham croquette. For anyone unfamiliar (myself included), croquetas are minced pork that's breaded and deep‑fried. Both sandwiches were solid, but the Medianoche was the clear winner for me--warm, flavorful, and perfectly pressed. With so many options on the menu, there's plenty more I want to try. Friendly staff, good food, and a comfortable dine‑in experience. Definitely worth a stop if you're in the area. There at least two signs advising they will charge 18% gratuity to tables of three or more and will not split checks for three or more.

The beans and rice complimented the skirt steak so well. The chimichurri added this amazing fresh tanginess to every bite. I didn't need to add any extra sauce or anything to my meal. My boyfriend ordered a steak jarbarrito with no cheese. They got the order wrong and had cheese on it, they took it back and pulled the cheese off of it. They did not remake it unfortunately. Making the best out of it he still enjoyed his jarbarito. His only qualm was that the plantain buns were not even on both sides. The ratio of meat to bun is extensive. But It looked and smelled so good! We also ordered passionfruit juice, I don't suggest to order that because it's the blue can juice from the market. It is not natural passionfruit juice. Our waiter was not the best. They do have a lady server in there. We wish we had her because she was very tentative and did end up helping our server out. Ambience was very clean. It does get packed quickly. All in all great experience, we will be back!
