Our Take
The Spot
Smash Jibarito takes its name from the jibarito, the Puerto Rican sandwich that trades bread for flattened, fried plantains, and pairs that format with smash-burger technique. The West Town spot leans into a distinctly Puerto Rican identity, serving Latin American food at a casual, low price point.

Regulars call out the burger execution specifically, and the place has built a reputation as a local gem — the kind of spot neighbors point to as authentic and worth seeking out.

The Infatuation gave Smash Jibarito an 8/10.
